Re: [a/s] Concerned Airstreamer Speaks Out



Me too... I love to see lots of posts, especially when they are informative 
etc.  Unfortunately threads like this one, where people make the posters feel 
they shouldn't have strong opinions, make the posts drop dramatically. People 
are afraid to post because others say they are intimidated. 

I'm with you Lee..... I like people's opinions and I won't apologize for 
thinking my $40,000 truck is a great tow vehicle. It is.  I think there has 
to be a certain amount of responsibility when posting opinions.  For example, 
if I write and say I'm a newbie and have a 10,000# tri axle 34' trailer.. 
what can I tow it with.  No one should write back and say a   tiny SUV would 
be perfect.  That's irresponsible, and could get someone killed. I see no 
reason why the people who have trucks, and the people who have vans can't 
write and say they pull the same trailer with their truck/van.... and it's 
been a wonderful experience. Same with people who own Hensleys and Pullrites 
as well as Reese WD hitches.  

When anyone signs on to an email list they have to expect others to have 
strong opinions.  It's like walking into a party with 200 people, you won't 
agree with everyone, so just ignore what you don't want to hear. As long as 
people aren't rude or a real pain in the butt their opinions are welcome 
here. Discord isn't welcome, experiences and opinions are. 

We have people on this list with $1,000.00 trailers and people with 
$80,000.00 trailers.  I have never seen either act like theirs is better. 

There's no way any list is only going to have posts and topics that everyone 
is going to like.  That's life.
