Look what happened over the years with the last site and the ones prior to it. Many folks just up and left due to nasty posts. Good folks who just got wore out.

but the A-hats plumb wore all the fun out of it. It's true that most BBS are much better policed than they used to be. Still, for some reason the invulnerability of the keyboard and opaqueness of the computer screen still engages perfectly likable folks into rough house abuse of one another.

Oddly enough, tho i haven't met all that many of the SAA and lever fans, they almost all have been pretty good face to face. I count 'em as worthwhile assets in a world short on such ideas as common civility.

I'd bet we've all had - and engaged - in enough cyber rudeness to last a lifetime. When you find a nice quiet place filled with knowledge people, it sure seems a shame to drag anger and ill words into it. But...that's all up to the reader and his keyboard.

As Willie Lee, my long gone mentor at a wood stripping shop once said, "It don' be's who you is; it's how you be's."

I couldn't agree more. Thanks for posting this.

Been too long since we sat across from each other at the table, Amigo. Hope you & your family are doing well.

I hang out at one forum which has essentially NO moderation regarding language, interaction with other members, etc. If we want to call each other 12-syllable cusswords and arrange a fist-fight at the yearly get-together, it's cool. Same with images... within legal limits, post whatever you want. If somebody gets too stupid, the matter is 'self-policed' for lack of a better term.

You'd think it would be awful; but what actually exists there is the raw but good natured camaraderie you find in lumber yards, fishing boats, construction sites and anywhere else men exist in their natural state. To me it proves the futility of trying to tell other people how to think, act or spel. LOL

swing by MO. for a visit?

You'd be welcome. Let me know the CSA date/location this year & we'll do our damndest to get there. We've missed too many.

This is the last one TR is hosting.

Email Jason for details. If you need his address I'd be happy to PM it to you.

I'd like to meet you and shake your hand.

We'll plan on it.

The last one TR is hosting? or the last one period?
