I am getting sick to death of all the bitterness.

This thread is like the old days, I love it.

Now just a little ribbing for Bravado :)

and now for the thoughts.

when I first came here in 01, yep its been that long.

I loved the guys being guys ribbing & busting without malice, just old fashioned fun. Kind of what I grew up on.
Then it changed a little but some of us stayed and rode out the storm. As some have said there is a ebb and flow to this living breathing forum, if you let the negativity get to you at the bottom it will keep you there.

I think those that have rode along remember what & why we are here, fun, family & knives.
I know some may say, well you are here because of your sheath making business.
I hope those that know me, and those who do not, know I would be here even if I did not make sheaths, I actually use a fair amount of my Busse's Rat's & Dogs,& love the forum, and most that are here .

Lets have fun & do not take it so seriously.

Hugs & Kisses from the big guy from AZ

It seems to be an epidemic. I have been a member on 1911Forums for about a year, and it is one of the most tightly and well moderated forums around. However, there has been a noticable decline in the civility level over there from when I started.

Re-reading your copy is your friend! For every two posts I make on all the forums I frequent, I probably pass on posting at least one draft after reading and thinking about it. Part of the problem is that readers cannot always discern from printed text the intent of the words, the spirit in which things are said. Printed words cannot convey the same messages that your demeanor, your inflections, your emphasis can when speaking face to face.

I have found that I have a kind of subtle sense of humor that is too often taken dead seriously by someone reading my posts, so I don't do much of it any more. My friends and I (as do many of you) engage in a kind of banter which none of us take seriously, but which evesdroppers might perceive as insulting. This cannot successfully be done with the written word except between friends. Also, depending upon our personalities and moods, we sometimes fail to give others, especially those we do not know, the benefit of the doubt.

I have found that the safest way to have fun on the forums is to poke a little fun at yourself, as per my recent "Happiness is..." post. There is something seriously wrong with someone who is incapable of laughing at his own foibles.

What if you are like me and have NO foibles :D

What do you laugh at then hm......???:D:D:D
 
I'm new to this forum, but not new to the internet or getting hyped up and buying things but just my observation...

A LOT of regulars on these forums appear to have what my friend calls FOMO. Fear of Missing Out.

It can lead to unsound minds and unsound methods.
