[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 Well guys, Lot's of good responses but for me personally, I find much greater value in being able to give helpful suggestions as well as reading some of the super good ideas that I've seen on this Forum. I find the quality and thoughts behind posts and responses much more valuable and meaningful. BillMatthewson, I read your above response. You've got your act together and are mentally sharp, don't let "flamers" irritate you! CNW flamed me some months back and I responded "irritably". Since then I've discovered that one is better off ignoring flaming responses and to later continue helping the person that flamed you anyway. Sounds "Pacificist"? It's not, really, That person, in turn, perhaps out of guilt, will often respond supportingly to your future posts. [;)] In our personal lives, friends and family "flame us" on a regular basis. Hopefully, we don't continually torpedo them back. We forget about it and move on!" [:)] A while back Doggy flamed a few people on the TRAINS forum and was repeatedly "Blow Torched!". I haven't seen his posts in a long while. I would like to see him back. The people beating him over might have felt justified, but in the end we lose if he stops posting and leaves the forum altogether. While fun, star counts are bascially a bunch of electronically generated ones and zeroes on the computer screen. BigBoy4005 - with all due respect, you have good intentions but your comment about "friends in high places" and "sending in e-mail" while not meant to be, sounds arrogant. Makes you appear like you have a "big stick" when in reality the moderators checking these posts have the stick. Just an observation guy, nothing more. Cheers! And thanks to all my fellow modelers for the help in your posts and responses! [/quote] Well said. The forums are for exchanging knowledge, ideas, and friendships. Personal attacks are not needed or appreciated. EVERYONE Please do your best to refrain from attacking people by name or responding to a personal attack. Please remember the Golden Rule and treat others are you would like to be treated. Remember you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. [;)] Trust me as time goes on you don't pay that much attention to anyone's stars much less your own. Forget about the stars on concentrate on meeting people, exchanging ideas, helping people in the hobby, encouraging those of lesser skills (modeling skills and people skills) and in doing so you will find that you have new friends that enjoy your forums visits and look forward to reading your posts. You not only will gain new friendships but will enjoy your time in the forums so much more. Play Fair Be Nice Be a Friend. Then you will gain a Friend.
