What is goin on here???

I joined this Forum to learn and that I have done!!with the help of fellow members and friends! I don't know about every one else but I don't like the way the forum is heading. To me if you don't have anything to add as far as constructive then why post!!! if it's for a post count then your in the wrong place!!!

Why is there alot of lurkers?? Well go back and look at some of the post or threads. Do I want to join to be belittled because I'm new???? Why not help the new guys to continue or love of these little red machine's!!!! I'm gonna ask a couple of questions and maybe get some answers!!

Kelly why aren't you in the vendors section????we all know you have the parts but new guy's or gals don't. Relax have a little fun it's not our fault you have all the overhead..Don't get me wrong you have some nice machine's!!!!

Bob.. Post count who Care's!!!!!!!But lately I find your threads and Post educating!!!

tbbahner if you want 200.00 for your book so be it!!! Good luck!!!

Steveasuares if your happy with the machine you got than good for you!!!

Were there posts deleted that I missed?

Your post is a bit contradictory "To me if you don't have anything to add as far as constructive then why post!!!"

Then you you try to call Kelly out for not being in the Vendor section?

You make it sound like he owes us that service. Maybe the way he does things now work best for him. I'm pretty sure he has a family, a job, his tractors to enjoy and helps others when he can.

However, I couldn't agree more about post count.

I don't know how or Nice tractor is the same as some of the info SOI or TT and so many others provide.

[mavfreak 11]

your posting doesn't really help the "lurkers" want to join cause you basically just belittled a bunch of pretty helpful members.

So I was thinking of getting ahold of the MODS and see if they'll pull down everything but just WH tractors and WH parts. Would that make it all better.

I really don't have anything else to say other than I'll look at you in a much different way now.

The post count thing is a little joke between Stevasuarus and me. Sorry that you find it offensive.

[Kelly 1,033]

I said something about the overhead because, I don't think many people on here realize the work it takes to have and sell these parts, to answer all the emails I get, a lot of them, at this moment I have a list of 18 items I need to pull inspect and figure shipping, I don't make big money on most stuff, some bigger items I do, but not all, I don't need to be in the vendors section, I get more parts request that I can handle, I apologize to any one that it takes a few days to get back to you on parts, I do have a life outside of this stuff, I could load a semi or two up for the scrap yard and make good money at it, with scrap being $250 a ton, and go back to my family, or just sell on ebay I make more money there because bidders run the price of a $10 item up to $25, on here I charge the $10, I also try to help when I can if a question is asked, I'm not perfect, I make mistakes and I don't claim to know everything about these tractors, but I do know alot about them, I take the poking I get with a grain of salt, and try to forget it, life is to short to worry about what everyone in the world thinks about you, I know many members here don't care for me, but I try to remember who said what, and stay away from commenting on that persons post, I don't always type what is in my mind, I'm not good at putting in writing what I'm thinking, so things I say get taken the wrong way, I think that has happened alot here lately and maybe I need to take a break from this place.

Not that anyone cares but right now my wife has to take care of her Mom she had a stroke a year ago, and can't talk, and is paralyzed on her right side, my step father in law fell on the ice and tore up his shoulder and had to have surgery and needs help, so my wife had to line up 24 hour care at the house for them, to help on cost my great wife goes over every night after she gets out of work from 5pm to 9pm, and she spends almost the whole weekend there, I take care of the kids here do laundry, dishes help with shopping, run the kids to practices ect..... so sorry if I seem a bit serious my life is a mess right now, I'm not asking for sympathy just letting you know, I have alot going on in my life, way more than these tractors, I'm very very busy, and in my spare few min. I set in a chair and get on here to relax but that is getting hard to do, with all the crap here, I know many people don't care for me, but like I said it don't bother me much, you all have a good day, I have a yard to mow and a list of other stuff to do.

And the only intentional post counting I do, is in the welcome section I say Welcome to every member that shows up, those are gratis post counts

I certainly don't have any problem with anything you have said. I find your knowledge and parts availability a great asset to this site and the world. People need to grow a thicker skin sometimes.I work in a hospital dominated by a bunch of women who all they know is "I want this" and "why isn't this fixed yet" I'm on call this weekend and I have an obsolete chilled water pump above the O.R.'s that leaking like a sieve that I cannot turn off. A new pump has to be built and won't be here until Wednesday. It my job to keep the water out of the OR. I got got nurses calling about uncomfortable rooms lousy TV's ect. I tell them they have to wait while I get the air handler pumped out. They think I don't care about their problems. I have to go back every 3 hrs. and pump. You just got to let comments just roll off your back sometimes. The next time the boss forgets about a problem with a critical piece of equipment, he's going to be the guy babysitting the thing!!

[papaglide 542]

I feel that everyone needs to take a step back, enjoy a beer, come back and enjoy this GREAT forum. Lots of info, pictures , funny comments and loads of different personalities. In my opinion I don't see any difference in this forum over the past year or so since I joined.

Kelly thanks for your service. I know that I have used it. :hide:

[stevasaurus 23,274]

:hide: Mike...talk about your basic Spring Cleaning.

It is always going to be hard to know how to take things sometimes when you are typing and not hearing the inflections in a voice. I would say that Kelly and I are friends, and as soon as that stuff happened the other day, we were sending PM's to straighten it out. I apologize...I took it the wrong way and made it worse.

