Bob White 20 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 OGE, If we are nominating world leaders based on what we have read in these threads, I would have to think that you have the nomination wrapped up. I found yaworski's comment to be completely tasteless and void of dignity. It is unfortunate it had to appear in a scouting arena. Bob White Link to post Share on other sites

Venturer2002 10 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Old Gray Eagle & Bob White, I didn't ever think that I'd hear myself saying this, but I agree with you guys entirely. I would have thought that a group of scouts, young and old, could have a grown-up and civilized debate without resorting to personal attacks. Maybe Yaworski should re-evaluate his participation in ANY aspect of scouting, as the comments he has made show that he has reaped very little from it. Are you seeing a therapist Yaworski? If not, I highly reccomend that you do so before your next Troop meeting. (This message has been edited by Venturer2002) Link to post Share on other sites
yaworski 10 Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 Now I'm being sniped at by a snot-nose brat. Oh, I'm wounded. Think about this baby-boy, by taking your shots at me, you are showing that you and I are the same. Link to post Share on other sites

OldGreyEagle 5 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Yaworski, So by keeping up your unique style of commentary I can only surmise you do care about Boy Scouts and use your contrarian, abrasive, "devil's advocate" style to make people think. Glad to have you aboard, its the grit in the polish that makes the metal shine Link to post Share on other sites
Bob White 20 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Sorry OGE, but this isn't playing devil's advocate, it's just bad manners. It is not helpfull, cheerful, friendly, or courteous, and does not belong in the content of these posts. Bob Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 First, Thanks for the kind words Bob, Second, I guess I am just trying to reconcile the anger. When I dont find logic, I try to instill some, perhaps you are right, bad manners are bad manners. Still food for thought, regardless of the source, should still be contemplated(This message has been edited by OldGreyEagle) Link to post Share on other sites
yaworski 10 Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 "I can only surmise you do care about Boy Scouts" I do, I just don't care for the way that BSA is spiraling into the abyss of mediocrity. Link to post Share on other sites

" Talkin', talkin', happy talk -Bloody Mary I notice that the paterfamilias does not chastise the boy-child either for butting into an adult conversation or for making rude comments to me. Why not? Because the boy-child doesn't make negative comments about BSA. Link to post Share on other sites

sctmom 11 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 My 2 cents worth.... Venturer2002, glad to have you participating on the board. You seem to be a wise young man. Keep up the good work. "I do, I just don't care for the way that BSA is spiraling into the abyss of mediocrity. " How do the color of loops and circles contribute to "mediocrity"? Link to post Share on other sites
Bob White 20 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 If spiralling into mediocrity is your concern yaworsky, then perhaps you should raise your own behaviour to reflect the higher ideals of scouting as reflected in the Scout Law. Traits which, by your insults to the other posters, it would appear you have little regard for in your life. You are demonstrating yourself to be part of the spiral.(This message has been edited by Bob White) Link to post Share on other sites
yaworski 10 Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 "How do the color of loops and circles contribute to "mediocrity"? " It is just one symptom. What is the purpose of a color code if it isn't consistent? Link to post Share on other sites
yaworski 10 Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 "If spiralling into mediocrity is your concern yaworsky" If you are so concerned for the feelings of others, why is that you insult me by misspelling my name? "by your insults to the other posters" It's not an insult if it's true. Link to post Share on other sites
