[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by n012944 [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by futuremodal [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Murphy Siding [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Lets see if I got this right... The thread title, which you typed, some how confirms the details in the posts you write? How, because you wrote it, or just because you said it does? The thread's title confirms nothing more that you know how to type. Ed [/quote] Ed.....um....just to point out to Dave that I'm not *piling on, like the other usual suspects*......I should probably point out, that someone else started the tread, and gave it the title. Dave simply made the thread his own, so he could continue having the same arguement that he seems to enjoy having.[;)] [/quote] Actually, the thread title is straight from the original news item posted by the thread starter. I added a complimentary news item a few pages later. These news reports regarding the railroads' inability to keep up with contractual commitments are now fairly commonplace. And no, I haven't penned ANY of them! I have simply commented on them. If it seems I have made this thread "my own" as Murphy claims, it may be in truth that I'm the only one left who is actually discussing the topic in question rather than hurling the usual volley of insults. Too bad the rest of you can't keep to the topic in question, prefering character assassination instead. It's almost as if this is how this forum was set up by Bergie - someone posts a topic unflatterring to railroads, others such as myself comment on these unflatterring characteristics of the railroads, and instantly the *rail professionals* and trolling wannabes start ad hominem attacks on the ones who add the observations, instead of offering their counterarguments.. [/quote] Is this your idea of keeping to the topic and not hurling insults? From page 2, "Mudchicken - what was your college degree? Or did you have one? Stick to what you know - rotten ties, rusty spikes, and weedy ballast. Leave the economics to those who have the degree. -------------------- Dave The Milwaukee & Northwestern. Now that would have been something to see! Go Zags!" I didn't realize that the topic was Mudchickens college degree, my bad.[:D] From what I have seen on this board Dave, it is usually you who starts the name calling/insult once someone shows how foolish your posts are. So why the new attitude? Did you realize that your insults made you look foolish? Did you get a warning from someone on this board to knock it off? Bert [/quote] Check Mudchicken's previous post in which he throws out an unnecessary insult at me. Then tell me if you still think I started the mud slinging.
