larvay Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I'm still waiting for a mini get together featuring you, snowman21, and TheSnowman (Cory) Ha ha, I remember one time last year when Amy B defended SnowMan's honor because she thought he was TheSnowman.

Professional Lurker Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 The reason I asked was I wanted to see if we could get a common consensus on who the problem people are. Then we could ask those people to change their behavior or leave. This is for both mets and weenies because everyone has been involved in this one way or another ...Sorry, just catching up. I don't care hoe other subforums keeps its posters in line, but I can say this... When "outsiders" post in here with the sole intention of trolling, their posts should be deleted, and the posters warned. If it happens repeatedly, they should be 5 posted for a week. After that, permanent suspension. The problem is, pretty much the moderator here didn't do that, he was too busy having coffee and eggs benedict with the people causing trouble. He should have remained the professional voice of reason due to his position as moderator. ...Just sayin. What SHOULD have happened was this... As soon as the troll posts in the ski thread were made, they should have been deleted, and the people who were posting them should have heard a "knock it off, guys (and gals) you know better". Instead, no posts get deleted, and the thread gets moved into OT. Of course, that only causes more drama. posted a follow-up ski thread, and that too was immediately put in OT as well. Bottom line, we need more mods in here. Will isn't around much, and neither is ekster. With more than one mod, one person's agenda doesn't spoil the entire site.

One other area is and maybe it's an issue not a problem..is that the mets don't like to give the weenies credit or they think the weenies don't anything about the wx..and when the weenies post something they feel they have to correct it..If it's wrong..then they should be nicely and gently corrected..but many times weenies know wx, and to jump on them for their ideas//which are just that ideas...can cause some problems.. like with Phil and Joe the other day..Phil has gotten fed up with Joe and lost his cool..and then so did Joe and so Phil put him on ignore This is going to have to be fixed for everyone..not just a bad weenie or 2.

This is going to have to be fixed for everyone..not just a bad weenie or 2. LOL, c'mon. We don't correct weenies because we think we are right....it's to point out things they may not see. Like when you claim hot humid weather returns on the euro op when it shows 570 thicknesses. However, what you do not see is NE winds at the surface. These are things that we as mets have to look at and point out to those that probably did not look that deeply. Also and don't take offense to this, but it's tough to give credit to someone who always goes for the extreme call and by chance gets it right.

You know you sometimes post stuff out there because it bothers people. You are guilty as anyone....I know your style. You indirectly bust chops and get a rise out of people.

N. OF PIKE Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 i've never been around for the summer posts.(till now sporadically) ...blizz are you usually Weenie of the summer ...and then more back to bizness in the winter there really is nothing to exciting weather wise to speak about for 9/10 days in summer. I mean you could have a competition for daily highs for a few wx stations and keep track of points and stuff. that could focus some of the boards "energy" more productively in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not fun when we post ideas and they jump on them, laugh, mock, poke fun, call us an idiot, tell us it's the worst post ever etc.. Waaa Waaa Waaaa. Humiliation is a great teaching tool. When you make wild forecasts that pretty much ignore all guidance you're going to get slammed. I've never seen a truly incisive post from a hobbyist shot down. If I were to hallucinate cold outbreaks the way you see a constant torch mirage I'd expect to get slammed. Sometimes others are much more informed on certain topics. An intelligent person listens closely, perhaps asks some questions and seeks to have knowledge imparted to him. Stop chopping out lines of LESCO, slow down and listen to those that know more than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, my ultimate goal of being a Mod myself will be realized. I'm working hard to restore my good name and have every confidence that one day I'll get my finger on the ban button.

Kevin was closer to correct in '10/'11 when many storms overperformed. However, last winter exposed him for that. '04/'05 also probably would have had him crowing...although I secretly think he would have been pissed the Cape Cod had more snow than his area. Kevin will indirectly dumb down a storm when he thinks his area is screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 LOL Finish the bathroom? How did you like the waterworks faucets?lol Lol. Finally finished today, had to tend to some other stuff. We had bought a Delta faucet with a weird connection system that would not work. Returned it and got an American Standard that went in like a charm. Still some trim work and paint touchups. Maybe we will repaint the whole thing. Tile work is not bad but my skills at detail work blow. For instance, I cut the jambs too high, a couple of tiles were not cut perfectly near the doors. Good practice for the kitchen. Much bigger. And waterworks is way outa my price range. Good stuff Total for tools and materials was around $1000...one faucet from them is $1500 Granite sink top looks and feels good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
