I agree with you guys.
(Sorry this is so long but I really get tired of hearing about flamers
and some folks basically just acting immature. I just want to express my
opinion as many other do.)
If the DML members would just "stick to the subject", then we wouldn't
even be having these discussions about flames, non-dak content,
additional DML tech lists, and personal attacks on another member's
post. If you (DML member) don't like what someone said, then just ignore
it. Flaming is so immature!! The best way to react is NOT to react at
all, then the thread just dies. If a constant abuser of the DML NEVER
gets a reply from "anyone" on "anything" (especially flaming), then that
person will either get with the program or get off the DML!
If you do reply to a Dak issue post and you have a different opinion,
just post your experience or opinion and leave it at that. Name calling
and getting all defensive is not necessary! All DML members have their
own experiences and opinions on mods, etc. NEVER assume that yours is
the ONLY right answer! The original sender of the DML post can make up
their own mind on what to do based on all the different experiences and
responses that are received! That "IS" the DML... sharing information
and experiences to hopefully help other Dak owners.
If a Dak content thread strays after a few replies, then "try" take it
offline and private.
I personally REALLY enjoy the DML. It has already saved me time and
money. I always get tips about things I may never have thought of. Let's
keep the DML going in the right direction. I'd hate seeing the DML
suffer because of a "few" folks who don't know when to shut up or how to
grow up! (If you take that comment personally, then maybe you're one of
the few I'm referring to!)
Play nice children. :)
Just my "opinion". No Flames Needed, I ignore them anyway.
