Thank you cheese3. You didn't really miss anything if you've never seen any of the topics I've posted... I'm into N scale, and no, I don't have any pictures to post but thanks for asking.

So, trainluver1, we wish you well on your quest through Cyberspace for the perfect forum. If you find it, drop us a line that we may bask in its glory, but if you wander through the wilderness for a while and come up empty-hoppered, give us a grade-crossing toot. The coffee may be a few hours old, but it will always be warm.

[#ditto] Sam. My feelings exactly. Make sure that yiou do pop back once in a while and like antoinio said if you do need to let your hair down,swing by the coffee shop we don't bite. Keep well I;'ve enjoyed reading and responding to some of your topics. Rob

Sam,
I understand how you feel.A few years ago I was posting on another forum.When someone asked a question about GE locomotives.
So I answered it to the best of my ability (being a professional railroader).Giving my honest opinion.Well, I guess it wasnt what he wanted to hear and he slammed me every way he could on the public board.
At that point I was totally done with message boards.I went a couple of years without posting at all.Till I found this board and decided to give it a try.Also let me say that I never went back to that other forum.The day that post was made was my last day on that board.

Hang in there TL1. The memory of it all will soon go away and you can concentrate on the the more enjoyable parts of this forum.

Glad you jumped back up and are ready to go again.

Wow. I am very impressed with how this thread has gone. I agree that trainluver was right to bare his soul before he signed off for keeps. He gave us a chance to ask him to reconsider, and you folks (male and female) came through in a huge way for him. My gratitude and admiration extends to all who have replied with kindness. For those who felt compelled to bid him good riddance,... your opinion is not shared by many here, and I am to be counted with them.

The person who contacted you, TL, had the right if your e-mail was available in your profile. Without knowing what the context of the exhanges were, we can't judge either his or your responses. It must have been pretty upsetting for you to offer to leave what I feel is a wonderful and sympathetic circle of colleagues and friends.

Like the others, I am happy we've convinced you to stay. Even if we disagree a whole lot, your opinion should have no more value than mine. Our ability to maintain civil discourse is what gives this forum authenticity and depth.

I understand how you feel. One of my favorite motorcycle forums was taken over by flame-spewers and needlers about a year ago. I hung in hoping for change. It never came, so I never went back.

I've never seen much in the way of problems on this board, but if you have, I know how you feel.

Go easy, man.

I've never heard anything about Robert Taylor being gay...

Glad to know I'm not the only classic movie lover out there. I've got 686 movies in my modest little collection of sci fi, westerns, comedy, etc that I started back in 1989. Some are on VHS and some on DVD.
Friends of mine tell me if I had commercials that I could start my own TV station...

Thanks folks ( I say folks in case there's any females involved), I appreciate what you've said. Don Gibson was not the guy I had the run in with. The guy I did have words with wrote me and started in on me about some things I'd said in a past topic that he didn't like-which I should have ignored and this whole mess would have never happened, but I've never been one that could take an insult sitting down, so I fired back and we got into it...
I'm going to take your advice and stay on, and if the guy in question gives me the least bit of trouble I'm going to turn him in and do all I can to cost him his membership on this forum. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND MIKE"... I can play hard ball too!. If you so much as disagree with me about anything I'm going to reveal your user name and let the members here on the forum have you for lunch.

I'm with the rest of them, Sam--let Bergie take care of it, okay? I'd hate to see you have to leave a really good forum because of the threats of one poster. Stick around, okay? I don't know what this other person's problem is, but I think I can certainly say that the REST of us like you!

Sam,
I think your best coarse of action would be to foward that email to Bergie and let him
deal with the guy. This forum doesn't belong to any of us and no one has the right
to harrass you for what ever reason. Good luck, Dave

Okay. I admit. I do owe everyone an explaination for pulling out.
First of all I was angry when I posted this topic. What made me angry was an exchange between myself and another member through our private e-mail. He wrote me out of the clear blue about something I said a while back and we went into it. His final remarks were, and I quote; I'll be watching the forum, and every time I see that you've replied to a topic I'm going to run you down any way I can!...
I'm not going to reveal the persons ID, but rather think it best if I change mine, make a fresh start and let it go at that.
