Is it the dog days of summer or the moon tugging at our brains?

No doubt, many of you have noticed that posts have gotten a little heated on certain subjects on the forum as of late.

The thread about Dan's ticket is one such area and the other is in the Garage area where poking fun has caused some sore feelings.

Many of you are fairly new members here on the KawaNOW Forum and so you may not really know how I feel about disagreements on the forum. The older members know, but I thought I'd reinterate for the sake of trying to clear things up.

I take the environment you log into to gain knowledge about your Nomad VERY SERIOUSLY. I pride myself on providing the best forum that I can, to help you in all areas of the Nomad. It's been that way since day one and will continue to be that way until the end arrives for all of us.

And, I think that's one reason why we've grown so much over the past two years. Be rest assured that whatever issue or person get's in the way of that goal will be dealt with quickly. I have no problem with banning anyone from the forum if they are bent on causing problems. I've done it before and I'm sure I'll do it again. But, keep in mind that I will always do my best to provide you a safe and informative area to log into.

I think the main thing we need to practice here is that anyone that frequents this forum CANNOT take things seriously or personally. That is the golden rule here at KawaNOW.

I allow everyone the opportunity to express their feelings about a subject. I allow kidding and some levity to be portayed in posts. And, I allow thread hijacking. This is where the subject of a thread might change temporarily.

But, I will not allow negative posts that are meant to cause harm or trouble for the whole forum. All of us have to understand that we may have the right to express our feelings, but it's HOW those feelings are portrayed in a post that makes the difference.

Bottom line.....Think about what you are going to say before saying it and don't take things personal.

And relax.....believe it or not, you are among friends.

Utah, I'll go beyond that and say a forum is only as good as it's members. If your over sensitive about the discussion your going to have a problem. I enjoy lively debate. When an individual wants to be a little bit of a smart butt I'm up to the task. I get hammered all the time by todd, swb, OP, TC and thourghly enjoy theirs and all the banter. My skin is more than just thick, its concrete thick.

Trip will attest that I have never PM'd him because so-and-so are being mean to me! I walk in my own shoes because I'm a big boy now (shuddup todd http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif).

Take Dan's lively thread! One of our members actually quit over it!

Trip's forum is for all those that want to hang out! Very few rules imposed by him. Don't like the subject? Don't participate in it,,,,,period! No hard feelings. I don't look at half the threads because I have no interest in them.

Trip, your policies here are more than fair. I've been on forums where the moderators are like the hall monitors in a 21st century world. They use their positions to show people that they are in charge and probably to satisfy deep-seated issues with being bullied in grade school.

People say things from behind a keyboard that they wouldn't dare say in person. Everyone has to remember that and take what's said with a grain of salt.

This forum is like a foot and Trip is the big toe. Where the big toe goes, so goes the foot.

I don't like the political direction of one of the boards, so I checked to see if the members wanted politics in it's own forum. Most liked it where it was, and if I don't like it, nobody is forcing me to read it. I don't go, it was simple.

I still like talking about other things with the same people who like politics.

There will be some topics that don't resonate well with your personality style, so don't open those threads.

The moderators here do a great job, though it isn't needed often, of making sure that other members aren't attacked personally.

So even though I don't like some of the subject matter on the board, and choose not to read those posts, it's a great board of good helpful people with different opinions.

It'll take a lot more than a thread about a jerk therapist to get me to leave! :)

I like it here, even with all the gun toting, right wing crazies http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Trip, thx for the reminder ...helps keep things on a positive note. I particularily appreciate the reminder to not take things seriously or personally. And Darksider--I agree.

I knew when I signed up---that this gathering of fellow Nomadiacs was a great place to hang a shingle.

The words of wisdom and support shown by fellow members attests to the overall character and spirit of KawaNOW.

