Get to know your nominees

I just realized it is foolish to use any cacher's home base as a guideline. It would make more sense to use the centroid of their finds. Mine for example, is N44° 07.081 Latitude on a N-S plane, a mere 19.813799 miles north of Chadd's centroid. Well look at that, we're both southerners!

That being said, location make very little difference. Haffy and Gob-Ler as well as a few other out of state members could manage fine as board members here, though the requirements do require they are regular cachers here.

You must blink very slowly. I posted a reply to that post and I even spent a few minutes thinking about it before posting.

Like others have said, it's not that you don't have good intentions for geocaching. You obviously have strong feelings for the hobby. It's the brunt and often insulting comments you make as well. You may not think they are but the majority of people on here appear to take them as such. No one here wants to see posts deleted as, I'm sure, the moderators don't want to delete them. If you'd take some advice from others and back off on the antagonistic posts, your posts would be left alone.

That is more of a question for the moderators anyway, not the board. The board does not moderate. That thread was active for 19 hours until another member made a post which I felt was going to send the thread further downward, as did a few other members who reported it.

Chad, I do not speak up here to often but you just seem to want to come on here and press everyones buttons. This site is not designed for that. If you want to try to cause trouble please do that on another web site and not here. We are not going to tolerate this anymore. This thread was started to let users Get to know there nominees. Lets keep in on that track, Please.

Good. I'm glad I can push your buttons too!

My comment on the adoption thread was to the point. Take it as rude. Take
It as me pushing buttons. I really could care less. What it comes down to is that when someone with strong rational ideas comes into play and shakes up the old school way of thinking about Geocaching, you all get very upset.

So someone forms a website that people can come to and get help/support from each other, puts in countless hours for the benefit of anyone, and you are glad you can push his buttons on his own site? Quite an accomplishment to be proud of.

He admits to pushing people buttons, he is banned for seven days to start with. Lets try to get this back on subject please.

Thank You!

Regrettably, Rick's decision was the right choice. Chadd needs to learn a few manners. I hope something positive comes of this.
