<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 636425, member: 112"]OK so let me get this straight. I guess it depends on the weather or something, but at one time I get flack and it is said that I post too much and in each and every thread on the forum. Yeah, it's been said before and was again in the CU forum thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then I get flack and asked if I am ignoring people because I don't respond to every post. </p><p><br /></p><p>So somebody tell me - how does a guy win ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Well ya know what, ya don't win, because it can't be done. You can't please all of the people all of the time. I learned that a looooooong time ago. And as a result of learning that I also learned something else, and that is that the best thing you can do is just be yourself. Trying to be somebody else or trying to be the way other people want you to be - just doesn't work. So I don't ever bother trying to be like somebody else wants me to be. I'm gonna be me, come what may.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now a lot of people like me because of the way I am. They know without a doubt that I will always tell the truth, that I will not sugar-coat anything or pull any punches and that I will forever and always tell it the way I see it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now there are also a lot of people who don't like me for the very same reasons. But I'm OK with that, I promise. I've never once lost a minute's sleep over worrying about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because ya see, I'm not here to win a popularity contest. I'm here because of my love for the hobby, and because of my desire to help others in any and every way I can. And if some people don't like the way I go about doing that - well then I guess that's just too damn bad. Because I'm not gonna change.
