One of the best parts of WCG is that we usually get along and don't have the bickering that takes place in other sections.
I work under the assumption that we are all after one goal so there is no need for dissension here.
Can we bury this line for tonight and walk away friends please?
Thanks.

my original post.Tried to help.Goton for making suggestions that work other places.
I guess I'll just go troll elsewhere with my angriness.That's been my style since I've been here.
I'll say it again: Its not your message. It was your manner.

I'm going to close this for a little while so we can all take a breath and think about what is really important.
Call it an intermission, will reopen in a while.

Thread opened..
Ok, the sun is shining, birds are chirping, it's the day after Christmas and love is in the air.
Now if your not in a good mood I'm sorry but I can't fix all the ills of the universe. I can however ask that we deal with one another civilly and hopefully as friends.
Food for thought: The written word is a lousy medium in which to communicate ones feelings.
I am in the middle of reading James A. Micheners "Alaska" and realizing just how well a excellent writer can convey a thought. Many times I've gone to try and express an abstract thought and had to search for the words.
I'm fairly smart and pretty well read. If I have to think and choose it may well be that others may have to also and many times use the wrong words to describe their feelings.
What may be perceived as a flame may have been well intentioned.
I just ask that you think on this a bit.
Now to go over to another thread and give my new found friend from Oklahoma 67 infractions for making that thread!

Bad luck on Xmas day / day after guys and girls...good job though...
On to RAMMIE's original post re: keeping / adding new members...I like some of the Discovery ways...always good to keep people motivated by letting everyone know what they have put in...it will work for some...but as Dave put it, the core team (which I would like to be classed as one day) will keep on going no matter what. Most of us (out of the current membership) do really see the benefit in what we do...and that is important!!!
Absolutely correct.

I am kinda new here so I won't even try to say that I know what's going on. I have stayed here for a few reasons. First off because I think WCG is a worthy cause to be involved with. The notion that I can play a however small but significant part in finding a cure for things like cancer and aids is very rewarding. All I need to do is give my computer something to do when it has nothing else to do. I have even recruited an ex-girlfriend and a few co-workers to join our band of merry crunchers.
I also like the people here. There is a more laid back attitude here that is an encouraging change from other sections where strife and bickering abound. I have this amazing respect for people like DDTUNG who does more in one day than I could do in 6-7 weeks. That's committment on a grand scale. I also like people like S_B and MM as they've been helpful to me when I've had questions. Phelan1777 is a friend who's been to my (former) house. Now we are a bit more distant...but still stay in touch.
In short we all get along. We don't bicker or cause undue stress over things. I am saddened to read the last 35-40 posts. Sometimes we have to agree to disagree in order to get along and not upset the balance of things. Is it really important to convince someone of your view on a topic? Sometimes, despite our best intentions, that other person believes strongly about what they believe and won't be easily swayed. So why resort to flaming and name calling? As my grandpa used to say....if you can't say something nice....don't say anything at all....
I have this ever growing file I put most of this stuff into so I don't wind up getting gray hairs over things. It's labeled "Life is too short to be upset over this"....
Rammie, in your defense, I did enjoy hearing how another team motivates it's members. We can always benifit from the diversity that comes from seeing how others accomplish things. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Please, in the spirit of how this section is normally run, can we table any ill feelings or the need to express our disdain at a post that mildly upset us?
Thanks everyone,
~Philly~
Dave please delete this if you feel it is inappropriate in any way. This is just an observation of someone who is new here...

Rammies style is abrasive... but it is just his style. I think his intents are fair. And even I know that having rowed with him before.
I thought this thread got closed
At any rate, keep crunching guys. All my machines are working away while I spend my week off playing my new xbox360.

Sir, I might be new to this team but I have been dedicating my time and resources since 2001 at UD.org. I never questioned your importance or motivation, I just stated why I got into this.
I thought that you made some very valid points for recruiting new members and I am sorry if I came off otherwise.

So, in a lot of ways, we kicked butt...
But, to a lot of us, this is an important stat:

Nice crunching today, team. Not bad for a bunch of sheep.

Well, my friend loaned me a quad to try on my motherboard, and, well, what else makes a good long run test for mosfet temperatures? This could be fun.
I am glad to be a part of the team. Although I am a newcomer, I definitely have "the bug" and will be here long term. I do enjoy reading all the posts and think this is a great thing to do. Hopefully even the small amount I contribute IS helping. *
* Plus the warm fuzzies are awesome
Every contribution is appreciated, both big and small.

And I don't like sheep..reminds me too much of New Zealanders
Yes. Thanks for joining us. Good stuff, no matter what. Weappreciate the participation and having new teammates.
I started getting my farm back in shape, some. More to come. Some things won't show for a day or three, some things left to do.

Now, back to the stats (from free-dc.org this time)...
Users Returning Work : 275/647 (42.50%
To get the results we have from 275 of us, this is impressive right now...
And this is Easy's stats:
Users Returning Work : 945/2176 (43.43%)
So we have 670 less users returning work and coming up with a lot more results...we seriously do kick butt... GREAT WORK EVERYONE!!!!!
