Well Robert, I agree that you are a tough guy but I'm not and there are no threats that have been issued to you by me. Perhaps your reading comprehension is not what it once was.

I'm sure that your Recon buddies would be proud of your conduct here online but I'm not. Would you have called the one you disliked the most in your unit a "hOmO"? I doubt it.

You are acting like a childish and churlish old crank and disrupting the normal ebb and flow of the board. There is nothing I can do about it but to point it out to you, hope it finally dawns on you and you realize what a ass you are being.

Having experienced the absolute inanity of the Shotgun Sports "skeet" board a few yrs. ago, I was very surprised at the nearly universal helpfulness of Gunshop contributors. A few digs and occasionally that schoolmarmish "Oh really, rabbit" when I really put my foot in my mouth. I also didn't much care for "gentlemen" who got bored and decided to crosstalk about classic cars in the middle of someone else's thread. I was always suspicious that this was an indirect way of saying "This is really so ho-hum!" You know who you are (Ted S.) But there's the line about when in Rome so I believe you adjust your personal preferences to allow a bit of leeway for the other guy to breathe (and talk and even twaddle) in his own way. I wouldn't think a thing of discussing bikes with Parris George or the Fighting Blue Hens with Bill if he were still around and I might just do it smack in the middle of your thread. There are some true masters here who display a self-effacing modesty and of course some who don't. If Robt. Chambers is looking for desciples to sit at his feet, many of us might be willing to play that role. But it's a party line in the forum; many will lurk, some will flatter, and some won't give you no respect whatsoever. A little cross-chatter, an occasional dustup, some misunderstandings--all can be made right. But the argument ad hominem always invites a counterpunch and things get out of hand. Anyway, I've got accustomed to LG and the HomelesS OnE warts and all. I haven't quite got used to Mr. Chambers' often expressed requirements for a close reading of the "relevance" or "on topic" issue. He may have a point but it's a bigger world than just shotguns.
