I only get the most glowing, positive PMs. Well just one. From Sliver that time. Still not even sure what that was about.

It was amusing to me. Sorry that it's lame in your opinion.

I think you might care too much about conduct on an internet forum. Particularly the off topic sub section of one that's about a hockey team. Who cares? This isn't high school. Who are we impressing, exactly?

I don't know why you feel obligated to chime in and tell people what's what. What goes on in this forum ultimately means nothing. The next day today's issues will be replaced by new conversations and new spats and between different posters. None of it matters.

The amount of effort you put into upholding imaginary standards and attempting to enforce them on other through this kind of commentary makes little sense to me. But I won't tell you what to do.

But hey, I like your posts whenever you're not eyeballs deep doing that thing that you do for whatever reason it is you do it.

That’s a lot of words on a subject that doesn’t matter to you.

What are the “imaginary standards” and how are people “attempting to enforce” them?

- You post gear grinder
- People say not gear grinder
- You complain about people saying not gear grinder
- People explain that’s how thread works

That is neither as tough nor as serious as how the conversation is playing in your head. Lighten up my guy.

I was just defending my gear (since it was poorly framed). And calling out a guy that critiques everything compulsively but never serves up his own takes. That's lame behavior.

Wut? People don't like me? That's too bad. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've been accused of a lot of things in my day, but "not having my own takes" is a new one. It's like they've never read about my weighted voting age concept. We could go into that again.

#### yeah!

I say we form a union. Then we can collectively bargain the terms of the YKWRGMG thread. Then we can expand to the YNWMMH thread and all the rest from there. We will create a workers paradise. Somehow Hoffa I mean Fuzz will become the union head because the most qualified person ended up in a shallow grave completely filled with clay.

His little henchman will be there to make sure we all live our lives as he dictates, particularly not products from PepsiCo. We must be free of that.

Then the people who claim they don't care what others think, and then expend copious amounts of e-ink defending why what we think of them is wrong, in a thread they clearly don't understand. All the while casting aspersions around which if there was a mirror or boomerang around would find their proper target.

I am happy about this post and UCB can kiss my lame ass.
