New Here, my Medium Egg is my favorite cooker

epheweu

Hi all, new here - just thought I would say hello since I've been reading for months now and not really participating.  I have a couple opinions...might share, but seems some members are welcomed, and others blamed for how ruinous this forum has become. Any rhyme or reason how to stay in our out of one camp or the other??

Welcome!

Don't worry about sharing your opinions on any topic. At the end of the day we're one big happy family but like all families/siblings/neighbors we're gonna squabble occasionally. Just don't take it seriously.

Why did you choose a Medium?

Welcome, and This ^^^^^^^

Thank you both! Medium is our favorite - we call it our steak cooker...fires up hot and super fast. Had an XL but it was sold during a move. Decided to get one of those 'red' ones for the 24" replacement!  Don't hold it against us!  The kamados are all really great cooking devices. The medium has just always been the go-to dragon for steaks.  Thanks for chiming back

Welcome to the club.  Share away, most here are friends (sometimes hard to tell), but all are welcome.  You will learn to filter out the chaff and take away what you want.

Some of the issues go back years and have become part of the charm.

Also, my Medium is my absolute favorite Egg.

Back when it was a much friendlier place

Yup, it used to be a much friendlier place.  I like it better now 😉

Thanks for the welcoming notes. The 'friendlier place' discord sounds like I'm walking into an inside joke, but that's cool - will try to figure it out! Thanks again for the responses.

You are correct.  It comes from an old timer, @littlesteven ,who unfortunately passed away.  One of many many great members.  I think he stole it from someone else on greeneggers.com, but it became his tag line.

Ahh, good to know - thanks for the insight/ in-site

Unbelievable that some of these obvious troll accounts slip right past the mods.

Just focus on posting cooks and enjoying that side of the forum. IF you dive into one of the mega threads, don't take anything personally. If there is an event come to it, it'll put a face with a lot of the names and will make some of the inside jokes make more sense.

I think you are 100% correct on that assumption!

Sometimes it is hard to believe this forum is free. They should consider charging $8 a month for a subscription.

Such an intelligent post from someone that works at a university.  You should be so proud of all that education that wasted your parents money for all those years. 8th grade mentality on view here John.  Let’s move the bar up a bit to high school level posts….lol.  Your not impressing the new member with your supreme knowledge, based on your immature posts.  The new members are going to look at your post, your profile pic, and signature line and conclude that you are a “nut case”.

Now it's a party.  Welcome to the forum.  Ignore the trolls, they are good fun, but sometimes you get slop on yourself if you play with them.

I read what you did there.  As leader of the 5th Column, I approve.

Also, long timers learn to slowly sound out every new members name.  There are some gems.
