        Who am I to argue with that?
        I could enjoy a daily whipping myself Andy but will they wear black leathers with nice chrome studs?

          There are all types. I'm not 100% sure who we are referring to here, but I have the following to say:

          You may not like all of the posts. In fact, it is almost guaranteed that you won't. But, I ask a lot of questions that may seem meaningless to others, however there are meaningful to me.

          There are several members that have quit coming to the OSE site all together because of hostility. This is what saddens me. Of course there's going to be conflict and excessive PM is inappropriate. I don't approve of what I would refer to as heckling from any party. But, who is anyone to make the determination that an expression or a post on the forum is senseless?

          Last, I'll say this. Have you ever considered that by acknowledging and expressing disgust directed towards another member may satisfy their objective, need, and may encourage the behavior in the future.

          Now, I'm not taking sides, especially since I don't know the parties involved. Nor is it my place to make a judgment. My opinion? I do not agree with trying to limit anyone's expression or posts because I may not approve. I do agree with limiting PM's coming to my box from users who abuse the privileged.

          So there's my input. That and a $1.34 will get you a coffee refill!

            I have talked to my close friend Roger and he said he would be happy to do it at no charge.

                People leaving is uncontrollable. Its going to happen, people come and go for all kinds of reasons.

                The best thing to do, is to pm me the details of whats going on.

                I find the best fix to busting their chops, is to NOT acknowledge or read their pm's at all.

                  I frequently receive a bunch of PMs from one or two individuals, asking a lot of "basic" questions. While it is sometimes distracting to answer what seems to be relatively simple questions, I just take it as part of the territory. I don't mind answering these endless emails too much, although my answers are often brief at best.

                  I look at it as helping the new guys out. If it gets out of control, I believe the site has an "ignore" feature that you can employ.

                        Chuck, Roger is so cool.
                        I think he would be a hit in New Zealand.

                            Andy, we have to be carefull here as the young studs in New Zealand may not get the humour. Now, Aussies understand off colour humour and are more cultured than most Kiwis but that is after they have had at least conquered 4 Sheillas, drank copious adult beverages and state all poms are bas....s

                              I was not tryin to start wars... I love to help new people. I would even go as far as to loose or give something away to help someone but there is a point when your chops are being busted on the boards or in private. I would like to see some kind of private complaint person or section, who can act if say someone gets two or three complaints. Because there are definatly people out to ruin something when it is good. Or there kids who need to grow up either way they should not be allowed to run wild. Traxxas had to ban all non payed ID's because of it. It stinks because I use yahoo and they cant let me join because of the bashers. Well anyway back to having fun with the boats. (-:
