He wont be gracing us with his presence any more…
Shame. Bob 1 ; Trolls 0
He’s going to be missed, not. Glad you took care of him. I had a feeling he was going to be a problem.
As much as giving a troublemaker the chop is fun, he gave himself this one. Emailed me to close his account, and insulted every modeler on the site, myself included. Nothing we do is worth his time, nor of any value, apparently. And I would be much happier if I kept you all out of LSC and let more of his type in. Who knew?
I was kinda curious about what was going on in the background, but figgered if it was any body’s business, you’d keep us informed…
I sent him a back-channel message, basically a slightly more stern version of what I posted after his first message:
A word to the wise, [name].
You’re really not going to make any friends here with the attitude that people that share their research and what they work on are fools. Being part of LSC you are expected to show a bit of decorum and mutual respect for everyone on the site, and you will be accorded the same. I run LSC for fun, because I love the hobby. People that join who have an axe to grind, a chip on their shoulders, or a “my way is the right way” attitude don’t last long here.
You’re welcome to be part of the site, but your first post hasn’t won you any friends.
He fired back with all guns:
Bob, delete me. delete everything, the last thing I want to do is talk one of of those goofs later on. Your guys are all what the rivet counters that buy and use blueprint sets call “napkin builders”. Meaning they will use sketchs and napkin drawings to build to. I am a blueprint builder, and thats like fire and water together, it doesn’t work. I went through the forum and did not find one useful bit of info or posted drawing that I could use. If I stayed, I’d never find a thing in that list of guys, we are going in different directions. I think if you had a reliable way to keep the “napkin builders” out, you’d be a lot happier in the long run, but do what makes you happy, and thanks for treating me fair, even though I am brash. I’m nearly finnished collecting anything, and I’m impatient and freustrated with the same guys that build to notes on napkins, so it was inevitable here. You have a lot of those guys, maybe they can make you some money some how, I sure hope so. If you (only you) ever need to find any real original drawing set for something (3’ NG), contact me (Loco112 everywhere) I’ll find them for you, and sell them to you at cost, but they are never what I would call “cheap”. I pay for a forum to operat also, fully its all me, and its thankless, but I decided initially to hold out all the napkin builders from day one, it was the right thing to do, and man did it piss them off. I have made more progress in my collecting over that time (without them) than I could have in the same time with them and have had no troulbe at all. You’ll hear about my grand scale RR one day, feel free to contact it when that happens and you can come ride. It’ll be in Texas though. Take care, [name]
Woo hoo! I now have a new title: “Napkin Builder” 
Or maybe “Napkin Builder Goof”
I think you get the add-on of “Goof” after your tenth napkin build. Sort of like year stripes or oak leaf clusters…
So, I wonder if Rooster or Ken will build a “Builder’s Napkin Factory”?
And he wonders why rivet counters have a bad name.
I second that, Bob.

Well, they do say that 99% of the rivet counters give the rest a bad name…
Is that EXACTLY 99%, or APPROXIMATELY 99%. Big difference.

I don’t need any more ideas, Lou…
And Bob, you have my utmost sympathy in having to deal with those kinds of people. You were a lot more diplomatic then I would be…

Might want to save that for next year’s contest.
Napkins are mighty fancy … around here we scritch in the dirt…
1, 2, 3, 4, thumb… dang lost count
Good idea, Bruce. Everyone will get a napkin to submit their idea on!
But first we have to get everybody signed up as a “Goof”. I tried to get Bob to award me that medal, but no luck so far.

Hehe I guess he forgot to take his meds before posting on here lol… We could have had fun with him. Napkin builders? I like that. Bob do you have his address maybe we can send him some napkins to wipe is a s s with… Maybe throw some sandpaper in between. (oops did I just say that out loud) I love dealing with these types of people at work. I have fun with them…
