No real 'offense' taken, but just that we seem to get along here pretty well without that, and I'll be proud to help 'bringing' you up some more, if I can. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You're out of the classroom here and in a neighborhood now that communicates well without it. Thanks for the ****raise. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

From the FAQ, Section 'What Are the forum rules?'

The TractorByNet.com forum members must adhere to basic practices of common courtesy. In general, posts should not contain any offensive language, profanity,...

( I'm delighted to see a lot of different ideas surfacing here and all without argument. Maybe we could all learn something from the friendly exchange of ideas that this thread has generated so far........

EDIT: I guess the first part of my post was amusing to some as I have since been informed that threatening PMs are still being sent to certain members in the background. )

Mike,

This bunch here at TBN can indeed carry on the friendly exchange of ideas. No matter where you go, you'll always have that 10% who like to stir the puddin'. Just ignore them. Trust me, this is an extremely polite forum and we are all free to choose our responses. Key word: Choice.

To all the veterans & old timers:

Y'all have entirely too much knowledge and experience to just leave the forum and all the friends you have made over the years because some wise acre posts a snarky comment. Stop and think about all the guys you all have helped make a sound purchase, or who you helped get through a difficult project and even those members who ask for and recieve your prayers to help them through some life trial or other. That stuff matters guys! Don't walk away from that.

I've participated in several forums and this is easily the best bunch of down to earth guys I've ever come across on the internet. Don't let the 10% negative obscure the 90% positive. Remember, we each have total control over how we choose to respond.

Maybe I'm having a bad day. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
But I find this thread an example of the type of stuff that some old timers and others are fed up with. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif Click Here

Here's one of my gripes. It really would be nice if the moderators would notify the members before, during or after the fact when they are going to change posts. But they don't. There has been some good things that happened here but ........I'm done. Bye

It really would be nice if the moderators would notify the members before, during or after the fact when they are going to change posts. 
It depends what the change is for. If it's profanity (real OR masked), no notification is sent.

Any other change, e.g., removing inline images, notification (what was changed and why) is made directly in the post(s) that are changed.

Vilfredo Pareto a nice Italian gentleman....

beenthere - I'm still here - just not as active as I used to be. I've got a baby due in less than one week and an investment property that I'm trying to finish re-habbing. Doesn't leave much tractor time... I've only used the loader once all summer - I have been mowing the lawn though...

Oh for goodness sake, It's a joke, the only person who sees it is the individual that it belongs to. And for Junkman to make a song about is even a bigger joke for he plays more pranks than anyone.

Ron, how about checking out another thread on TBN. It is essentially the same thread as we have running here. The only difference is that they guys who are posting in that thread don't come to this part of TBN, and for the most part the guys who posted in this thread don't seem to frequent that part of TBN. But is simply proves Johnday's point. There are idiots all over TBN who are running over decent people.
