You are what you are. As long as being who you are aligns with who you are, then who you are shouldn't matter. As they say, everywhere you go, there you are, so that means you are what you are wherever you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 4 minutes ago, BTRWx said: I don't think the long range op snap shots would lead to such a "fluke event". I believe the chaos leading into the good look is more important. There's a reason I (myself) am not debating as much in the pattern thread. I've learned and beleive it just leads to trouble more times than not. You began this whole b**ch session a couple days ago with the red tagger comment. I asked what you objected to, and you said too many 384 hr maps. Its a LR DISCUSSION THREAD. Almost all of the discussion at longer ranges involves h5 maps- vorticity, height anomalies, speculating about specific features, etc. Why does it bother you so much that from time to time, someone may post a map? You seem to be whinging just to whinge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRWx Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm just going to flat out change my view clarification. I wasn't trying to insult anyone, but I was trying to change something I have no control or involvement in. I'm sorry for the insult. I learn from every instance here. I'll be careful with my red-tagger view moving forward after this post. If a weather pattern discussion can't support the men and women who actually study this $#!t for a living, then that's the more reason for me not to be so blunt so often. Is that what you all wanted to hear from me? It's banter for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first lean techniques deployed when embarking on a lean cultural change is 5S. Basically 5S starts with the identification and removal of unwanted and unused items from the workplace ‐ clearing the workplace so that efficiency can be improved. This process is usually supported by the ‘RedTagging’ of these excess items and then removing them from the workplace." Basically, it's one who takes out the trash..... ....or it might be a professional MET, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was as simple as we were having fun with it, and you felt left out, or didn't know how to contribute. Whatever the reason, it annoyed you enough that you felt it was necessary to come into banter and suggest that a red tagger needed go into that thread to straighten all of us amateurs out. That was unnecessary and insulting. Now, if you would like to try once more to apologize without all the ifs, ands, buts, and strikethroughs, have at it.

Are you implying that these boards should be a format for pro Mets to discuss, plan and come to a consensus on their forecasts? If that is the case then you are way off base here. These boards are for the weather hobbiests, people that have a love for following the weather. When we do have the privilege of red taggers joining us they are not here in an official capacity, they are here to join in with fellow lovers of the weather and their insight and knowledge is of great value.

We never talk about the medium range when it needs to be mentioned immediately in the Obs thread. if we don't talk about things now for stuff that will happen in the future how will we ever learn from our past?
