The "OTHER FORUM" Rants... aka:can't we all just get along?
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 7:10 AM
i too am/was a frequent visitor at "the other forum".
but now the other forum seems to be a place for complaining about the forum.
i pray that the members and posters in this forum are interested in trains and not as interested in complaining, flaming and nitpicking and making a post wicked long with and providing more personal opinion and vinegar than necessary. [V]

i like trains. [:D][8D][:p][:)][:I][;)][^][;)][:D][:)][:p][8D]

i like to read about them.
i like to see them.
i like to hear about what you did with your trains.

i'm not embarrassed to say it.
I LIKE TRAINS
i hope you do to.[^]

I agree with you, I have made an effort at ORG not to fan the flames. I will say no more than that. Let's all talk trains and help each other improve our layouts an train collections. JIM

woodsy,

Good to see your post. I often would read yours on the OGR site because, if I remember right, you're in Roanoke, where I was born. Right now this looks like a good place for good information on model trains of all types. Hope it stays that way.

[:p] Since I have better trains than everyone else, [^] this is all a moot point. [:0][:0][:0]

Woodsy:

Precisely my feelings. Enough with the rants and complaints and bashing.

Un fortunately it's human nature...but it's also human nature to move on. I agree. We as a train community are much bigger than that. I have a lot of friends there and here and will keep it that way.

i have found that sometimes someone would make an innocent statement and it would be turned into a "flame". One large scale site was decimated because it got into scale wars. Keeping it peacful will be a big part of this transitional period of the CTT site.[:)]

It might be rather boring if we ALWAYS agreed and got along. As my father used to say, "It'd be a hell of a world if we all thought the same way".

Carl:

I agree, it's healthy to disagree. But we should always respect one another. Otherwise, things just get to be uncivil & will turn people away.
