Why stop subscribing to the newspaper when all you have to do is quit reading the columns that annoy you?

Very nice.

C'mon Tim - sorry to hear the place is getting you down but I hope you'll see it in yourself to either hang out or if not, to come back. This place will be less interesting without you here.

You and I agree on a lot, and disagree (passionately at times) on a lot, but I think your voice adds a lot to the discussion here too. It's okay to disagree (even passionately). The world would be awfully boring if we all felt the same way - or worse, didn't feel at all. Here's hoping you decide to stay and cowboy up. Don't let the b*stards grind you down and all that. . .

Okay, let's all have a group hug and beg Tim to please come back.

Come'on guys, I thought that this was an adult board rather than a weenie gathering.

Hey Tim, chill out man and hope to see you back soon.

IMO its not the trolls that get me P.O.'d, its the good guys that you respect that act like *********s that upset me....... I be chillin' too, its just not worth the time or effort. You can find me on the other forums, PPOT lost my respect a few weeks ago, back to lurk mode for a while.

you're a good guy Tim, all the best!
you'll be missed.

Tim, I hope this is only temporary. I've managed to quit smoking, but I can't quit OT. You're one of the guys on here that I genuinely enjoy talking to. Plus, I like to live vicariously through your pictures of the workshop filled with tools, airplanes, and Porsches.

Matt, I quit smoking too, and I thought you lived vicariously through my occasional pictures of the movie sets I work on. I'm hurt. Oh!, I'm not shallow, Timmy come home!

Tim, if I post more pictures of my airplane, would that help?

(I'd post one now, but they're all on the other computer)

Can I have your post count?

I like the way trolls hair are freaky colors and sticks straight up in the air...

Build something cool (or repair). You've shown us some great projects.

Just don't go on any of those other BBS's. That would be cheating on your "break" from PPOT

Tim;

I went from Singpilot to Fingpilot because of FastPaster. The trolls only win if you leave.

Besides, I am willing to bet that FastPat gets a cavity search antime he now boards a flight.

Hang in there!

I'm with the rest Tim. Although we've only conversed a few times they were lively debates with no harm no foul. I'll even let you hunt in the field across the road, (the state stocks it with pheasant, Shhhhhh).

Good luck to ya Tim, I hope you reconsider and return after the embers die down a bit. I, like several others have mentioned, have become disenchanted with the tone of PPOT recently, so I've somewhat "stepped away" from PPOT just a bit too. However imo, this is an inherently "good" place where lots of intelligent and thought provoking exchanges have occurred over the years and I'm willing to wait it out just a bit. I personally had no problem with WIWB, Fastpat, Mul (1 & 2), etc. and just ignored their trollish behavior. After all, it's the internet...

ps: As the "offending" thread has since been deleted, many may not understand why Speeder, Rob, Mike Marsh (I think he left the board), myself and I'm sure a few others are speaking up, but the mods know. I wouldn't want their job, think they do a fantistic job, but we're "sqeaking" and need some grease . Off of soapbox...

can't ignore an itch you can't scratch. Best to just cut out the injury.



that itch was evil

Tim, keep posting your projects and keep out of the political stuff.

It's a big time waster like you said.
