I don't think people "bashed" ccrider because he posted pics of a graffitied car. It was because he presented as an utter twerp, and his modelling was very ordinary, contradicting his claim to be a well-paid professional.

Cheers,

I was only kidding. I have only been posting for less than a week and can tell that there are some good, knowledgeable people on this forum. I am already using the advice and info I have gained from here.

Thanks all

I find it hard to believe anyone would get disgusted and voice their opinion on a model train car decorated with graffiti. They need to get a life!

"They" didn't. Various posters voiced an opinion on the childish antics of the thread's originator. You need to know the full story before you offer your opinion.

What do you find hard to believe?  That someone who has to pay for the cleanup isn't pleased with the perp?  Or that someone who jumps into the forums with an IN YOUR FACE attitude and starts insulting long-time members when they call him on it doesn't inspire admiration among the adults present?  I suggest that you go to my earlier post on Page 1 of this thread - and read it.

As for getting a life - I've had a long, full and interesting one.  Can you say the same?

Let it die.  Please, just let this die.  We gain nothing by getting another thread locked/deleted.

No matter what anyone thinks about getting a life, Kalmbach's policy about posting tasteless, political, religious, highly contentious, dangerous, disrespectful, personal, or criminal subjects, including imagery and videos of those, is that they shall not be posted.  No matter what the OP or others think is wrong with that, he/they has/have no choice but to conform.  When he opens up his own forum, he will be able to dictate what is and isn't allowed.   If he chooses to allow everything on principle, then in priniciple I hope he is richly rewarded.
