Seems the guy was genuinely well-liked, had some good things to say and is now missed.

Wonder what he did to get banished?

Rumor has it that thingy was last seen at NYCTO. . . I didnot know him but always enjoyed his posts ED

If he was banned, it would say so under his name when you look at his past posts.

Actually, it is blank under the banned members names at this site where the user level title would normally appear.

I know of two members who are banned (one very understandably, the other one not so.) who have nothing where "Super Member" (or whatever level) would appear.

True, true, but aside from that, he was a crack up.
I loved it when he would rant about eating stuff he shot. He would talk about shooting anything and then boiling it or something and eating it no matter how disgusting it turned out. And he always brought up how many hours he had on that Jinma tractor of his,,,,,like 560 or last I heard with a peep of trouble.

I hope I don't get in any trouble over this but I just had a few PM's with Thingy and he says he is banned from here? does any one know about this? and mods/admin if I'm out of line with this post just delete it, I don't want to be banned from here, I like it here

Yu know, some of them fussy welders, they use tarps and wind screens and such like things that are not hard to come by when welding outside. Sponge cake is sponge cake.

That's great if you have windscreens and tarps, and have the time to use them. There are plenty of times when you have -3 minutes to get that 'whatever' welded, and get that machine doing what it had been doing before the rain gets 'heavier'.. etc. Or when the clouds are rolling in.. but the last few windrows of hay are still on the ground. Huge difference in a quick weld job to finish work, and an x-ray quality weld and full prep/repair job that would make a machinist smile and offer you his daughter's hand in marriage.

There's a time and place for everything... if all situations were 'perfect'.. airplanes wouldn't have parachutes.. and ocean liners wouldn't have life rafts.. but life ain't perfect.. so sometimes you take the 'emergency' route to get something done!

Ah nevermind.. I'm done with this discussion. It's bad enough to remember trying to have a discussion with that guy.. vs having discussions about him.. etc..

I give up.. there is never any reason to make anything but a 100% perfect x-ray quality weld.. no matter what, no exceptions.. not money, or loss of crops, time or life... only good welds...

The guy seemed to love a good debate/conversation. And if you bow out of the conversation--he wins.

Think about this sentence for a minute.

OK....time's up.

Can a banned person still exchange PM's?
