Yet at times what I’ve found is that some forumees, quite often the ‘older heads’ have been overstepping the mark and in my view taken the discussions too far where they’ve chosen to focus too personally on Joe: speculating on his health, his workload etc and this kind of intrusion I believe is going too far

Perfectly said...I've often thought this (in no way targeting anyone in particular)...i think many people forget that Joe is a grown man and can take care of himself

Oh no, now the the Funky Doctor of Love will have free reign over this place!

Actually Rick,

I want to thank you for the Turkey suggestions you sent me, looks delicious! I was thinking of brining my Turkey before hand as I've never done that before. However, we are pressed for time. I've grilled many full Turkeys out on the Weber Charcoal grill over time. Usually, I use some Lawry's Season Salt, fresh Granulated Garlic a little special spice we get from a local merchant and then rub the Turkey down with Olive Oil. This year I may also place a stick of butter in the cavity as some recipes call for, just as an experiment. I always grill it over indirect charcoals and add coals if needed depending of course, on the size of the Turkey. I baste it with a blend of Lawry's, Garlic, white wine and water mixture every 20 to 30 minutes. The drippings plus some of the liquid is used for gravy. To start the coals I use Weber's charcoal starter which sort of looks like a chimney and only use 2 1/2 sheets of newspaper. Starts every time and I've cooked out in 10 below weather and in rain too.

Anyway, I know we're off topic...what was the topic again?

Roy

Joe is the Best!

Re: Overstepping The Mark

Well that's a new one, being pressurised to delete my own thread. Well those of you would know me will know I write what I believe. Don't worry though I won't prolong this more than neccessary. Just got back home to the family, but I promise I'll log on to add a final comment before 11pm GMT this evening which will hopefully clarify a few things and then I'm happy for the topic to be closed (not deleted) and moved elsewhere. Please believe me though that the topic has never been written to be directed at one individual and I'm genuinely sorry if it has been interpreted like that. Laters...

Thanks for thinking of me, Jane (we need more of that around here). I do plan on being very entertained seeing Joe at the Ruth Eckerd Hall on Friday!!! We'll be thinking of you and Cathy while eating Lobster Bisque at Frenchy's on Clearwater Beach before the show.

Although I read this thread with some level of interest, I decided to stay out of the fray.
But Jeff pretty much summed up exactly what I was thinking... and did it in far less words than I could have.

https://forum.jbonamassa.com/viewtopic.php?id=7857 but it's well written, as per guidelines, and the discussion includes a Mod commenting on Joe's need for a vacation. Invasion of privacy? No. I say let this die. To any newbies, feel free to gush all you want including how good JB looks he's worked hard to get there. Cathy

"....skip the threads you find distasteful"... The original question that Roy asked was 'Does anyone else worry about Joe'. It was a question, not a statement and as such it got a response from a number of forum members that said, quite clearly, 'No', including me. Are you suggesting that we should only respond to a thread if we agree with it Cathy? This is a forum, not a place to blow smoke up each others arses and as such opinions will differ, sometimes drastically. I honestly believe that new members may be more concernd about posting on here after viewing the fanatical element rather than seeing those who can deal with the verbal (written) sparring and not take every difference of opinion as a personal put down.

Roy's question was rhetorical. How others view his or any other thread is not for you or me to judge. What matters is the way we interact. I won't spar with you here, again. I am more than glad to mix it up off forum in an e-mail. Fire away, but not here.

No it wasn't rhetorical, it was a straight up question with an explanation of why he worries about Joe and asking if others did too. And I don't have to judge how others viewed his thread, I saw their replies. There were no personal attacks on forum members and no making fun of. I still stand by my original reply and I find some members outlook a bit creepy and over the top. And I don't feel inclined to discuss the forum 'off forum' with you, I'll keep it in the open.
