So, is Merry Christmas to all on Rttl appropriate

Post by Buckaroo »

Given that the traditional get together with the family, loved ones or whatever is somewhat messed up this year, what's an appropriate alternative greeting for Xmas 2020?

May I suggest "Fuck off you covid-infected bastard".

Indeed , Mrs M requires the car today and the ZH2 is stuck in its shed by the swamp of a back garden that is the Imperial security system, as if you set foot on it, it would swallow you up, never to be seen again.😂

But while we're on this discussion i would like to say a bit of a thank you to everyone at this time.

We started off small and we may in some contexts still be small, but we're very active and the place has shown great levels of community. Due to CV19 we've not been in a position to do much yet in the way of meetups, but we'll change that and the trackday extravaganza was brilliant.

But the posting and threads on here have been superb. Keep it up.

I know at times i have come over as a bit of a stick in the mud with some thread closures, some warnings etc and while you guys are learning how to do your job of posting, don't forget, i'm learning to my job as an Admin/Moderator too, as are the 3 moderators we have here. We'll make mistakes, as will you. But hopefully i've not upset too many of you and not too many of you have upset me :)

One thing i will repeat, time and time again... Without YOU and your content this place will not survive. So so so many forums i see out on the internet with a post or two in the last month, that's what this place will end up as. Unless both me and you and of course everyone else, produces content for the site.
I know we're only 350 or so people, but just 1 post a day each, we're flying.

Don't be scared to post topics, don't be scared to ask for advice, don't be scared to look foolish.

Most of all, have a merry merry drunken Xmas and look after yourselves and your family.

Wishing all on RTTL a joyous, healthy, peaceful and authentic Christmas. It is truly what you make it to be, not what other people say you should do, or what media and social platforms tell you do do. Be kind to yourselves, take time to reflect, take time to be sad or happy. Just remember, all those years ago, the infinite chose to be finite for our sakes and the world found itself loved like never before. Peace to all. Christ be with you.
Proverbs 17:9
One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.
