This forum is largely made up of responsible individuals that care about their their fellow forum members as well as their own reputations. Wouldn't it be nice if this thread could be continued in the spirit of the original post? I, for one, really enjoyed it.

Well it seems the OP has deleted all of his posts, that’s a shame. I personally liked the sentiment and the story, I also read the “correction” as rather pointless and understand his ire being raised by the tone. Trapr AS I WAS FIRST READING THIS TOPIC ITNSEEMED LIKE I WAS MISSING SOMETHING, NOW I KNOW WHY, A LOT OF OP's DELETED. HURT FEELINGS HAPPEN, MANY TIMES INADVERTENTLY. IF YOU WANT TO POST SOMETHING "AGGRESSIVE" MY ADVICE IS TO THINK ABOUT IT FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS, COOL OFF, AND RECONSIDER. -45MAN

This was not inadvertent although I did read that you said "many times" not "always". This was outright rude and sarcastic. I have alerted the mods and it is up to them.

The OP's response was out of line.

THIS is what peeves me off. WE lose all this good content. I am no better or worse than anyone else; I will leave others to ponder their part in this. I am not taking sides. I AM saying it is heartbreaking to lose this story and I do think we could all grow a little skin. There is no tone in the written language. +1, Well put and I totally agree!!

I disagree on the no tone in the written word,...use of italics or CAPITALIZATION expresses tone. 45MAN, explains his use of CAPITALIZATION because it does carry a connotation of tone in todays online society.
As to the OP’s response being out of line, I read the response from Taffin and felt the same regarding his response.....perhaps more judicious use of the English language could have been selected and it would have eliminated the OP’s response.
My two cents, and you are free to agree to disagree with me, either way I’m done with this topic.

This whole mess should probably be left to rest.
It happens every time stories meet facts.
While some weave and embellish stories, some simply shout facts. There is no right and wrong, just a conflict of tactics.
It's one of the realities we all face posting on a forum...
