You know what guys, I've posted almost 6,700 things on this Forum. Most of it is rubbish I know and I thought by contributing something would be worthwhile to help with the passing of time. It provided me with a lot of pleasure reading things from many fans. I have not been critical and tried to make sense with most of my posts but today, I truly feel betrayed and offended by one guy who posted "Once again the quality of posts on this forum is approaching moronic."
I've followed the Dragons since 1959. Don't I deserve some credit? Well that post by since77 has put me right off and no amount of urging to stay part of the Forum will get me back to being keen to write stuff again. I might keep looking at things but why waste my time adding any comment??
What's missing in this world is often simple respect.
Some demand it without earning, nor showing it, themselves.
Despite me being a Junior on this forum, you DD have earnt such respect. You're passionate, sometimes a ranter, sometimes thoughtful, clever, even cranky, but can still laugh at yourself.
If we were all the same the world would be bloody boring.
Other people make themselves feel more powerful or important by putting someone else down.
It may provide them with a short term rise in self esteem, but diminishes their respect from others. They end up total Narcissists
So chin up DD. It's them with the problem - not you.
