I have decided to give you the answer you deserve..............
sub cilla, I believe your response is spot-on-target, IMHO.
Let me reply for the record and then inquire regards your response.
1. Had all concerned dealt only with the original question, the chaos and conflict would not have ensued.
2. I am not requesting that the bro who thincks he's fucking Chachi play chess.
The 'appeal' to him was tongue in cheek. I need no such relief. I was twisting the thread a bit with reference to YMMV antagonists had posted (it is better than refering to an old thread that became a Yo Momma riot; and WW's family picture of his birth taken just as the doctor was about to slap his bottom.)
3. Let me now inform those concerned that this morning I truely believe that YMMV. Every effort should be made to protect ourselves from these vicious whores who give varied service depending on whether they had cheerios for breakfast or an egg mcmuffin.
I had sought through humor and levity to make my opinion known. you did not respond until this was well into its first life. So I consider it too little too late and have declined to cintunie, because I don't want to offend anyone. This is not a ploy. Having received numerous Pms on this subject, I have asked others to tell me what my positions should be. The definition is illusive. I wish all of you well in your endeavors, and I would ask you to have patience with my verbose nature. All further communications on this matter will be taken in a more seriuos light by me.
I want to grow in the hobby and reach out in other corners of this large playground in which to play.
4. bro who thincks he is fucking Chachi, your assessment and response are right on target, IMHO.
Let me affirm and recapitulate:
4.1. I concur with your judgment.
4.2. I spoke with levity about serious matters pertinent to the hobby community as a whole without forethought.
4.3. The whole YMMV thing came when a certain person posted a position a bit contrary to yours, but then again quite similar. It was similar in its suggestion to always give your best.
4.4. The conflict erupted as I redirected the converstaion to levity, suggesting, 'YMMV is for the lazy hobbyist' is not forthcoming to the complaint?' Then the shit hit the fan so to speak.
May I ask you the same question that you posed to me?
'What do you think I should do to improve my YMMV?'
Before posting this thoughtful question, I have asked some of my PA brethren in private what they thought, and almost to a man they said, 'You should ask the bro who thincks he's fucking Chachi to show you the way.' I accepted that recommendation and considered how best to proceed. Blunt? or subtle? Blunt usually makes a person defensive. Subtle usually has a better chance of persuading for change.
I chose a more bluntly subtle, civil course, asking a general question of the bro who thincks he's fucking Chachi, seeking general answers or even specific examples from other bros who thinck they are fucking Chachi who wished to chime in to shed light on the topic.
I knew that the bro who thincks he's fucking Chachi would see it, and hoped that perhaps he and others so motivated might take the request conveyed as cry for enlightenment, 'a request to the wise' that he should do some educating for the sake of this enterprise.
I know I might become a target for the haters' cheap shots. Nothing new there. They are laughably lame in their predictability.
Not everyone will concur with this summary or approach to the issue. Some will complain that it is too long. I suppose reading is not their strength, nor logic, and would wish me to insert some connect-the-dots-pix for them to draw and color. You cannot please everyone and I do not care to try.
But I wonder what are the bro who thincks he's fucking Chachi thoughts regarding YMMV in regards to complaints like mine?
What might be the next step toward an YMMV provider?
And at what point do you as a bro who thincks he's fucking Chachi of some note and reputation think one of your counterparts might merit being schooled in your knowledge of YMMV?
Please, I am sincerely curious regards your constructive perspective.
If you prefer we can continue this dialogue by PM.
