: Susan asked me in a past post if her jokes were that bad because I was answering them seriously, I seen the jest in the post, I was answering seriously because when people are info hungry and some know little to nothing about gliders, They make take a post like that seriously.. I don't want it to seem as if I was trying to stop, By NO MEANS was I trying to do that, This board can always use a lighter side.. If there was a way that the poster could tell in advance or something.. I don't know I guess I will do as I have been doing and asnwer the jokes as if it were a serious question.. My main fear is what would happen if someone that didn't know it was a joke would try some things..Or If they got thinking.. ahhhh this may work.. There has to be a happy medium somewhere.. We need the lighter side, with so much biting, crabbing etc.. some owners must go through, a lighter side is needed..IS there a happy medium?? well I hope so,,
: My response then, is the same as my response now..
: with many times dealing with new people and many times kids and teens.. there are new people that come in here not knowing anything about gliders at all.. I can see a kid trying to take it's glider into the bathtub with them, i also picture them putting them on a board and falling in, kicking, screaming thrashing for their lives, I do have a wonderful sense of humor, but i have to watch out for what someone else may think as well.. After all How would you feel if 2 weeks from now, someone wrote you saying they made a boat for thei glider but it tipped and their glider fell in but was kicking so bad that the scratching was too much, it swallowed a bunch of water and died of pnemmonia .. I personally would feel like crap. So I give advice for those that may look at it seriously..
: I am Sorry if I seem like a snob or a prude, but you don't know me and A snob I am not.. Can be though , But not as a general rule..
