I'm not sure what being a new driver has to do with commenting on an issue with posters content......

No one asked me,but I think you BD tend to follow/stalk new drivers all around this forum and make comments on their remarks more than you make comments on the issue being discussed. Which is to bad because if you stuck to the thread topic I belive you give valuable info most of the time.
No........... I just tire of the noobs who seem to think they know everything about this biz after a week in the saddle..... Hell... I don't know everything about this biz after 10 years and running and owning a small fleet....

I miss TF, RR and RH.......:tears:

10 years, and that's all?
That makes you a noob too.
At least compared to some of the rest of us.

Since dobry has, on many occasions, thanked posters for information that she didn't know, she clearly doesn't fall into that category.

Plus, a knowledge of the business has nothing to do with her opinion about CAD. Everyone's opinion is welcome here - company drivers, owner operators, fleet owners, veterans, noobies, family of truckers, people who aren't involved in trucking, people who don't give a rats ass about trucking but post here anyway - EVERYONE.

If you don't like that, then sucks to be you. It doesn't give you free reign with personal attacks against other members of this website. If you disagree with something someone says, then state your disagreement with it. If you think someone shouldn't say anything because they don't fall into your "special group of people worthy of responding", then you need to shut up or be edited.

I don't really care if you like this policy or not. This is standard protocol for pretty much every message board in existence, and it is the protocol for this board as well.

Yep... only 10 years.... and only 18 months as a company driver for a small 10 truck fleet, the rest as a O/O with Authority. Never worked for a coolie carrier either..................:thumbsup:

Chiding you.
5 years would make you a seasoned veteran.
But, it also means you'll be around to put up with it all long after I've driven over the horizon.

There has been a lot of bickering and personal attacks than strong moderation. Visitors get tired of all the negativity. I have had some members contact me about all the negativity and have told me that they were leaving for that reason. Some people left and have since come back. I stopped coming around much and ceased posting much for a while myself. I enjoy a good debate but don't want to deal with a lot of negativity or personal attacks. We should be able to debate without getting into the gutter. People come to this forum to gather information about this industry and to share common interests. They don't come here to get in the middle of a major battle.

I think that Mike Hunt has done an excellent job thus far at picking up some of the slack...................:smokin:
