Steve,

From a nobody here, I've always thought your posts were well thought and informative. Very sorry to hear about your father. Like Leon said, may he RIP. I hope you reconsider and stay on the boards as you're not one of the problem children here.

My condolences...I know how hard it is to lose someone you love, especially unexpectedly. Hope you can find solace in the memories of the time you had to together.

Regarding the jerks...Let it roll off your back like water on a duck. There are some here that are too set in their opinions and ways, no matter how obsolete they are, to ever see another's. I just laugh at the crotchety-ness.

I always appreciate your posts because you don't toe the company line like so many here who fear ridicule.

Steve, sorry for your loss. We've done BST transactions and they've been perfect. For what it's worth, I've always thought your posts were well thought out and informative. While I don't agree with all of them, I appreciate your contributions to this board.

Sorry to hear about you dad, lost mine unexpectedly too a few years back. I echo the sentiment of not letting a few bad apples spoil the bunch. Some will always have bullying on their agenda, but this is a place where we all share a similar esoteric hobby, and we should a little more forgiving if someone doesn't share our opinion.

sorry for your loss and how you are treated on net54 (or elsewhere if occurred somewhere else)

I too am sorry to hear about your loss, Steve. When my dad passed away almost 2 years ago...this board was an area of respite for me...similarly now as I'm caring for my ailing mom...while I'm not participating a ton...just reading the threads takes my mind off less pleasant things.

I'm sure you'll be back.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness." John Keats

May your heart find peace and may its love never pass into nothingness.

Default Condolences and prayers your way

I suspect the grief and stress of losing your father makes the words of one or more misguided stand out more. This forum is about sharing opinions and information about the hobby we love - and you do just that. I too have enjoyed reading your posts (don't recall if my opinion aligned or not - likely both). A friend taught me a long time ago - "opinions are like assholes - everyone has one" - I encourage you not to let the words of a few dissuade you from continuing to make a meaningful contribution here.

Steve, I'm so sorry to hear about your father-may he rest in peace. Although we've never met, we did just complete a deal on the B/S/T without a hitch. Enjoy your vacation, but come back soon. And hang in there.

Joe

Condolences on your dad Steve, and I was hoping to get to meet you at the Net54 dinner. Yes, you have strong opinions that are probably quite different than mine, but if you had joined us last week I bet we would have gotten along just fine.

Take a break. Dealing with the loss of your father is more important than fighting with people on a chatboard. And please come back when you are ready.
