Not talking about calendar years here, more the emotional variety. For the first time I think I used an "ignore" feature on someone before I even got into an online arguement with them. Mind you, the number of troll-types on the C&V forums are very rare. I've only used it now twice.
I like the ignore feature. It protects me from my worst tendencies.

gugie? Where are you? Why don't you answer me? 
Knowing yourself and valuing your time are both good signs of maturity. Obviously the person isn't a moderator here. You don't get to ignore them.

Hello, hello?
Just crickets?
Just kidding, I see all of you.

If it smells like an outrageously large and opinionated blowhard in Colorado, it surely is an outrageously large and opinionated blowhard in Colorado.

Yes you are! I don't have time nor do I want to waist the emotional effort to accept some opinions out of Colorado!

The C&V forum is chilled out. I can remember only one issue with a guy here when he turned something into a political rant for some reason. The road forum is a different matter.

Now you've got me curious. Don't tell me though....doesn't sound like reading what the poster has to say is worth the hassle.

The thing that is funniest to me about this thread is: I am a lurker on the Big Green Egg forum. I'm a little more active here......enough to make me hope I've not piss d anyone off enough to be on the "What the hell is he/she back again for?" But the same kind of posts are on the egg forum also.....people who show up for a quick set of comm nuts made solely for the purpose of stirring the pot and then disappearing until the next time.......so many right-minded people here, just like the egg forum, that the aggravation factor is high.......That must be the purpose........ignore his/her highness.....they ain't worth it....

Thank you for that. Somehow I just feel that all the troll wants is to be fed.

Schwinn had plans to move the company to Tulsa in 1977.

No politics. No inflammatory claims. Just pure, simple fact.

Is that the guy who stole the box of components that dozens of other forum members contributed?
