I doubt it was anyone from here but incase it was someone posted some bad remarks about my layout in the guest book on my site. This will NOT be tolerated. I have deleted the entry and I hope they do not do it again!!!
Adam, there’s plenty jerks out there my friend. That’s what I like most about this forum, everyone seems to express some common decency. BTW, your layout is awesome and jerks are best ignored.
Don’t let it bother you some do it to be a smart @#$ others just cause there jelous of what others can do and they can’t . Just keep on trucking or should I say just keep steaming ahead
Adam,Get use to it…You see there are jerks that like to do such things just to see how somebody will react and all to sadly you played into their hands by reacting by posting a reaction to his/her childish comments.So,the low life gets his laugh.
Sorry to hear you were the victim of a hit-and-run [B)] on the information superhighway. [V][V][V]
The sad thing is that some folks are just bullies and a[censored]oles [:(!] and are so miserable that the only thing they take pleasure in is bringing other people down, especially when they are nice guys like you. The best thing you can do when encountering sadistic jerks [}:)] like that is to ignore them when they cross you and stay clear of them in the future if you can.
Hopefully you can take solace in the encouragement and support of your friends here on the forum. BTW-Your layout looks GREAT, and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise! I for one am really enjoying watching the progess you’ve made on it over the summer. Keep up the good work!
Others here have pretty much said it all. Treat such behavior as water off a duck’s back, and just ignore the less-civil in our society who are simply insecure and unhappy. Count your blessings that you’re not one of them!
I’m guessing that the joker who left that flame did so out of sheer envy - he probably couldn’t hope to ever build a layout like yours himself and he knows it!
He might not even have a layout and is just jealous of yours.
Like Allan said, ignore him.
And remember, you can be the one to help and encourage others by giving them a compliment. You can help build others up, or tear them down, the choice is yours.
I have an idea you have learned some things from this and can use it as you continue in to live. Don’t let one bad apple spoil your day or your life.
You have and are learning some good skills are you continue your layout. Continue to grow in skill and don’t let the naysayers bother you.
Like everyone else has said: There are way too many jerks in this world. Personally, I think the layout looks great! I especially like the picture of the B&O in your signature.
Rude and it had to be inacurate. Your’s is some of the best work here. The diorama of the car waiting for the steam engine to pass is one of my favoriets. Your layout is coming along fine. Trust me it looks much better than mine.
I know there are some forums that thrive on finding other forums and guestbooks and do some nasty things just to get a rise, almost like Internet gangs roaming the big WWW. You may want to if you can have the guestbook have sometype of moderator feature turned on. I myself when I used to be in the web dev business usually discouraged having guestbooks for that very reason.
I recently saw a clip on TV where Arnold Swartzeneggar (probably not spelled right, but you know who I mean) was nailed in the shoulder with an egg while walking through a crowd of people.
He brushed it off so quickly, without a hesitation. You almost couldn’t even tell it happened. He was smiling when it hit him, and his smile didn’t falter at all as he brushed it off. The guy knows how to deal with the public - love him or hate him.
When opening yourself up to the public, etc., these are the things we have to deal with. Sad, but true.
(sorry man, I know you requested no more posts, but there were a couple more anyway, and I thought you’d enjoy my story, whether you’re an Arnold Fan or not).
I think we’re undergoing this huge psychological experiment in this world because of the internet. People are growing up able to communicate with and say anything to anybody. It’s pretty crazy.
