Re: I'm very sorry for the loss another good friend.

As I said on Russell thread let's keep his thread at the top of the tree. With all those supporting him he may come back to us

But it requires us supporting this by actions.

Just like the newbies thread being bumped regularly

So should the Utah beehive thread.

A snake bit Russell... Gulf hit the snake with a stick... but the snake kept hissing. Some people did not mind the hissing... I thought it was horrible and went and hid in the bushes... Now I am hoping there is a way for Russell's wound to heal so he can return.

Annie, never again hide from a snake in the bushes, then it has you just were it wants you!

Snake in the garden? Ethnic tension? Can't find Annie M's sea salt method.
What happened while I was away?

Re: I'm very sorry for the loss another good friend.

Gulf, I am not condoning or agreeing with Huskerduck, quite the opposite, but this is an open forum in the Wild, Wild West of the internets. You won't last long if you let your feelings get hurt.

Trust me, some of the boards I am on are brutal and 100% unmoderated. I like those boards, because you are what you post, nothing more nothing less. You get from a forum what you are willing to give, but any time you ARE willing to give, you have to accept that you will not always be appreciated, and will have to suffer the abuse of idiots and hit and run posters.

I am not a big fan of "post counts", but I do think it is an indicator of who you should allow yourself to be bothered by.

Re: I'm very sorry for the loss another good friend.

People come and go.......In no case should anyone posting on a forum take anything other than a direct personal attack, well, personally. It isn't.

Another perspective.


Forums are different things to different people. A place to find a solution. A place to expand their knowledge base. A place to share what they know. A place to show what they do. A place to pass the time...like a book or TV does. A place to socialize. Maybe it's all of the above and more.

The personalities are as varied as the content that is posted. Some play well with others. Others don't. Some ease into a forum. Some barge in. Even though it's text on a page, it's real personalities, even if it's not a true representation of them in the flesh. Some can take a joke and laugh it off. Others come out swinging.

A forum is just a forum to some. Obviously, it means more to others. I belong quite a few forums, like Tom, since the 90's. Unlike Tom, I don't post often in most of them. Why? Because of the personalities in the forum. It's hard to come across the right way in text sometimes....it doesn't always convey the right emotion. Sometimes we rub somebody the wrong way. What happens after varies with the participants. Sometimes it escalates. Sometimes it resolves. Some get banned. Others work it out. Some stay. Others go.

What's a personal attack, besides straight up name calling? That depends on the different people and thier perspective.....what's said and how they say it. How people act or what they say doesn't matter to some. To others, it does.

Maybe this is all an obvious observation.....but in the end, we are all here for different reasons. And when it starts making sense for someone to stop contributing or visiting a forum, then there is no right or wrong if that's a personal decision.....it's thier perspective.

Re: I'm very sorry for the loss another good friend.

It is, really. I am a member of quite a few, even moderate one here and there, and have since the mid-nineties. Being conservative, I have over 50,000 posts between them, and I do not post often on any of them.

People come and go. People help the forum, people hurt the forum, but 98% do neither, they just surf the forum. In no case should anyone posting on a forum take anything other than a direct personal attack, well, personally. It isn't.

Tom,
I'm glad that Forno Bravo, ain't just "any other forum".

just sayin'

[Tscarborough]

Re: I'm very sorry for the loss another good friend.

Yes, I never saw anything that would have been moderated on any other forum, even very strict ones. The best policy for internet forums is not to allow yourself to be offended, especially if nothing has been directed to your person.

And now back to the game of building ovens, new innovations, assisting those that need it more importantly want it.

Yay

Russell please reconsider your knowledge and skill sold not be lost to this forum.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: I'm very sorry for the loss another good friend.

I have and will bow completely out of this forum except to reply to the one guys thread I helped out getting his pictures up and he called me the Bomb! at least I could help out one person here so my work is done

Best of luck to you and your build....

Re: I'm very sorry for the loss another good friend.

" G'day huskerduck
I'm taking total responsibility for personally attacking you and reponsibility for my anger. In public and with no excuses.
I Apologize totally"

Regards dave

Yes the apology still stands....publicly and with no excuses.
Yes the deletion of posts further adds to the level of confusion and frustration

Regards dave

Re: I'm very sorry for the loss another good friend.

And there ya go, If I missed anything in anyones posts you can reply here because when you delete posts they don't show up as deleted fast enough for me and have tried double deleting like 3 times now. I'll wait until tomorrow and wipe the forum clean, it's not raining for a few minutes today and with 60 MPH winds maybe I can get this stupid oven coated with a protective shell, it's been real, and it's been fun but............

Re: I'm very sorry for the loss another good friend.

I saw it originally and didn't think twice about it, and then couldn't find it later when it became an issue. Ah well, Russel is a good guy, maybe he will come back.

It would be nice if he would, honestly I have and will bow completely out of this forum except to reply to the one guys thread I helped out getting his pictures up and he called me the Bomb! at least I could help out one person here so my work is done.

In all honesty I would hope Beehive was on my side about my feelings because they are geared directly at the misfortunes of an ethnic group , As I stated more than once this has zero to do with ethnic and everything to do with ethics. He can comeback and have fun with his friends and I will stay far away. I will even delete all cookies and posts after this and never return again and you all can return to being one happy family! I will say I found an awesome place that sells Peels, brooms, cutters of every size and shape and was floored walking through their entire block of 4 levels of new and used restaurant goodies, I walked out of there with five peels of different dimensions up to 18" and cutter and serving trays and cooling trays and etc. etc. I should have snapped a pic of the Pizza isle which was 10' tall by 40' long stuffed full. If in the Portland Oregon area the place is called Roses on Clay st. you have to go get lost in there it's amazing, we actually got lost several times amongst the millions of restaurant supplies. We spent $192 and I couldn't believe how stuffed our vehicle was with Pizza toys
