This will probably fall on deaf ears, but I gotta say it anyway. You’re trying your hardest to run a legitimate business. You want your work and your work ethic to speak for itself. You really should limit yourself to professional type interactions online. You want potential customers to see your work, see you asking questions when you need help, and just being an overall “good dude”. Be personable, be humble, and resist the urge to exchange banter with trolls. What works for me is finding someone in your life to be your filter. I had a real problem with emails at work and may have dug a few holes in my career. A good friend gave me a checklist to go through before I sent an email. It’s saved me from a lot of one sided, closed door, type conversations you don’t wanna receive in the workplace. Long story short, your filter is bad and you need to find a new one.

I agree, for most part I keep my stuff pretty clean on here these days.
Plus let's face it, nobody from this board anyways would ever come to me for work, no matter how "good" I got...fact! And that's for many reasons, some worthy, most not, but I'm cool with that.

ehhhit depends on the job in question.
Me and @jeepinmatt were talking this week - I wish you were closer actually. Ive got a job that I cant find time to get to, that Im confident you would knock out and do well and for a fair price. Just trans to and from you would kill the deal.
If you were closer Id def send some business your way.

I wouldnt (yet - today) use your fab skills, but I try to never say never...
 
Perks of being self employed: take my birthday off and work on my rig!! Sliders with boat sides coming along and got me a good deal on this so went with it. Change to rope later.

I want one too. My old one died a few years ago and was just too ragged to fix. I’m thinking the nice HF one is what I’m gonna get.
