Thirty Days in the Hole

I miss Oldhvymec's contributions. 

MC, no.

While mahgister's assertion about ego is indisputable, there is something to be said for a collective willingness to maintain a civil level of discourse. We are all human and thus, vulnerable to becoming triggered by other's speech. No one can be expected to be immune. However, when we all make a sincere effort to bring some self-awareness and respect for others to the table, an environment is created that fosters more, rather than less, of such behavior. Not only did MC routinely personalize differences of opinion but he was unnecessarily and repeatedly abrasive.  His ad nauseum assertions that he knew best were the least of it. 

Wow!

You are right...I just verify...

I think he can come back here now...

good news...

Oldhvymec's account is not listed as suspended.

Seems like the original poster of this thread is no better than MC, gossiping about someone he doesn't like, and daring for MC to post something controversial that he doesn't like. Amazing how many members jumped on board.

The forum is distinctly less fractious in the absence of these two individuals FACT.

 Quite frankly all the *Guru* status ground breaking information served up by the one is already out there on other forums if one looks and was presented in a most calculated way to expand his self importance.

As fo the other … yes, entertaining up to the point where Dr Jekyll morph’s into Mr Hyde.  

Consensus is not truth...By the way...

Discussion help...

A minimal respect will help too...

Acccusing people to come from a Stevenson novel is not the way nor a truth ...

All of us had these two faces, even you ...It is the reason why Stevenson genius is expression of a universal truth...

The problem is not being Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde, we are all this double Janus faces, but the the problem is when manifesting these two aspects we manage to  stay always UNAPOLOGETIC and acting without being conscious of ourselves...

I am Dr Jekyll myself and i had the Hyde face too but i can apologize sometimes when i sense i  go out of my conscious way...

Then it is useless to judge others ...

We must walk in our shoes...With a mirror...

i apologize to you for my observation...I only need to say it...
