Young Master, when I was 13 there was no internet. Any trains were run in front of friends and friends of friends who may never have seen trains before. Any problems with these trains usually resulted in teasing. Sometimes other people reveal their interest in trains and bring thiers to run. At that time in my life, I only had two anywhere near my age who showed interest in running trains. Cheap train set stuff too.Today, there is the internet. When you type here or anywhere, you are literally broadcasting to the world and stamping your words forever. As long there is a internet in a free land 10 years, 50 years or 500 years your words stand.Today society is a little bit more "Fast and loose" than my generation was and even my father's time. Each generation grew up with thier own issues and challenges of the time. Your generation is possibly the first time that young folks can get on line and communicate and learn or teach others. This probably never has been done before.Now. If you take a few days break and come here and say that you feel badly for behaving or otherwise breaking forum rules on language and perhaps suffering problems with me or other forum members then take a break but dont quit.If I saw another trucker on the highway, that trucker and I understand each other. I can run with him or her as hard as they can stand and as long they dont quit we get it done.But here. We have a great age difference. It makes a little bit more difficult to understand how to be more careful or perhaps more gentle in communciation. 13 years of old is a great age. But the next 10 years of your life is going to be either awesome (It should be) or hell. There is no one here that can help you with that.Now regarding trains. Put them away, take a break from the computer, get outside with your friends and participate in games etc. you will find that the down time is a chance to heal and feel better and perhaps stronger for the next problem.To write these types of challenge threads is going to get you very wet. You dont want to obey a call of nature in a strong wind and Im sorry, but the internet is like the strongest wind there is and you will get soaked.These forums have a Moderator, a very wise person who is not afraid to mete out punishment. If I broke a rule I will be sent to punishment. To the moderator I am just another problem that can easily be taught with a warning or tossed out by a ban if I did something bad on these forums. I have been punished before and some of us more than others.If you want to show strength, do it with patience, peace and understanding. Not by direct conflict or challenges because you might not like the results. You may not care to read any of this stuff that I wrote here but Im sure that somewhere there is a person who likes to run trains and that is what it should be all about.Playing with trains and having fun, not picking fights you cannot win.
