To the MLS,
I'm sure I will be making a few dreams come true tonight. Anyway there was a famous Mopar drag race car called "Color Me Gone" that raced in the NHRA sanctioned drag racing in the early 60's. Yep I have some knowledge of old Mopars also. What does that have to do with trains. Nothing, but I can say that MLS can "Color Me Gone". Too many sore heads from Train Board and a few opposing people to one post who continue to bash me and a webmater who condones those actions. I must say I have never seen one subject post cause so much choas on any one board like this before.
So here you go........what most of you have been waiting for...........
You can close my account
Delete My posts
As Del Tapparo said to me on Train Board I'm outta here
Now those who bashed me and opposed my posts you can go back to your own small minded little world
To those who supported me and were kind I thank you and hope to see you in my group
I could say it's been great but that would be a lie
See Ya
EMD Trainman
USA Trains all the way < one last hit as I leave..........yeah baby

Ah.
NoParts.
When Uncle Henry fired the Dodge Brothers and Walter P., he shoulda shot 'em, right?
Oh, well.
I try to avoid all the stuff anymore....personalities are personalities, and what you write doesn't have any "personal" touch to it....that's all of us.
Have fun! |

who knows?
but i'll miss his experience.
i remember, when i started in G-scale back in '70, i revered people's knowledge, who were just two years longer in the hobby, than I had been.
and now we lose over ten years of experience of a specialist... |

All I can say is WOW... I've been a member here for a little while, and I'm a member on a number of Forums of various subjects, and I can tell you in my 12+ yrs on the internet I've never seen someone cause such a stir then leave. Usually they quite down, are put in their place by a mod..etc, etc... Sometimes people just get to bent out of shape over the things that don't matter, and butt hurt over some thing said through a piece of glass with flickering lights.
But there are a select few individuals that roam the net praying on forums and stirring up trouble, they get kicks out of pissing off people through glass and creating an everlasting memory. How petty... Oh well we have his posts for a year and those that joined his group can here his sermon anytime they wish. In the end all that really matters is the happiness of the trains owner, regardless if Aristocraft, LGB or USA trains put the smile on your face.
Were better off...

I don't think any one should leave, you just move in slowly and "feel" your way around.
I try other sites usually but watching and visiting for awhile before I ever log on.
I have been invited by others to visit sites , but I usualy don't stick around enough to get to know any one. |

No need to go.
Ok, so came on strong and ruffled some feathers.
I agree with Shad's statement, about some unwarranted heat.
Stay, settle in, have fun.

EMD
I like what you are doing with USAT products. I had no idea that Charlie has produced 500 wood sided reefers. My guess would have been 100-200. It is probably my computer skills, but I couldn't get into your data base to learn more about the USAT products, of which I have a number and would enjoy learning more about them.
You have fallen into a problem that takes time to solve. A very good friend of mine told me when I first became active in MLS not to be surprised if you were ignored for a while. It takes time to become accepted into this group.
This is a site where members fall into several broadly defined groups: A, Those who have been in the hobby for many years and through that experience can offer assistance to others. These individuals have the respect of most of the members.
B, Those who are new to the site or new to the hobby. They hope to move up to group A by adding to the overall knowledge base of the hobby. They have to show through posts that they have the knowledge, skills, and experience to move up to group A. This takes time and in some cases communication skills. I have been in the hobby for over 30 years and for the first several years I was trying to participate on MLS I killed many threads with my posts. I don't know whether my posts were so right on or considered so off the wall, that any further discussion of the topic STOPPED.
C, Those who just read and watch hoping to learn something that will help them with their hobby. I think, that had you put in a simple post stating that you were developing a data base regarding all USAT products and were inviting input with an easily accessible site, your reception would have been very different.
Respect on this site is something that comes through time, to expect otherwise is to be disappointed. Unfortunately, what I persieve as your "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" approach has created problems that otherwise might have been avoided. I wish you the best with your USAT project and I hope that sometime I will be able to view it. Chuck N.

EMD,
My father always taught me that respect was something that had to be earned, and could never be demanded.
Good luck, sorry to see you go.

Dang, and I missed all the fun!
Sorry, but to me, folks who raise a stink, try to pick a fight, then skedaddle when they GET one tend to be lumped with the other trolls.
Most self-professed 'experts' irritate the crap out of folks for a reason. Usually too much book learnin' or arcane trivia, and not enough people skills. So ya stuck your foot innit... well, THEN PULL IT OUT! Getting your panties in a bunch because somebody else questioned you is not a way to move forward - on a forum, or in life. Remember this simple fact: If you're both shouting, then neither of you are listening.... and both are at fault. Also trite but true; Opinions ARE like arseholes - everybody has one, and the other guy's usually stinks.... but so probably does yours.
In short, lighten up, you'll live longer. |

Very interesting.
Mr. Holier than thou USAT comes in with lots of great information and proclaims his royalness.
Obviously he expected all of us to bow down to his royal know it allness
Claims the jabs don't effect him.
Yet, after Shad tries to get him to tone it down a bit, he turn tail and runs.
Color me Gone?
More like Color me stuck on myself.
Yea the info was great, but MLS doesn't need any Primadonnas.
You looking for someone to worship you, open your own church of the USAT.

What The Fargo????
Guess this is what happens when I spend time working on my layout and not trawling every thread on the forum.
I've never understood the logic behind a very public Bon Voyage, If I ever get POed, bored or disillusioned with any forum I'll just stop posting one day and that would be it...no drama, no fuss, no egos bruised or stroked egos, but then thats just me. |

Let's see............
In approximately a 30-hour period, "EMD Trainman" comes aboard with a chest-puffing introduction, proceeds to robo-post using a flame thrower and leaves as "Color Me Gone" when his own fingers get burned.
Interesting, very interesting. |

Do you have any idea who I am?
At all?
I did shake your hand, and didn't even poke you in the nose.

If anyone is STILL interested in EMD trainman, you might want to click this link to his website. The man could have some major medical problems that is affecting how he deals with people. Might be worth a look for everyone involved here. Read the post dated November 5th, posted by him, called "Down and out".
