It's getting RIDICULOUS in here!
TOO MANY personal attacks from members AND mods (?) ON member Lone Ranger.
Despite if you don't agree with him,,why badger and offend him constantly when YOU ALL KNOW it's wrong, as well as, against the forum rules? The occasional outburst okay i suppose, but it's getting to the point of being bullying. Not cool
CHRIS A. and LONMAN (MOD) who have decent influence on this forum are seemingly turning others against LR with their insults and "likes" on the badgering. Nice post btw TIM
WHETHER OR NOT you agree with someone's opinion or not, try to understand and respect the perspective, help shape it differently, or simply IGNORE IT.
I'm sure LR has some good information out of his MANY YEARS (more then most here) and can be a valuble source of information given the opportunity.
YES He seemingly goes ON AND ON AND ON on some things, but i believe he is just trying to find some truth in his opinions and IS NOT trying to piss anyone off or offend anyone.
He DOESN'T return the name-calling does he? Or show ANGER towards anyone here. He even replies to you by NAME.
Take the HIGH ROAD guys and stop acting like little bullying children
BTW Chris Avis, joking about or being insensitive or accusing someone of having mental health issues or declining mental health is WRONG on so many levels. WHERE are your ethics and morals these days????
johnreynolds - Thank you for calling me out. I have been thinking about what I have said and I have not been very happy about it. I have considered editing out some of what I have said or removing it all-together. It does seem insensitive at times.
I am not joking about mental health and I am sorry if you think I am. I have a family member that suffers from a mental health disorder. Family and friends ignored it and brushed it off for a long time. Until we confronted and spoke about, nothing was ever going to be done about it. This is part of the stigma of mental health issues - no one wants to take about it.
But I won't bring it up again. I spoke my concerns.
I do take issue though with you thinking I am turning other people against The Lone Ranger. The negativity being displayed against him is a result of the negativity he exudes on the forums. It comes down to the whole Golden Rule thing. It is the blowback of the completely irrelevant, illogical, and seemingly purposeful conjuring up of information to create discourse in the forums. There are no back-channel, coordinated attacks being planned here. I believe people are simply fed up with his BS.
However, I appreciate and respect what you have to say and I am going to take your advice.
The Lone Ranger is now ignored.
