Get all kinds of grumpy responses. It is amazing to wonder why I stopped almost all of my worthwhile posts last year, one person of importance on here recently told me I should post my sand crawler news and I said no. After Ed posted what he did I jumped in. What happens ? Let the hate flow. Please you all can delete the last 24 hours of posts and I will go back to my hole in the ground. Thanks for your kindness. I'll keep my knowledge to myself if this is how I am treated. I would be very disappointed if u do this. Some of us part-time lurkers enjoy your posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MathBuilder Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I think if Ed Mack does it trek should also be able to do it. Mods don't have to like it just don't censor it. Let the audience decide if a code name catches or not. If somebody wants to give info and say it all on spanish or chinese let them. Those who care for that info will figure it out the rest can just ignore it and go with their day as normal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us part-time lurkers enjoy your posts. thanks waydog I really do appreciate it I recently told someone of importance on here that I do not post any more because of all the repercussions that happen every time I post they encouraged me to post about the sand crawler yesterday and I said no I lurk now and do not post because of the responses people give I do not want to subject myself to some of it I do not care in essence what people say or do or respond - whatever of course that is the internet but why I subject myself to being involved in getting some of the responses I have no idea fast forward to today I decided to join in after Ed posted and have some fun with it while sharing news and low and behold I got back what I told the person yesterday I wanted to avoid I regret I did post and should have stuck with my initial instinct back to my hole many will miss me but many mods will be happy I can only assume ps I am done posting on this topics mods and please do not pm me, do what you wish Edited February 5, 2016 by trekgate502 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbacunn Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 respectfully if you all are saying "No" and I am saying this seriously not argumentatively please tell Ed Mack to stop giving veiled hints about retirement with code names and hints like he has on so many over the last few years someone beat him up over it instead of just me calling something Bessie and letting the hate flow from mods seriously I wish someone would delete every post I have made since this morning on this topic and all responses from people related to it lets get it out of here and I will get back out of here too I do not need this Yeah but Ed owns the site so he can do whatever he wants. I have to agree that this code name stuff was pretty lame.

It doesn't mean others can't give their opinion on it. And Ed Mack has his own set of rules that don't necessarily apply to anyone else.

Trek made 1 comment in the raffle thread in a joking fashion in response to Ed's hint yesterday. It was moved here where 2 pages + posts ensued so not really his fault. Obviously over 2 pages of people commented on it so it had some relevance to others or they would not have even commented on anything and gone about there daily business. Not his fault it got moved to a thread where other people follow more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got good info to back it up, then post it. If people find it useful then great. But please, no Trek pity parties. No one is forcing you to do anything. Obviously something is wrong if you come in for one day, post something and now your running out all upset. Not one other forum poster has this issue that you do. Where is the old Trek, not this super sensitive version of Trek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Mack Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 To me, there is only one person who can leave cryptic hints and that is Ed Mack. Everyone else is is just an imitator and never as good as the original. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "pretty lame" you probably meant super lame. Jeff I appreciate your post That being said I know this is not a democracy However there are two things that I expect of a professional website One that forums have extremely professional mods showing the utmost in respect, dignity, posting content and such in each and every post (my opinion not yours or anyone else) And two that members do what the mods say Based on the five mod posts above (not all directed at me but all at the topic) I certainly feel like I was told to not do it again And I think much but not all of it in an unprofessional manner Since that is the way it is, and I seem to draw the mods ire, I know my place on this site In the past when I had issues and snarky responses it was primarily from mods that caused me to go into my black hole I do not have to deal with this, not a pity party, just a fact - Trek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
