what you think is a better saw husky 346xp or stihl ms 260 pro

Well if all the thousand of rookies and neophytes here will be permanently harmed by accidentally seeing me running a chainsaw without a helmet and chaps, then maybe I'm hanging out at the wrong forum. I didn't know this was Arboristsite. 

Downeast, you are really starting to irritate me. Why don't you go take a long walk on a short pier. Or maybe I'll just quit contributing anything here and all you rookies can play amongst yourselves.  

The single biggest drawback of this particular forum software is that there is no 'ignore' function to block out idiot users. If there were, then I could ignore you and you could ignore me since you don't seem to like me or my posts.

Hey boy, you deserve being "irritated". Who cares. The point: too many of you brag about being oh so pro. Act it. In this system taxes pay for emergency care. You all can wear what the H you want. Please sign the form that says:" since I am too stupid to use simple protection, I will not accept any free care. I will pay for private EMTs, the private ambulance, the ER.' Signed and notarized by Mr Rocky J. And that includes Norway!

Why would anyone want to hire fools with risky behavior on their property ? No one we know. 

Forget guilt. You want to pout about being "liked" ?  Poor baby. Your posts can be informed, can be Forest Gump. Not important.

"Lead, follow, or get out of the way." Lead means lead. And the others who agree with the Rocky show, fine. You're free. 

Idiot out.

I think all this is going a little too far.  If you dont care for someone here its easy enough to ignore them, but no need to antagonize people just for the sake of doing so.  Come on guys, we are all adults here, and if some of us choose to do something one way or another, thats that persons business. Is PPE a good thing, yes, and using PPE has its obvious benefits.  But if a guy chooses not to, its their business.  Sure its bad practice, and the risks are obvious, and yes its a bad thing to push on others, but no need for all this. Nobody is condoning unsafe practice here. I have and use chaps, gloves, helmet...but if I have a quick cut or two, Im confident that my use of caution and knowing what im doing will most likely be enough. And Im not a pro, not even close.

Exactly - the most important PPE is your brain anyway!

Okay, here it is. Once, plain and simple.

I do not want to see this sort of behavior on my forum. PERIOD.  I don't want to hear its his fault. I don't want to hear He started it. I don't want to hear anything.  You all know how I run the Forestry Forum and each one of you know that this exchange is well beyond anything I'll tolerate.   
One more word, one more exchange in public like this and I'll just start banning the ability to post and there may be a good chance that its You I ban (whoever you happens to be). If you feel the need to tell one another how much you love each other, do it in private.

You must enjoy something about this forum or you would not be here mucking it up, so DONT MUCK IT UP. I won't stand for anybody that wants to alter the family atmosphere I've tried to maintain for almost a decade now.

Go to your rooms little boys before daddy gets the belt.

Wow, Jeff , I actually heard my dad's voice for a second in the middle of my flashback.
