Thumper’s Mother


I’ve been a member here for years. Increasingly, the discussions are peppered with cutesy comments and criticisms that reek of attention seeking behavior. 

Please offer more respect to those around here that are innocent hobbyists. They are here to have fun talking about stereos, not be taken to task. I suspect you do it because this is your only available audience. 

These are people. Some are dealing with tragedy, heartache, loss and loneliness. They are trying to forget about troubles and mean people, not engage them. 

If you don’t like a post, or agree with a topic, or have a problem with sentence structure or punctuation, and can’t be helpful and respectful, keep your mouth shut and your hands in your pockets. Go start your own perfect discussion or seek out a narcissist forum in which to contribute. 

I’ve read enough of this garbage to have earned my say. If more people would stand up, this would evaporate. It exists in real life only where it is tolerated. None of you would walk into a group of healthy men and pop off at the mouth. Some say you would I bet, but I know better. I’ve done it and highly recommend against it. 

And don’t give me the ‘can’t stand the heat’ business. Most all of you can be helpful and respectful if you want. Pearls of wisdom don’t justify disrespect. 

Let’s love each other and enjoy our hobby. Please?

I’m sadly a hypocrite, but I’m trying. Please accept my apology.  
 

More apologies are due…

of course. If I could quote everything I regret I have said, I would be typing for two weeks straight :)

I simply vote for more sophisticated castigation.  Something mildly cutting while delivering a bit of wit and insight.  

Lady Astor said to Churchill, “If you were my husband, I’d poison your tea,” to which he responded, “Madam, if you were my wife, I’d drink it!

Now see, that is cutting, clever and entertaining all rolled into one.  If one reads enough Twain, Churchill and Kafka, one can appreciate dispatch.  It's one thing to strike with the intellect of a rock, quite another to slay with the turn of a quip.

I’ve read some of Churchill’s comebacks! Very interesting and inspiring character to me. 

Far beyond my conversational skill though!
