HI:
I need to start off by saying that whatever the changes ,that this site has undergone , I will remain loyal and try to follow the rules. I for one , of course build ships , I also do a few ARMOR pieces and the occassional AIRCRAFT . What I don,t understand is this .YES , I have been somewhat peeved about grammatacists ripping my posts.
With perseverence I have tried to correct that .Now , as to posting of NUDE females and CURSING .I was always told there are other words that convey the same thing , and they are NOT offensive ! If I want to see a NUDE female that is NOT NOSE ART on a WW 2 bomber I'll go to the PLAYBOY site ! This is NOT the place for that !
All who read this may think I am taking the " company " line here and , you know what , I don't care ! I think that KALMBACH deserves to set rules for this site and any others they may have . They just have provided US with a way to SHARE MODELING skills and info .
When you decide you want a free for all on line then there is something basically wacked about that . I can express myself without offending , I think , Most of the readers and responders . To me there is a lack of courtesy today that permeats ALL levels of society .YES , I miss MANNY and others .I got a kick out of 90% of his posts .He obviously did something he shouldn't have . I don't know the story , so , I won't speculate .
Personally , I , as an old man and a very old model builder , I am Grateful , YES , Grateful to have this site to come to . I go to other sites and many are NOT here in the states . I would rather communicate with the modelers here.At least they are familiar with what we have here in the way of models , supplies , and refferrence material .
So that said I have to go to work . TIM , AARON , you may NOT always be right in the eyes of some , BUT , you have my respect and loyalty . Tanker-builder.
