I'm sorry, Ben...was I talking to you?
I have an idea that may just put an end to all of this nonsense and get all of these threads back on track. How about we just agree on a few simple guidelines:
1) Let's not call people names. Regardless of how you feel about someone, it seems civil enough to refrain from actually calling someone a foul name.
2) Let's try to respect other's opinions, regardless of how much we dissagree. While pointing out reason for a different thought is productive to most threads as a whole, this can be done without insulting one's methods or opinions.
3) Let's try and keep all of our threads on a positive note. I am as guilty as anyone of going down the negative road from time to time, and I feel bad about it everytime. We all know that it's possible to dissagree while staying on a positive tone. Thgis is how real progress is made. I have had my mind changed on several occasions here by people who point out what I am doing wrong, why it's wrong, and a better way to do things. This is why I'm here...to learn as well as share what I have learned in the last 20 years. There will always be occasions when we will just have to agree to disagree...and there's nothing wrong with that. Let's just do it as adults, and proffesionals.
I, for one, agree to never attack you UB. I thought we had a group hug and moved on over some Modelo Dark. There was actually about a day and a half with some real good stuff on your thread. Then the insults started and the whole thing went to shit. So, you ended up with 3 pages of pure crap. I don't believe you want that. It's a monster thread loaded with killer info, especially for people just getting started. I would hate to see it diluted with petty arguments and insults. People will read that and just move on, possibly missing out on the good information you have so much of and are willing to share.
Now let's get to growing.
