Is the local hobby scene as bad as this board makes it seem?

Can we get a tally of everyone who's feelings were hurt?

No. That would make it easier for the bullies.

Let's just say I try not to come across as a know-it-all and I'm not afraid to let someone I disagree with have the last word.

If I thought you knew how to take yourself less seriously, I might even invite you and DG to a beer summit.

Good idea!

Do you need physically therapy or emotionally therapy?

Garnering amusement from any of this is bullying, as defined above. Implying one is lying to make themselves feel better is very harmful and unnecessary.

This isn't the dark web, this isn't 4chan. But you all sure act like it is when you go out of your way to make disparaging remarks against providers.

The argument that this site is for sharing information is exactly the reason I can't understand why this thread has reached this point. You guys claim to have it all together, so what do you get from saying the same things over and over? If it's been said once, you got your "information" out there, no? So no need for 27 pages of 6 men attacking one provider.

I'm not going to start citing the site rules but I'd like the opinion of a moderator here.

I have a lot of useful information I'd love to share here but historically, any woman I've seen on this board with an opinion gets singled out for the purposes of harm and intimidation, so it's just not worth it.

LOL, funny Lusty - you letting someone have the last word. First time that happens here will likely be a first

So a beer summit huh? Are you letting Obama rub off on you

What would you call a person who extorts people? Or makes phony tweets on Twitter about someone? I can think of a lot of appropriate names. Some would say that’s a bully. I call it something else.

To be fair, the 27 pages is a lot of men disagreeing with other men as well. The entire thing was ignited by a guy sticking up for providers in general when another guy used a derogatory term. So, providers aren't being singled out for ridicule in this thread at least. The behavior here isn't any different than most anonymous internet forums. It has been that way ever since Al Gore invented it. Some people just can't let things go and other people just aren't used to conflict I guess.

Oh please. Finding something someone said as amusing is the furthest thing from bullying.

amusing

1. pleasantly entertaining or diverting:
an amusing speaker.
2. causing laughter or mirth; humorously entertaining:
an amusing joke.

Is no one allowed to laugh anymore? At anything? What I find amusing you may not and vice versa. That is ok.

You are perfectly welcome to post your opinions here. No one is stopping you. But this is a discussion site, so people may respond and agree / disagree or challenge your opinion. Nothing wrong with that at all.

As far as it being 27 pages long - who cares. It is about the state of the hobby in Pgh. It could go on for months if people want to talk about the subject. The hobby is always changing so what is wrong talking about it. Unless you have a reason to have information suppressed. This isn't Indy's where threads that contained honest info that was unflattering to certain providers just disappeared.

You’ll have to ask our resident “consultant” and book author!
