dkb2003 · July 23, 2006, 09:51 PM

Why is that if the text of your message isnt right or you DONT USE THE RIGHT CAPS they like to comment on it...or you leave a thread that they DONT LIKE...they have to be rude,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,like the comas,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ok then....back to what i was saying...if it wasnt for us they wouldnt even be here ...but yet most of the senior members are rude and have no patience for new members...this baffles me...i guess i will move on to another forum....gl rude boys.....

RJay · July 23, 2006, 10:24 PM

Don't let it bug you, we're just as rude and short tempered on the E- Gunparts forum.

skeeter1 · July 23, 2006, 10:28 PM

Quite frankly, I've found the editors and moderators (and most members) here to be quite polite and helpful. I don't know who burned you, but maybe you should take a look in the mirror.

BillCA · July 23, 2006, 10:30 PM

And here I thought it was because some of us actually paid attention in English class.

Double Naught Spy · July 23, 2006, 10:36 PM

It's you.

blume357 · July 24, 2006, 07:17 AM

Think about it.

model 25 · July 24, 2006, 07:43 AM

Or do like I have done and go someplace else. There is alot of freedom elsewhere. Freedom of thought and exspression is important to me and it bothers me when the sites use NAZI tactics when they don't like what is being said whether true or not. If the Nazi had a delete button they wouldn't of had to burn books.

Yep I come back just for a bit to see if the site has changed any but as the thread shows I need to leave again. Now make sure you delete this thought before someone reads it.

Alot of the members and mods here are older guys. From a generation that called a spade a spade without all the flowery PC crap that is so in vogue today instead.

Some of the people I have the most respect for on this forum are the ones that have been "rude" to me

Wildalaska · July 24, 2006, 12:51 PM

I like to be abused.

oldbillthundercheif · July 24, 2006, 02:00 PM

Ha!

Moderators, please add a post like the one above to show everyone you are not humorless geeks.

Sure, sometimes people are rude on this forum. That's the beauty of the whole thing... You can say what's on your mind.

Heck I am a younger guy (27) and if your a friggin idiot I will let you know in plain english to bugger off.

As far as the mods' being abusive they are not. I have on occasion stepped out of line or joined the bandwagon on a flame session (.22 for elephants post by a guy new to guns) and they have been quick to put me and theothers in our place and give us a scolding like our parents did (or should have done).

Too bad that you had what you felt was an unfair expereice with the moderators. Life is not always fair and if you think everyone is against you maybe you should rethink the way you act/think/are .

Hope you have a better time in another forum if this one is too abusive for you. Happy trails and happy hunting.

TheBluesMan · July 24, 2006, 02:43 PM

Hey oldbillthundercheif! How long have you been a member here? - Not counting tomorrow! HA!

Just kidding. Maybe.

Rich,
Thanks for sharing that with us but I don't think I will ever be able to eat at bashing robens again.

jhgreasemonkey · July 24, 2006, 06:42 PM

Rich you wear pantees??? Dude! Those are for ladies!
See he's got a sense of humor! You stinkin Poop faces!
Dont take it bad my friend. Keep in mind you cant see the facial expressions of the people who are talking to you. So it might sound worse than intended. Now if only I would go by this. You stinkin Poop faces!

**tyme** · July 24, 2006, 07:21 PM

Panty raid!

Heist · July 24, 2006, 07:43 PM

Rich = JeffK?!

**Rich Lucibella** · July 24, 2006, 07:50 PM

OK-
That's enough. I only wear panties rarely....always on my head. But, even then, only when I'm known by my pen name, Bunny.

There, I've said it and I'm glad!

TFL raised the bar for all Internet Forums; TFL continues to raise the bar.

If one does not wish to assist in keeping the bar raised, or continue to raise the bar then 1) leave, 2) stick around and learn.

As shared above , we have Rules of Conduct , we also have Etiquette. Proper Etiquette is to PM Staff with questions. If a particular Staff member needs to be addressed, do so via PM.

Many of us know from experience, by visiting with Rich or any Staff here on TFL, about anything, these folks actually do listen and pay attention.

This medium is difficult enough, even with smile faces, to communicate.

---That said---

Rich...Rich...Rich, what are we going to do with you?

I know - Paging LawDog....page for Mr. Dawg...

Mr. Dawg,

I have an idea for a sequel to http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/2...kit.html#links

"Luci's tactical Panty raid".

Regards,

Steve

I want it documented here and now, if the sales of panties increase for tactical reasons, it started here on TFL and Dawg promoted it. Oh, I want a cut of the sales too.

spacemanspiff · July 24, 2006, 09:10 PM

pheewwww!!

I thought I'd take my secrets of the Tactical Black Panties to the grave with me!
Hey, who let Arts Grammaw in here? Why does she have a bar of soap? Uh oh...

GET AWAY!!!

TexasSIGMan · July 24, 2006, 11:27 PM

dkb2003, you think that's rude?

Man just the other day some guy posted a topic and would you believe the whole thing was in capital letters? On top of that the guy didn't use complete sentences, and the whole mess was strung together with ....... between his thoughts. It made my head hurt trying to decipher what he was talking about.

At least THAT guy isn't complaining. Oh, wait.

Nevermind

Doubletaptap · July 24, 2006, 11:37 PM

Haw!! Haw!!! Haww!!!! Rich!!!!! You ought ta get a emmy fer that one!!!!!!!
Panties on the head huh? Hmmmmmmmmmmm..............

Hey if they don't like it here, they probably didn't have nothing worth contributing anyhoo!!!!!
I'd much rather be here learning, than on some forum where everybody is cussing and spending most of the time trying to come up with a new insult for some poor unsuspecting person who asked a simple question.
Frig em'.
So to answer DKB2003,...It's you.
George

**Mike Irwin** · July 25, 2006, 12:39 AM
