When I saw the screed (before breakfast) I did not think it worthwhile to even start reading it. Seeing Ed's response I glanced through it, and came to the decision that it could be condensed: "MOMMIE! these people are not nice to me .

I'll second those sentiments.

NorthWest zugmann No, not really. I'd guess that if it gets to be too much trouble, then we can most likely expect the host to pull the plug on the whole damned thing. It's pretty obvious that the forums are not a main focus of Kalmbach, and I doubt they want to devote much (any) time to it. +1. We may be on thinner ice than we want to think. (Firelock, Broadway Lion and Sir Madog are alive and well on the MR forum. You can see what they are doing over there.)

Oh, I know they're over there, the thing is I want 'em back over HERE!
Seriously, not being an HO or N gauge guy I very rarely look into the MR site, once in a great while out of curiousity, but that's all.
Me? I'm an O gauger! Big, smokin' roarin', shake the house to the foundation O gauge, the grandest of all gauges! So I do spend a bit of time on the "Classic Toy Trains" Forum. Interesting and lots of fun, you should all give it a look even if you're not into toy trains. The "Classic Trains" site is worth a good look too.
As a matter of fact CTT staffers Bob Keller and Roger Carp pop into the CTT Forum from time to time offering insights and advice. "Trains" staffers should follow their example, if for nothing more than gaining some insights as to what's going on at ground level, what readers are thinking and what they're interested in. They might even get some story ideas.

You are over here quite a bit, at least when we discuss aircraft!!
Ah, you caught me during one of my "curiousity" visits when I suggested 1/72 aircraft models as a "close enough" match for HO layouts. I believe I also suggested 1/72 military miniature figurines for those doing wartime layouts as another "close enough", considering the darn near absence of same in HO's 1/87 scale.
I've tried finding 1/48 scale miltary stuff for my O gauge layout. Man, THAT'S tough!
And now this thread, eveyone who's posted in it, and his condition of hurt feelings will be reported to the moderators.
I had prepared a post about how both sides involved are at fault here, but that will just fan the fire and possibly attract trolls. Better to not get involved.
I will leave it at that this:
It is simply sad that because individuals can't think before they post, we have lost people who reguarly posted, were valuable sources of information, and always led an interesting and worthwhile discussion.
Firelock, I second your pain in not seeing people such as Juniatha post over here as often, or who have stopped posting altogether. I miss my early days on this forum when I could get online and read a thread about calculating axel loading vs. horsepower and cylinder loadings, ect. There was much to discuss, and even more to learn! Oh, how I wish they would come back!
Today is today. Yesterday was yesterday. Never will they meet.
Posters come, posters go - their reasons, their life.
Personally I get tired of Drama Queens.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
The troll will be removed in short order. Locking this one as it has zero railroad content.
