ABF | Welcome Your new ABF moderator

Man o man, the one weekend i go out and "try n live a normal life" meaning not workin on the weekend and going out to a halloween party then today going out with the family, i miss my fellow teamster brother moving on up on tb.com and becoming the mod. Congrat ABFER, you are one of the fairest guys on here. Just think if your new title came with having a running mate,(i bet you would pick stoney or rollin62). I know one thing for sure THERES A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN........ AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT HES PRO UNION!!!!!!!!! Congrats again brother
 
For starters you apparently don't realize that labeling someone as Marxist, Socialist or ignorant is offensive and uncalled for.

I can say from my experience, I have been Labeled as such by Mr Stoney and a few others on here.... Speaking for myself personally, I didn't take it as a personal insult.... I disagreed about the accuracy of such a label.....but if someone is an actual "Marxist" or a "Socialist" or a "Conservative" Liberal" or a whatever label they wish to place on themselves...then it shouldn't be offensive to that person. However in all honesty I think that those labels are used, much to often, in a derogatory manner meant to be uncomplimentary, to put it politely.....

"When I use the term "Ignorant", I'm simply saying that person doesn't have all the facts on that particular subject. I've called myself ignorant on this forum.

I would have to disagree about the usage of the word "Ignorant"... That term is offensive to almost everyone...and I would think that you would feel insulted if called that....However, with that being said....a person that doesn't have all the facts, as regards any particular topic, might be considered as being "uninformed".... there is a difference..

I've called myself ignorant on this forum.

Perhaps you meant to say that you may have been "uninformed"... ?

We all may have divergent points of view on here about a wide range of topics, however we should all realize that those differences should not define us as human beings...It has been my personal experience in life that when we look past a persons political beliefs, as an example, .....and begin to understand that we all have more things in common than what separates us, that allows us to achieve a better understanding of one another and forge friendships rather than adversaries...

Mr Stoney and I have most certainly had our share of disagreements on here....but when I read his posts of an "everyday nature" it provides a different insight into the person...rather than the differing opinion on a particular topic....that is one of the great things about the "What am I doing or did today" thread started by Mr Airbrakes...

Good Luck To ABFer as Forum Moderator! I think he will be a fine moderator....as a matter of fact... I think that all of the moderators on Truckingboards do an excellent job...
 
And.....as far as anyone calling someone management,.....I will own up to that one. It's my firm opinion that Rollin 62 is management. His older posts on Conway's board, and his refusal to give any specifics as to exactly where he says he's hired with ABF,....and his comments as a supposed "new hire",.... which are very inconsistent with any new hire coming from a non-Union environment to a Union one,......all these things lead me to believe Mr. Rollin62 is not who he portrays himself to be. I'm not concerned with "protecting" my identity on here,....or anyplace I express my opinion,....I'll stand behind any statement I made,....face to face , if need be. That's why I'm not so concerned about keeping my identity a "secret". Follow my recent posts, and you'll see that I've posted my real name, and the terminal I work out of,.........Greensburg, Pa. 310. I've asked Mr. Rollin62 to do the same,....or at least just a terminal number...... If he wants to make such inflammatory statements about Unionism and our contract provisions, then I'd want him to "man-up" and prove that he'll stand behind such statements. Stoney and I disagree on many things,....including respect and civility,.....but Stoney's one saving grace is that he is who he says he is,......works out of Phoenix,...road driver,...and he will stand behind his statements,.....no matter how..............sorry, looking for a polite adjective here,.....well,...we know. If I've wronged you,...Rollin62,...I would apologize profusely. But,....you've given me no reason to think I'm wrong. You're hiding behind a curtain of anonimity,...and making catcalls. I can't respect that.......

Too early for what? We all know the "ratification" will go through......are you waiting to announce that you're management after "ratification"?
