Dutchy Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Guys, I don't know if there's bad weather, favorite TV shows cancelled, or whatever, but this board has been really depressing today. People crapping and hijacking threads.... just a really really negative vibe. Today I pondered actually taking a break, leaving tons of nice guys and friends.....that says something....even considering that....and all because of some annoying 'kids'......seriously, I'm 18 and don't think even I behave this way....let alone behind my computer monitor on an internet watch forum. In essence..... Just remember this place is supposed to be FUN, a place to relieve yourself of stress, and not the other way around (as it has done today for me). Seriously, let's get the old spirit back.... Now before people answer saying "I didn't do anything" or "I haven't noticed this", it certainly does not apply to all members here, but those who it does apply to, can relate to this by either feeling the same way......or having caused the feeling......let's stop it and let the fun back in.....please. Thanks, Floris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goochenbrau Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Im sorry if you took a lot of offense to me by my comment in your thread that your picture quality needs work. I didnt mean it as a really insulting comment, especially something worth leaving the board over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everythingape Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I agree with the dutchman, this IS a fun forum most of the time, and you just KNOW when the [censored] is about the hit the proverbial fan when you see posts about unhappy people pop up. No matter how many reassurances you give that it's not a negative post, some people will have a pissy attitude when they feel attacked, and cheap shots WILL be had. We should all run and hide in the humor section when they start talking about dealers and orders! BTW, I like the fuzzy pics, they make me feel drunk. (you know, the good kinda drunk where you have to squint to type a text message..) ..and I like being drunk, and I don't have the chance to be drunk as often as I'd like to..

Pugwash Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Great watch (and pic). Will you bring that back with you? My brother read this reply over my shoulder and said in a graven voice "No, you will not" so, unless he has a rather unfortunate nasty accident before I leave, then no.

retep Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Yes, I said ice... we're getting ice at night on the pond now. Are the 10 days summer already over? How long does a summer last in that state of yours? Or better how many months do you have no ice and snow and is the temperature above lets say 70 degrees fahrenheit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better how many months do you have no ice and snow and is the temperature above lets say 70 degrees fahrenheit 10 days of summer, I wish! Try 10 days of winter in my part of Texas and maybe 2 days of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroguy Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 My home in Seattle does not even have AC Summer is a quick but beautiful time. My home in China is on an island in the South China sea. It's still warm and my 400mm lens did a good job today. Shot taken from my master bedroom balcony.

Watchmeister Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 This is not atypical for this forum or the predecessor. It happens when people are at each others throats literally and all of a sudden multiple loops pop up from the battlers. Lo and behold, the forum has turned negative. The mistake we all make is to read them and then participate. Ever since the demise of RWG I I have tried to spend as little time as possible looking at loops which turn into personal attacks. Life is too short. I am here to learn, offer advice when appropriate and talk to my friends - period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
