gee mikie, is that you down there peering out of the shadows?

dont know what your definition of a troll is, but your post above certainly fits mine...however, i will now skip over the bridge and pay you no mind...

fin: good advice...

Ed, I'll repeat the questions since you neglected to answer them.

Ed, you ostensibly post your full name here, but are also one of the most egregious abusers of this forum. How do you explain that? What do you call posting all of your anti-gun crap on a shotgun forum besides trolling? How about the threats in PM's that have gotten you banned for all too short time periods?

So tell us... just how many times have you been banned from this forum now? How about other forums too? I wish AmarilloMike would bring back his "Pledge Drive to Permanently Ban Ed Good" that ran in the old Misfires forum. My $100.00 is still on the table.

Do you think there is even one person here who would miss you if you were gone? I'm your only friend here, and I wouldn't miss you.

You also never answered me when I asked if you'd like me to reprint our PM exchange when you thought that I was King Brown, posting under a pseudonym, with the goal of causing disruption and turmoil to bring down Misfires. Why did you agree that would be a great idea? Is it because your primary goal here is to cause trouble?

Here's one more question that you asked Ed... during your anti-gun trolling:

Ed,

You�re a grown-ass man so stop being a cry baby. If you don�t have thick skin, don�t share your opinions or squabble about metallurgy and gunsmithing.

Seriously, the notion that online discourse deteriorates when people are free to write under the protection of pseudonyms is flawed. It's a holdover from the past. I do understand why people think (wish?) it were so. We�ve all certainly noticed it�s a lot less pleasant to argue with someone when you can see their eyes. Well, that isn�t possible online, and the same social standards can�t, don�t, and shouldn�t apply. Your name, or lack of, has nothing to do with it. This isn't interpersonal.

Frankly, people who learned their manners before the internet don�t understand the new rules and get worked up over things they shouldn�t. An online insult isn�t the same a real insult, just as you don�t cuddle a chick after she sexts you.

I want to change my name to "Squib Load Banjo Chord"

It's damn strange to me that Ed paints a bulls eye on his chest and then wonders why people shoot at him.

While you are right that online insults are not the "same" as an insult to one's face, they are insults nonetheless. If your understanding that modern etiquette allows for the nasty rude and bothersome internet behavior as ok then our society is on a short path.

The interweb makes me want to knock everyone the F out.

Thanks, Al.

I wasn't going to comment, but I thought this was worth saying.
I use to get pissed off and wonder why, Dave doesn't just ban Ed and be done with it. Then, it dawned on me that because Dave has elected not to ban him, and good folks here are quick to call BS on Ed's shenanigans, it has saved me from a couple of purchases that I am sure had I made, would have lead to regret.

Keep up the good work gentleman.

Food for thought.

Kind of a nothing thread going on here, but I thought I'd just point out that this forum was criticizing Ed long before he began posting here. I guess he felt he had to begin posting to deflect some of the bad PR he was getting. I'm not sure whether he's helped himself or not...Geo
