. I think it's a little more than that Bob. Foggy's comments are just getting old. As his profile states, he likes to "stir the pot". That detracts from any contributions he has made or makes. For the most part, I just scroll past his comments now days. I just felt it was time to call him on one. I would have to agree with James on this one, as that's just how it rubs me. Colby

Thank you, Bob, for the kudos. Please understand I am/was not trolling for them.
I remain unperturbed reading comments from those who disagree and judge my
comments.

Also, I've observed some truth from Carl Jung that

Quote:
Everything that irratates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.


i.e., his theory of our Shadow Side - how others can bring out an unconscious part
of ourselves we don't like to acknowledge or wish we didn't have.

Also, Martha Beck along the same lines

Quote:
You spot it, you got it.

(Condemning others for our worst traits turns us into ethical pretzels)

So, no harm done here and, yes, let's get on with it.

Aye.

Jim, this is one time that I will disagree with you. Foggy sold his Venture, but apparently loved this forum enough that he elected to stay and become a contributing member with some good comments. There were some roughness around the edges, and I certainly know since I was the butt of the early comments.
...

So lets move on with our lives, and appreciate each member of this community for their positive contributions.


You are my friend, Bob, and I always appreciate your input. I recall that "roughness around the edges directed at you," and I admit that formed my opinions. I think it is a testament to the kind of man you are that you can see the good in everyone. We can agree to disagree on this one. I don't see the good in someone trying to suck the joy out of a new owner's experience. One good comment in the past doesn't erase all the continued negativity.

That said, I will try to take Colby's advice (and my dear ol' Irish grandmother's) to just ignore the, um, naysayer(s) and continue to see all the positives of this community.

In the words of the philosopher Ringo Starr: "Peace and love."
