The official hotboat.com "We get letters" thread

Let me correct that a "LITTLE"
Its what you ALLOW it to be.
You are so Kumbaya. You kind of remind me of Rodney King. "Can't we all just get along" Sure we can Vic. Just do this. Then click your heel together 3 times and repeat, "there's no place like home, there's no place like home"

It is what it is, because YOU and the core group are comfortable with the way it is. Possibly at the risk of how uncomfortable it is for outsiders.

This place is like a hot babe. Your smile and words say "welcome", but your body language says "touch me and I will break your nose"

Little story Bob, true story. Years ago, I would say at least 20, I was a little younger then and a hell of a lot more impressionable. I'm a little thick and crusty now and a hell of a lot less apt to judge people based on their outer coating. Anyway, I used to work with a couple of guys who between the two of them couldn't put two positive words together to save their lives.

We called them "Doom and Gloom".

Doom and Gloom absolutely never had anything good or positive to say about anyone or anything. They were two perfect peas in a pod. No one could convince these guys that the sky was not falling and that they were not going to die of a disease infected mosquito bite.

Working with them really was the worst experience of my working career.

I made a pretty conscious decision back then to do everything in my power to stay as far away as possible from the doom and glooms of the world.
I try to be as positive an influence, as I can, in everything I do.

I can't control everything that gets posted here, but I can do my best to keep the negativity away.

So am I all Kumbaya? Maybe I am Bob. Is that a bad thing?? I sure can think of worse things to be
