“I have no idea how you could bully an adult, especially a man”?

We all the recent awareness of mental health, etc... I was very surprised at that kind of statement.

I personally think there is lots of stuff that makes you “less” strong but doesn’t kill you!

We all need to remember that GMCnet spans generations, cultures,
backgrounds, nationalities, and beliefs. That means being careful about
projecting ours onto someone else, without at the same time undermining
integrity about our own beliefs.

We have people here who have proven themselves in life in ways many of us
have not, simply because we haven’t been faced with the same challenges.
Those experiences earn people the right to be a little curmudgeonly about
trials they see as less challenging. That discourages me from complaining,
though it doesn’t discourage me enough.

We also need to remember that it’s okay as we age to form conclusions based
on data, recognizing that everyone is working from a different set of data.
That means leaving room for others to have strongly held beliefs and
opinions, while recognizing that we also have them.

We will get over GMC2000 not giving his real name, and those who complained
about it (including me) have already moved on. I suggest we all do.

There must be a difference in the thickness of skin and the squareness of
the top of the shoulders where chips reside on people from different eras.
Some of us have been around so long, and life has taught us many important
lessons. Some stuff just don't matter, and some stuff like honesty and
integrity and being true to your word matters quite a bit. But, as Pogo
Possom said, "Albert, don' take life too seriously, 'taint nohow permanent.
" Your opinion might vary, and you are welcome to it. Many of us old farts
ducked bombs and bullets so that EVERY LEGITIMATE CITIZEN could express
those opinions.
And GMC owners, too. I am amazed at the depth of expertise that
exists here. Airline pilots, electrical and chemical engineers, rocket
scientists, nuclear physicists, and on and on. I respect them all.

I know right? LOL I use the word loosely of course but is that not what bullying really is?

like I wrote in the thread I started "what is in a name" I really cant even begin to discuss my reasoning here without breaking the GMCnet guidelines
so I wont. and "A LEGITIMATE CITIZEN"? a what? ahh... nevermind.

its hard enough just reading/writing GMC stuff because none of us really know how others deal with text while reading and writing so alot is lost
(and/or gained) in the translations between the lines anyway.

Justin,

You seem to have missed the point here by some.

The reason I ask for a real name (I don't give a rat's tail about the chosen handle) is so that when we meet other owners we know that we know them
already. This has been a source of amusement to me on several occasions when I ran into an individual I did not know and was starting to explain GMCs
and the community to him and ready to go into great detail when he told me that on GMCnet, he was XXXXX. Well, I am hard to embarrass and was not,
but if he had started the conversation with his "handle" it could have saved me a whole lot of explaining.

If GMC2000 (It will always store in my brain as GMC2E3 or the like) wants to be not known by that, he is welcome to do so. But that will deny him
some of the benefits of the community. Some amazing stuff has happened here. I have even received such. But if you doubt, go on B'dub's and read
"The great Possum Rescue". As it happens, I was raised as and am a waterman. Of the others I know, I am as likely to remember the vessel's name as
the owner's. That is just me. But I am not all that interested in trying to be a friend to someone that is not interested in being a friend.
Friends don't hide. If that is his choice, that is just fine with me.

His lack of a sigfile also means that we cannot include thoughts about his specific situation that may be coach or climate dependent. As said, that
is not my problem.

Now, if you think that trying to get enough information be a real so one can truly assist another owner is bullying, then I am not prepared to argue
that point as I have never (and will most likely not) ever considered it so.

I had to laugh here. Mary was looking over my shoulder, and chuckled.... "You still are a Wysiwyg old man." I have been faulted for giving straight
and to the point answers when asked. I always will - If I can. If I can't I will say that too.

I waited to reply to this thread, which is another thread splited (twice actually) from here
http://gmc.mybirdfeeder.net/GMCforum/index.php?t=msg&goto=334405&rid=5513 which was the first split from the original thread started here:
http://gmc.mybirdfeeder.net/GMCforum/index.php?t=msg&th=41008&prevloaded=1&rid=5513&start=0

I waited because I wanted to see who else joined in as it went on. I had almost forgot about that but someone here is using multiple usernames and
that reminded me of this.

what is a 'bad actor'? because it really doesnt make sense to me that someone who has a genuine interest in GMCs would come to a GMC related forum
and act bad.

maybe its someone that y'all dont agree with? but why not just write that instead of insinuating they are a bad actor?

yeah, I think the GMC world needs a proper forum and have written this. so what? its obviously a mess here and some regulars insist on making it even
more of a mess by splitting threads and using multiple usernames.

