Folks, let's do all we can to keep our comments and posts positive
Negative posts and personal attacks only chase folks away from the Forum and maybe even away form the hobby. Tony and I had to delete one just this morning. Let's take our personal differences off line and deal with them in a less public fashion. Our favorite scale is struggling enough and doesn't need bad vibes making things worse. If you struggle with current prices, don't buy. If you have constructive, edifying, positive critique and review, by all means, post it. Let's build each other and our hobby up, not tear it down. Leave the sniping to the Beanie Baby collectors. In the immortal words of The Thing, "Nuff said!"

John I was just going to say aside from critiquing models I try to be positive and polite to all
I know this post wasnt refering to ME, I'm just making a general statement here. I do agree and don't understand the almost constant personal attacks some make on each other here. Sometimes when I comment about a flaw or error on a model (keep in mind I post the pros and cons with every review) I still am called out sometimes as a "complainer" "whiner" "Nit Picker" etc. It means nothing to me as its childish comments, I have THICK SKIN and I don't value opinions or comments of people with that mind set. I dont like the bickering here anymore then the next guy and wish it would stop already. I think it's just the way the world is heading. People seem to me losing compasion for one another, etiquite and common mannars. SAD but true. This used to be generally just the younger generation, but it seems to be trickling to almost any age group. ME FIRST and I DONT CARE ABOUT YOU. SAD!!!
