SPA Modeler

I'm with you Jim. Stick the participation trophies where the sun don't shine.

Yes, you've been going on about your FB group complete with name droppings over the past few days. I don't think that there is an active member of this forum who is unaware at this point. As far as how you were raised or how you raise your children is of no concern to me unless I am forced to deal with either professionally. Given our proximity to one another that is highly unlikely.
Personally I am all for self improvement. But you really need to dial it back on shoving it in every bodies face here on your last few posts. Some folks are quite heavily motivated internally and need no external affirmation for that.
You're not offending me personally here.i don't think that you believe in or stand for the things in life that do offend me. And even if by chance that you did, you are a long way from my real world where things like that truly matter. But I do think you are being a bit offensive to forum members in general with some of your more recent postings.

Which I suspect - although I hope I'm wrong - has been the point all along?

Honestly, You the sound like the guy that wants to leave his wife and kids but is too chickenshit to do it, so instead he makes their lives hell hoping he'll be chucked out - then he can go guilt free with the moral high ground knowing that it was 'their fault!'

As I said, I hope I'm wrong - but your behaviour of late, plus the fact you've deleted your Avatar and the link to your blog (which I read and enjoy BTW) would suggest is the case.

If that's the case, I hope not. I don't think there's a single member on here (including our chief shit-stirrer ) that would want to see you go, no matter how much we may, or may not agree with your veiws. In fact I would suspect most of us would welcome a greater degree of input from you - I'd certainly value some feedback.

It's a shame this is a forum in someways, if this was a model group I'd suggest firing up the BBQ and getting the beers in - then we could all get together an have a laugh.

Anyway - do what you need to do - but do it in peace. we're always here.

Cheers,

Stuart.

ps. oh and granted you don't know me from Adam - but if you ever feel the need to vent, feel free to chuck me a PM - I may not be able to help, but I can always listen (That goes out to all of you actually).

Edited: Not giving you the satisfaction.

Really?

I guess I wasn't wrong after all. I feel sorry for you Jim I really do.

Stuart.

(Apologies mods - thought I was helping. I guess not. I hold my hands up if I've over stepped the mark - but won't see another post from me on this subject).
