mappy Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Bob you are NOT a bad weenie, not at all. You add informative posts to the discussions. As Ian said, we all can and have been a weenie at one point or another during our time on this forum, however it's the bad weenies that are noticeable and annoying.

usedtobe Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Ah, weenie vs WEENIE! This is good. Yea, I keep a total lid on the crappy model and fantasy land posting.......but the WEENIE in me believes it all hook line and sinker. Then reality sets in.... I took my lumps on eastern. I made some REALLY bad posts there with model analysis. The best part of it was getting called out on it. It helped me stfu and learn a few things first before posting analysis again. I didn't even know what the GFS was until 2006. I used to read HPC disco all the time going all the way back to the early 90's though. There was no sense looking at models back then anyway because I woudn't have known what the heck I was looking at. I owe quite a bit to this community for the knowledge it has given and the desire to learn too. Pretty cool stuff if you ask me and I'm pretty thankful I found eastern. It's been a fun 7 winters since. Well, some more fun than others.... Hopefully, I wasn't too brutal on eastern. You're a good weenie as are most, heck you're good enuf that I stole some of your states. Your a neophyte Don S which is a very high complement though I'm not sure you'll ever achieve his level of being a non-weenie weenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your a neophyte Don S which is a very high complement though I'm not sure you'll ever achieve his level of being a non-weenie weenie. Nah, it wasn't you at all on eastern. I got quickly corrected by tracker, vortmax, and phineas iirc. It's been a while so I'm not totally sure. It was well deserved though. I really had no business posting analysis of model runs back then. I took the "read more post less" repsonse to heart and did just that. Really appreciate the compliment. Don S is about 10 stories above me. IMO- he's probably the best non-weenie weenie on he board. He's helped me a couple times too. I can really relate to his analysis style so he's inspired me to look at the #'s so to speak. Your posts have alot to do with me actually knowing something worthwhile every now and then. I'm sure many others here feel the same way about that themselves. Every subforum needs a Wes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Agreed. Glad to have you as one of them There are folks who deserve to be weenie-tagged after a pattern of bad posts. There are other folks who are attacked by mapgirl and trixie the minute they show up. I grow weary of some here acting like our forum is awash in terrible posts and constantly needs to be scrubbed. This is the same crew who loved to create drama in OT so I suppose they are just not happy unless everyone is spun-up over some invented board issue.

PhineasC Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I love irony. I just don't understand why you need drama so often. Do you read the other subforums? They have far more weenies there. We are probably the cleanest subforum in that regard. Seriously. Don't become like trixie where 95% of your posts are whining about the forum and the people in it. It is not a good look.

das Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Since we're safely tucked away in the banter thread, here are my observations from lurking around these parts for the last 3 or 4 years. I'll call these the 15 steps of AmWX Weenieism: Step 1 – Create account, Log in Step 2 – Post a stupid, unsupportable analysis or message Step 3 – Get hammered for it while being told to ‘read more, post less’ Step 4 – Come back and say the original message didn’t really say what it says, or doesn’t say what it appears to everyone else but you it says Step 5 – Get hammered for it Step 6 – Come back and try to defend to original premise, the one you disowned in Step 4 Step 7 – Get hammered for it Step 8 – Come back and say you are misunderstood, that you did not say what you said, or mean what you meant… but if you had, you would’ve been right, anyway. Give “evidence” to support this. Step 9 – Get hammered for it Step 10 – Come back and say, ‘time will tell’, ‘you’ll see by xyz date’ or ‘it’s based on poorly studied, cutting edge or emerging research’. Give “evidence” to support this. Step 11 – Get hammered for it Step 12 – Take the high road, and say ‘I am done with this’, ‘I’m outta here’, or ‘goodbye folks’ in a lofty way Step 13 – Get hammered for it Step 14 – Come back in (presumably on a lower road) and say, ‘Yes I was done with this, but…’ and proceed to rehash arguments made in Steps 4, 6, 8 and 10 Step 15 – Get hammered for it At this point, they can quit in indignant exasperation, or put in a go-loop and start the thing all over again. Either way, congratulations! they are now an AmWX Weenie! Looks like that Millz guy was on Step 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 LOL das! That's pretty funny. I learned early on in life to admit I'm wrong very ealry in the game. Arguing a bad or false premise is a one way ticket to losing credibility. The problem with defending everything you say is you get no respect when you're right. Anyway, my life lesson of the day is done. Lol. Your post is good though. It's crowded in here during the winter and alot of posts shouldn't be made in the first place because the byproduct is exactly what you described above.

We are portably the cleanest subforum in that regard. Seriously. Don't become like trixie where 95% of your posts are whining about the forum and the people in it. It is not a good look. I read a lot of threads all over the board. There are plenty of weenies elsewhere, but they are handled swiftly and promptly, that doesn't happen here. Here we have threads given to weenies to spew their crap, and/or they are coddled day in and day out to continue to spew their crap. So if the weenies are allowed to post freely here, why should I keep my mouth shut about them? I was asked yesterday to take my posts to the banter thread and I did. Yet, the weenies were still allowed to clutter up the discussion thread yesterday with their crap. Seems a bit off to me. Lolz to you and the Trixie meme, it is played out. Also, you do a lot of complaining about posts yourself, perhaps you should go back and reread some of the things youve said in past events before you start pointing fingers.

Bob Chill Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think one of the problems with analysis threads is caused by posters like me and others. Most of the time I try and add substance but I'm guilty as charged with making "banterish" posts and replying to "banterish" posts. This kinda opens the flood gate at times. Then the regulars who add substance call out those who don't when it starts getting cluttered. It is a double standard and I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about. I think if we want clean analysis threads then there has to be zero tolerance for anything else. That's prob not gonna happen though. No biggie really. I kinda like some of the banter in the analysis threads. It's really time conversation when things are looking good. Keeping it totally dry isn't as fun. Just mho.

Yeah I can get pretty snarky about random people on Twitter, this definitely gave me pause, because I don't really feel like getting punched in the face randomly over a tweet!
