I miss Waterbug...

[JohnHuff]

I was away from the forum for awhile while doing something else and when I came back I found that Waterbug is gone! I don't know if there was some kind of argument between him and some other guy(s) but I kinda miss his postings.

His posts would rub people the wrong way sometimes but I usually found his information to be accurate even if the delivery was hard to take. OK, make that I almost always found his information to be accurate. So, is Waterbug gone for good?

He takes a break once in a while

 

[Mmathis]

I hope it's just a break. I too, had noticed his absence.

He does have good info but his delivery is among the worst I've seen. Especially when he goes off saying an idea is a bad one and everyone is stupid but follows that up with nothing usefull.

 

[HARO]

Really? I find most of his posts not only useful, but thought-provoking. But yes, his bedside manner is in need of a bit of polishing! :cheerful:

I was wondering where he was too.

I miss his posts.

 

[DrCase]

I always enjoy his view of things

 

[HTH]

He is unique.

I like Waterbug, he is my friend. He is entertaining and can cause quite a stir with some of his posts, just makes for reading all the more EXCiTinG!!

Couldn't agree more.
In a nut shell,,,,, Waterbug often had some insightful information to dispense, but (like anybody) he'd occasionally get certain things wrong, His biggest problem is he was (is) a terrible debater, and when a disagreement would crop up he'd often resort to trying to belittle those who have an alternate viewpoint rather then staying on topic with the discussion at hand. It's too bad because he'd get a lot more respect if he could stay clear of those tactics.

Don't feel bad Chuck, I'm on that ignore list too, I once tried to PM him an applogy for something I posted that he took offence to and found out I was on his ignore list.
The lone wolf don't like to get PMs. LOL

Actually, what amazes me is that for someone who seems so insensitive when dishing it out to people, he's actually seems very sensitive and easily hurt when he's on the receiving end.

This is keeps getting better. How do I find out if I'm on his ignore list? Do I have to PM him first and see if I get a rejection?