Ive even suggested the 'PTB' update this mess with something that will truly be for the 'greater GMC good' instead of someone else doing it, it really
is in their best interest to do that although they may not see why (yet)

Im a guy that has a pretty serious interest in GMCs and my post history will reflect that. straight talker, no BS type but very keen to spot those
who are not.

I might like to join the club when I get a GMC too but not if the officials want to label me as a bad actor and/or cant be trusted with private and
confidential info before I even join, thats for sure. and if the only forum on the subject refuses progress that I know will help keep more GMCs on
the road for a long time to come then someone else will have to do it.

it might be me? who knows? but I'd rather just be a regular member on a regular forum and help it grow into the future.

is writing my thoughts 'acting bad'? probably to some but not to All. I guess it just depends on who it is, or rather who they are acting as. can
either of you point out with a hyperlink to one that y'all have considered or labeled as a "bad actor" otherwise I'll call BS. Ive been reading back,
page by page on this forum for a while now and still do in my spare time and I really have not seen a poster here trying to cause trouble just for the
sake of it. thats what a bad actor sounds like to me. I just havnt seen one here.

anyway, I hope we all can move forward together and for the greater GMC good. Im not here to challenge anyones governance or control. at least not
directly. I do want to have a modern GMC internet to take GMCs into the future with the greatest of ease and prosperity, so thats why all this I
guess. and whatever else that takes.

and last but not least, heres a good read in the sandbox and about the same subject the original thread this one was double split from. (please stop
doing that) http://gmc.mybirdfeeder.net/GMCforum/index.php?t=msg&th=38930&start=0&rid=5513
 
Well, if someone wants a formal forum with topic cops and strict adherence to rules, they're easy enough to start. P'raps you're the progenitor
thereof? Go for it. As to multiple logins, I've not seen any here but I've not been looking... nor has anyone else. Anonymity is certain;y antone's
right, but the accompanying pokes at anticipated paranoia come with it. You pays your money and you takes your choice as they say.

Again, without rancor, in a volunteer operation such as this the 'why don't you...' can only be met with 'go for it.'

Fred,

No, you are not one of the bad actors.

The only time we have a problem here is when we get one of those few people that comes along and:
A - Believes he knows a lot more about TZE coaches then anyone else here.
B - Has no civility and gets into name calling and generally being nasty.

We just don't need either and we have a lot of important information to pass along.

As to me in particular, I am a ship's engineer and came ashore to work 30+ years in Detroit engine labs.
I have only owned a GMC for about a dozen years and 70+k. (The engine is currently on my barn floor.) And that leaves me as one on those of lesser
experience when compared to the seniors here.

Many have remarked that I seem to know a lot. I may know more than many, but that is only because I have been lifted to the shoulders of many helpful
and wonderful people that were eager to pass their knowledge along and so I feel I have a responsibility to do the same.

I am trying.

Tain't me either. I figure if I have balls enough to post comments here,
that the least I can do is sign my name to it.
I busted my knuckles making an income for myself, a wife, and 2
children. Many times working more than one job at a time. When my skills
were lacking, I went to community colleges, 4 year college specialty
courses, General Motors Training Centers, Apprenticeship centers,
VW/Porsche/Audi schools, Diesel School at Blue Mountain CC, etc.
I went into partnership with a very talented automotive machinist,
(who also happened to be an alcoholic, binge drinker, womanizer, liar, and
cheat) That mistake cost me all my personal savings making it right. Taught
me a whole lot about human behavior, though.
All this and I found time to build hot rods, and help raise my kids.
Finally, was recruited to become a Vocational Instructor in a Prison.
I worked there until my retirement at age 56. Then I went to work for my
wife at her flower shop. She said that I could work 1/2 time, I didn't know
that meant 12 hours a day. Sold that shop in 2010. Bought a GMC in 2007 as
a getaway vehicle. Been working on them for myself and others since then.
GM training came in very handy many times. Love these old coaches. Not the
smartest or the dumbest GMCer out there, but I value the collective wisdom
and helpful spirit of the GMC community.