This is a great forum, and the people on here are all good people with a common goal...enjoying, learning, helping, welcoming and wishing Happy Birthdays all the way to nice tractors. Post counts...do not matter, and I remember liking to be Welcomed to Red Square when I joined...made me feel welcomed.

A good clearing of the air is constructive some times and needs to happen. I have had a lot of fun on this forum and have met a lot of excellent members. Kelly...please do not take a break from here. You to Mike, you are one of the good guys on here also. I spend great amounts of time on here, which is why I am pushing that 3000 count. I am not doing it on purpose, I am just trying to beat Bob to it.....Just kidding.

Oh...and I am tickled Red about the new horse. :)

[JimD 3,347]

Time for a reality check. In my time here I have seen complaints, criticisms, and personal attacks come and go. I have always tried to be on the side of getting people to be good to one another here. I cannot say it made a difference, but I have seen personalities return to their former and true nature of being helpful just to be helpful. It was a wonderful thing to see.

I was not going to let this be known here but I recently was made aware of a serious health problem, and I will be entering the fight of my life. I strongly urge you all to think about what is truly important in life. The love and support of family and friends is what it's all about. Everything else is trivial, to say the least. None of this seems very important to me right now, yet here I am posting this in hopes that you all will get back to enjoying this hobby, realizing that we are not all equal in our knowledge or devotion to a tractor. Take this for the grain of salt it's worth, but just think about it.

Kelly, I now understand your serious nature. Kudos to you for helping family. But you really could unstuff that shirt just a little. :hide:

[racinfool40 203]

I wasn't trying to Bash any one!!!And I have dealt with Kelly and always had great results!!! I was just wondering Why he wasn't in the Vendors section was all!!! If that was wrong to ask Then I sincerly apologize!!!!!Maybe I'm the one that needs to step out!!!!

And Jim D I hope everything is well and you know me if you need to talk let me know!!

I'm truly Sorry If I offended anyone I just needed to get it off my Chest!!! Wasn't happy with things going on here..So I'll step back and let it run it's course!! :hide:

[stevasaurus 23,274]

Holy Cow Mike... Almost 6,000 looks in 12 hours at this point. That has to be some kind of record. :hide:

I can safely say anyone who has any problems dealing with you has nothing to do with your ways of doing things. I've had several dealings with you and find you nothing but easy and helpful to work with. Anyone who feels differently must not have gotten to know you well enough or took something the wrong way hopefully they'll rethink that, but if not it's there loss. You've pulled parts in the rain for a less then fair price, answered questions with nothing in return, Generally, just been nothing but help while making very little money for your time invested.

On a personal note, I am very sorry to hear of your in-laws. tractors mean nothing when it comes to real life, not even wheel horses...

Well I guess thats why we all need to think before our mouths open or our fingers start working.

[Horse'n Around 22]

Jim I sure hope everything works out ok, I hope that you don't mind if I keep you in my prayers and Kelly I will be doing the same for you and your family.

:WRS: I know I am a new member but had to say after reading this I know I am in the rite place! After reading all of this I am amazed that after everything said and smoke cleared the amount of information we all learned and how fast this is being resolved truley shows the caliber of people you all are. I'm glad to see that we all have flaws and there are people here willing to help point them out and give support. Just wanted to say I like that!!! :hide:

[AMC RULES 37,195]

:disgust: I know we're all bigger than any of this nonsense started here. I always thought the forum was the place to have fun, not call your brothers out. WTF indeed? Sad state of affairs. :)

[corn53 4]

:) Sorry had 2 get my posts up!!! Kidding just wanted everyone 2 know that this site is great if ur a enthusiast. I`ve learned alot reading posts and love checking out the pics of fellow members new purchases. I also know if I have a ? I`ll also get lots of support!!!! :hide:

[hm12460 53]

Mike, I didn't realize we had an issue here, thanks for letting me know. Take care of yourself and family first Kelly. Your knowledge base and technical help is an asset for all of us.

P.S.- I got a new to me 312 8 speed last week.

[Kelly 1,033]

If I said too much, I'm sorry, but things at home have been ruff and I don't say much if anything about it here, it's not the place, I like Mike racinfool40 we have delt together well in the past and I'm sure will again, sorry for the rant to all that had to read it. Kelly

[wh79d160 52]

I wouldn't have if it wasn't for this site. My new shop would be green instead of red & would be full of green & yellow instead of red & white(linen beige, almond or what ever). Kelly, I look foward to knowing that If I have an issue w/any I have , I can count on you or TT or several others to fix me up w/a solution to my problem. The REDSQUARE support staff. I have even been able to help other members out thru the years w/issues from time to time. I wasn't afraid to tackle a project ,which I ended up learning from, because I knew the RS members had my back. I consider this site a valuable resorce, not a social network. :WRS:

[Gene_S 93]

Mike you know the problem I have, I read to much into how people respond to posts and then I think their assholes for their responses. Then I meet them in person and their nothing like I thought. It's hard to read people's emotions in e-mails, Facebook or even here on RS.

I have met a few people on here and they were as obnoxious in real life as much as they were on here!!! Sure glad I don't see them every day!!!
