SOYP catagory revisited

[Smitty37]

I know I am not liked on this site and that probably had a lot to do with it but it makes one shake their head.

I like you John! :wink:

I appreciate you trying to make this site better for us all! :good:

We all need to try to not react to posts like Bob's. He jumped all over your well-intentioned original post in an inappropriate way. Maybe he was having a bad day or some other stress had him at his limit. Dan was trying to make a valid point but then went too far using an accusatory example which is unverifiable, thus inviting a retort. A tempered response so as to not escalate the emotions is the best course. It's not giving in or being passive to be a peacekeeper. It's wisdom.

We should all remember that the personal side of interchanges like this should be taken off line and not exercised in the public forum so that others are not incited and the reason for the post is lost.

Have great day!

Sorry for the long winded explanation

I guess I'm not too certain as to how you take that as jumping all over JT....It speaks only to the idea and states why....Nothing personal at all.

Let it go.It is over with. All you naysayers lost anyway. If it wasn't me it was going to be someone else. A form of what I tried to do is being tried. Lets embrace it and move on. I know the score here. I have been here long enough.

You really should learn to post without getting personal, and accusatory JT.

Very interesting. This seems to be the most publicly personal attack in this entire thread.

Ok, enough of this please.
Two pages of back-and-forth is just about enough. Back to the subject at hand, and let's move on...
