Good post Jim.oldCop wrote:I am rapidly becoming a very old man...something I neither like nor can I control. I spent 30 years of my life as a cop, a great part of which involved trying to resolve conflict between people who for one reason or another, often ego, could not be civil to one another. I also have spent the last 62 years as a gun owner (admitedly, my first was a Daisy Red Ryder at the age of 5!) and have watched many attacks on our 1st Ammendment rights from a multitude of different sources...more particularly in the last 20 or so years.
My point is, we as gun owners cannot afford the infighting that has become rampant in this country because of "in your face" attitudes.....think "devide and conquer". We need all of the gun sites regardless of whether we find their member's reasons for subscribing to that particular forum are the same as ours or not. On the other hand, I abhor elitism, and simply go away when it rears it's head. But, as long as those persons are struggling with the rest of us to protect our rights to gun ownership, I am all for them and will do nothing to damage the forum they are a part of. I simply won't participate in their conversations if I diametrically disagree with their posts. I don't consider that this is a sign of weakness, and I don't consider it as being politically expedient, I just want a whole lot of people out there fighting for my grandsons' rights to enjoy forearms as I have for these many years.
I tried hard to avoid making this sound like a rant, and I wasn't trying to take sides in this, just offering another viewpoint from one with no personal equity in the discussion other than as a lover of fine guns..or not so fine guns for that matter. There is a place for all of them, although I endeavor to buy American when I can.
Cheers..
Jim
I agree with your view on the Marlin Owners--I got kicked off that one myself when one of their newbees ran about 20 jokes in one day--all belittling various ethnicities. Low Class. I took objection to Polish jokes,(that's my ancestry) and I expressed my opinion, not just on behalf of me, but for all of the other members of about 20 other groups of Americans who were belittled as well, and got kicked off for "foul language". Some things are OK--but this guy insulted everybody's ancestry that he could think of--no doubt a stupid narcissist trying to be funny. I wonder what the Marlin Owners vision is of political correctness is? Boneheads will be boneheads. I can do without websites like the Marlin Owners bunch of bigots.76/444 wrote:Yup!!! I hear ya brother!!!
Ninnies one and all.
You can add Marlin Owners moderators and Azshooter's to that list as well. If they are not just politically correct Awipes, they have other personal agendas at work. Or, they are just not gunners! All just boils down to cliquey power hungry narcissists, in my opinion. Some I have met just left me with an unsatisfied need to meet them in person,.... maybe some day!!
Good job Terry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, although the funniest part is that whereas formerly some folks wanted TM to QUIT using uppercase, NOW others are just as passionate that he RESUME doing so...Hobie wrote:Get off the cap lock stuff guys.

I hope we all devote this much energy and enthusiasm and advocacy come the next political election, and don't waste it on who types what and how...Hobie wrote:I'm going to say this once, fogitabutit...
Anyway, time to pick on someone else now. Perhaps Hobie could come up with a rotating schedule of who gets picked on each day. If a person is too thin-skinned to be poked fun at, he could stay off the forum that day, or we could let others 'substitute' and take the hit for him. Kind of like the 'carbon credit exchange'...
After reading your post over there I agree! If what Terry said was that terrible, he should have received a PM from the Moderator instead of what actually happened. He did not use any Profanity!Hobie wrote:I wonder how long MY post is going to last. I was kinda surprised that Joni Lynn is the moderator...
I DID GET A PM FROM HER WARNING ME I WAS ON DOUBLE-SECRET-PROBATION OR SOME EQUALLY STUPID THING, AND I THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL HER WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT AND THE WHINERS ON THAT SITE AMONG OTHER THINGS.Bigahh wrote:After reading your post over there I agree!

I DID NOT USE PROFANITY NOR WAS I ABUSIVE TO HER PERSONALLY,NOR WOULD I EVER DO SUCH A THING ON THE 'NET . BUT I DID KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN FROM DEALINGS THERE BEFORE WITH THE FORMER BRAINDEAD OWNER, MIKE PACKWOOD.
ACTUALLY, I LATER SENT A THANK -YOU-FOR-KICKING-ME-OFF-YOUR-SITE EMULE TO THE CURRENT OWNER, AND HE ANSWERED WITH A SHORT QUIP I LAUGHED AT FOR FIVE MINUTES. HIS NAME IS LEE SOMETHING [ I REMEMBER NOW...LEE JARRETT.. ] AND IT IS PLAIN HE IS NOT AS EGOTISTICAL AS THE FORMER OWNER AND DOES HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR.
I STILL DO NOT QUITE UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED THERE OVER THE YEARS SINCE MY PAL DON CARROLL WAS A MODERATOR THERE. AFTER HE DIED THE WHOLE BOARD WAS TAKEN OVER BY THE GUNWHORES WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SHOOTING, KNOW THE COST OF EVERYTHING, AND THE VALUE OF NOTHING.
Damnit, I was gonna do this in non-caps and forgot the whole shebang !!! Phoooeeey !!!

And probably break a few 2x4s! I notice something that I've never seen before (neophyte that I am), is that they have a dealio that show when someone clicks on a link from another forum. I notice there's 6 or 8 instances of links from Leverguns going over there to look at the thread.adirondakjack wrote:Stubborn old mules can be taught, but ya will go through a lot of carrots and may well wear out a whip in the process
you know mr Murbach... somehow this sentence shows me the reason why we are happy to have you around on this board!!!Terry Murbach wrote: ...WHO KNOW THE COST OF EVERYTHING, AND THE VALUE OF NOTHING.
This is the link. Go over there and befriend Terry.BruceB wrote:Wandered over to the S&W Forum to see what Terry had to say. After searching the members list I found "Terry Murbach, Junior Member, 0 Posts". Ironically it says on the right hand side of the profile, "Terry Murbach has not made any friends". Guess not since they banned you.
Dont look back, Terry..... Greybeards and MarlinOwners (especially the clowns at MarlinOwners) are not worth the effort....of course, I've been kicked off both numerous times (imagine thatTerry Murbach wrote:I do not know how my name is registered that way there. I have always used my given name there, WILL TERRY , but I suspect the owner put my real name in there now to keep me from re-registering under that name. Like I give a FRA huh ??!! I will say that they are not kidding about the kick-off though as I cannot even access the site to look at it. The last time I was so honored by the S&W site I could access and see everything but could not post anything, answer anything etc etc.
SO, I cannot even see what Hobie put there in my honor. Did they also remove my post that caused all the fun and games, or could you folks see how silly they reacted to a rhetorical question of curiosity ??
