Title: opinion's from experience
Post by: robertglines1 on November 20, 2009, 08:03:42 AM
I have found a lot of good ideals and discussions on board;but have found that I have gotten to involved and have stepped on some toes so will step back now...buses are good .....friends are more important!

I looked over your posts to see what you were talking about.  I sure didn't see anything.  Real friends wear safety shoes, don't worry about their toes.

I've had some pretty serious disagreements here, both on and off topic.  Sure hope we are still friends.

Its a sad sign of the times when it is no longer OK to disagree.  If I think somebody has said something stupid then I'll tell him so to his face or online.  That doesn't mean I dislike the person or that my version of the truth is necessarily correct.  It just means I disagree.  It can progress to meaning that I think the person in question is a fool or an asshole but it certainly doesn't have to.

Robert, I don't see where you are stepping on anyones toes not mine for sure we all do it different ways on this so called hobby man I hate that term hobby.
As a Eagle owner it takes a lot to hurt my toes LOl keep posting someone will use that information from you.
My point about the slides was not to tell you it could not be done and the point you made about research was very good advice.  
If I offended you I am very sorry that was not my intent but when you are older than dirt you will amazed at the things you see and what people have done to these poor old buses LOL  
My comment about the Prevost slides came from first hand experience Prevost had to buy back my XL after 3 years of trying to fix their screw up and after that circus I don't go near a slide.



good luck

Bob,
Well, all I have to say is "welcome to the club, Pal!" LOL  Feeling as if we put a foot in our mouth is just part of having to communicating by BB rather than in person and eye to eye.  I'm sure most of us would prefer that; call it the unending bus rally.  That would be fun.  Don't worry, be happy!  I have winced at a couple of my own posts, too.

Bob,

I second what Dennis said, plus some.

I continue to be amazed when I actually meet people from the BBS that I have either had discussions with or listened to read for years.

In "my" minds eye some are exactly as I pictured and some totally the opposite in person.

I have met several who sounded like a hard a$$ on the BBS and are as pleasent as could be in person.

Its all in there "phraseology"

Don't sweat it!    :-\

Bob quit worrying about stepping on toes!

Besides with those cute little fuzzy bunny slippers you were it don't hurt noway!

Now when you start wearing steel toe boots like I do and jumping up and down with all 300+ lbs. like I do you might bruise some once in a while. ;D

C'mon, Bob.

No sweat, no gain. I have offended some on here (usually not about buses though ;)), and there are just a few that I have on my ignore list (but since Frank is now a mod, he is off that list ;D :D :D ;D, Just kidding, Frank). Don't worry about it, and keep rolling on.

I have liked a lot of your posts, so stick around.

God bless,

John

Engine, motor, ;D, yadda yadda, it is all good. I know there are a lot of opinions, and different strokes for different folks. Some can come off gruff, but they are really as good as gold. My dad, who passed away last yr at 97, was always that way, and I know he offended many. But,,,,,you wouldnt find anyone who was more willing to help anyone, anytime. I hate to see anyone who is leary of giving their opinion, or advice, because they are worried about stepping on toes. In the end, we all have to decide what is right for us, and what our pocket book allows. ::)  Just my opinion,lol.

Robert, did you get some private mail from someone?

Never mind that, you post in public, those who criticize need to have the courage to do so as well.

Please, if you don't mind, keep posting your thoughts?

happy coaching!

I always seem to generate a mix of reactions both positive and negative, I learn from both sides of the discussion, usually negative but thats cause I'm a slacker and get accused of stirring the pot quite often, being naturally shy and innocent I generally overlook that aspect of the situation cause it has to be a case of mistaken identity. lol  I'm far from perfect, as a matter of fact I have distant memories from when I was only perfect, but thats another topic lol, I met you at BK's and thought that you were a decent person with a working mind and a great bus, what more could there be in life that mattered? Just keep posting and let the chips fall where they may, we just can't all agree all the time. lol. I have always felt that other people have the right to be wrong as many times as they choose lol.  ;D ;D ;D
