Introducing some new concepts:
1) Parasite Fish - People who follow all your posts for the reason of instigating you or harassing your credibility.
Some of us have em, some of us know what it's like.
2) hijack Nipple Suckers: people who sale on the coat tales of your idea and thus develop their own theories because of it and derail the thread into degraded dust.
3) Thumb Sucker: post immature comments as Smoke says "play ground" stuff.
4) Grown Man Soap Opera - zx14forums need I say more...
We have all attracted or contributed to one of these four theoretoric (theory rhetoric) positions...not claiming innocence.
Jealousy over relationships, ego's, money making, integrity protecting, passion and disagreement right fighters, drive this site into the rabbit hole.
If the standard is information sharing and learning (which we have here), personal respect and constructive critique should be the focus. Not preaching seeing the theme of the majority of these posts.
That's why things are imploding.
I am going to make an effort to not be numero 1 - 4.
I'm offering an objective observation.
Here are some facts...
Hub can switch alias and return, he can choose to leave. Something tells me Hub does not care, nor is this going to dent his mantle. He is a mature adult, me thinks he will look for the opportunity in the obstacle. Second I myself have posted stuff that was not exactly within the guidelines. Looking at it I feel a bit embarrassed by it.
Going forward we police ourselves. If we are unhappy about our involvement here we can choose to leave. We can choose to read only and surf this site as a resource treasure chest.
I love this site. Some amazing cats here! I don't always agree with everyone, but I respect them for their efforts to contribute here. If we policed ourselves to not side track threads, make good constructive critiques, laid out respect instead of insult, we would elevate this site to a new level. I for one am willing to try! This situation cause me to look at myself.
Let fool hardy threads be such, let's not hijack thumb suck, nipple suck or parasite fish. Let's continue to be men.
I am expecting many tomatoes but this post is from the heart.
