I will never forget one day I was reading Jennifer's thread and she made a post referring to how she wanted her thread to be as clean and familiar as possible because she wanted her family to read it when she was gone and I always remember that to defend this thread tooth and nail, although I don't get offended easily I thank you very much, the same goes for @smitten with ocean life who also wrote at the time, yes I was very bothered by his/her lack of respect more than me towards the thread and that could not be allowed, I was going to resolve the situation privately like I did last time but I should have acted a little earlier, sorry for that and for letting it go on longer than I should have
I'm pretty sure it was just a young kid. He was more annoying than disrespectful. As soon as he turned disrespectful I reported it. You did nothing wrong, nothing to apologize for.
 
As I mentioned, he's done similar in other threads without being disrespectful.

Ya Amanda and I were private messaging and I said he/she is probably a juvenile, 12-13 yo. That’s the vibe I got.

So did the boot him completely or just chat with him on the side? I didn’t want to fuel him more.

There you go Paul, stirring the pot!

As far as I can tell they just removed him from this thread.

No worries #1.
I'm pretty naive so I just figure everyone has their act together until they don't.
That means sometimes I let things go a bit longer than they should as well.
 
sounds like I got a good one
I'd like to think so Jimmy.
All I run is jebaos.
Returns, wavemakers.
Never had an issue.
All my backup pumps are the eheims I replaced because they were just so loud.
Once you hear the silence, you never go back.
 
how many cars?
One 15 passenger van and a 14' cargo trailer. Staying in an AirBnB tonight. The vise grip jury rig held. I'll replace the heater core after the trip.
 
I know this fantastic restaurant in Sandpoint, best in the state if not the country or world. You can’t go there and not eat there plus you’ll meet the founder of this thread @00W , our favorite all around great guy Joel.
Oh really?? 😉
