OHMO BF title: "Grumpy, whiny, old man"

I think he had a rough start and couldn't recover. If he pokes around a bit more and drops the "grumpy, whiny" part, he would get the hang of the place. Looking at the threads he started, it looks like they weren't unwelcoming at all, but I'm not inside his head and I don't know what he brought to the forum. If he was already frustrated trying to value a bike or whatever, I could see where the responses didn't help. It takes a bit of patience sometimes and I'm not sure OHMO came here with a lot of that. If he reads this, maybe he can realize that we're not out to get him but some people here don't sugarcoat things either. Maybe he can jump in and try again.

I always found BF helpful when I've needed help, so I'm a little puzzled by his post, even after looking at the threads he started. The fact that he changed a couple of his original posts to "..." kind of tells me that some of those threads got off on a bad foot from the start, at least by his reckoning.

If you're out there OHMO, have a drink or take your blood pressure pills or pet your dog or whatever calms you down, and try again. Hopefully we'll be able to help.
