    Just because I explained about the different electricity system in Slovenia and Austria some people get mad so I now decided that I will not post anything on forum anymore.
    Even got a PM about it.

    Nobody got mad at you for that? I only explained that it doesn't have to be 'that' realistic screenshot. A person thought we were derailing a topic so he asked both of us to stop, kindly.
    And just to correct you, the locomotive in the screenshot is OBB 2016 Diesel locomotive. Not 1016 as you thought.

    Not being funny but if you're going to stop posting then it's best to... Just stop..

    Announcing a "flounce" never ever ends well for the person who's usually looking for reaffirmation that "everything's going to be ok, please stay"

    Trust me, I've been around various different forums for a looooong time.

    I would post a fitting meme for this thread, but I'll refrain from doing that.

    I can understand that, at one point there were almost as many posts debating what Austrian locos can be used in Slovenia as there were screenshots being offered for inclusion in the comp.
    It does state in the rules:-

    I wouldn't let anyone push you out. If someone doesn't like what you post, then tough luck.
    Just put them in your ignore list.

    Let's not forget people of a much younger age post here and they aren't as mature as some adults, not forgetting though that one's intellectual age isn't always matched by one's actual age by some here.

    If they are they shouldn't be doing so. Dovetail's Terms of Use require users of the site to be 16+ and if I remember correctly you have to supply your DOB when you register for an account. So it's reasonable to assume that posters are near adults or older.

    What irritated me about the OP's comments on last week's competition thread was that a few weeks earlier he said he was going to pause his competition activities because of work demands. If you're going to stay away from the competition, the stay away. Don't jump in with posts that in effect say "This screenshot isn't realistic, don't let it win." It was also nit picking as the OBB 1016 and OBB 1216 have the same body shell (though the roof equipment is different) and at the distance seen in the screenshot it would be hard to tell them apart.

    Not surprisingly, some posters thought his comments were unnecessary and said so.

    But we all sometimes post things that are ill timed or clumsy. The sensible thing is just to learn and move on. Our posts are quickly forgotten and of no great importance. I don't see any reason for him to go off in a public huff and I hope he'll be back.

    Locking this here.

    As ever, if you feel another user is being abusive toward you report the post and it will be dealt with. If you opt to stop using the forum, it's always best to just quietly disappear rather than announce it. That way, if you change your mind and have something to say later you won't simply be confronted with a barrage of "I thought you'd stopped posting here" replies.
