I Remember A Set Of Tractor Weights

Sure miss my friend not being around here and don't like the fact that he felt he had to leave. However I respect his wishes to do so and wish him well.

He always goes out of his way to help me and even tho I don't always agree with him, I'll be the last one to give the fellow a public lynching like he's been getting here tonight.

Just don't think it is right.

Never, ever once was he disrespectful to Kim or anyone else for that matter. We've lost one heck of an asset and I think we just drove him away.

Couldn't agree more, and I couldn't add much either. To think this whole fracus started over a simple answer to a simply question.... and went downhill from there. I really just don't understand it all.

Never Mind, It Don't Matter No How. ;o[

After reading some of the various negative posts towards Howard on this site, it reminds me of stories I've heard of how "hyenas" attack when they turn on a member of their own pack, and it's very sad indeed.

I'm fairly certain a private email exchange with Howard from the administrator of this site, would have prevented the "hyenas" on this site from attacking one of their own,.... but, I'm afraid we'll never know for sure now.

I think Howard is showing great restraint, by not responding to the negative posts on this site,.... and for that, he has my utmost respect.

I always thought he's a heck of a guy, but I know how he feels, been there before myself and I hope I left there with as much class. He has my admiration and respect. Irony is, it was a church I had to leave. I ended up at a place that I am far happier, and they are still wallowing in the mess that they made for themselves. I guess there is karma.

Its interesting to look at the IP's of the people on his board, amazing how some of the biggest ones trying to lynch him here are over there with different names.

But, everyone is missing the point.

Isn't about Howard, what he did or didn't do, whether he is right or wrong, and it isn't about the Matriarch or how she handles the rules around here.

There are some fine people here, but what really stuck in my mind was the public butchery and the openness of the "kill".

Isn't about how the Cowman conducts himself or his affairs; more about how we respond to it.

The public bloodletting just really surprised me a little.

There's a lot of good people I used to know that don't come around here since then..... .

Life goes on.

I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Could you expand on this a little more?

Someone left on account of me? I don't like that thought even a little bit. :>(

Thanks for any light you can shed on this matter,

Allan

To each their own.

Kim had to work pretty hard to deal with all that. In the end, there were as many people coming around, so she loosened up the rules a little to accomidate your crew, and here we are. Allan, with all due respect, you'da have to had a brick fall on you to forget all that. People were emailing, people were looking for a new place to hang out, and so on. I had a fellow send me emails on some conpirosy theory that you were the center of, & other stuff..... It was pretty riled up. Lot of folks either faded away, or stomped out. Cowman's deal is only 1/10th of all that back then, it got pretty ugly.

That's how it was, this is how it is, and I'm not complaining. Not crying about it. No big deal. A few of us adapted to the new ways, and a few left. I've tried to be totally civil to you & your friends, & I'd hope I get treated the same, despite the one message aimed at me already.....

Things change, as always. Not a bad thing. Just how it is. Here we are today, & we move forward.

Kinda funny how history repeats itself - I felt like you do back in October of 2004 when things heated up, when you & the others showed up, & some of my friends faded away..... Don't mean anything more than that, not looking for anything at all.

Have a good one.

All I remember is that some ol' boy down in Florida didn't like the idea of me putting up pictures and just carried on something awful. Screamed and called me all kinds of names.

I just thought he was some kind of a crank.

Oh, and by the way, I don't carry around a trainfull of friends in my back pocket. I know one local who is on this board and have visited with Colorado Curt when he used to be here.

Other than that, I've never laid eyes on any of you folks.

Hmmmmm m, I'll be darned.

Allan

Thanks for the eye-opener..... I think.

Was 2 degrees last night, sure seems odd reading about air conditioner work.....

JMHO,.... but, I think someone by the name of Paul, is full of "horse feathers"! :>)

Last summer I was bidding on another set, I went to near $200, they sold for about $375 or so. That was maybe a little cheap even yet, but pretty close to normal price.

However, when he came back over here, it seemed to me that he was being very disrespectful to Kim and seemed to be attempting to draw users away from here to his board. (I have no idea why anyone would do that, but it seemed that way to me.) When he posted on here that he already had 100 registered users on his board, it really struck me the wrong way. I immediately went to his board and told him to make that 99 users - take my registration off his board!

His further posts on this board have convinced me that I made the right decision.

At least, that's the way I see it.

Why I bet there could be a whole bunch of old tractor websites without overloading the heavens.

Yes Allan...I also agree with you.
I've never met Cowman, but then again I've never had anyone else call to personally thank me for a get-well card either.

But I still enjoy it here and it will be a little different without him.

Farmed with my Dad for 30 years and when he died in 99 after a quick illness,that fall was real tough not seeing him in the cab of the truck or combine.

Well 8 harvest later and it ain't so bad anymore.

This year I didn't miss him near as much.

As they say time heals a lot of pain and time will heal this also.

He might not be missed by some, but I think he added alot to the forums.
