I read criticism of me and posts that are made about me with the derision it deserves, if deserved, I just take it on the chin and try not to make the same mistake again.
I used to frequent chatrooms and the abuse that goes on there has to be seen to be believed. Profanity and abuse from people who wouldn't say boo to a goose in the real world.
I just call them keyboard warriors, sitting brave behind their monitors, sitting there in their underpants waiting for the next pop up advertising loose women that want to take you to bed.
I've always had an interest in trains, but it has only been in the last couple of years that I've become interested in the technical and engineering side of them, which is why you'll probably find any thread started by me beginning with 'why etc...' I've expected a few replies along the lines of 'are you thick or something' etc. Thankfully that hasn't happened and I'm glad to say, my railway knowledge is a lot fuller.
