* Its gone from amusing, trudged through boring and is now firmly entrenched in annoying and off-putting.
There is obviously more than one way to skin or sharpen a cat and thats after you've argued if the cat needs sharpening in the first place, and whether to hold the cat freehand or in a gold plated jig.
By all means reply to questions of 'how do I sharpen this? etc, after all thats the main purpose of the forum, the sharing of information gleaned from years of doing, the imparting of knowledge to those wanting to learn. A bit of banter and playful poking at and joking with others adds to the mix to create a friendly community, hopefully welcoming more and more to the fold as time goes by.
The constant trolling and digging at others that have a different opinion of how to do things is enough to put anyone off.
If you dont agree with something by all means state your reasons but then agree to disagree and move on.
Sly digs at the other camp to provoke an argument can be IGNORED by said camp, be the better man, let it go! and get on with other things more productive or worthwhile of your time.
FFS go and do some woodworking!
The main protagonists have been warned. They have been temporarily banned. They pull their necks in for five minutes and then return to handbags a short time later. It will inevitably end up with permanent bans.
The disappointing thing is that these people have a great deal of knowledge and have helped many with their advice and experience but it is marred with all the petty childlike bickering.
So the next time the wasps nest is poked, walk away. Be the better person.
* I say the above not as a MOD but as me, a bloke in a shed, in my sanctuary, away from all the cr*p in the world, sometimes needing guidance and others expertise to improve my woodworking skills, enjoy my hobby and stay sane. I can do without petty bickering and one-upmanship, there's enough of that about elsewhere in the world.
