Tractors!

Just don't make me scoop any more ear corn into the grinder with that darned spud fork!

Small wonder I'm mentally bankrupt! :>)

Allan

Wish you and John would quit the dancin' around the issue here. Ya big Whossesis. :>)

Allan

The thing of it is, I'm so reserved, bashful and shy. I was just practicing my therapy. :>)

Later Guy,

Allan

Let me put it to you this way.... Most everyone would get up in the morning, go slam the cardoor on their hand a few times to get the pain and anger flowing, then get on here to launch full-scale character assaults on each other.

(Mostly, it was Allan's fault.....) John

I'll let one a ma red ones outta the cage..... :>)

Today this is a pretty good place again. There was a time, and many many messages, that were not so nice from many people, not just one side. I believe most of those have been erased, and one probably didn't see them.

Don't wish for that past back again, it was not fun.

It's nice if a fresh new thread looks to the future & maybe talks about a hint of tractor or farm issues of the past, instead of this type of thread that is looking backwards & full of insults? It just seems like it invites more bad & ugly feelings. How sad for this time of year.

Not a big deal if a thread strays around all over topics, as converstion is bound to do. Was just extremely different for the way Allan started up any old topic not related to anything, and always with an edge on it - daring others to get ugly, rather than helpful.

That sure was a very different tact for this web site, and one that a lot did not enjoy. There are so many other discussion sites that are designed to be flame-fests, while this is one of the very few that has helpful info on old ag stuff. Seemed a shame to take that away and turn it into just another flame-fest web site.

Allan didn't do so all by himself - he actually seems to be a pretty deceint fellow. But he always started up those threads that really pushed people's buttons like a bull in a china shop, and to this day I don't think he has figured out how much he changed this place from a good friendly place to a really hostile setting there for a while, or why folks were upset with him at that time.

Actually this place has been quite nice again to come visit, and a lot of people were letting their guard down again and getting back to being helpful & friendly & pleasant. And now this thread, so it will all blow up all over again. Sigh.

Smile, it'll make people wonder what you've been up to.

Merry Christmas All

When the "Reginald Denny" trial took place, I was absolutely astounded at the verdict.....Mob Mentality my eye!

But after watching how things degenerated in such a hurry on here, I now understand just what that term means now.

At any point during the "festivities" any of us could have just walked away. Instead, we all just jumped on the dogpile.

I'm hoping we all learned a few things, and will handle ourselves in a more mature fashion NEXT time a brawl breaks out.

And just a final note. My 2 best friends in this world were once bitter rivals/enemies of mine. We had a chance to make peace with each other, and went on to be great friends. I sure hope that happens with all of us.

I think it already has..... John

Gimme a minute. Gotta read this again to see if I'm a bad guy or not. :>)

Yep, I like to stir the pot, that's for sure. :>)

Actually, it is Redmud and Indydirtfarmer who are the real trouble makers around here.....

Allan

Stuff it! :>)

Naw, just kiddin'

Allan

I never realized before that you guys were such bad guys. Hmm? Good company's hard to find, and I'm stuck with Bad Company I, I guess. That'll work.

Have a great weekend. Work today, interstate home tonight.

Here we go again..... .John

Ooooops! That includes me! :>)

Later Dude,

Allan
