Twice in my tenure here I had posts deleted. I received a pleasant PM from the moderator explaining why. Once it was due to a potentially incendiary topic and once was a simple error on my part. Both times I appreciated the heads up and thanked the moderator.

I saw that thread. But it did not get me going like someone feeling that they have the right to add to data that is spread around the Internet just because someone else does. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
I saw the icon before thread was posted. But sat back figuring that someone else would say something. I should have hit the moderator button when first noticed. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
I thought about posting a reply to the thread sending the offending poster to this thread. But figured it would do no good. But that people reading this thread would care.

I have been here many year and have posted a few times. One post has been deleted and like you the moderator was very cordial in the PM. I have to agree that the cartoon posted, while funny. Did not meet the family standards for TBN.

I'll throw in my two cents here. In the last 2-3 months there have been several posts that I have taken the time to write, but not posted because of concern about backlash from "fan boys". Particular individuals view anything that I write as being from the devil himself. I have a bias, but I don't hide that and I like to think that I make pretty objective points. I think you have a problem when some of your most educated posters are wary about partisipating.

As for PM's, if it where up to me I'd say just disable them all together. Than those who feel that they need to make scathing remarks have to do it in a forum where they can be held accountable for what they say.

This may be considered a bit drastic, but in another forum that I belong to similar things were happening. The offending PM's were cut and pasted into the forum by the receiving party. Of course the sender of the PM was upset to say the least that he'd been 'exposed'....but guess what....the PM's stopped....what a suprise. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

A guaranteed way to get moderated! Better to send any offending PMs to Muhammad or any of the moderators via PM.

Maybe some people need a public stoning?

Maybe some people can spew venom one day and play nice the next? And then pretend to play nice again and think all is forgiven? And at the same time, maybe that guy can stir up trouble against yet another member by sending information to someone that that member had some problems with?

I am reminded of the story about the scorpian and the frog at the side of the stream. The scorpian want to get to the other side, so he asks the frog for a ride. The frog says that the scorpian will sting him and kill him, but the scorpian says no, if he does that then he will drown too. So the frog relents and gives the scorpian a ride and 1/2 way across the stream the frog feels a sting on his back. He says to the scorpian "why did you do that, surely we will both die now?" and the scorpian says, "because I am a scorpian, it is what I do."

Everybody is biased, not a thing wrong with it. I appreciate information on all brands and sure don't mind constructive criticism of my brand either. Let the whiners whine, I'm interested in what you have to say. Seems like I remember something about "unprotected" hydraulic lines getting somebody's BP up, well, on a CK 30 it's true, not a thing wrong with pointing that out, so an owner can watch out or add protection if needed.

I believe my Century's FEL Hydro lines are unprotected too. I didn't see a problem with calling them that either.
