Topic: Stupid Profile Missing

[CADaver]

Intentional "dissing" except in jest between friends is virtually unheard of in TheSwamp and never tolerated.

ummm.... which "Swamp" would "THAT" be??

ummm.... which "Swamp" would "THAT" be??

That would be this one right here.  I feel this place to be a very safe haven and have recommended it as such to several people who have subsequentially become members.  There is a lot of banter between folk who respect each other, but very little outright meanness and it seems like quick action is taken when this does occur with either administrative action or more likely, the of fendeer being called out by another member.  If anywhere near the level of mutual respect members of TheSwamp have for each other were present in the Autodesk Newsgroups or augi, I would post in both far more frequently than I do here.  As in any family, which I think TheSwamp essentially is, there will always be moments of discord.  Very few of these incidents result in more than a temporary exchange rather than permanent hard feelings.  Of late there HAVE been at least two members leave very publicly, but that is not what I have found to be "normal" at TheSwamp.  If you have some observations that show me to be in error, I would be pleased to discuss them with you.

  Oh you just made him perk up quicker than if someone yelled "Ferret recipes!  Get your Ferret recipes!"

Dudes... get a room or something...
This thread was originally about my missing settings and whatnot.

CAN"T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!?!
 

[Dinosaur]

. . . CAN"T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!?!

Look and learn . . . I think we are all getting along famously.  Randy and I may not realize it yet, but we are both coming from the same direction with only a slight difference in path keeping us from realizing it.    A debate with CADaver is an experience to be savored (well, after the fact anyway) and while joining in may not be the best idea for the faint of heart, some of the best threads to be found in TheSwamp were started by or morphed into one of these debates.

I had bait hit real hard before, but that was the best yet, and fast.

Uh,oh . . . Randy is writing a thesis . . . I may be extinct DinØ walking.

I was just saying very nearly the same thing in another thread this afternoon, but what do I know.

Savored?? hmmm... That's an opinion that may not be shared by all, but I know what you mean.
Some of the best?? With that I have to agree, even those where I was handed my keester, but then I may be biased... may be.

Fooled ya'

I saw it . . . I wasn't going in unarmed . . .

. . . Savored?? hmmm... That's an opinion that may not be shared by all, but I know what you mean . . .

If nothing else, it is great mental exercise . . . I am installing Civil 3D 2007 and Vault quite soon and have grown slow and soft trying to kick this bronchitis / pneumonia hybrid.  I was fishing for a tuneup to help get my edge back before tackling that monster.

Even observers on the sidelines get drawn in at times and start having and expressing real opinions which sometimes nail down the whole topic.  I enjoy watching what may start out as an afterthought perhaps even posted "by accident" take hold and eventually mature into a real original idea or opinion as others press and question its ramifications.  The best part is all you have to do is pay attention and you will learn and whether you win or lose the topic, if you learn something, you have won.

. . . Fooled ya'

OK, I concede

Ahh Forewarned is forearmed

The only exercise I get..

Ain't it cool??

Oh, too quick.

[Dinosaur]

Oh, too quick

No, you have a better one started elsewhere and you did fool me.  I thought you would at least try to invent some flaw to expose in my opening statement.  I just got into this thread to assure our friend that TheSwamp was not a hostile place and then I went and spooked him myself.  I think now he has the idea that this was all for the joy of it and not the opening shots of battle.

Who me?? "INVENT" a flaw?? Naw, not me.  I just expose that ones that are already there.

Well somebody had to do it sooner or later, right?

True, and maybe he's got a clue what those opening shots might look like so he can recognize 'em later.
