I am going to stop looking at this board for a while, and see if it cleans itself up. It is way too annoying to have this Ed Good person polluting the whole thing...Seeya later

Come on LD, that's what he wants you to do.

Come back Chuck. I just noticed Ed has been give a two week vacation. See the sticky at the top of the thread list or thread index or whatever:

Best,

Mike

Perhaps for everyone's pleasure (except Ed) he should be given a suspended sentence.
I'll get the rope.

"Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while..."

You two are FUNNY!

I don't think Ed should've been banned...his senseless threads removed.

Yes

But he did nothing to get banned....there several queers on here that continually call me a [censored] and other nasty names and they don't get banned ?

Ed over did it and hogged all the postings with trivial b.s. and responses for attention..........that being said, there are a lot of whiners and snivlers on this board like Dave said and if you are "blunt" they take offense.......

I guess you are supposed to tell them that whatever they post looks beautiful and not tell them it belongs at the Cracker Barrel.........personally I like your style Joe, you don't beat around the bush...........

Bottom line is that's human nature.........you have "Eagles and Oysters".........always have, always will......

Best,

Doug, couldn't have said it better myself.

I still can’t understand one thing and that is; why does he touch these guns in the first place when they’re for sale? I mean the opinion on this board for as long as I have been here for the American built guns anyway is, if you are going to sell it don’t alter it from its original condition, you’ll make more money that way. If he is buying these guns strictly for resell why screw with it? All he is doing is taking money out of his own pocket and he is doing it intentionally!! Now is that the mark of stupidity in its purest form or what?

Ed's customer base is primarily "green peas" and "newbees" who are attracted to those colors.......... Same reason he puts leafs and flowers by his gun pictures......sends a subliminal message.........it must work, he keeps doing it.....?........Like Ed said on this forum "once I have the gun, it is all about money".......

Best,

Doug I agree.

Last time I noticed there are just under 400 Parkers for sale on Guns International. I can remember when my shooting student Joe Wood got me started shooting old brown side by sides that they all looked alike to me in the interenet advertisements.
A little bit of color and a little bit of selling the sizzle and you have the neophyte's attention. Fortunately I had the pickiest and most anal retentive doublegun buying coach in the United States helping me get started with my doublegun collection.

Best,

Mike

Mike, you are very fortunate to have a good friend who looked out for you during your early doublegun buying expeditions..........lot's of folks really get burned..........

Best,

I think old Ed is more of a fisherman than a gun man. Seems he is always trolling for another sucker.

Ed said it rather clearly in one of his most recent posts. He's sold a lot of guns and once he gets a hold of a gun it becomes strictly about the money. And I would suspect he knows what he's doing with regard to his customer base. The thing is....we aren't it.

Well I am lucky at that. But he is lucky because when we go hunting or to the gun shows together he has a lot better company than I do.

Best,

Mike

I would like to congratualate the 98% of posters on this forum who behave like civilized folks(of either gender)and provide either valuable information or informational comment.
I would like to meet a vast majority of the regulars to talk guns, perhaps even to enjoy an adult beverage with. If everybody had the same opinion on every subject the world would be boring, at best.
However, it seems that every forum, sooner or later, gets domiated by someone who makes everybody else feel ill. This is the case of Ed. You can elect to delete posts that he creates, but he seems to interject into other posts. Its like that fly that you cannot seem to swat away.
I commend Dave, the moderator, for allowing the free flow of comment up to a point where moderation is, indeed, necessary.

If a two week "time out" isn't sufficient, then a more permenent solution may be necessary.

Don't lump all us fishermen with old Ed. I just got back from another succesful fishing trip on the Missouri. The catfish were biting like crazy. My freezer is full of fillets.

Rumor is there's some whiners on here trying to send me on a "sabbatical"

Truth is, people mostly behave as a response to how other people treat'em. Folks have quit tormenting jOe lately and his behavior has improved quite a bit.

Poor old Ed 1 showed up on this board as a response to Ken Hurst posting about his torching all those guns he was selling. Our community began tormenting him immediately and to the point he became like some kind of rabid dog and decided to attack the forum itself. Dave couldn't put up with that and canned him for a while.

Probably he won't come back at all, but if he does he ought to be treated fairly and maybe he won't start acting crazy again. JMHO...Geo

Th whiners could've least held off till December then Lastdollar and eYe could've been sabbatical'n together

jOe have you noticed that Bilious Bob has disappeared along with ed?

I have no skin in this game, and prefer to keep it that way, but I actually find some of Ed's posts to be somewhat humorous and occasionally enlightening, fwiw. I can understand the frustration with all the multiple posts however.
