BullCityWx Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 He doesn't have the time. You know, if I care enough to take something up as a hobby, I want to be as good at my hobby as I can possibly be. Am I crazy here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it is just a casual observer and not that hardcore about it. Plenty of people like to watch sports that don't really know how to play it.

Webberweather53 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I've got a pair he can borrow, but I'm afraid he wouldn't know how to use them...lol Nope...count again....now you have two and 5 days to think about it You're getting close. Again, you need to back off. You all may be tired of Brick's attitude or his supposed lack of knowledge or what "he offers to the table" on the forum but it doesn't justify going after someone like this, period...

Jon Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 All I did was post a map. Not everyone is as hardcore about this stuff. I am interested in the weather, but it is just as a casual observer.

Brick Tamland Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I care more about the end results than the actual science behind it that gets is there.

Cold Rain Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Maybe. I didn't think that was so bad, though. It aint the worst. Just stick to it in the Banter thread though. If you're going to report in the Pattern thread what you hear someplace else, at least just say something like, "I saw this posted over at X and thought I would put it here". People get frustrated because you've built your entire posting identity around commentary and regurgitation of others' thoughts. It's fine for the Banter thread, but it's frustrating in the main threads, especially when you have said you do not want to learn anything. The Banter thread is for commentary and discussion of commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Banter thread is for commentary and discussion of commentary. But it wasn't someone else's thoughts. It was just a map. I thought a map showing temps would be fine. It's not too hard to tell from it that it showed cold since it had the temps on it. And it wasn't done just so I can "look smarter." I was just trying to share info. If it is against a rule, then just let me know. I think there could have been a better way of handling that. People don't have to be mean about it.
