From reviewing the first page, the first people to respond did indeed stick to the subject matter and try to answer the OPs questions.BillT wrote:When someone becomes a "Senior Member" are they ordained? Crowned? Sworn in? Seated on the Bench?
Apparently in writing the post the OP made a newby mistake and used a two letter abbreviation for cow manure. He didn't realize his mistake(violation) at the time but it was unintentional. However, that has set the tone for a number of Senior members to offer unsolicited morale advice and judgment of the OP that was never asked. To say someone has not ever been convicted of something unless they were guilty is pure ignorance, especially here in Texas. In the early 70's, myself and 3 friends where "shaken down" by a DPS trooper and a County Judge in West Texas. I was not arrested and I committed no crime, but it emptied my wallet. It was all bogus and illegal but it happened. The OP offered no details of the alleged crime other than to say it was not legitimate. He did not solicit advice related to his activities or circle of friends. I will assume he is a law abiding citizen unless I know otherwise and I don't. I will leave judgement to God. Maybe Senior Members should to! Let's stick to the topic and question asked...
When he came back with a sarcastic "yall are geniuses", people started offering a little unsolicited advice.
Newbies shouldn't be, and for the most part aren't, afraid to ask questions here. But a little politeness gets a member, senior or otherwise, a lot farther than sarcasm does when it comes to getting your questions answered.
