Overbearing Moderation in ARP

[BACnet]

Is there truth to the rumor flying around PM's that Glenn accepted the proposal in post #16? Are those two really gone now?

There is a lot of wisdom in your words, BUT

down here , the opinion of others is fighting words if they do not mirror your own. That is what we do. Heavy handed tactics to sway an opponents beliefs or actions is survival at it's best.

Thats awesome, and I can understand being like that in general practice where that is what you have to work with.

But on a site where we are all here for a common purpose, even if it is in a part of that site where things will get heated? No sense making enemies. You might actually want the opinion or support of one of these guys sometime. And, often the most opinionated are really worthwhile to get to know.

People are just more likely to listen to you in person because they are relating to another person. Online communication is very one sided and we are all just jockeying a keyboard. In this case heavy handedness is, at best, just going to beat up your keyboard faster.

Disagreement and argument is fine and even healthy. My point is that it's probably better to not get too personal online because what you say really isn't saying anything about the person you are talking about. The less you know the other, the more true that is. Instead these things can much more likely give those reading them the wrong impression about the one saying them instead of who they are being said about.

Not exactly.

The common purpose of ARP is to escape the common purpose of those that wish to live and breath every aspect of HVAC, or talk shop as some would call it.

You should do a search of all my posts and use them as a model for living right.

You mean suicide.

How do you come to that conclusion? Everything I post is the gospel truth

Now you sound like Robo!

No soup for you!

Yes, from what truth can be gathered from a magic 8 ball.

I use Tarot Cards, I'm reading your cards right now. So far you can expect a rather long life punctuated with highs and lows

Man, that is a low blow. It made me swallow my red hots before I got to crunch them up.

Great. Now I have to go buy some red hots...

I love those things and just hadn't thought about them for a while. Those and atomic fireballs.

They cost a lot more now than they used to.

I am tired of Glenn accusing me of personal attacks and slander when I have not done so.

He wants me gone in this forum and that is obvious.

I'm just giving him an option.

If he wants me gone so bad then I will go if he goes also.

Otherwise he needs to quite his whinning to the Mods all the time and starting such fights with me like he did earlier in this post.

I did not make any comments in this post prior to him bashing me.

If he wants to ignore my comments then I understand that.

But I will continue to comment on his posts if I have a difference of opinion and will try to stay within the forum guidelines.

IMO he can dish it out but not take it.

The problem is that just because Glenn claims I have violated the rules does not make it so.

I believe Glenn's first post on this thread was generic, he did not mention you, just a "person". And actually, you weren't the first to pop into my mind, but obviously you thought so.

If I may, I believe he offered a truce to ignore but you've been going on. Maybe WE ALL need to partake in a giant chill pill here. I enjoy the reasoning of all, I don't want Glenn or you to go away. I agree with both of you sometimes, and disagree with both of you sometimes, but I do appreciate your views and your ways of thinking. In my opinion, it helps me to learn things, when I can approach issues with an open mind.
