Taking a break
I received a very offensive email this morning from a fellow member, telling me that my opinions and suggestions on woodturning are not welcome by anyone here and that I should pull my head in, since I don't know what I'm talking about.
In the light of this I've decided to take a break. Not happy, but if that's how it is, that's fine. I have broad shoulders. Have fun all.... Steve

Hi,
I do not know who the fellow is and who gave him the right to talk for the rest of the membership. Rest assured he does not talk for me, I enjoy your posts.

I would suggest that the email be forwarded to a moderator to consider.

I can understand that would leave a bitter taste in your mouth. never nice to receive such especially when so unfounded. From time to time people make a real donkey of themselves (or is that ass)
Hope you are back real soon, like in a few minutes

I would suggest you ignore the email
Firstly that's why I use this forum to hear others ideas opinions on a wide verity of subjects
But it is up to me to take it or leave it
We all have opinions that's what makes us individual

Very sorry to hear that. I've appreciated corresponding with you here and I hope you'll reconsider. True there are and have been some jerks who gratuitously and unfairly criticize others but I think the majority are decent. There is nothing on this forum worth getting hot-headed over, it should be fun, interesting and rewarding for all of us, not a means for abusive behavior.
Cheers,
Rob

The fact that the person didn't have the guts to openly air his views indicates just how much notice you should take of his message.
Much as I love the internet and associated matters, this bitching and hiding behind anonymity is the one thing I can't stand.

Don't leave.
Steve don't leave for then you give that idiot credence to his opinions which do not reflect most forum members, me included.
As said you can report the pm to admin for them to look at or name and shame that member But if I received a pm like that I would copy and paste the whole pm, name included,into this thread for all members to see and judge accordingly.
This kind of unacceptable behaviour can only survive in the dark so let the light of public scrutiny be the judge of this pm.
Keep asking questions and give your opinions as you have the same rights as everyone else.
Peter.
