"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.

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.

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. |

You and I are almost polar opposites politically. That said I am not sure there is anyone on the board I like speaking with or spending time with than you, Barry. We all want the same things, it just getting there that differs. And I agree, Steve (hi Steve) needs to take some time for himself, and his family, with respect to his Dad's passing. Hopefully it is only a short time before he comes back.

Thanks Leon, and the feeling is mutual. Sure, I'm not happy about what's going on today, but I try to be reasonable too. What I've come to realize is it's not about me. It's about what the majority wanted. So I have to learn to accept it, despite struggling every day. What makes me happy is getting along with those who have different opinions than mine. Shouting at people is a waste of time.
