Branch line/ISL

[ezdays]

Brakie, I'm curious. I would regard two of your statements in the post above as personal attacks: that I'm "way off base", and that I have an "obvious dislike" of ISLs. Personal attacks are usually frowned on in forums. You're a moderator here and on otrher forums, yet you yourself make personal attacks, and in the past, you've sent me abusive e-mails.

Who moderates the moderators?

Mikey and I moderate the moderators when we think they need to be, and all tell you, it's been a long, long time since we've had to do that. Since we are talking about opinions here, it seems as if a few people have strong opinions on just what a ISL should be. Why is one opinion more right than the other? If you think that you are personally being attacked by Brakie or anyone else because they are voicing their opinion, then they can think they are being attacked as well, and we know that's not really true. Why do we need to argue so strongly when we know it's a fight that no one can win. If the definition of a ISL was in the constitution, then perhaps we could take this issue to the Supreme Court, but it's not. You won't even find it in the dictionary. This battle has been fought before and there are no winners, only hurt feelings. I suggest that each be satisfied with what you think, and that you all are true to your opinions, and not try to think that others have to agree with you.

Hey, it's a hobby folks, I've always had the opinion that it's my world that I'm creating and if it doesn't look prototypical, but I like it, that's all that counts. If I can't run sessions, big deal, I hate running sessions anyway. And if I don't like even running trains, so what? Regardless of how big or how small a layout is, as long as we are happy with our efforts, who cares how others do things????
