Been missing J-Mech

[Terry C]

Wow to listen to the J bashers you would think every post he made was offfensive.
Tons of people got FREE help from him.
You J bashers going to start pitching in and help people now? Or just keep complaining.
He was here everyday solving problems. I know cause I’m here everyday.

This thread has no point now. And to delete a thread you have to count backwards, three.., two..

Looks like a good time for a lock or a deletion.

I thought it's been a good discussion, no one has been out of line.

I've been a member of this site since 2009.

Over the years this site has had several members who asked the same question over and over or they start several topics on the same problem and they won't listen to your or other members suggestions. It usually gets to the point where there is a huge argument because the original poster won't listen.

Do you ignore the topic or do correct the problem before it is out of hand???

Part of being a moderator is keeping the site under control. The moderator should have respect from the membership. Not seeing that out of few of the posts.

Just a reminder- there is no one forcing you or me to be on this site.

Been biting my tongue but a long week (and 7 days more before a reprieve ahead) so the good drink is probably speaking

Long and short; J-Mech is a good guy, I've met him, we've talked in person and on the phone, etc. He is also a HUGE wealth of knowledge that I wish I had half of. That being said, he's not shy about what he says, more of us should lean that way honestly. Anywho, is he right 100% of the time about 100% of things? No. But, are you? He is right well more often than not and again, more often than not, people argue with him about simple things that shouldn't really be up for debate. I would probably be the same as him if I were in his shoes as I'm sure more of us than we'd like to admit would be.

TLR: Smart guy, wealth of knowledge, a bit short in the social graces aspect of things online. Great guy overall. Here's to hoping we hear from him again soon.

I've never noticed that, I guess I ignore them.

Much more eloquent than my last post which was a little out of line.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Not seen that either but I'm not a regular.

Wow! My most popular thread. Seems to generate more conversation than the threads about the amazing tractors I've built.

Jon has been a wealth of information for me. He has always welcomed my calls and helped me.

He is not the best at communication with tact. Having said that, this site will lose a lot of knowledge with the loss of Jon's in put.

We do seem to have gained a lot of snowflakes that can't or won't accept a fact or correction w/o crying " I'm offended". Roland had a tough choice and he made it. I respect his decision and appreciate his time and money invested in this site. We will see how everything works out.

I did hear a rumor x-mac (not mentioning names) wanted to limit the number of moderators in order to enhance the annual moderator's meeting in the Bahamas.

I think this should serve as a "wake up" call to all members about just how our annual membership fees are being spent.
