missouri free weekend

[Anonymous]

I hate to BURST everyones bubble.. but it seems to be as missouri free a weekend as it was free food weekend at the grocery store.

Now apparently this place is Mob rule, so if you can't beat the Crowd.. Join them.

Kick his *** Dave! make sure his abuse becomes no longer apparent on this Websites forums.

there are people who bait others into an argument and there are people who look for someone to draw into them into an argument so they can get upset about something..

this is some of both.. missouri did show bias against r.rs. and he didn't care who knew it..

others who have some knowledge about r.rs. obviously got a turn-on debating the issue(s).. some prowl discussions hoping to show-off what they know and bullying others away from the topic.. i nominate detour kevin for the lifetime achievement award in this category..

it takes 2 to make an argument.. what if noone answered missouri.. what influence would he have then? which is worse, a missouri who posts half-truths about r.rs., or detour kevin, who behaves like a gorilla on steroids?

who has the chance to show more maturity and control, the goofus who posts messages that makes people angry, or the moron who responds with a unique form of terrorism?

it is not what happens to us, it is how we respond that shows the true measure of our wisdom..

missouri took cheap shots at r.rs., the workers and management.. he offended many who work in the industry and many railfans.. but really, didn't anger in replies give him what he wanted? every angry word gave him the reinforcement to keep writing.. and there were plenty of short-sighted people who itched for the chance to tell him off, pouring more gas on the fire..

telling him off gave missouri more fuel to write more, angering more people to reply to him, giving him more fuel, etc..

this was mutual combat between missouri and everyone who rose to the occasion with a '[bleep] you'
..

if i had to assign blame to one side, and there is plenty for both sides, i must choose those who replied to missouri with anger, foul language and general bad deportment..

missouri upset many people who posted replies and many more who read his messages without posting.. reading the very limited forum policy on posting messages, missouri did nothing (or very little) wrong in posting anti-r.r. messages..

the forum policy bans foul language, personal attacks, disrespect for others.. that's it..

missouri posted his beliefs and alleged reports from sources which were suspect.. but if he wants to believe this, so what? if he wants to post it, so what? nobody has a gun against their head to post an angry reply to missouri.. you don't like it, fine! post a message that says you disagree and let it go! everybody can post a message that says they disagree, and then they should all let it go!

what is the post that has had the most number of replies recently? can you take a guess? it's missouri, dudes! missouri has a zillion messages telling him how dumb he is, how wrong he is, how everyone should ignore him, blah-blah-blah! guess what, nobody ignores him, they keep writing!

know why? because they like it!! they like it like people who drive by an accident slow down to look at the bodies, the blood and the expressions on the faces of the victims, the police, etc..

would people post angry messages to missouri if they didn't want to and didn't enjoy running this guy out-of-town?? is this a trick question??

the threat to this forum is not the nutcase who posts ideas that outrage 99% of people, it's the goofballs who can't wait to lynch anyone with an idea that goes against their grain or the beliefs that they have held since they were old enough to have a belief..

missouri was nutty and weird, but he wanted to do something, and he did it.. he got hundreds upset over a truly banal topic that shouldn't have alarmed a fly from a kitchen table: do r.rs. use due care in locating and maintaining warning systems at r.r. crossings?

it wasn't missouri that sent this forum careening downhill at top speed.. he released the hand brake, but it was the people who went out-of-control and took everything as a personal insult
that brought this wreck down..

maybe it's better that missouri take the time out, as he was one person, and it's easier this way.. but this whole thing says more about those who answered missouri's posts than what missouri said that started it..

For what it's worth, I have blocked him from the entire website. While it's not 100% effective, I'm doubtful he will know how to get around the block.

If by chance he does make his way back, please let us know (in case we missed it).

Thank you all for your patience, understanding and feedback regarding this.

I know i am still a newcomer to this forum,and my opinion remains humble,but i think the site should remain clean.Like so many others have said here it is ok to disagree,but when the tone becomes vulger and abusive,they should not have the privlage of posting to the site.

Good luck, I have a feeling he will redouble his efforts, after all, it seems he has nothing but time on his hands.
But, after a little introspective zen work, I think it is for the best.
Thanks, and
Stay Frosty,

sIt eams Will Rogers was right:

"Give a man enough rope, and he'll hang himself..."

I stopped reading Misery, I mean Missouri's posts awhile ago,
but the replies sure were funny. I'll miss those.

Well, you know I am not going to pass up a chance to move my mouf....

Missouri was a problem because he didn't want a dialog. He kept a running monologue, very lengthy and not even his own words. If he would have chosen one or two sentences and expressed a viewpoint, some of us would have had a dialog with him. However, his best attribute was he could cut and paste "real purty". He didn't want to post on the forum, he only wanted to harrass anyone he could.
