Todd, I think you have everybodys support in what you did in this situation
Ocassionally we get people who become an Arragant Bastard (AB) in their writings and it only distracts from the topic at hand. The thread becomes a matter of defending ones opinions/actions or addressing the AB and his attitude, and all constructive learning is lost. Even though I hate this when it happens, I must say thanks to every one who has ever jumped in to call an AB back to order.
We have a very friendly forum here and we welcome all who come here whether they be a wannabe, newbe, or oldtimer with thousands of flight hours. What you and a few others have found out is that we do not like postings that are arragant in nature. Nobody likes having to wade through a mountain of BS to find a pearl of wisdom, and a lot won't even try to find it.
Bill. I hope you do decide to return. You did make some good points here and there, but the problem was in the delivery. Treat everyone here with respect and they will treat you with respect. It is a simple as that. If you make your posts positive,then everyone will welcome you back. I am sure you have knowlege and experiences that can be of benefit to all here when and if you share it wisely. Consider what we are saying and you will realize we are not against you personally, just your approach.
Now that that is over I feel a little better and I think I am getting my AB under control again. Down boy down boy. Thats better!!
aaah
To every body else, We all have a little AB in us, try to keep him subdued and lets have some fun.
Shawn
