I'll be blunt, just as Kevin so often is. There have been times I would have welcomed the news of you being banned. But Kevin, you are a valued member of this forum, even I have come to know that. You have helped me many times, either through a post of mine, or just picking up on someone elses. There is no doubt, you are blunt, and sometimes rude, but instead of packing up your AE and hitting the bricks, I would hope you would reconsider your plans, and stick around. The truth is, you are full of knowledge, both regarding MSTS, and real world trains. Would it be too much of you to reword your thoughts to those who you talk to everyday and newbies alike. You are afterall a key member to this forum.No one should ever change the way they are, and this was afterall YOUR choice, so if you so choose to leave, than so be it.Can't believe I am saying this, but you will be missed by many.Best of luck to you Kevin.Chris Bogley

You must be joking, Kev leaving ? I thought he had skin thick enough to let this needling bounce off it like high velocity bullets from a Teflon vest.I too got irritated many times by some of the reponses I got from him, but then I got to know him better and learned to understand what makes him tick. But there are some who can not adjust to some individuals. To them I say you had better get used to making allowances for some characters or you are going to have a hard live living or working with your fellow human beings !!!And as far as you are convernded, Kev, you dare leave this Forum and I shall kick your arse !!!

Okay...KevArc....hmm, not much to say about you, because well, i didnt know you personally, or hardly at all. But i DO know you bothered me on a few posts, posts i could never go back to, because otherwise it might turn into a bloody fight. Perhaps though, you might have been able to drive bcdef off alot sooner,since you seem to be good at arguing. Man, that guy needed a spell checker, BADLY!

>"...but instead of packing up your AE and hitting the bricks, I would hope you would reconsider your plans, and stick around."You're leaving out one thing. Unlike all the tantrum-like exits we've gotten used to, this one was preceded by a threat of banishment from a mod. So Kevin didn't just get sick of the crap and decide to leave, he was warned to modify his actions or be banned. I can't speak for him, but I'm guessing that he just chose to self-ban instead of living under a gag order, wondering which reply would be the one that would make an idiot cry, and waiting for the official word from the mods. It would be like Bobby Knight's last few months at Indiana. Every moron that Kevin ever made cry would be waiting to entice him into a terse enough reply that the mods would pull the trigger. That's no way to live. Crybabies - 1
People who understand the Search Feature - 0Besides, those that enjoy his activites (yes, David, they DO work) know where to find him. It's a nice quiet little forum, and believe it or not, I've yet to see a flame war. Common sense and maturity prevail there. Hmmm, wonder if they've got a Search Feature........?BretEdit:
One more thing! Please note that Kevin didn't play the "I'll Never Be Back!" card. He said he'll be lurking around, keeping an eye on things. Which is good to know for those that use his activites and may have problems with them in the future.

Yes Kevin can be short and blunt and even sometimes rude. After raising 5 kids, I understand that fully. What is forgotten is that Kevin is an effective communicator, in that he gets his point across and no one has any doubts as to what he means. If you cannot handle this type of communication, grow up, as that is what happens in the work enviroment. Too bad overly sensitive immature people have to complain, we need more people like Kevin and less of the complainers.

>but that would cause world to end. Coming from someone who seems to enjoy flamewars it makes no sense. Its people who start flamewars because they lik reactions that are a bigger problem. When two people know what each other thinks it can lead to dialog and understanding. However when people make statements just to get a reaction, or to stir up trouble that leads to chaos. After reading Kevins posts and yours, I have found Kevin to be helpfull and easy to understand. You however are quite a different story as none of your posts contributed anything worthwhile.

Kevin has pissed me off by the way he treats people around here....and he hasn't even 'yelled at me'.BUT....it's probably a good thing for the fourm. Someone has to be the dad, and so far no one else has steped up to that vital part of out 'community'. He has also provides us with some quality add-ons and helpful information.But, if he so decides to walk so be it. It would be his lose, not ours. There is no 'i' in team, and thats what we have to be.(And yes I know there is 'me'.)Final thought: I hope Kevin has enough balls to stay, and doesnt sink down to a lower level.

Leaving is not the way to go Kevin – image 19

I am mostly a lurker, because as a sort of newbi, I have found it better to keep my mouth shut on a lot of topics.I do have one comment though on all of this. Take this from someone who specializes in conflict managment (I am a clergyman by profession). There are people on this board who regularly say things that are purposefully said to incite others. Kevin is one whose fuse might be a little shorter than others. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. What I have seen Kevin get the most short about is stupid questions, or even moreso, inflammatory questions. I would love Kevin's ability for 3 word answers. But, I don't. Kevin maybe needed more tact at times, but he was still someone I respect. I respect him because he has some great knowledge about this topic. Overall, I am often dismayed by the antagonism that seems to be so prevelant on internet message boards. Many people seem to take lots of things personally. Others say things in print that they would NEVER dare say face to face.Remember, if you wouldn't say something to a person face to face, you should not put it in print for all eternity for everyone to see. Better to remain silent and thought a fool, then to open your mouth and prove it.

RE: Leaving is not the way to go Kevin........

