bluewave Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I Love the pbp, but the pissing contest has to stop. The analysis differs some, but in fairness, different areas are being described. No commentary is really that far off base, people need to just relax a little bit. What I think is a huge problem, is when people who have 60 posts come into a thread at that time and start calling people terrible posters and asking for banning. Now that's a huge problem, and extremely ridiculous and uncessesary Yeah, I think that the PBP threads are great and people shouldn't come down so hard on anyone that is willing to perform the service especially when many people are at work and just peeking in on a mobile phone. I just don't get the anger that pops from time to time in very busy threads. Most people in here share the same passion for weather and the few who are overly contentious need to take a break. There is nothing more annoying than threads getting chocked up with disputes. I think the classic example of this was the January 2008 storm thread that turned into a big brawl and the thread starter deleted it in the middle of all the observations when it was obvious that it was too warm for the snow that was forecast.

Sickman Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I was going to post this in the 3/2 thread, but it seems to have calmed down and I didn't want to add to the banter, so I'll put it here. I was out most of the afternoon getting rehab/therapy on my leg. John and Doug haven't been on (mods have lives... what a concept!). So, a little while ago, I log on and read the 3/2 thread, and it was quite frankly some of the worst **** I've ever seen on here... and that's saying something. Pages of back-and-forth bickering, arguing, and off-topic banter, not by newbies, but long-time members that I would think should know better. It was embarrassing, and the people involved should be embarrassed as well. Regardless of who started what, the right thing to do would be to take it to PM, or even the banter thread... not keep it going, page after page. Just think how it makes this subforum look to guests and newer members. I deleted a pile of posts in that thread. If I ever see something approaching that level of train-wreck again, warnings and restrictions will be given, regardless of board-standing or reputation. Let's try to act like adults here. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 PBP is also better if people don't predict what the model will show, but rather just tell us what the model IS showing. This. This with extreme prejudice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I guess your right to a point. However, it is mostly just stirring the pot, and I think that's all that was going on today.

NorthShoreWx Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Did a little data mining on the 19 years of record IMBY. The snowiest 7 day period on average has been February 7 - 13 with a total of 88.2 inches of snow over the period...or an average of 4.64" of snow for that week. Not surprising that this is in February, but cool to see it statistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hate the NY post sometimes. I have seen so many times, and even happened to me once, where i did not have exact change for the bus on my metrocard and the bus driver always let me get on for free if you ask nicely, i have seen it done alot too. So sad to hear this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