With Age comes wisdom.........OK I'm 56.......I'm sure to pay for that comment

I Have not been on this forum very long, but one thing I must say is how mature and respectful everyone is of others here. Great place to hang out and Trip you and the other moderators do a great job. I have been on other forums, where locked threads due to arguments mud slinging, etc happen on a regular basis. Not a fun place to be.
I am still trying to get to know people on here, so put me in my place if needs be, but one thing I would like to point out is:
This is a place for discussion and I think there will and should be differences of opinions.
One thing to remember is:
Because we are not talking face to face the tone or even the meaning of a post can be interpreted differently. Much like a book in that ten different people read it and you can get ten different variations of what the author was really trying to convey.

mere country lodgic....

Now I know no cops will like what I have to say about what is their job, but I am not the one who makes it that way. They are. They do it by not weeding out the crooked cops amoung them, because blowing the whisel might just get you out of your job too.

I know that, just like I know a fat 350lbs cop can't run or hide behind a sapling.

Real cops come to living history (not on the job) and I know some of these guys are good cops, but they will not weed out the bad cops either. And some of them are just bad cops (also not on the job). They will tell you about how funny it is to them to bust someone by planting weed on someone, and other things they do to create a victim..

I am the same face to face with these guys as I would be with you if I could meet you face to face.

The Virginia SWAT team in my mountains didn't like me one bit from the begining to their end.. i was a long hair hippy to them but I was also the care taker charging a 3 dollar fee for the nights they stayed at Gray Knob on my mountians. (My mtns are every one in NH) gray Know is a RMC hut, RMC is a sister to AMC, and I was a part time winter care taker, paid)

I was the 'Authority' not them and they didn't like it one bit. All I got was long hair this, long hair that and complaints about the weather.

Hell it was a nice warm day by standards in the White Mnts in Feburary, my cup of tea!

The first day it was 55 degrees and raining. On that day I made a few comments on all the gear being black which is confusing, when you need to find any gear at all.

I have to work to collect the fee and that's just part of the job. Another part was to make sure these duffasses stayed safe.

They got all wet! I refused to start a fire, as no care taker ever does that unless there is a emergency and getting wet isn't one.

I told them they could go get dead and down and burn that if they wished but no care taker wood would be forth coming... more grumbling...

Day 2 it turned colder.... +10 not so very cold. Down at Pinkham Notch the weather guys radioed me to say it would be -40 to -60 the next day and I warned these guys to get their stuff dry in +10...

Naw long hair don't know nuthin..

Well day 3 brought a mild -40 with only 80 mph winds, and these guys accted like little girls and abandoned all their gear to me, telling me I had to pack it down and ship it back to Virginia..

I told em right up plain, you packed it in, and you WILL PACK it OUT. Nope, they abandoned it, and ran from the weather..

I play up there and don't even stay inside Gray Knob unless I am getting paid to stay inside. I don't even use a tent since thar's no bugs at -40 and it can't rain.

I told these guys I would indeed give all their gear away for free to any takers who were interested and I did. I have no obligation to ship anything to any place ever unless I say I will.

I am fair, more fair than many. I would not have let any of these guys die, but that is where the line was for them those 3 days.

I don't care what a man does to get money. If he has to be an ass to do it then so be it, but if he is an ass to me I give it right back.

I don't want power, or authority on my own, and I don't want a big ego to go around and prove stuff.

If I get any respect it is because i EARN it, as I don't believe you can simply demand it. You can demand courtisy, but not respect which is always earned.

Country lodgic has a place.. it is simple , it is direct... I try to live by the code and rules I made for me, and most of the time a good part of that isn't making choices for others, or taking choices for others, but telling others what I see that are their choices instead.

What one does then is up to him..

What I do when any man with any kind of authority over me which I don't believe is very realistic, is close my eye and imagine him sitting on the throne.. pretty quick I decide what I will and what I won't tollerate.

I don't care if he is the Queen of Sheba.. I size the guy up for what I think he is made of, and if he can stand the broadside i will deliver.

When I am in the wrong I just say so.

