ATP is long gone, and is not coming back. I will probably leave again soon, as well. Is it a handful Lucas, which could be up to five, or just the two of us? Regardless, we are trolling the trolls. And guess what? If you do leave again, which hopefully you will, then El Jefe and I will have NOTHING to troll against, because the two people that take over threads and make them all about themselves will no longer be here. And when did Veronica start 'trolling'? When she was attacked by ATP for posting something in his food thread that he didn't like and she stood up for herself. If ATP had responded to her initial post with a little more tact, which is something he is obviously not capable of doing, then the outcome would have been different and she wouldn't be trolling you because you are sticking up for your drinking buddy. And IF Veronica is Liz, then who did/does Liz argue with here the most???? ATP and you, Lucas. (And before you say, "And this person and that person and that person", read below). And now just a little back story about Liz, specifically for you Lucas, which i'll try to make as short as possible. I met Liz briefly at Tiki Oasis in 2012 and when i said i was going up to SF for a few days she gave me her number and told me to contact her when i was there and she would show me around. She took me to places i would never had had the chance to see on my own because she was driving, and i was extremely grateful for that, BUT, within 5mins of being in her company i could see EXACTLY why a lot of people don't like her. I met people while we were out who wouldn't join us/talk to me because they didn't want to sit with Liz. However, she was good to me and i got along with her fine and we stayed friends on Facebook, until....... Going back about 18 months or so she attacked/criticized on Facebook, a mug maker who i've met and know personally, and that was it for me. There was no call for being so nasty and having a go at him. I unfriended her and when she asked me why, i let loose and spoke to her, and said things, in a way i don't think she has ever had anyone ever do before and for someone with such a big mouth and attitude, the best she could come up with as a response, was, "Whatever. Have a good life". Last year at Oasis she would not even look me in the eye whenever i saw her. My point to all that is, she has an attitude problem and issues with lots of people but the two main people she argued with on this site are the same two people El Jefe and I argue with, you Lucas, and you're drinking buddy ATP. So that's three people arguing with the same two. So the common denominator in that is ATP and Lucas. Remove them from the equation and there is no-one left to argue with. This is seriously the last time i will ever respond to any comments you make Lucas. I know the content will just be, "Woe is me and The Beatles suck (give it a $%#@ing rest will you?)". And for the record, in 2014 i told ATP the date i was going to be at Don The Beachcombers if he wanted to actually meet in person, not to become best friends, but just to talk and see if he is as nice a guy in person as some people always say, and he never showed up. He went every other Monday but didn't the day i happened to be there. Why not? Was he too scared to be proved wrong that he's just as much of an ass in person as he is on the computer?

Do we really want a system full of posts where each has 1,000 meaningless "nice post" and "good job" replies? Hell no, that'd be really bad too. Not exactly, but at the same time YES. Those 1,000 post are not 'meaningless' AT ALL. What they are doing are showing the person that spent the time to post that their contribution is acknowledged and appreciated and not in vain. People seek validation and acceptance, that's just human nature. If you aren't going to recieve either of those things then why bother putting in the effort for other peoples benefit when you get nothing in return?
