Great workout inside the truck

And then sometimes it is "if the shoe fits"
We just may put Hot Spring Portable Spas in our trucks, and we are going to "boast about it"

Wait a minute.....if I put something in my truck it is not "boasting"?
According to the Ateam.
What happens if I charge other drivers for spa usage?

Maybe it will be just "bragging"?

On a side note, I am amazed that Jim found that high dollar recreational reefer gym post.


Ok.....back on topic.

What's the deal? I go away for 10 days and I find you kids fighting when I get back? Play nice. By the way what do the other drivers think when your truck is rocking while you're working out? Personally this old chubby guy gets tired even thinking about it. Maybe I should work out just a little bit more myself.

Not sensitive, just a decision to be more attentitive. After letting your pot shots go unchallenged for a long time, I have decided to point them out in the future. Just as "boast" is in the eye of the beholder, so is pot shot. Attention to your use of vague references and value-laden terms before you post will be appreciated and will help keep your posts from being misunderstood. Before concluding a post from you is a pot shot, I'll try to be fair and ask first for you to clarify your meaning if it is not immediatly clear. Fair enough?

Oh yeah - the only time my truck is rocking is when I have the volume turned up...;)

Or not. I don't see how that would help anything. What would help is if you try harder to fairly characterize my posts when you refer to them and to think twice before using vague references and value-laden terms. Is that a fair request?

I don't expect that we can all remember each and every one of your posts going back at least 2 years and to also try avoid making comments in new threads that you will perceive as "shots" on any comment you have ever posted here. :+

That is a fair point. As I said above, "Before concluding a post from you is a pot shot, I'll try to be fair and ask first for you to clarify your meaning if it is not immediatly clear."

My intent in all of this is to try to get RichM from taking unfair and disrespectful pot shots at me, as he has repeatedly done in the past. Having mostly let them go in the past, I have decided to make an issue of them in the future.

See:http://www.expeditersonline.com/dcforum/DCForumID16/1594.html#21 for an example. Here, RichM, in a very disrespectful way, belittled and lampooned my post.

Should a moderator set such an example? I do not think so. If RichM had issues with what I said, there are more professional and positive ways to raise the issue and discuss them. In fact, if RichM had issues with what I said, a well-crafted response and dialogue could provide information of great interest and benefit to all readers.

In this case it is crystal clear that RichM is taking what I call a pot shot. It is not about posts made years ago. It is about a post that RichM specifically referes to in the present and then goes on to mock. That is bad form for any member, and especially for a moderator, I believe.

It is my sincere hope that after a few more of RichM's pot shots are exposed as such, the practice will stop.

I read through your example. I don't see any "pot shots".
There is little to question as you have wrote over a period of time that "experience doesn't matter"

If suddenly your opinion has changed, then maybe a different prospective could be provided.

The one with the resistance straps looks like it will give a decent 15 minute workout. Thanks F Amos for posting the links.

Example noted but I've also noted a theme of "research vs experience" in your posts which opens you up for comments such as the one you protest about particularly when some of your comments go against generally accepted concepts about the value of experience.

One can expect commentary, even belittling and lampooning and spin, when the original comments are somewhat controversial.

You cannot control what is beyond your control... so big deal, some of us are making fun of certain of your comments. Lighten up and get over it.

I'm just posting it as I see it here.

>Should a moderator set such an example? I do not think so.

Then perhaps you too could have used those methods rather than posting in here about it?
