Sir, most of us on this site have had our patience streched to the limit by Missouri. Most of us have given up trying to explain anything to this person. I have attempted several efforts to try to understand his intentions (please note the post I sent him on 13 jul 2003 at 10:12:54 AM under thread titled Safty Literature). He refuses to answer the most basic question directed towards him. I believe he posts stuff just to disrupt this Forum Site.

David, bravo my friend! We have heard enough anti-rail rantings from Missouri and need no more. The pages of this forum had been very informative but have degraded due to people like Missouri, and it is time to get back to really meaty railroad issues and make this a fun forum to participate in again. Again, bravo and thanks.

Hello everyone,

In case any of you are wondering where missouri is over the weekend, I wanted to let everyone know that I've given missouri a "time out" from the site. This was soley my own doing and decision. On Monday, I'll let Erik and others know about this and we'll go from there.

I respect everyone's right to an opinion and freedom of speech. On the other hand, people also have the right to choose what they read and what they listen to. Private sites also have the right to choose what they publish on their sites. Having said that, it's my opinion that missouri has gone on long enough with the anti-railroad postings. Quoting documents and citing references out of context, the tone of his posts and the unrelenting direct accusations made against the railroad and the people who work for the railroads are some of the things that factored into my decision.

So before Monday, I would like to get some feedback from all of you regarding the actions taken against missouri. What do you think about the situation. Do you agree, disagree or feel indifferent?

Thank you,
David Voss
