Title: Open letter.
Post by: Trampship Man on June 11, 2010, 15:26:45


Although I only recently became `active` in Ship Sim Forum, I am already of a mind to `sail off into the sunset`, though I shall continue to enjoy Ship Sim.
      I imagined that the forum would be somewhere for members to exchange views, discuss `ship sim` and maybe other topics of interest, help each other out, have a laugh with or even at each other, and even maybe poke a bit of good natured fun at each other.      Now, I do accept that in my short time with you all, I did manage to [unintentionally] disturb a couple of people. [apologies were made].  This was probably because I have always been a `tell it like it is` sort of bloke, and my approach can sometimes perhaps be regarded as `a bit on the blunt side`, though NEVER deliberately nasty or malicious.     
      I get the impression that the majority of members are youngsters, which of course is to be expected since the forum IS of course `based` or founded on a computer game.   Some of those youngsters are just great, for example IRISHJACK who `comes across` as a very discerning, bright, and pleasant young man.  `Good for you `IRISHJACK` !
      However, I already find that some members appear to have no sense of humour whatsoever,  whilst others
seem to want to do no more than to look for opportunities to criticize or `snipe` at fellow members.  Sad really !
      It is good of course that there ARE members who warrant respect and appreciation for their courtesy and endless readiness to be of help.  To name just a few for example people like Angus `Traddles`, Marty `mvsmith`, and of course good old `Mad Fred`.  My personal thanks to these guys !
      Maybe I`m getting a little over sensitive in my old age, or maybe I REALLY AM just a `dinosaur` !            As I sail off into the sunset, there just maybe someone out there who may want to say "NO loss" or something 
like. If so, then please don`t. !                                                                                                              It would be better to channel your efforts more constructively !

Regards to all,
Ken.

Hi
Moderators do and have a sense of homour but have to consider if it is suitable
for members as young as 7 years old if it is taken out it would be for this reason
most likely.

TM, the answer is simple, join in with the forum, have your laugh and your good natured fun and just ignore the idiots.  Problem solved.

Hi Clanky,    Meant to give you a bell before now, but you will already have gathered that I had second thoughts.
Your comment of course was just `common sense`.   I guess I was maybe having a `bad day`.
Regards,   Ken.

We all have bad days from time to time, I am lucky, I have deck officers to take my frustrations out on! :D

My sympathies are `on deck`,  but I`m refusing to get into that one !
