Well, I have been gone a few years (spent time partially paralyzed and few
other minor impediments) but when I come back nothing has changed.
Yeah, Tom headed off into the distance. He sure did like to argue. What made
those arguing with him go ballistic is he is often/mostly right on technical
subjects. He just did not have the ability to shrug, decide the other guy was
an idiot and let it go.
What I do notice about leavers is they seem to feel sorry for themselves, feel
they are abused, yadda yadda. Unless you have the stature of a Tom you won't
even be mentioned by two weeks from now so feeling Noble is a waste of emotion.
I participate in a few forums, ham antennas, contesting, boating, aircraft,
photography, farming, astronomy, etc. I have lots of hobbies - remember, he who
dies with the most wins.. I can tell you from long long experience that to be
in any hobby forum you need to grow a thick skin. If someone really irritates
you, don't read him.
If you have had your say and he keeps coming back at you and digging, just drop
it. Refuse to post any further on the topic. If you can't control yourself then
block the thread. Let him declare victory, hold a parade, and sail for home.
That is how the self declared winners of any war end it.In my case I don't know
what the hoo-haa over millennials (whatever the hell they are) is about, don't
care, don't want to know, and not gonna look up the thread. See, I don't have
any stress
(I cause it)
To the OP on this issue, I urge you to stick around because I like to see any
and all opinions - but if not, don't let the door knob do ya.And NO, I will not
be looking back at this thread to see a reply. I have had my say and that's it.
Ciao,Look for me on topband in 4 to 6 weeks when I get the soybeans combined
and the broken antenna junk patched up (wow is it wrecked after 8 years) I'm CW
though.