Little ol me has blown the winds of of a lotta hyped up sails in my time. Doctors Lawyers and all sorts of folks who get used to authority because they think they know something.

I got boots that have been in a lot of bad places too, so I know when a bluff has been called.

Actually just lookin' atcha I can see how that might have happened!! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

BD, don't take this personal, you just reminded me of a realy big guy I once worked with.

Once upon a time ol' mac worked with this guy Pete. In the worst way Pete wanted to be a world Pro Wrestler, and man he was the right size too! Pete was a living breathing monster of a man, young man, we both were then.

At the time we worked as a team, but Pete was new and didn't know all of what he needed to know. Were were building palm thatched Tiki Huts for Hawian Tropic all around Fla and SC, at beachside hotels on their pool decks.

My Boss was Richie a team carpenter, I did anything from fix vehicals, to cut palm thatch and thatch to get cypress in brown water chest high.

A day came where Pete got grouchy and i raised my voice a little bit telling him to go off till he was ready to work, and he got mad and hit me. That knocked me on my band box, and I got up and hit him back for the little it was worth, but I was doing my best to make a point that you can't hit me unless you plan to knock me senceless the first time.

I am sure i didn't hurt Pete one bit, while I can't say the same for Pete's punch on me.

Pete came to deliever another blow, but I wasn't going to stand there and take it, so I jumped into the swimming pool.

So did Pete, but Pete didn't know I could hold me breath under water well over a minute, almost 2, and that made his size and stength a whole other matter.

All I had to do was lock down on his big toe and hold him under water with me under him on the bottom of the pool..

That took the wind right out of Pete's sails too... Man after that Pete thought of me like his personal hero. He would get things I mentioned in passing mostly a cold beer, or tools.

One night in Castaways a Miami bar a couple of punks rousted me at the under water bar, with the port holes looking into the pool, and Pete found these guys in the act of harming me, over money, so Pete became like my personal Pit Bull.

I simply stood there and watched bodies fly http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

I wonder where those guys are now?

Don't worry Mac, Coach might hire you to knock off Todd to keep him away from Tammy. ;) The least he should be flogged for what he did to the rabbit.

I juss knowed I shuda come to custer! I wooda shot that varmint jackelope, and had it stuffed... Instead some of my buddies got confused in the sun ..... you guy are scaring Ol' mac now...

Why shoot the jackelope? It wasn't doing anything!

Try shooting to two sitting on its back... they definitely were annoying the jackelope!!! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Thanks for your reminder Trip! It is no secret that I can be sensitive, but I am in a "good" way, because I worry WAY too much about hurting another person's feelings. Heck, I tend to disappear for a bit if I think I have said something wrong!!! http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif

So, you don't have to worry about me picking any fights!!!!
I love this forum and people I have gotten to know!!! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Early meetin's of different races, ended up with some very interesting ways to create pain, but I am not so sure any of these methods would work on bumble bee's, nor do I understand why anyone would want to on a bumble bee..

Hornets, yellow jackets and wasps are a whole other matter..

There is a paper nest of black and yellow hornets in my WW-1 vintage canoe hanging in the pine shed, but these look close to a hiney bee, and i had to sit there a while to tell myself.

These might be gone the hard way fer them sooner than later, but if they were honey bee;s they would be welcomed, and i would go build them a real house..

be sure what you are killing before you do it.

I'ld like to mess around with some of the methods from the early days, but finding any willing victims isn't easy..... I sure am not going to volunteer myself EITHER!

Thank you Tripp for your efforts.
Hanging here reminds me of my time in the Fire Dept. A good bunch of people that enjoy a good time. And like the FD if you step in sh!#, they'll let you know about it and laugh. If you can't laugh with them at yourself, that's your bad.

Rule #1 from the F/D if you have a "Button", keep it to yourself, cause if we find it we'll push it, and push it and...until you explode.

Rule #2 from the F/D life is too short to take yourself seriously, nobody else does.
