I'm very glad ToyKeeper is a member here.

And, in general, I think women are better than men.

I'm sure there are a good number of the fairer sex here that don't want to say that they're female because women are many times not treated with respect, especially online.

I don't think Boaz was hating on women, however, despite his non-politically-correct mini-rant.

Hey I represent that remark!

One of the things that makes BLF special is the relatively unique relationship with commercial and semi-commercial entities. (I hesitate to use the word “people” even if I am a member of that group.) Many small solo operations and custom makers were started by normal enthusiasts with mere sig lines.

I think people in general suck (edit: nah, that’s too harsh, sorry), but i still love them and i can’t live without them. :slight_smile:

Not in my experience.
Certainly not on BLF.

He’s just tired of the PC culture and the divisions it has brought, i.m.o.

Stumbled on this

Jerromel Social Justice Warrior. Not Me Sir. I simply enjoy civility rather than ranting idiocy. An a-hole is a part of the body but not everyones most enjoyed. Most men I have associated did not need to chest thump and blather to seek someone to respect their opinion. Lots of the rip the newbies cannot remember being newbies. Or perhaps they have always been as good as they are now.That is a very real possibility. Anyway ths can be argued ad nauseum because every one has an opinion and an a-hole and just like mine most of them stink. Forgive any misspelling. English is my native language but I have only been blowing my mouth off for 56 years. Some have far more experience.

As a thought I also would like to say this forum lets me enjoy humans of all sorts from lands and experiences I will never see in my lifetime.

Some non-humans too :smiley:

Wait I resemble that comment. :smiley:

Sorry if you thought i implied it.
It was just a ‘maybe’ suggestion to look at it from another angle.

Yeah, but some people just rant idiocy sometimes, or make it sound idiotic or over the top.
Point is, offence can be given, but it can also be taken.
Some people may offend, but some people are easily offended.

Can’t live without it though. :wink: :smiley:

Or maybe they have learned to behave by being ripped a few times.
Ripping obnoxious noobs (again, there are only a few of them, 90% or more are cool) has a purpose, when they “have it coming”.

Well, i think it’s good to discuss these things every now and then.
Boaz has some points i can relate to, and so do you and others.

Yeah roger that. Stick and carrot possibilities should be used. At Goodyear we sometimes had to settle things that way. Some got it through words and some had to go to the basement. Mighty dark down there. Noisy too! You are absolutely correct about discussion. My way of expressing my thoughts can be quite direct and may seem offensive. Hope not! This is really one of the best discussion forums around. So much knowledge so freely shared. Out of line folks should be corralled often for their own good. If they won’t take instruction then they won’t stay around.

(Boʹaz) [possibly, In Strength].
A landowner of Bethlehem in Judah, “a man mighty in wealth” of about the 14th century B.C.E. (Ru 2:1) Boaz was the son of Salma (Salmon) and Rahab, and he was the father of Obed. (Mt 1:5) He was a link in the family line of the Messiah, the seventh in line of descent from Judah. (1Ch 2:3-11; Lu 3:32, 33) How this very unusual turn of events came about, allowing Boaz to be included in the genealogy of Jesus, is preserved for us in the book of Ruth.
Boaz had a close relative named Elimelech, who, along with his two sons, died leaving no male heirs. Of the widows of the two sons, one, Ruth, stuck by Elimelech’s widow Naomi. It was harvesttime, and Ruth was gleaning “by chance” in the field belonging to Boaz. (Ru 2:3) Now Boaz was a true Judean, a devout worshiper of Jehovah. Not only did he greet his harvesters with “Jehovah be with you,” but, after observing Ruth’s loyalty toward Naomi, he also said to her, “May Jehovah reward the way you act, and may there come to be a perfect wage for you from Jehovah.” (Ru 2:4, 12) When Ruth reported these things to her mother-in-law, Naomi exclaimed: “Blessed be he of Jehovah . . . He is one of our repurchasers.” (Ru 2:20) Furthermore, when the harvest ended, Naomi explained to Ruth the customary way of bringing this matter to Boaz’ attention. As Boaz was sleeping at his threshing floor, he awakened to find Ruth lying down at his uncovered feet, asking that he repurchase Elimelech’s estate by levirate marriage. (See BROTHER-IN-LAW MARRIAGE.) Ruth was to be the substitute for Naomi, who was beyond the age of childbearing. Wasting no time, Boaz the next morning summoned another kinsman more closely related, but this person, referred to in the Bible only as So-and-so, refused to comply with the divine arrangement. Boaz, however, was quick to do so and took Ruth as his wife, with the blessing of the townspeople. She bore him a son named Obed, the grandfather of King David.—Ru 3:1–4:17.
Throughout the account, from his first kind greeting to the workers to his acceptance of the responsibility for preserving the family name of Elimelech, Boaz is observed to be an outstanding man—*a man of action and authority yet having good self-control, faith, and integrity, being generous and kind, morally chaste,* and fully obedient to Jehovah’s commandments in all respects.

I am glad this Boaz didn’t rip Ruth a new one!! Not written in Greek I barely do English!

Dam…………and here I am thinking all this time that Boaz was Bo from Arizona. ’Course I never bothered to ponder that Birthplace of Aviation part in his avatar. I just figured it was about Davis-Monthan AFB.

Will wonders EVER cease?

PS. This revelation doesn’t surprise me that he has a deevine origin. Honestly way back when, I first thought he was from Moscow, Russia cuz of the red Sputnik looking thing.

:person_facepalming:

Sorry about the aftermath. :frowning:

And if you doubleclick, it strobes you.

Well, you can count on it, maybe helpful with the math. :stuck_out_tongue:

Toykeeper no apology needed! It’s us blowhards emitting hot air from both ends. If I could follow your example and thought pattern, there would be no shutting me up. I and all here really appreciate all you do for us even if you are a GIRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLL. Calvin and Hobbes reference!! this is in jest if not good taste. I learn so much from all here it really is amazing. Just a fat retired guy in the most well lit wheelchair here around Fort Bragg NC

Nothing to apologize for, as far as I am concerned anyway. This is a good, as well as civil discussion for the most part.

Your knowledge, input, & ‘voice of reason’ is most always respected & appreciated. :+1:

I think you, Boaz, Jerommel, djmcconn, Sb, as well as others; are making & have made valid points in this ‘talk’.


xxxx

Yep… ya’ gotta always watch those “doubleclicks”…… :smiley: . :wink:

Of that, I have no doubt.

I’m picturing one of these mounted on there, and even thinking about it puts spots in my eyes. :slight_smile:

Oh how I wish!!!
