Thick skin is part of it, but the others are right, we are here to help the youngsters with the experience that we have at our fingertips, but there are many small minded people out there that want to make a spectacle of themselves for what ever reason. My advice is read what is said, and then evaluate if there is ANY useful information for your question, if yes, thank them and either move on or ask for more information / idea if practical. if no, move on to the next. If said person starts berating you and becoming unacceptably unprofessional, then I would kick a note to SMSgt Doc Thomas, SSG Palmer (JP4), Col Burroughs, SFC Davis or SGM Marquez and ask their advice and input. Of course I am pretty sure the offending party will also hear about it from the rest of the board here as well, but they are the admin that I know about and every one of them has given me sound advice either directly or indirectly since I got into doing this board, also as Admin, they are the only ones who can DO anything if it is too bad. Good luck to you young padawan.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter - that is always in the background of everything I do of course, (which I probably why I do not say it as often as I should,) thanks for the catch.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter - lol, I have been accused of being simple minded in the past, I prefer to not waste my time on multiple standards for everyone, one standard or set of rules for everyone makes life so very much easier for everyone else. You know, kind of like lying and telling the truth, I only need to remember the truth and that is less things that I have to remember. HAHA

SGT Eric Knutson -I agree with you 100% ! Its a lot simpler and easier for people to comply if they know the rules, the rules don't change and are straight to the point. People need consistency and honestly which is always what works best. Nothing wrong with Your approach at all, that the way to do things, it works !

Disagreement is not an attack. However, ad hominem attacks are. I've experienced many of those. Fortunately, I have a thick skin. Never blocked anyone. I believe that their attacks only work against them because I trust in the good and common sense of the RP community to see their attacks for what they are: Admissions of defeat.

Most complaints are because most trolls are unverified.

PFC Pamala (Hall) Foster - No need to feel bad. Most if not all trolls ARE unverified, but some are not verified out of necessity.

I was PATRIOTS so I understand, but it hurt having the validity of my service questioned.

PFC Pamala (Hall) Foster Great post and subject. I posted something about this as well earlier on that has taken on a life of its own.

I saw it. WOW-it took a life of it's own and flew into all directions, but I think the one you wanted, and that was mature discussion. Col Burroughs, I was a PFC and I WISH you were part of MY command chain when I was in from 07 to 09.
