Old bomb squads

[BMack]

I was never a part of the bombing groups but have friends on both sides of the argument. I can see both sides...but I think it's a difference of personality and a generational gap that created the issue. While it might look like they were puffing out their chest, the intention was always good. There was CERTAINLY a negative aspect of it as a few seemed to draw lines and you were either a cool kid or you weren't...but I think it all boiled down to a willingness to be a little immature and "fun" for some and a desire to keep the forum mature and 'respectable" from others. I can see both sides and respect both sides but personally it's a lot better now that the groups have a playground as an outlet.
