Yes, but…
It is truly ironic that the biggest whiners about the Bucyrus posts are able to get away with posting drivel, over and over, with total equanimity and no fear of negative consequences by the moderators. These posts are so stupid that, if there were impartiality on these forums, this group of posters should be banned for one month, minimum. But I am sure that aint gonna happen and probably this post will be removed instead as “offensive.”
Not nearly as ironic as the fact the biggest supporter of the one who shall remain nameless posting drivel over and over now finds fault with someone else doing it, and wants to have fellow members banned. What’s next- suggesting that this thread needs to be locked? A wise man on the forum recently said that if posts like this upset you, perhaps you should not read them. That wise man was you…How ironic…[:-^]
Norm48327- I hope you get your stars back. If not, you can have mine.
Yes but…
Like the Grandfather in the Dish Network commercials: “BINGO!!!”
Oh… And getting back to the thread itself…I am a 5-star “Super Contributor!”
Eleanor Roosevelt would be proud.
Ain’t no big fat hairy deal. I was just wondering where they went.
I sure didn’t intend to start a flame war.
Try getting your facts straight. I was hardly one of Bucyrus’ biggest supporters. I was critical, without getting into personal attacks, as at least one person was But at least his merry-go-round of posts had something to do with railroads, specifically some issues that are not at all settled about setting brakes, etc. This recent torrent of posts you and some others have made of late have nothing to do with railroading. They are totally off topic, something you as a one-time moderator should know. It is easy to ignore a thread when one knows it is about a topic (labeled as such) that one knows is boring. But when a thread is supposed to be about the disappearing thread count, but has turned into a childish bunch of off-topic mini-rants, it only becomes clear after checking.
Fair enough, I guess. You’re right. Enough of this silly talk.It’s time for this thread to get back to the serious railroad talk about disappearing stars.[][][][][*]
Schlimm, do you need a hug?
Supermod Schlimm to the rescue!!!
Seriously, this is a silly post about a silly topic (the disappearance of the silly stars for some). I really don’t care about the stars. I am perfectly fine without them. Lighten up a little - you’ll have more fun.
Schlimm obviously forgot to follow his own advice about ignoring threads he did not like.
I have zero stars. I must not exist.
But then again, as a wise man once said: I derail threads, therefore I am.
What I am is up to debate.
I think, therefore I am.
I think I think, therefore I think I am.
I think I am not, therefore {poof}
That, and a Snickers, because……
We can’t take your advice seriously Ed. You have no stars. You are starless. You are without stars. You have vacancies in your star profile. Your stars have marked off.
We are the unstarred. We hide in the shadows. Women and children run in fear of us. Men cross the street when they see us coming.
Wait a second, Schlimm,
You couldn’t tell from the title that this post was going to be full of…what’s the word I am looking for?
Oh yeah, inane…full of inane drivel that was not about anything close to serious like handbrakes?
And I haven’t seen any rants in this thread, just a little ribbing going on….that and some tongue in cheek humor.
Starless, and darn proud of it!
