The good thing with this thread is that you can find out the source of the conflict.

No heart ache for me Bulldog,

My advice is still the same...

If vollies are in the station and the career guys are cleaning the station, trucks, or equipment, get up and help. That will get you in better than anything else.

Can't say you weren't warned about such topics. The advice still remains, you can't fix one problem without looking at everything, including the mirror to. There is always more to a story than what you originally posted.