Can anyone tell me:

1) how much it would cost to create a "modern GMC internet?"
2) if they have the ability do that?
3) would be willing to do it?
4) how long it would take?

I oftentimes wish for the ability to post photos on the gmcnet. I fully
understand why we can't. Bandwidth and cost. I do not participate on the
forum, because of the format. Can't find crap. Facebook is more of a
chatroom than anything else. Handy for some things, but doesn't lend itself
well to technical stuff.
A GMCer owns the photo site. And the net. That means a whole bunch
when it comes to longevity and finding stuff when it is needed.
Much non GMC information through the years has evaporated into
nothing, never to be found again. That shouldn't happen.
What makes this net great and unique is it's permanent nature, quirks
and all. Worth a few bucks once in a while to me. But Patrick and Billy
both should have someone standing in the wings, as understudies. Sounds
like a job for 2000.

Regarding multiple usernames,
I am quilty. You may know me as one of the following:

GMC.LES
Burtco99
Les Burt

Why do I have multiple usernames? Well it has something to do with having to register with the forum and the e-mail list. I originally signed up using Burtco99, and somehow shortly after signing up on the mail list, I forgot what password I used. I initially just re-registered as
GMC.LES as it was quicker than trying to contact 2 different admins on 2 different systems. I have since sorted out my password issues with the original accounts. Cancelling the least used accounts is more effort than its worth.

These days I mostly post my GMC messages from my iPhone. This is where my name Les Burt started to show up. I have several e-mail accounts on my phone, including a specific G-mail acct(GMC.LES) for my TZE communications. If I accidentally create a GMCLIST message from the another email account on my phone, it somehow eventually gets through, and that account then appears to become registered in the GMCLIST system.

Another issue I’ve noticed is that a message viewed as an e-mail on my iPhone may not show the same name as when viewing the same message on the forum. I believe it has to do with the iPhone comparing the incoming message with my contacts list. If it finds a match, the phone assigns the name in the contacts list to the message.

I read the GMC messages on multiple different platforms. My iPhone, my laptop, my notepad, my home desktop, and on my work computer. They all use different methods to access the messages, either by email or forum. Due to all the variables, I believe this can make some GMCLIST members appear as though they are using multiple usernames when many are not.

I don’t have a problem with any of this, but I do see how it can be confusing.

What I find a bit funny is how we praise the GMCNET and the photosite for being reliable and permanent places to store our TZE related info.

We then go on to complain about how it can be difficult at times to search those places for the info we are looking for.

To make things worse, we have GMCNET, the photo site, Genes list of valuable info, etc. These are all strewn across the web in multiple different locations, only tied together by links to each others websites.

GMC2000(Fred) is correct. We need a more modern and user friendly place to keep this info IN ONE LOCATION.

If that happens, then we will have genuine reason for praise!

2-K,

I personally don't give a rip whether you use a real name or not. The reason it is important to some of our members is that it is nice to know who we
are dealing with and when we eventually meet them in person we have a little better feel for who they are.

There HAVE been 'bad actors' show up here from time to time and they have either quietly gone away, or been banished by the moderator, or have gone
off in a flurry of name calling and telling the rest of us where to go. One of them is big on Facebook now. The problem with them is that they have
succeeded in running off some of the really good resources we have had over the years. My solution to dealing with them has always been to just
ignore them and let them fend for themselves. Otherwise, I try to help to the extent that my limited ability and experience allows.

Personally, I am also satisfied with the forum the way it is, even though the split and/or hijacked threads can be annoying and sometimes makes it
hard to find the post I am trying to respond to. At 62 years of age, I am probably way behind the curve on high tech, but this works for me. I have
been using this forum and/or the email digest for about nine years now and I guess I'm just used to it. That makes it easy for me to use.
