Violating my own proscription: Here are the relevant points:
. .1) The man is not well; he is possibly bi-polar; He is a frustrated elementary school "hall monitor." He glories in an "enemies list" and "attention," begging for comments, any comments, on his unhinged rants.
. .2) 8 years ago he virtually destroyed this board - invading every line, insulting posters, threatening.
. .3) He was only reined in with difficult after Dave was warned he was driving serious members away.
. .4) He is now back, doing the same thing over and over, line after line, which have to be locked.
. .5) And, he contributes nothing but invective.
I have seen other forums ruined by such behavior. His actions are certainly all about forcing his opinions down the throats of other free men, while he capers about shouting "Look at me!!"
Quick reply to our Soldier of Fortune Argo44:
..1) This is funny coming from an actual "Hall Monitor" who has cried to Dave repeatedly, and even had him remove Posts from his precious E.M. Reilly Thread by several of us who dared to question his "facts" and sources. Low on facts and long on sheer conjecture, it's a joke. Still zero proof that E.M. Reilly was a large firearms manufacturer who employed over 300 people. And how many times have we seen him "begging" for "attention" with frequent off-topic nonsense that had nothing to do with Double Guns. Dude can't stop posting pics of his old Rolex, as if it's a big deal, yet he is afraid to spend a modest amount on a shotgun lest his wife find out.
..2) It should be easy for Argo44 to prove that I virtually destroyed this board 8 years ago... invaded every line... threatening, etc. But he can't. Actually, Argo44 once actually threatened to drive north to Pa. to confront me at my home. I half expected an old maniac in his old Army uniform to come rolling up my driveway in his Jeep with a tripod mounted machine gun. He should be able to very easily prove and show just where I have threatened anyone here... but he is lying of course. He is a very sick man who feels he must tell lies to make a point. Maybe he should have Joff manufacture some FALSE THREAT QUOTES, and attribute them to me. He has admitted to going off the rails here when he drinks too much. He needs mental help bad.
..3) There was no difficult reining in by Dave. It was very easy for Dave to give me a 30 day ban the day after I committed the grave sin of resorting to using the "Notify a Moderator" function to report every instance where four gutless cowards were engaging in their coordinated Doxxing attack. Prior to that, I had been reacting by replying to each Doxxing, and then asking Dave to delete the personal information they posted... which was a violation of the rules these phonies preach about, but don't follow. They Doxxed jOe as well, because they think they alone should decide who can Post here. That should sound familiar to Princess SKB and others who accuse me of trying to control content here. Dave was kind and patient to delete their Doxxing, but they thumbed their noses at him and continued doing it. These Internet Warriors are probably hoping Dave will get sick of this, and just ban me again, permanently. God forbid I should respond to multiple personal attacks as I'm doing here. Dave announced his 30 day ban of me, Steven Hughes, rocky mtn bill, and two weeks for the Nutty Professor. Bob Cash and Princess SKB somehow escaped any punishment although they were very active participants. Princess SKB has accused me of confessing to hacking the computer of another member here, and has been repeatedly asked to show a shred of proof. ShortShells did indeed leave evidence in cyberspace of his internet searches of me, and plans to send a threat to my home from another city in New York. Princess Stevie also did extensive internet searches of me because she also needed to be vindictive and dig for dirt on me. All I had to do was Post some false information about myself on another website, and wait for the idiot to repeat it here as fact. No hacking was necessary to learn about that, or ShortShells similar activity. Hacking is illegal, and if I had ever done that, the Princess could have gone to proper legal authorities with evidence. Just more lies from Princess SKB, and it will never change. Here's Daves announcement:
The following members are banned.
Keith
SDH-MT
Rocky Mountain Bill
*1 month off
BrentD
*2 weeks off.
I can�t believe grown men can act in such a ridiculous manner.
Frankly, I don�t need the aggravation .... If you screw with the board....I will shut you off.
I tested my ban by logging in and found that I was still able to make a test Post, which I quickly deleted. Then I decided to just do as Dave wished, and I sat out for a bit more than 30 days. I'm still amazed that Bob Cash and Princess Stevie escaped any punishment, and that the Nutty Professor only got a two week suspension. I never got an explanation, and probably never will. Then later on it was just as easy for Dave to respond to a campaign of whining complaints from Argo and several of his Liberal Left friends who thrive on Censorship as a tool, and they convinced him to subject me to Moderation. Princess SKB thought this was just peachy until he/she got slapped with the same Moderation punishment for behavior that he/she would like everyone to believe she is totally innocent of. Argo will never mention the many Thread disruptions done by Princess SKB, Bob Cash, the Nutty Professor, etc... because that would require honesty and integrity.
..4) Argo44 is again blaming me and me alone for some Threads that have recently been locked. This old fraud is attempting to get away with saying I alone disrupted these Threads. Dave has said in the past that he only locks or deletes a Thread after he gets too many whining complaints from crybabies like Argo44... and we know that's a lot. But now, since I am subject to Moderation, Dave reads each and every Post I make before it is approved by him. Dave has the power to totally shut me off, and never Post a single thing I submit. If Argo44 and other don't wish to see Threads locked, they should grow a set and just stop bothering Dave with all of their disingenuous crying and attempting to blame one person for the very same behaviors they tolerate and approve from their Liberal Left friends.
..5) Argo44 calls verifiable facts like these "invective" and will never prove what he has said, or provide any list of names with proof that I alone have driven dozens of good men away. It would help immensely if Argo44 & Co. practiced what they preach, and demanded the same adherence to rules and civility for everyone. But they will always continue to make exceptions for themselves, and attempt to blame and censor anyone who gets in their way and points out their hypocrisy and lies. I've challenged each of my Fan Club, and thus far not one of them has had the stones to reply to my questions. I won't hold my breath waiting.
Does Argo44 see behavior like Joff manufacturing false QUOTES as a way to ruin a forum??? You can bet your ass he doesn't, because Argo44 feels lies and deception is OK from his friends. The ends justify the means.
