After what happened today I don’t feel welcome here so I’ve decided to quit the forums. It’s not everybodys fault but when people talk to me like that I feel better leaving than heard more of it. I will still check here and maybe post a LITTLE bit. I’l come back if I get enough good feedback.

Dougal, Hang in there, kid! Hard to know what happened, however I would guess one of the Crotchity old guys flamed you. Put your head down and keep on truckin’! If you have been wronged, ask for an appology. It may be the person has no idea he came off looking so brash!

This is what it’s all about.

Yeah dougal, I kind of posted a rather harsh remark over in the Help us beat FSM topic. I’m sorry if it was too harsh. Well, it’s sad to see you go. I always enjoyed seeing your little AS&N trains in your sig, and hearing about your railfanning trips. I hope you drop by once in a while.
We’ll miss ya,

Please dont quit. its nice to have some young blood here (so i dont fell too alone). ive read a lot of possitive replies youve been giving one the threads, keep it going. and as for whoevers been bothering you, through on those blinders and keep steaming ahead.
YOU’RE LAUGHING??? [:0][:0][:0][:0][:0][:0][:0][:0][:(!][V]
Come on, folks, any time anyone posts a message saying they’re going to leave an internet bulletin board, they never do.
They either come right back after being told “Oh, don’t go,” or they change user names and come back anyway.
People who actually leave just do it. They don’t announce it.
Well evidently I missed that whole thing. I can be alittle hot headed my self but this is a forum for knowledge not a means of attacking each other. There are more important things to worry about. The whole reason I missed that posting is that I had no access to the internet. I had an electrical fire at my house which made the building inspector shut off the power and gas to my house. I was not able to get the power turned back on until I got everything back up to code. So I did, It took me four weeks and $3000 to get back in my house. After all this I’ve come to realize that my home meant much more to me than I thought. I look at the forum like alot of things, differently now. I now enjoy this place alot more. Just remember people we are a little community here. Some are hot headed some are quiet and some are loud and brash.
So quit then. No one can stop you. I read the post and can understand some of ALL of what was said. BUT I thought some of the responses were childish from some of you. Good grief, life is short people we never know when our number is up. So play trains and lay track and let’s remember those values we were taught.
only MY opinion,

Let’s all take a step back for a second and remember that this is just the internet…and then move on.[;)]
if anyone on here is acting childish it is you DAVE9999!!!
and i am with dougal
So does that mean you’re leaving too?
not for ever.
We all get yelled at sometimes, but CNWfan5525 and dougal are right, there’s no need for calling people names, making fun of, etc. Let’s just all go back to RR talk.
IS THAT OK WITH EVERYONE!!!
Dougal,
You ought to reconsider. If you run away from something as trivial as a disagreement on this forum, you’re apt to run from many things in life.
As for the ‘DOS’ topic, I think it’s harmless fun. Why anyone would be upset over the funny, sometimes goofy (yet ultimately hilarious) replies that topic has generated is beyond comprehension. Where is it written that you can’t have a bit of good humor via the forums, while also getting an education with topics of a more serious nature? To devalue the existence of one topic over another is rather childish.
I believe Trainjunky29 had it right when he wrote about simply not posting (or even reading!) a topic that holds little if any interest to you. How obvious that should be for all of us.
Come on back, Dougal. You’ve just as much right to be here as the next person.
yes, so…when a DC is heading an AC, can the DC get burnt out when the AC quits?
Ah. For how long, then?
not sure. this is the last post till i decide to come back
So this is the final one, then?
[banghead][sigh][:-^]
Will you all just please stop with the flames? Enough is enough! You’re in danger of becoming the very thing you’re complaining about.
Thank you!
You know, the real irony here is, that is exactly what some of us were saying–“Let’s talk RR’s, not random crap,”–and we were shouted down by people saying, “Let the kids play.”
