It is dismaying how often good, reasonable threads are turned in to a septic tank. I can't blame guys for leaving this forum. The mods ought to crack down on the bs.
Like pervy old dudes bragging about how many chicks they banged 30 years ago? Those kind of good reasonable threads?
The anonymity of the internet rather than face to face interaction has emboldened trolls with a complete lack of personable accountability. Anybody with a heartbeat can go from zero in real life to hero on the internet. Then you add in sock puppetry, (how does anonymity get even more anonymous for 500 Alex), and people that run sockpuppets and should get their ass beat become loudmouth jerkoffs that run the conversation rather than sit quietly and listen from their betters.
There's a logical order to prior society where elders taught the next generation, even while the next generation resisted a little and tweeked things to their liking. But in this modern paradigm the young are held in higher regard, or allowed to disrespect their betters, running the show rather than learning from the more experienced, revering those that went before them in life.

Looks like you ate a Thesaurus...
I'll learn from anyone that has something to teach... 20 year olds have taught me EXPERT level tree grafting. Several mechanics (under 30) are the only guys that touch my four Cummins trucks.
My financial guy is in his 40s (and black)... he is a genius.
Nothing to do with age... or anything else.
Crap is crap...
Walmart sell trousers under the brand "Faded Glory"... lots of folks around here wear them I reckon.
AGAIN... TEACH ME... I am wide open to learning ANYTHING from ANYONE.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
ge'tars and drums and singing at 9am for the younger crowd.
...and 11am organ music... with no singing or participation required... and no controversy at all.
A new format, I like it, the normal folks get to post like usual in the "normal" forum and anyone that wants to be normal can log in anytime. There can be a "whiny sniveler's forum", where they can whine and snivel freely, so long as the whiner's and sniveler's are Vaccinated I don't see a problem.
