<p>[quote user="schlimm"]</p> <p>[quote user="Sam1"]</p> <p>[quote user="schlimm"]</p> <p>Cmnstp's s comment was obviously a mildly sarcastic joke but sam1 chose to engage in name calling, Perhaps folks need a thicker skin and a better sense of humor around here? [/quote]</p> <p>I did not take it as a mildly sarcastic joke. I took it as a hidden agenda that the author is yet to answer, other than to offer another trite comeback. You can afford to claim that I am being overly sensitive. The comment was not directed at you. And by the way, who asked you to weigh into the issue? What business is if of yours?</p> <p>People posting to these forums should confine their comments to rail issues. Personal comments and ill attempts at jokes, which never fly very well in the internet world, should not be part of any posting.</p> <p>My reference to ignorant behavior is just that. If you want to categorize it as name calling, that is your choice, although as I said, it is none of your business. If people don't want a push back from me, comments should be kept to the subject at hand. Personal comments and observations are out-of-bounds, but throw one at me, and I will throw it right back at you. Or anyone else.</p> <div style="clear:both;">[/quote]</div> <p>I would suggest you take your own medicine then. All participants are permitted to comment on any post, even those apparently directed at others, whether in r jest or anger. I notice you didn't tell mac when he "weigh into the issue" that his comment was" none of his business." And who appointed you to be the moderator? If you think someone is launching a personal attack at you, you are supposed to report the abuse to the moderators, not "flame" at another member. [/quote]</p> <p>Commenting on an rail related issue is vastly different than commenting on a snide remark. The remark was directed at me. You have no business interpreting what was an obvious slam. How it struck you is irrelevant regarding how I interpreted the comment. Stick to the subject matter of these forums!</p> <p>I am keenly waiting for the original commentator to tell me his agenda. Inasmuch as the moderator is reading these posts, he or she already knows that I am not a happy camper.</p> <p> </p>
