Hellos to alle, I am a forin builder of modeles whos beene involveded in hobbie fore manie years. But nots so goodes with englishes. Recentlie manie expertile builders of modele nominates mieself for user of months (UOM) because of my expertile advices on bords call armorama, where I meets manie nicelie friends and shares goode time.
The ownere of boarde calls Stuff Jim saye Uday no can be nominatedes for UOM because Uday is frome Iraq.
Recives somes emails sayings otheres also upsets. saies all this aboute votes UOM is lies and some picks who is Uom, likes some little sabote guye who never evens showes supposede modeles he hase dones, and is oftens kritical and nastie unhelpsfull to othere. bute is friendes of Stuff Jims.
Tells alle abouts this. Verie Unfaire
This members contempt for myself and Rob is self-evident. I will say this again. Without people (and there were very few of them) like Rob, this site would not exist. It's early success was completely dependant on their input, participation and guidance. Uday is being immensly STUPID to say that Rob did not deserve a UOM. He deserves much more. As do many of the people who put their time and efforts into making this a great place to spend some time.
Enough said. I am not aimiing this rant at the vast majority of you. But I am asking the few of you that might be sympathizing with "Uday" to rethink your opinions of his actions based on this info.
Thanks,
Jim
