Snip…

I get the newbies here for an ops session, fill them in on the facts of life…let them observe…and they realize it works, without the interference of any magazine or standards body trying to change things.

Thanks Dave for introducing me to large scale 13 years ago… :slight_smile: I may not always agree with what Dave says or understand why, but I’ve learned that 99% of the time, Dave’s advice was spot on.

The beauty of the Ops nights at Dave’s proves many of the things he’s discusses. How many other people carry regular 3-6 hour operating sessions on a biweekly basis??? Anyone? When I first meet Dave it was every Friday night except for Labor Day weekend…

My introduction to large scale problems and solutions was the BS sessions in the shed. Forums what forums? For a young teenager they were quite eye opening and entertaining but I learned a lot about the hobby.

Thanks Dave for hosting OPS nights. I hope to be back as a regular soon. :frowning:

You were one of the ones who looked in wonder at the contents of the box containing the Ames Super Sockets.
Forum software and user sensibilities will not allow me to repeat what was said.
And what to you mean, 99%?

Just for you Tim…Apparently I can figure out how to change out plastic wheels and post pictures on a forum. My version of John’s pickle cat in 1:20.3…Last scratch car I did.

And with that I bid you, and this forum ado…Far to much negativity for my taste.

Yep I remember those conversations… :slight_smile: Over on that other forum there’s a debate about leave it or gut it. I know what side I’m on.

Well nobody is perfect :wink:

That’s a damn shame!

#46

Yeah, it’s a bitch when others don’t conform to your taste and you just can’t convince them of your better way.

#47

Mark please stick around, its all just electrons scrambling around on a LCD screen.

#48

You’re limited to how many times you can play the “woe is me” card, or so I’ve heard.

Out to fill the void, apparently.

Mark,
it indeed would be a shame not to share your obvious talent. As regards ‘negativity’. Is it negativity simply because the opinions expressed are contrary to your particular point of view? It is human nature to disagree, but very selfish to deny others an opinion contrary to your own. Anarchy reigns when only one opinion may be expressed or is accepted.

Remember a coin has two sides. Without one face is it still a coin or just a lump of metal?

#51

Tim…I think that’s what we’ve discussed in several threads now.
If you don’t agree with me, it’s negative.
Try to get folks to look outside their comfort zone just a bit, and it’s “bashing”.
Oh, well.

You mean that my tribal customs are not laws of nature?

Steve, sorry but they are against the laws of nature, but we don’t enforce those laws…

Apparently. I think you need to start a new thread, where we can deal with those customs properly.

one modeller gone or on the verge of going isn’t exactly what i had in mind, when i asked for filling the void.

Too much negativity! Be positive! It is written in The Book who shall go and who shall stay.
Who are we to question the comings and the goings?

Bottom line:

If someone says something, and backs it up, and another views it as “negativity”, which one has the problem?
Just a question…since we’re filling the void here.

I get dead tired sometimes of folks who say something, and in no way can back it up…I’ll go off and work on automobiles for a while, or re-do some ballast or townsite.

Wah.

Well, while I do think there is a bit too much negativity here at times but it’s a lot like pornography, no one is twisting your arm to read it and if you see that someone who uses a lot of it posting on a thread, it’s not that hard to just mark that thread as read and move along.
