Jayco? We hardly knew ye!!! And now you're gone!

I hope you have luck starting your own Forum for wayward good Samaritans like yourself seeking a safe harbor with no rules and regulations to follow.

Remember, though, no software security protocols blocking all the Ransomeware/spyware/viruses, that would be a bridge too far for all the rugged individualists you seek.

You’re Catholic, close enough.

I was a Buddhist for a few years but yeah I’m Catholic. A good friend of mine is Sikh, we talk a lot about various religions, if I wasn’t Catholic i think I could be a Sikh, they have some very cool theology. Recently I got stuck covering 3rd shift three nights in a row which means, unless some crazy shit breaks out your hardest job is keeping yourself awake and alert, my Sikh friend hooked me up with a lot of literature, I gave myself a crash course in Sikhism and was much impressed.

Sikhs, fearsome warriors - much like our moderators.

There we are, back on track.

I'd go Rastafarian at this point.

Regarding OP, I feel that some confuse this forum with the service industry and feel they are promised/entitled to a level of satisfaction for their patronage. Mostly good people but unfamiliar with the how and why this league of extraordinary gentlepersons came about.

It's a shame to lose a potentially good member but we have so many thousands playing in our sandbox successfully that I can't help but think that the occasional outliers are the ones with issues, not the forum.

Well said @UncleBuck 👍

Now listen Jayco my old son! 👍

The moderators on this forum are not ridiculous. In fact, as a watch owning novice, I have found them to be very helpful. Now that we have dealt with that, can I draw your attention to your seeming inability to rant using, easy to read, paragraphs.

Compare your composition to the Holy Bible! See how it is divided into, easy to read, chapters and verses. Can you imagine how unreadable it would have been if Moses had ranted on like you, from Genesis through to Deuteronomy! No paragraphs, chapters, verses or fakk all? Nobody would ever have reached the book of Job!

My poor old eyes went a bit blurry half way through your post. Have a care old chap!😀

I came to this thread because I’m looking for some very specific Seamaster watch hands.

Anybody?

Well we can’t completely rule out that the mods arent ridiculous. Just because Jayco didn’t come across well doesn’t mean his whole narrative is false. I’m not saying they are I’m just saying they could be. Darn how long is my ban gonna be.

edit I guess I should point out I am do magic as a hobby and I’m a mod on a magic forum. Myself and most of the other mods are ridiculous. The owner of the site is literally the king of crazy, he did cyber security for the fed for 20 years and has a site that goofy magicians attend locked up with all kinds of crazy cyber security he tries to explain it to me usually loses me after 30 seconds.

Oh, you’re good- feel free to post a WTB....because you have well more than 200 posts....see how easy that was!

Can you be modded off for being off topic?

Maybe on some forums, but around here, it is expected behaviour. 👍

nicks · May 31, 2021

I tripped over this thread by accident. Hats off to the OP for giving it a “better take a look” title. Turned out to be a fun read.

I am slowly approaching 200 posts, which will make no difference—I won’t be selling. But I will still be glad to get there.

Does the name of your favorite of the seven dwarfs happen to begin with "G"?

Gleepy? Gneezy? Gopey? Goc? Gappy, or Gashful? Gleepy has a certain ring to it, Gappy evidently needs dental work but the adolescent in me finds excessive interest in Gashful. Hey move over Grodo, Gam, Gerry and Gippin! (Hobbits with "normal" western first names, we'll start with Gerry and invite Gordon, Gary, Greg, Grenville and Geoff.)

Was going on a three week trip to Costa Rica. Had a rain jacket with lots of pockets. I lost two Swiss Army knives going through TSA. I had no time to arrange for them to be shipped home. I console myself still with the thought that someone is putting them to good use.

It goes like this: a guy sells them to tourists outside the local burger bar. The tourist gets to the airport and gets separated from his recent acquisition. Guys in airport security drink with a guy who sells trinkets outside local burger bars. Perfect.

I can only imagine how badly the squirrel would have baited this Jayco.

Your Ok as you’re a good source of ivory if we ever need it.

For a newcomer who went on to get the arse, his first post has certainly gained some traction.
