Man this not sitting here worrying about helping other members is the best. Gotta go now cause it's cocktail hour.

Glad you had a productive day but please don't stop posting! You (and other MODs) are a great source of knowledge and experience and I know I speak for many when I say MODs posts would be missed. Just one soul speaking here but when you see me post, respond!

Your Dad will never let you get your hands on that 2182, he's just going to look at you with your 1782 and laugh. Sorry bud but it is what it is. He has the Big Dog in the shed and you just have the puppy. Don't hate me I warned you.

The people that need to listen do not. They are "not at fault" because they cannot see past their nose, it is to high up in the air. The "Good Ole Boys" have spoken. They won. They will always win. They are in charge. They run everything. They stick together and only defend themselves. They are never wrong. Everything they do is correct and "best for everyone". I am not "everyone". I am 1. The same members are allowed to run freely, doing and saying as they please. Do any of you notice the same members saying the same things over and over on this thread? Defending themselves. They were not at fault. Only the accused was at fault. They did nothing wrong. The Good Ole Boys are right there backing them up.

Being here since 2011 means nothing. No loyalty to "long term" members. I do not have 1000, 2000, 5000, 9000, 12000+ posts. I am no one. I came out of the shadows yesterday and spoke my mind. Some of you listened and understood. The Good Ole Boys did not. They are better than any of us. They always will be. They were at no way at fault for anything.

Today will end the OCC chapter of my life as a poster. Hopefully some of you will look down past your noses and realize who you are stepping on. One day you may clean out your ears and listen yourself. You do seem to do a lot of talking about others not listening. Maybe you should stop talking long enough to listen to someone else that does not have the same sounding voice as you do. I am guessing you never will. The story always sounds better if it is your mouth telling it.

After I "submit reply", I will log off as Hand_108 and shall not return.

Hope they Good Ole Boys are happy.

Sincerely
John J. Hand.............................

Even though you will not be back, I have to say "my part" as well. I want to preface it by saying (and you can look back at all the threads) I, 99% of the time, didn't participate in the "dogging" of Justin. I read, I observed, and I kept quiet.

That being said, I think this is ALL blown WAAAYY out of proportion. Justin is not the innocent young lost wayward soul some believe him to be. This is the INTERNET. People like him are called trolls. He had 2 (maybe three, lost count) chances here. People like Justin post to create drama because it entertains them. Plain and simple. The mods gave him a chance, he didn't follow the rules, and got banned. He came back, begged for another chance, and got it. Then he blew it, again. So he got banned, again. Now he MAY be back again, don't know for sure yet.

But the point is, he does this to get at all of us! This thread here is a testament that what he wants, he got! We are all taking sides, MOD's are backing out of posting, some guys are taking his side, some are taking the MOD's side, and we are divided. He's sitting at home laughing about all this because we are playing into him. If this was most other sites out there, he would have gotten chewed up and spit out. But this is OCC: members here TRIED and he kept coming back to rile us up and guess what? IT WORKED, and with this thread, it is still working.

So let's drop this all, move on, and ALL of us look past our own respective noses and continue with the Cub postings we are all here about. If you leave over this "drama", have opinions, etc: post them or don't, but don't punish everyone else here by taking sides, leaving, taking sides, etc. Just DROP IT and MOVE ON. We're all adults, aren't we? Yessh guys, come on!

Now, let's carry on with our Cubs

I'm not gettin' involved in this but I can assure you, from my point of view, you are not part of the problem that has been repeated over and over here.

Other moderators/administrators would do well to follow your example. All I'm gonna' say.

[Shotgun Wedding]

Mods have nothing to apologize for. Not one bit.

We all are guests here and we all clicked the I Agree button to get in. If the scenery is not up to par, it is no ones fault. Got probs with a good ol boy, pm him or suck it up or leave. The young lads also clicked the I Agree button but felt this site should bend to their "constitutional rights" as one of them put it very eloquently in a pm to me. It does not. Have no allusions this site is anything but an Internet forum and community, it is not a democracy not do any have voting rights.

Leave, stay whatever. Friends come, freinds go. Life goes on. Drama is life, life is drama.

I've only got over 12000 posts but guys like cowdiddly with 20 know way more than I'll ever know. I'm sure he could figure out how to re-power a Euclid R27 that had an obsolete Detroit Diesel 6-110 with a custom built Cummins 350, or rebuild an Allis Chalmers 436 cone crusher that the factory said was beyond repair. I could go on and on. Reality check we are dealing with Garden tractors, not rocket science. I honestly don't care anymore, later guys.

THIS makes me very sad.

Like it or not I have to agree with Ryan in post #73 . I used to belong to a powerstroke Facebook page and a cub crazy Facebook page and (trolls) ended it for me. I'm not leaving OCC. It got wayyyyyyyyy out of hand on there! But anyhoo I think the mods do a great job on here. Jon in particular reminds me of my instructor at tech school. He was a no nonsense kind of guy and if you acted up or did something that was uncalled for he'd call you on it or have a snappy come back to put you in your place!lol anyways I think jw was trying to ruffle feathers and he did. I wanna thank all the mods for doing a great job, I'm sure it's a difficult job to do. You can't make all the people happy all the time!

[spudder]

I'd say that anyone who wanted to share their views here have done so. If this drags on, it just adds to the "drama".
It's time to move on........Please lock this thread.
