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

Rude???
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.

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

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. 25 |

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

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. |

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.

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

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! Rich

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.

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 |

Frig em'. So to answer DKB2003,...It's you. George