I would take a dozen Kevin's over one of your posts with that attitude. I like Kevin, he contributes a lot to this community and I don't mean just his activities, but also his many posts which I have mostly enjoyed reading. I don't have to always agree with someone to respect them. Many of his posts hit the correct target, even if they were a bit outspoken at times.Any community would be boring if everyone always thought and spoke exactly the same all of the time. Down with 'PC' thinking.

Dwayne,
This reply of yours is part of what I see wrong with so many internet message boards. I doubt that if Kevin had been standing in front of you would would have called him "Ahole Bast." While some might not know what you meant, I do. I find your behavior as offensive as you find Kevin's. I wish our moderators would remove posts or people who insist on using profanity and vulgar language. They warn Kevin, but let this stuff go unchallenged. Maybe Kevin was pompus at times. I will agree with you that he had a superior attitude. When you are as intelligent as he is and as accomplished as he is in his field (MSTS); then you may have trouble understanding why others have trouble with extremely simple procedures.An example: Ted Williams was probably the greatest and most accomplished hitter in all of baseball. (So say the baseball experts) But when he became a manager, he failed because of his inability to understand why it was so hard for some people to do what he found so easy...hit a curve ball. While Kevin might be no Ted Williams, I believe there is a point here. Kevin couldn't tolerate stupidity. Maybe that's part of his flaws. OK, but each one of us has flaws too. We all need to be more tolerant.

I fully agree with you there . I once have gotten upset with Kevin but I still don't think these would be the Train-sim forums without him . Southern Pacific will live on forever in the hearts of the Red and Gray Railfans Shane Palus

Kevin - I've been away from the Forum for about a year and a half, and returned to find an exceptionally knowledgeable individual who is always willing to help folks with a problem - including a pseudo newbie like me. I did also pick up from several posts that your terse communication was found offensive by some, but I do believe they were in the minority. I think your contribution to the community will be sorely missed and I know that most of the people on this forum would be delighted to see you return from your self-imposed exile.Whaddya say?

Sometimes it's best just to walk away. I will miss Kevin's knowledge and reading some of these posts I can understand his reasons. Good luck Kevin and thank you. KRO52

Hi,Very bad news!
I hope Kevin will return as soon as possible.
I cannot believe that someone complaints about his posts.
They are short and to the point and sometimes a little bit rude.
Well Kevin, many many thanks for all your contributions to this board and I hope to see back soon.Dick van den HovenLeaving is not the way to go Kevin – image 30

I don't know what happened, but Kevin WILL be missed. You idiots that were on the end of his wrath at times..Kevin was just brave enough to tell you what the hell the rest of us THINK really loud!!ALso, he is kinda like Eminem, Don't like what I say?/ Well, ere is more to make ya mad!! You have to be SMART enough to look through it. (which leaves out about 25% of the group..if this offends you, your probably in the 25%)The same thing is happening on the Vietcong game forums. A few kiddies are ruining it for ALL.BAH!!!

>Why? Because Kelley is stating the obvious?
I belive because Mike feels that perhaps this is getting too violent, or maybe he was affected by some idiotic remark.
For a group of mostly adults (but us young'uns are here too!) i would expect better behavior.Anyone wants to debate that...take it up with mister 9 mil.

I respected kevin as well, I admit I got more than a bit steamed at him, but I deserved what he said to me. He DID say what we were thinking real loud, and we must appreciate he had the confidence to do so.BCDEF with his idiotic posts actually made me laugh, probably more than I should have. But I was not happy to see him leave. I have come to think of you forum members (new and old) almost like a giant railroad family, and it dissapoints me to see members leave, just because of a few fools.Now then, to adress the hostilities directed at me. I have spoken with a good friend of mine, and I have told her what has been said about me (twice mind you). She then responded in saying: "Then he has no life. If he has to repeat himself."You want a flame war? then go ahead. But I refuse to bring violent trash to the Train-Sim forums. I realize I have been overreactive in my posts here, but that is me. I see an insult directed at me, I flip out, because I have had enough crap in my life already. When I came to these forums, I didnt even think violence existed here, I thought of it as a haven of sorts. Okay, BN_9402, you have no right to say I do not have a life. Should you continue to belive that, you can take it up with me on AIM, not here. My AIM sn is LoneSniperSG

You know what? I am so tired of this BS... I'm joining Kevin.Put a fork in me... I'm done. The lamers have won. All I ever see now is; "Gimme this" "Gimme That" "I want a BARNEY the DINOSAUR route!" "Make me that NOW!" "What is the BEST thing I need for what I'm not gonna do that I can't afford?" "I'm a complete NOOB so you must pity me." "I can't think for myself... think for me please!" "I have no imagination, can I have some of yours?" "I can't believe such and such isn't free anymore!" "Mommy! He's on my side of the couch!" Ok, maybe not that last one...I need to step away from all the flaming, non-thinking, non-contributors for a while... This forum provides little in the way of the things "I" want anymore. You can also read all that to say that I have no desire to share any of my stuff for awhile... my current projects are on hold while I decide if I want to be a part of this any longer...
