Hope this isn't too long. Big favor to ask regarding the Ft. Desoto picnic. First thing, I don't think I've seen any negative posts from the SRT guys on the SRT thread.
Wish I could say the same thing about the TR thread that Juan started and the thread that my buddy Ben started on s2ki. HOWEVER, despite some of the negativity from a few s2k owners and non s2k and srt owners, there IS some strong interest and I think we're going to have a great turnout from both groups. There are a bunch of s2k guys with open minds and are willing to hang out with us to try something different, have a good time, and open up some dialogue between our groups.
One favor I would like to ask is please IGNORE the guys who are posting the negative remarks on TR and even on this forum if you see any. It makes them look much worse when no one replies to them.
I want to avoid any war of words at all costs. If we take their bait and become negative like them, the other people will take notice and start saying we are "immature" when we all know that we're not.There's always going to be ignorant people, we just have to ignore and avoid them. If we stay positive, I think the Ft. Desoto meet is going to surprise a lot of people for the better. A good thing is that the moderator on the s2ki thread is very supportive of the meet, as you can see from his recent TR post.
Thanks guys; I really appreciate your help. I know it's tempting to react and reply harshly sometimes, but I'm working hard to keep the peace
