You do not want me to weigh in on this.
Trust me.
I will add this light dash....

Nobody is forcing you to read something you don't want to read.
They may take your firearms away, but I am not aware of any regulation requiring you to read what you don't want to read.
All you do by posting vitriolic responses is to show you have lost self-control and are reading the posts you don't want to read.

Drop it.

One of the characteristics that we all need to have in this world, to work, enjoy hobbies, or just share experiences with each other, is respect for one another. A mark of a person's maturity, is their ability to respect others. That means speech and the written word. I have read many of the treads on this forum, and it is very apparent to me that there is a considerable amount of immaturity.

First: If I see a subject of which I have no interest, I move on to another. I am not compelled to make a rash, immature statement because I don't agree, or wi***o incite a riot....that is the act of an immature person.

Second: A forum subject such as a "Coffee Shop" is nothing more than what it would be in real world at work, a place to sit for a while, discuss whatever interest you and those who share the same desire. It gives you a chance to "know" the other person a bit. In getting to know someone, you are better prepared to share common interests, what the bother person is interested in besides trains.

If you disagree with me, that is your right, and I respect that right. But if you want me to respect you as a person......then that is an "earned" respect. Life is far too short to treat others badly, we only go this way once, and there are no second chances.

Have a great day everyone.....

While you make some great trams, and I love the Thomas pictures, you have no contribution here in the

OFF TOPIC THREAD.

Grow up, quite being a negative nelly, and quite trains.com or stay in your little part of the world. I ended the other topic because of you. And yet I get under you thin skin. I like to socialize, I like people. Many on here have asked you to chill out, yet you persist. I am tired of being polite to a small minded, person with people problems. Find a Shrink over there. Look at a search on google for one, and go see him. I bet with a little help, he will help you get over your anger. Or are you going to just say, I had too much to drink again.

Yes.It seems quite clear.

Ok.Tim.Are you Biggie Smalls.Remember.If you lie the Great Big God is going to squash you and do nasty things.

[vsmith]

Biggie Smalls was a member on the Model RR forum who one day decided to attack several members online with some rather unplesent postings, bergie banned him from the site.

Please both of you bear that in mind when discussing your differences and try to keep it civil. The moderators here do have the right to ban anyone they feel is disruptive to the forum. thats all I'm saying, I have better things to do.

[Anonymous]

I'm sorry,Biggie Smalls.
Unfair advantage,perhaps.could be some form of sanitaryware perhaps?

[TurboOne]

Hi Vic and Ian. How are you doing?

Vic, it looks like the return of Biggie Smalls

Tim

[TurboOne]

Not even close. As I have kids now, I have learned flaming doesn't accomplish anything. But you can come online write something short. Here or at MLS and think you are cute. But alas you still have nothing to add. Your guile only makes you laugh, the rest just feel sorry for you.

Whats funny, back when you had your profile posted, you seemed like a normal guy that liked trains. I thought we might have something in common showing our kids trains. But no. ALAS.

Is this what is called 'flaming' ?
I have to ask as we don't use the expression in the UK

Maybe you are a little child that pops in when no one is looking, makes a silly comment, and then runs away. Hopefully you act more like an adult around people then you do in a forum.

Good evening garden folk. More rain has come. Backyard is slowly turning to swimming pool again. Scanner acting up, so new pic will be uploaded Saturday. Someday we will be a desert again but not this weekend. Hope the guys in the land of LA are doing ok. Vic, and others what say you ?

Tim

[TurboOne]

Good evening all, had some long drives today. Tomorrow closer to home. Should get to finish some paper work, and generate more cash. Wi***he Cab Forward would hurry up. That will be the decision between O and G, which comes first, and which is better. Tomorrow I will have an amazing pic for you but a picture you won't believe.

Take care all,

Tim

Pale Rider was good.. Unforgiven was really good.I like all of Eastwoods films. Heck I just like all westerns, Think I might go roll me a cigar and have a shot o wiskey at the local saloon...........................[C):-)]

[Anonymous]

Hang em high was O.K.

How about Play Misty For Me That was Clint's directorial deput, the bar tender was Don Segal the director for Dirty harry and Escape from Alcatraz. Clint cast him as the bar tender to have him on location for imput and support. It was also shot at Clint's home in Carmel( Budget saver).

[TurboOne]

So how is everyone doing ? Hopefully we all are having fun. I have been working in the
mortgage business, so it will be a little bit before I get some train time. But with money coming in, I can add the track I need to fini***he big layout. Now I just need some time, maybe I will take my Birthday off and that weekend. [:D]

How did everyone like "Hang 'em High" ???

Take care all

Favorite Eastwood flick, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly!

I think I read about that in his Biography.

Just checked imdb.com. Sure enough, Willem Defoe played Christ and Harvey Keitel played Judas. Now I'm REALLY gonna have a hard time watching that movie.

Favorite Eastwood flick? Probably The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Hey all here's my take on it, 99.99% of everything I watch is on DVD, drive the wife crazy with my surround sound in our bedroom[:D].

Million dollar Baby- Havent seen it. However I really believe Clint Eastwood is an awsome director and actor! I own 98% of everyone of his movies.
HOWEVER, I never even heard of this movie or saw a preview for it on T.V.! until it was nominated! If you ever compare numbers and schedule of Clint's movies versus others he is fonominal! at it.

On this one though I think the Oscars are trying to be more like the Cans film festival....Artsyfartsy so to speak.

I wish Clint would make another western! Or just start shooting peaple again(movie wise that is)

[vsmith]

Mark,
Tempation is definetly worth seeing, Dont remember is it is DeFoe in it but it was made back in the 1980's almost 20 years ago, so I dont think you'll have any Spidey flashbacks!

As for the Oscars, i see quite a few movies each year, some great, some terrible. This year so many smaller screen movies were on the list I only saw a few of the major pics.

Million Dollar Baby = million dollar remake of "Old Yeller" with boxing added.

Hotel Rwanda = didnt see, call it the "Schindler's List effect" but I'm not watching flicks like this anymore in the theater, I'll wait for DVD.

Ray = another we never got around to seeing, definetly going to catch on DVD

Finding Neverland = a wonderfull film, full of emotion and a real magic, so its not 100% historically accurate, what movie is?, definetly deserved to be on this list

Sideways =while a really fun film to watch in places, it does have a certain intellectual pretension to it that might alienate non-wine-snob-west-coast-intelligentia-types. However there are some very funny scenes in it. Didnt think it deserved Best Pic nom though.

The Aviator = should have won IMHO, outstanding movie, Scorcesce should have gotten the oscar for best director at the very least, but the Hollywood insiders and the pro-Clint-mafia snuffed out the competition.

My PERSONAL favorite movie of 2004? Shaun of the Dead!!! [:p]

TOC, good thing I'm not on your crew, I think I'd go ape-s**t from claustraphobia in those tight spaces!!![:0]
