Ok.


I have made posts that have irritated some folks. In person you will find me to be a VERY friendly person but also very opinionated. I very much enjoy a good debate but sometimes folks take my humor seriously (all to easy to do in a written media). I am by nature and culture a very dominate person with little regard for others feelings (the oilfield isn't a place for cupcakes).


In some cases I would prefer to back completely out of a narrative but it isn't possible (based on what I am hearing here). Sometimes the explanations trying to resolve the misunderstandings are themselves misunderstood.


I'll try to dial back my posts on here but I also feel that folks asking for opinions deserve to hear multiple arguments particularly when it may cost them thousands if they make a wrong choice (for instance buying the wrong truck for their needs).


I will say I am NOT thin skinned and don't mind someone telling me to calm down every now and then when it is warranted.
