Too Old
just wanted to voice my appreciation for all the great advice you have given to so many of us here. i for one have leaned more from your post then i could have leaned from all the other boating sites combined in 100 years. your a great asset to the site and i hope it will always stay that way.
thanks a bunch , Steve |
Agreed.....This would be a "lesser" place without the
"Burger Man" !!!:D |
Drama, what drama?
Musta missed something pretty good. |

Originally posted by Troutly Don't really need to open it up again, but lets just say this: Thread started about boat buying which is still up and locked. Members having a mostly polite and adult disagreement in that thread. Member takes issue and starts a couple of threads obviously directed towards another member. The other member did not see any humor in them taking the entire scenario into account. Same member posts a thread directed towards other member taking issue with threads directed at him. First member deletes posts in original thread and edits the threads he started removing the original content, making the threads and replys to them even more confusing then they originally were. OSO comes in and does their usual deleting of threads with no explenation. Just another boring day on OSO....is it all clear now?? :D I think there is alot of frustration with the guys (including myself) that have been here from the begininning. This site has grown into a monster. Both good and bad. David |
missed the drama but like lotoparty said the board is better with Fred on it!!!!!! Fred you the man!

David Aint that the truth:rolleyes: :rolleyes: I haven't been here since the beginning,but IMHO the site isn't what it used to be. Maybe it's gotten, as my mom used to say, too big for it's own britches:) :) Craig |

|

And I mean that.. Best Regards Steve Koss |

I have been around this board for a few years now, been through a few screen names. Fred and I have had our disagreements, and I wished him farewell a while back, in not so nice words. Since his return, I have had a newfound respect for him, he is a great asset to this board and from this post, I hope it doesn't mean he has left again..
|
People come and people go.
This board is just not what it was, even from when I joined not long ago. I noticed lately when you say something someone doesn't agree with they jump on you like wild pitbulls. |
Oh boy...I missed a lot this weekend.
Fred would definately be a big loss to this community. OSO would be lesser without him. |
Keep Fred!
|
He's ok as long as he keeps sending me those free Chicken Whopper coupons. :D :D :D
|
I believe all of the above and then some. I have NEVER met or spoken to ANYONE willing to help like Fred.
Greg |
From the statements above, I am gathering Fred left OSO again ??....
|
He'll be back. The OSO hook was set looong ago. He's just runnin some line out, takin a break.
|
Too many posts are missing or deleted to know the whole story. I did see a quote aimed at Fred that was TOTALLY inappropriate. That is NOT was OSO was designed for. OSO is supposed to be beneficial and most of all; FORKING FUN! I really hope we see Too Old back soon, as I for sure would miss his input.

I have no idea whats going on but i will say that the first time i met Fred i considered him a class act, stand up kind of guy. I as well as others consider him a friend and an asset to this board.
I have told many members here from this board that i have met through out the years that the only problem with a forum such as this, is that you cant tell the "feelings" of how someone was trying to post something. (Not sure on how that last line came across either myself! :D ) My point is that what someone may write on this board jokeingly someone else may read it all wrong and get the wrong idea. I for one have never taken anything anyone has said to me personaly. And unless i'm face to face with someone and can hear for myself how they are saying it to me i wont take anything seriously! :) |
I remember my first posts which, by their nature, ignited a ****storm. The context was a joke that I deemed inappropriate and I let Risk Taker (the joke starter) known it. As the newbie, I was called very name in the book. As an attorney, I gave it right back (in spades, I believe). Too Old leant his voice of reason to the thread and quickly demonstrated the moderate, knowing wisdom that we have all come to admire and upon which many of us rely. The mandate to Fred in the Pantera thread that began with "shut" and ended with "up" was unwarranted and disrespectful. This Board attracts many different people, all of whom contribute in different ways to the OSO family. I have discovered through reading different posts and threads that you are more often rewarded on OSO for insightful opinions than for colorfully worded attacks on others. I do not now, nor have I ever owned a boat. I aspire to own one soon and hope that people like Fred are available to me on this forum when I need their sage advice. To run him off this Board with unnecessary personal attacks is short-sighted and immature.

Well said,Lawyer guy. I think we will see Too Old back.He won't leave me strung out here as someone also too old,heck,I'm older than him.Everybody has to chill from time to time,I sure do.

I talked to Dominic the owner of the mentioned boat and he is a nice guy, all he wants to know is a completion date on his boat, he likes Joe and his family but is getting alittle nerveous because of the money he has commited. Custom made boats always seem to take longer than expected, and as for TOOO Old you should take your geritol and shut the f*&k up, this is an open form. The only thing I will agree with you on is that the owner should post a thread , and bashing unless you have the facts or written goods to share gets you no where |
Originally posted by hi-perf-2000 Wally.....I dont think this was in a "jokeingly" matter : panteraman28 has apoligized twice for his remarks. we have all said things in the heat of the moment that we regret later. its obvious that panteraman28 does too. |
A personal invitation
Fred say something I have not had the pleasure of meeting you but sounds like your a stand up guy and some day hope to have that pleasure Jeff
|
Can't we all just along ?
|
Well Well lookie here! Glad to see you back :)
|
Originally posted by Too Old Thanks for all the kind words. Poodle!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D |
One nice thing about this Forum is that it is easy to get ignited but just as easy to put the fire out. I am sure there are no hard feelings and life with Too Old and P28 will go on. It was a nice ride though.:D I guess the end of the Boating season signals the start of the OSO season.:D
|
I feel all warm and fuzzy......
|
Dyno, I think that is your Dog you are feeling:D Need help Winterizing? Just call or PM me, I would love to help. We can pull the drives and all. Let me know if you need a hand with this. No warm fuzzies though:eek: I'm a married man you know.:D And to Too Old, again it was nice to see you come out of your shell...I never seem to have the guts to call someone on the carpet, even though I would never see 1/10th of the Members here I still just keep things on an even keel. (oops, snailboat talk again);)
