Heat Miser Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 13 minutes ago, LibertyBell said: Same to you-- well I know people who have it, and that's typical behavior. It was an observation, nothing more. What was way worse was making derogatory comments about Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, don't you think? The guy is a total ass and it's time to call him out on it-- don't be defending him, you just promote his behavior more. So go cry me a river for being "dickish" to him-- he deserves a hell of a lot worse than that. "R" has nothing to do with autism. The dude is a smart dude, he clearly has issues with people and trolls people and makes tonedeaf near-racist digs (or did you fail to notice he made a derogatory comment using two accomplished BLACK MEN?) This has nothing to with "R" and everything to do with his behavior for multiple years across multiple forums. He's a 5 posted guy who spends his entire day giving out 100s of weenies to everyone else and for what-- liking snow? So get your facts straight before you open your mouth, until then, stand down. We're not reading all that. We're happy for you, though, or sorry that happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a mental "handicap" is what you're not understanding. It's a pattern of behavior.

You clearly don't know him. And maybe not to you, but to me, racism is the lowest of the low and he clearly showed that in referring specifically to two ACCOMPLISHED BLACK MEN.

I’m sorry. It’s just so important to document document and save those service logs. I haven’t held my own contracts since 2011. When I got into it (I was under the impression I would get sued) the overhead was a lot diff then it is now. I have been a sub since then for a private company. Unfortunately, the writing is on the wall for that company as the work has gotten less and less over the years.

It's pretty easy to see what he does lol, I should've used some other terminology, like the other time when he was trolling us before the big late January storm. I think he didn't think that one was happening either. He was saying that the storm would be OTS and then he always disappears just before the storm happens and doesn't reappear on the forum until the weather is about to get warm to say "winter is ending" and then weenieing anyone who posts anything to the contrary. I'm sorry for the dumb thoughtless remark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've considered the sub route but the pay is pretty bad and you still need GL for snow work and most companies won't write a policy for city or town work. That work pays the best around here for subs. The other problem is the lack of locally owned and operated property. It's all giant corporations and they typically sub to whomever is the cheapest at providing all the services like cleaning, security, and maintenance.

I would toss out almost every slip and fall case if I was a judge. It’s impossible to get ice melted on 100% of services.

I was considering going but I can’t imagine it is very good I think all things considered right now it's very good. They have all of their snowmaking terrain open which is pretty extensive for SNE. There were a couple spots where some dirt and grass are sticking out but nothing crazy. They will turn on the guns tomorrow night and freshen everything up pretty quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCWarrior Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Would like to see the models starting move next weeks rain a little more south. GFS doesn't want to budge yet, EURO moved a bit south. Plenty of time to go thankfully. I could care less about down here at this point but this has a lot of implications for ski and sled country!

I agree with this, however, there is a tipping point where even with ignore, others are engaging which you can't ignore. It's a problem common to all web forums.
