If it's any consolation...
Dear sdtom,
I am sorry to hear that. To be quite honest, I have noticed a sentiment that verges on the arrogant ever so slightly on this forum a few times, and it might have been the same with you, but I personally love the excitement of so many here and the interesting questions and pictures people post, so please continue to be one of them, just for the sake of more post-passive members like me. It might be that some people who are not native English speakers (like me) are not aware of how their sometimes rather poorly chosen words might be conceived, and some people are simply not very subtle, including moderators of fora like this one. A few months ago I complained to another forum about rather racist-sounding jokes, and it took quite some convincing on the part of the moderator before my initial post – complaint – was left open, but it was moved nonetheless, since it "had nothing to do with watches" (which I think is a dangerously irresponsible view). To me a forum like this one is about sharing experiences and information, and creating a community of people with a shared love of something (I avoid the word "interest" since that is not strong enough), and if you feel we/they don't want you to fit in for no good reason, then that is indeed a shame, but I strongly doubt that is the case here. Certainly does not apply to me.
Regards,
Roald

Well, I don't see what you mean. Ylou post pics of your watches, and you perfectly know that there is a risk all your watches may not please to everybody. This is not a risk, this is certain. And some of your watches will please a lot. That's the game, my...
Well Sdtom

Greetings Tommysol, Weren't you unwelcomed on those other Panerai forums? The Purists are great bunch and very welcoming. There's no need for anyone to prove themselves here. I've been traveling so I just reviewed this forum and haven't found any evidence...

.... a lot of people here spend a lot of time on this forum .... . I, for instance enjoy your pics (i'm not a huge Panerai-fan) and so do others here. We don't always have the time to make a reply (whether it be positive or negative) but we sure do enjoy ...

I guess that we are all free to express our feelings and disappointments, but I feel that you may be going a little to far in you criticism of this forum and its moderators. I'm not a regular contributor to this forum but do make a post from time to time ...

Woa slow down buddy! I really do not understand , like Anthony here , in which of your threads did someone post something that negative that you feel this way? I for one definitely enjoy your posts, and in fact even reply to virtually all of them! I admir...
