In the past I have enjoyed adding my views and opinions to the discussions here, but of late I find myself dismayed at the lack of tolerance and acceptance of differing opinions by some contributors. Some just seem unable to accept that because something is not completed or carried out to their satisfaction that others might be content with the result they have achieved, and then seem to feel the need to persist in pointing this out.
Whilst I am all for encouraging the development of new modelling skills and knowledge, I do not see a need to repeatedly refer in public to something which is disagreed with. I think that at times such "encouragement" can be best carried out via PM rather than in public on a thread. I appreciate then that in these circumstances others do not then recieve the benefit of the "advice" offered, but it does offer the recipient the opportunity of not feeling repeatedly criticised in public.
I am not suggesting that all threads should only contain positives and praise of the builds concerned, but that the differing opinions of others should be considered and accepted, and not pursued with comments which may be perceived as provocative or attacking.
So for the time being at least I will just be an occasional visitor here, and will not be contributing to any threads.
I wish you all well in your tanking and other modelling efforts
Paul
