EHoffman Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Is it sad that this doesn't even register to me as an enormous bust? I mean people on here are calling it an all time area wide bust but seems pretty standard to me, maybe even better than most busts in this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or continue to post again and again and again about it, it's not like your popularity can go down much so what's it matter. I am done. You want to say you're over it, then attack me again. I couldn't care less about my popularity, nor whether I'm right. I've made this painfully clear yet you keep weaponizing it, evading the entire point I was getting across. It's frankly depressing. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay show me the repeated posts. More baseless accusations, and a total disregard for the malignances I point out. I'll try to post less if it's not insightful enough for you.

Dude whether you are right or wrong who cares. Just drop it. It’s a stupid weather board. I have been here since the beginning and according to @mappy nobody likes me.

stormtracker Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 17 minutes ago, Wetbulbs88 said: Reading the rest of the post, it only gets worse. Moderators of this sub chastised me for being gloomy about last night's NAM. One of which said, and I quote, "Is there another side to this record?" So now you're twisting my assertion that those criticisms are totally baseless. Is it not possible that you're lacking context? So yes, when you respond saying that I'm gloating, it's simply ridiculous. Meanwhile, you're doing your best to cover your own *ss about your own calls last night. How do I respond? Politely, mentioning that you were letting your hope for us getting snow influence your decision, which I would hardly call a bitter criticism. What did I do after that? I suggested that I don't care who's right. What did you do? Double down that I was posting everywhere gloating. Again, show me where I've been 'gloating' and I'll be happy to reflect further. On the contrary, I was pointing out that people within the culture of exclusivity treat others differently. Now you're going on and on about your own call, which is 100% irrelevant, and proving my point about your projection. I don't care about that. I made one simple point that was somewhat tongue in cheek because you were rooting for us to get snow. You're digging yourself a deeper hole, and there's absolutely no way you're going to bully me into silence. You're simply treating me different than you would treat 'original' members. It's clear. If you maintain the culture of exclusivity, I will push back against it. It provides a disincentive for people to participate. That's why you have trolls, and furthermore, accuse people of being a troll who might not be--which was precisely how I was treated the very minute I stepped in here upon moving back to this area. Next time, just mention me by name or at me. No need to be passive aggressive. I didn't say that because you were dooming and glooming...but you were going on ad nauseam about it, and people noticed, trust me. We got it the first 100 times you said it. Your position was well known. But congrats on making the difficult call of erring on the side of fail in a subforum not known for it. Gutsy call. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there was no snow, I now kinda wish we had really gotten a sleet bomb with banding and heavy rates, with 2-3" of ball bearings accumulating. That would have been something to experience! As it is, maybe close to 1" total, but it did cover everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one respect your rant and it reminds me of when I went off the deep end before my post count was even at 100, sometime back in the terrible 2016-2017 winter. It's best to just ignore and most importantly try not to participate in the chatter amongst the regulars here, rules don't apply to them. @ravensrule said it right, you can't win.

ErinInTheSky Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 A couple years ago, someone asked "If you know you're going to meet climo snow totals, would you rather it come in one or two big storms, or 6-8 small ones?"

Organizations that forecast weather do what they do for whatever reason, but there was never going back a week a high likelihood of significant snow around DC. Never.
