infekshus Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Maybe PG should consider an insensitivity training class. Could help. i'm considering offering coursework, but i'm still working on my credibility as a pro in this field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Snow is an IMBY sport.. we all want to finish with the most but some people like you usually do and it makes people who don't feel sad. i understand that -- trust me. it sucks that places south are doing better than me this year, especially coming off such a fantastic winter. but, do i make them feel unwelcome? no, i don't think so. but, if we are being honest, i did feel unwelcome numerous times last year. that i couldnt post my obs in storm threads because places south of me was getting shafted. while no one ever told me to go away or shut up, the negative responses can sometimes be quite jarring. so a part of me understands why some in the two other threads feel they cannot post in the larger pinned threads. snow is very much IMBY. I guess maybe, some of us, need to not be so damn mean about it? i dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for the Richmond thread but as for our SoMD/Lower Shore thread... we're not trying to compete with you guys or anything. Most of us also read and post in the main threads too. We started the thread just because Southern MD and Lower Shore have a similar climo, which is much different than DC/Balt (if this winter doesn't prove that, nothing will). There aren't too many of us so a lot of times we're kinda lost in the shuffle. And its fun having a spot to discuss storms in our area. I asked WxUASF ahead of time before starting it as we're not trying to create some regional rivalry or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 It shouldn't be that areas and posters are chastised or made to fell like they are not part of a region due to them just happening to live in more/less favored areas for weather. If things hit areas near by better than IMBy, so what? I will always hope to get as much as possible but if it isn't gonna happen then no need to take it out on areas that do. There is no doubt this is a DC/Balt centered subforum but when storms hit places around us then I want them to participate. Good things come from all trying to enjoy this dumb hobby without sh*tting on others just because they do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I've seen this kind of behavior before and I know what this forum needs. We need to expose ourselves and dare to to be vulnerable. We need to tear down the walls of isolation that surround us as individuals and be more open with our feelings and emotions. We need to learn to not let our insecurities drive us and to accept each other as unique and special. We need a Challenge Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 This is a big subforum as we all know. I see no issue with southern MD/Lower eastern shore having a thread. Often it is a different world there in winter, and lots of times in the main storm threat discussions etc, "we" and "us" is thrown around and as we know, that doesnt really work. As far as the SE VA thread, I dunno, as that area is really not a part of the Mid Atlantic subforum. Gotta question the motivation for it being here, and the thread title. It should be in the SE subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
