You know, I've tried to ignore you and keep my mouth shut, figured you'd make your place or not. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, as it were. But for you, a new member, to say "....Heck if Rod has the opportunity to sell the forum, and retire with a nice sum of money, I say go for it...."...with great respect, I have to ask; who the fuck are you, and what the fuck do you know..??
You have no idea about the history of this forum, the great relationships, the friendships, the knowledge, the brotherhood that exists. How DARE you to suggest that Rod flush the forum, and give in to money? Now, I hope Rod figures out a way to make a tidy profit and if selling ads is a relatively inoffensive way to do so, I'm happy for him. You have NO idea about the people that have helped with money and personal effort to keep the ship running. You have NO idea about the folks that have been members for years, hell, decades.....shared the leaf, sold and traded, held passes, and learned from each other. Your statement speaks of your own ignorance and arrogance, you own "...hey, it can be bought cheaper elsewhere..." stupid attitude, without regard for the B&M people that have supported the membership. And it speaks volumes. You sir, are far too stupid to recognize the opportunity and brotherhood laying right in front of you. Way, way too stupid and far too arrogant.
You sir, are an arrogant, stupid, annoying simpleton. You are boorish, insensitive, and ignorant. And an asshole to boot. The sooner that you lose this forum and move on to your next place of petulance, the better these forums will be.
Please, respond and challenge ANY of my comments. If you can manage to wrap your eleven remaining sequentially firing brain cells around the concept.
For the betterment of all, just quietly fuck off and go away.
