OT Crabby?

Man, everyone sure has their undies in a bundle the last few days. Name calling, insults etc. The way I see it why can't anyone just disagree without the abuse? Crybaby abundant, Right wing toothless gun toters, etc. I have a friend who is a former assemblyman that is as nnalert as they come, do I agree with him all the time, no. I also have a friend who is as abundant a nnalert as they get, do i agree with her all the time, no. But they are still good friends, makes for some spirited conversation. We are all here because we have something in common, old tractors, that doesn't mean we have to have everything in common. Come on folks, LIGHTEN UP!! Ok everyone let the abuse fly over this, I can take it and I still won't hate you. :>)

I agree. Probably 99% of us aren't happy with the current situation, but I choose to stay out of it on here, it gives me a headache. Instead, I chose to write my elected officials my opinions, it does more good than griping on here. Spring is coming soon, everyone can get outside and get rid of the cabin fever.

Well put cj. The way you worded it didn't seem to threatening. I cant see you catching to much flack over that. Spoke your mind w/out stepping on any toes. See, that wasn't to bad was it? Hahaha.

Its just that time of year. As spring moves north and more and more folks are able to get some seat time in things will get better. Cabin fever has lasted longer this year than most but as soon as every one gets some sun in their face and some garden planted we will all play nice again.

One of the things that really upsets me is to ask a question about something that I am truely ignorant about,( I'm an underground miner, not a farmer) because I want to keep my 2N running well, and get a sarcastic reply from someone who is knowledgable to the point of smugness. This I don't appreciate and will turn my away from this site.

There wasn't much of it here for a week or so. To tell the truth,that got kind of dull. I was going over to Tractor Tales looking for some of it.

Richard, you have to ignore the smugness and use the info. We're all ignorant when we get out of our own little comfort zone. If you set me out in New York City, I'd be helpless.

Remember the saying, "Give a man a little authority, and he'll show you how much class he has"? You can change the word "authority" to "information" and the saying still applies. . .

Hang in there - we'll need to know something about mining, and you can give us the answer.

What's not to like? You can't find this kind of entertainment for any kind of money and on 'here', it's free!!!

Combination of spring and cabin fever.
There are those that if spoken to briefly directly and to the point. Without all flowers, ribbons, bows and kisses with just the facts. They sometimes get turned off.
Best writer and most knowledgeable fellow I ever seen here was Clooney.
Unfortunately even his near Superhuman reserves of strength and endurance were exhausted. By those asking questions that an ounce of common sense and five minutes with a service manual could solve.

Got a lot of folks out there that are getting all blustery about how many guns and how much ammo they're stockpiling for the coming lib-Nazi takeover. So who do you think the authorities will target...the guy who's doing the same, but keeping his mouth shut about it, or the guy who's announcing it to the world as loud and as long as he can?

And of the two above, who's gonna catch the authorities by surprise, should that day come?
