Re: Bachmann Spectrum Building Molds Destroyed?

You can't fault the guy for starting the thread. How many of us care about 100% of the threads here? If you can't add something positive or productive to the thread don't respond. That's really al it takes is a little discipline. When a guy gets on here and starts shooting off his mouth making accusations about starting rumors or whatever is when the threads turn nasty. I hate seeing that. It should be a friendlier hobby then this. I'll bet a lot of guys don't post because of the negative responses they might get.

Like many threads here it was a simple question that should have had a simple answer. It's when people start reading too much into the question and start trying to read the mind of the original poster and then start typing away mindlessly where the trouble starts.

Who cares? Well I kind of do. I like knowing what is going on in the hobby. It makes no sense to me that a company would destroy newer molds. If it were true, which I highly doubt, then it would be interesting to know about. I like those buildings and if the molds are gone I might try to find some of the kits on eBay or a train show.

By the way did we kind of conclude that it is nonsense that the molds were destroyed?

Mr Rathburne,

It sounds reasonable to me. Apologizing would be warranted. You did jump all over him for something he did not write.

Let's try to make this a friendly hobby.

I did.

It's you guys that are being negative.

Hey Mr. Genius, ever read Proctor posts or are you just clueless too?

Hey, I read somewhere a rumour that you are really made of manure, anybody read that too? There, that sentence makes the same sense as the original post here, but it must be true right? You think the other one is so this follows the same way.

Man o man, someone is off the bottle. You need to learn how to read period before attempting to write anything. This is jibberish. Get back on the hard stuff and try again.

Hey Mr Ratspew, could you _try_ to spell my name correctly?

Regards, Greg.Procter.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that. You have to understand I am one sick mother. You all know it and now I admit it. I hate everyone and they hate me.

Just make sure they are the Green ones... Sheep can't see them in the long Grass!

Or someone really full of it. Thank Goddess he isn't threatening to spread the brown stuff around - he's really full of that!

Goddess? There's a Goddess on the newsgroup? Where is she?

Isn't this where the voice-over says "there can be only one"?

Ever woken up and thought "it's going to be one of those days..."?

Nice post.

Unfortunately It's like Han Solo drawing a blaster on Darth Vader. The best shot of your entire ever probably won't work.

I've been RMRing since 1999 and Commissar Rathburne has been pretty much like this since then.

I've come to think of him as RMR's version of the Whack-a-Mole arcade game.

Everytime he pops up with one of his inane post I look for a handy mallet.[and I don't mean a locomotive :-]

Jim Stant "You are the type of person that turns people off to the hobby. Your attitude and ever increasing hostility here reflect negatively on you and this newsgroup as a whole. On rare occasion you make a post that sounds thoughtful and insightful. At this point I can only assume you share your computer with someone and they are the one who makes those posts. Because of your immature posts you have no credibility and are quite frankly just a pest. Perhaps you get off on being a pesky gnat and making your lack of education known to all. I don't know what your problem is, I have little experience diagnosing the mentally ill, but I do hope you seek treatment before you hurt yourself."

You'd just be compounding the problem.

Maybe we should just be more articulate? Why don't we ask him to consolidate his position and re-state it for us?

Little school geek #2........

Little school geek #4. Didn't you learn after getting your ass kicked regularily as a kid? You need treatment to teach you that now that you are grown up, you can't go back and fix your life that led you to be this huge loser you turned out to be............

OH Praise the Lord for the delete button.
