A bad or small train show is better than no show at all!!! 520 and glad you found something PistolPete!!!

[Anonymous]

Sounds like you had some fun.....519

[PistolPete]

emeraldisle, it wasn't a big show but we have no LHS nearby so it is the best I expect in this area. I picked up a BN F7, a UP SD40-2, 3 UP cabooses, a power pack, some switches, a trucking transfer kit, some military equipment, and some other assortet UP, BN and MEC equipment ,all and all a good day[:D][:D][:D] 518

Tim et al:

Emeraldisle's original post was inappropriate for this section of the forum, and my personal view inappropriate period. He has no excuse for not being aware of that. I called him on it, as well I should and would do again. I am weary of such immature behaviors. They waste everyone's time having to wade through nonsense and off topic posts to glean the information the actual model railroaders read this forum for. Were this an actively moderated forum I am quite sure he would have been called to heel and the topic deleted.

I continue to think, and again propose, the managers of this forum create an additional sub-forum dedicated to nonsense and 'harmless fun', where those so inclined and their intellectual peers can amuse themselves to their hearts content without littering the remainder of the forum with junk posts and personality conflicts.

Response to the above, posted today; See below.........
How ever inappropriate it may have been, your response was totally without tact and reflects very accurately on your attitude and smugness when it comes to having a little fun. Obviously, you don't how too, or you think it's beneath you to do so. I feel sorry for you and anyone else like you. At 58 years of age, and 50 years in this hobby, I'm still having fun and the day I stop having fun in this hobby, I'll leave it and never look back. I've encountered people like you many times before and consider you a detriment to this fine hobby. Your arrogance is a put off to all who enjoy this hobby for the pleasure of it. At least "Railroading Brit" had the HINDSITE to realize he had made a mistake and the COURTESY to appologize. You obviously don't have either. You won't have to worry about a future invitation from me, to anything. It won't ever happen. As for DOUGAL, he's welcome to come back over there anytime, there's no hard fellings over yesterday. It was probably bound to happen anyway. All friends have a blowup once in great while. It's what you afterwards that really counts. Hope to see you over on the other side DOUGAL.


Guys, if you really know who got this started, it's the EIGHTBALL that I responed to above. Dougal just got caught in the x-fire. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. As I said above, I feel sorry for anyone who is that narrow minded and can't enjoy this hobby for the fun of it. Life is too D@%& short, not to have some fun. DOUGAL is a good kid and as I said above, there's no hard feelings over yesterday. I really think there was a lot of hostility pinned up in a lot of people yesterday just waiting for a catylist to bring it out. A lot of hurtful things were said yesterday and I believe it's time to put it behind us. Don't be like RDA1964. If everyone really wants to put "DOS" and "NEVER ENDING STORY" to bed, then lets do it and get past this,,,NOW. We don't need BERGIE getting in here, trying to sort this out. We can police ourselves. DEAL.........

[lupo]

railroad related:
couldn't this topic absorbe or merge or take over all these small DOS related topics and posts, thus becoming a real CLASS 1 topic, and the other topics become "fallen topics"
then the guy with the most posts, or the guy with the LOUDEST posts shall kick out the starter of this topic, and he will become MODERATOR and his name will be posted in RED . . . he now has control over all the posts and than he will starting to charge everyone who even tries to READ or Edit his topic,
and there will be pages other forums filled with topics and posts by people hating the DOS just because it is a succesfull and one of the biggest topics around . . . . . . . . .

All for doing away with stars and number of posts. Was an illconsidered idea at the outset which has not matured into anything useful. That teens like them, if correct, is a telling argument for doing away with them.

If its a good idea to attract teens, how about creating a TAMR board for their use?

Randy

That's what Help us Beat FSM sounds like.

What is the big controversy over this star stuff? Look guys(and ladies) are we all not here for one thing, Advancement of the Hobby? That and Helping the young people that are starting out in model railroading.They are the ones who will pass on what they learn from us. Who cares about stars, and sign posts of however many of who posted what howmany times! Thats sounds very self-centered in a way. Thats my 2 cents worth!
