Something I have noticed here, there are a handful of guys that DO and a Metric Ton that SAY. People pulling peoples chains. Threads that go on forever about nothing. Threads that start with good intentions that turn to nothing but attacks. My take on this is! A) there are a lot of people on here just to kill time and really have nothing of value to add. B) The guys that do have positive things to add are all for the most part Alpha Males. And well Alpha Males don't mix very well. C) Last is the very small minority those that have positive things to add and can take or handle a different way or idea. Those that may or may not be Alpha Males but are ok with themselves enough that they don't get bent by the likes of Stick or add in whoever else. D) I almost forgot there is one more and dam it is a tiny group. I call them the hit and run guys! They post up great threads or responses and they leave. One that comes to mind is ScenarShooter. He always has awesome content and I have NEVER seen him get sucked into any of the BS. Anyways Like sands through the hourglass so are the days of the Campfire!

Reminds me of Psych 101 in college. Slept through that too.
We pray our sights be straight and our aim be true We pray for no pain to the game we pursue We thank you Lord for this land We thank you for the sights from our stands We pray for safety, one and all We pray we may return next fall

This isn't a knitting forum.

I sorta have most figured out here.
I knew the instigators
I know the fan boys
I know the guys I like
I know the guys I am on the fence on
I know the guys that really have things of interest to me
I know for the most part who to ask for answers I need
The rest well they make me laugh at least

Cuz if we're goin to a rating system I'm pretty sure I'm a good solid 4 outa 10 in all categories. That's all I'm sayin.

Every gathering has dickheads. Some of your friends may be other people's dickheads.
And then ya gotta figure that the dickheads flock together.
Even Deflave has friends.
About any thread he starts is a dickhead magnet.
But what ya gonna do?
A certain percentage of the human race is dickheads.
You cain't go jumpin' offa bridge about it.
