I Was Given a Warning from the Site Team
This past Sunday evening I was given a warning by the Site Team for violating forum rules and guidelines. I got out of control and posted some not-so-friendly comments on a thread in response to some comments by another Member.
My posts caused the thread to be shut down from view while the Site Team went through it to clean it up in an attempt to salvage it. I believe this took them quite some time and effort. They also had to spend a lot of time, working together, deciding how they should deal with me. I truly regret causing the Site Team to have to spend their time to straighten-out something that I messed-up.
I also regret and apologize to everybody here for getting out-of-line and turning a good conversation into an argument for my own selfish gratification. I am sorry — It will not happen again.
I also want to thank the Site Team for not just giving me the boot and kicking me out of here for good, like they could have. I really enjoy this forum and realize that I am not the only person here that wants to be able to enjoy it. I am very happy that the Site Team decided to give me a chance to show that I am not as selfish as I appeared to be.
Thank you, all. I am sorry.
Bruce

It took guts to admit your mistake publicly. We all get testy sometime. I think the folks here do a great job of keeping things on an even keel. Seeing your post count, I sure that they felt you've been a great contributor and in the final analysis, that's what this place is all about... contributing!

We all wander down the wrong path at times and it often takes a little guidance. Glad to see you still posting and contributing to this forum. Thanks for your admissions.

Nice to have you sticking around. I think we've all been sucked into some ridiculous debate at times and lost sight of who we wanted to be. Even if we were right. Lol

Nice and very stand up of you to post this, I know there have been a few times when I typed out a reply and actually proof read it and then decide not to go thru with it and just back out of it thinking what trouble will I get myself into. Good for you and keep posting and adding great info to our community.

It takes a big person to do this! You have my respect!
I think a lot of people are suffering for cabin fever. I have noticed a higher than normal amount of snarky remarks on the forums I am a member of.

You can color me guilty also at times
When I was still working and wanted to really air something out, I'd let it all out in an email, but only send it to myself! Then I'd look at it the next morning and decide what I really wanted to send...but it felt good to get it out that way!

I have been given a warning by the site team, I can’t remember one or two. Sometimes I let my alligator mouth overload my parakeet brain. I have been known to get carried away. DW thinks I post to much, I’m beginning to think she is right.

Thanks Bruce. I have been banned from some political sites for thinking like a Democrat. It is best not to post when you have been drinking, or upset about something else. Forums provide a way to express our opinions. Make sure what you are posting is not related to something else.

I'm the Second half of the scandal and guilty of allowing words to get to me . It's very easy to get off track with a snide comment or down right mean comment . Seems to happen all to often and it also seems it chases away people from asking questions and posting comments for fear of someone jumping all over them for a post that's been discussed all ready or feeling that we're right and everybody else is wrong . It's not ok to attack someone personally when you don't truly know them. To many seem to only see one side and one way when in fact there are most always more then one way or different situations in each RV to many variables to Assume one is right all the time . anyway Sorry for my part in this and from now on it's move on

I'll just say this,... in this day and age if we could all just agree to disagree, with civility, then life would be a whole more enjoyable.

A lot of us are guilty of this, I have even had some not so nice comments typed up and then deleted them, once I even posted it then immediately edit the comment and removed the bad part. Move on and enjoy life. I was once told by my divorce lawyer (I know right, I am pretty sure she billed me for that advice  ) "Don't sweat the small stuff, and it is all small stuff", compared to some of the problems some folks are having.

When I shower each morning I pay particular attention to washing my feet. I never know when I'm going to end up with one in my mouth 
It takes a lot of character for one to step forward and apologize. It's nice to know there are people of character here

Bruce,
I didn't see that thread nor participate in it. I will say this though... we're all human and sometimes (as my father use to tell me) we need to be knocked off our white horse and brought back to earth.
Point is, don't fret it, clearly the admins thought you were worth giving another chance to.
Have a great day!
Mark

I am impressed with both you guys. So glad you have been the kind of people who like me, make mistakes. I hope I get to camp next to both of you guys.

I thought I was the only one that got talked too by the site team. I have put my foot in my mouth more than once. What I do is just send a pm and say what I want that way no one else knows what I said but one. Some things I say on the forum I regret saying, when I send a pm I don’t regret that. It would be great if we could all agree to disagree occasionally. If we all agreed there would be only be one camper model and one truck model (Ford Dually).
