[quote user="Tharmeni"] I think the forum is endangered -- and I believe it's because there are more negative posters out there who seem to lay in wait to "ambush" the topic of a poster. If you doubt me, please read the thread "Another Very Late Amtrak Today" .  It's a legitimate topic, but poster Mr Runyon's only contribution was to criticize it. When I called him on it, he took off after me.  Which I found sad, frankly. If my son, a budding railfan, was to post "What's the difference between a GP-7 and a GP-9?", I suppose some would jump all over him for asking a stupid or basic question.  But we need all postings.  Even the basic ones. That's how we grow, folks. How about a moratorium on negative postings?  That way, we would encourage others to join in without the danger of being cut apart.     [/quote]   Tharmani appears to be speaking out of both sides of his mouth. Case in point:  Refer to how he jumped on a posted on 23 July at 4:31 AM: "Re: RE: RE: Breaking, Breaking News about Amtrak Cuts on Monday July 3, 2006. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really sick of this post. Conrailman, if you are so fact-based, how did you post, way ,way back that these cuts were "coming on July 3" and then base it on an article you adamantly say was published on July 17th?  I'm really tired of this.  Others have said it before, but get the facts before you open your mouth." Hmmmm....  I don't know about you guys, but it appears that  Tharmani was criticizing a fellow poster. Just thought I'd point that out.
