doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Down one

That would be one less contributing to what has become a gun site increasingly polluted with personal attacks, childishly irrelevant threads (Triceratops hunt), and unhinged conspiracy theories.
I'm preparing for another trip to Guatemala, and right now Guatemala City, along with San Salvador, Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, Honduras are the most dangerous cities in the world; worst than Mogadishu. It's still rainy season with mudslides and wash-outs of the already bad roads. The usual pre-trip spiritual warfare has been terrible, and if you don't understand don't ask. But I'm doing something I happen to believe has eternal significance. So here's my good-bye, and rant. The Forum is down one until (maybe) after the election. If someone has a specific question regarding Damascus barrels they can email me at revdoc2@cox.net or post on the LCSCA Forum (if Smith related) or Shotgun World.
I've seen a bit too much death and dying, pain and suffering, and come to this site as an escape, to relax and enjoy learning about double guns, and contribute when I can. I have a computer with which I can access the news and legislative issues of interest. I'm not a child, and don't need Jim's "educational" assistance; anymore than I need the help of our moral and intellectual superiors in Hollywood and the Huffington Post to tell me what to think. And I was raised to not inflict my un-asked-for opinions on others.
Jim lost all my respect when he sent me a PM telling me that I shouldn't quote King on my signature line...MY signature line. And by his continued use of "libtard", purposefully close to "retard"; a word those of us who know or love a special needs child or adult find extremely offensive, and yes, I told him so.
I respect Ted. He can be...uh...prickly but I usually agree with his opinions, and he has the cojones to use his real name; like Larry, who also is willing to share his knowledge and opinions despite personal attacks from anonymous posters.
Interesting how many patriots here apparently are unable to generate the courage use their names: Dave K., James M., Keith. JUST ASK DAVE TO CHANGE YOUR USER NAME. That's what I did a number of years ago. I'm thinking the signatures on the Declaration of Independence were not pseudonyms, but those of men willing to stand and die for what they believed?
It's Dave's site, and he can do whatever he wants with it.

I suddenly feel like Christian when he lost his burden after entering by the Wicket Gate Stay safe and have a wonderful bird season.

Drew, Be well on your journey.
Do your best, and be thankful for your blessings.

FWIW, I'm a big fan of being mad today, less mad, but more reasoned tomorrow, and over it, but not forgetting about it, by day 3.

Test my model, and get back to me.

Drew, you will be missed; but Godspeed.

Bob

Godspeed Dr. Drew.

Take care old friend. We will miss you in Kansas opening weekend.

If you're dumb enough to use you real full name(unless it's something like Smith) on a gun forum that anyone can read and that any criminal will know you own guns and can easily find your address so be it. You are WAY OUT OF LINE in making accusations about anyone else preference.
Another stupid thing to do is announce in advance as you just did that you're going on a trip again thereby letting anyone with criminal intent know you'll be away from home but your guns will be there.
Why don't you mount a spotlight on the roof of your house and make it easier for potential burglar's.
I've had one friend murdered for his collection and another invaded and tied up by armed robbers. Everyone including the police were surprised when he wasn't shot.
You'd better believe that lack of respect is indeed mutual.
You don't appreciate my educational assistance? Well there are others here who do.
I have let your thinly veiled attacks on me slide up till now but NOT this time. You've shown yourself to be a 1st class jerk.
And you can quit your insinuated whining about going to a dangerous area. I worked in one of the most dangerous areas for about 2 years and NEVER whined about it.
Jim

You're always appreciated Doc Drew. Take care.

Brother, have a safe journey and will be thinking of you. God Bless.

Drew; You are a stand up man. I'm sick of all the political Bologna too. I'm a right wing republican, but I have friends, and shooting friends, hunting friends that are democrats. I don't often agree with them, but I do listen to and consider their opinions. A closed minded person will never listen to the other guy......well, they are entitled to their views, just like everyone else. I agree with them sometimes, but not often. The real question......is this forum a place for political discourse/intercourse?? It likely is especially in a very volatile election time, but the personal attacks here diminish the place in a grand sort of way (and as will be pointed out, sadly I have participated, for example a pissing match with Ted....but it was awhile ago). Many people have left, Diggory Hadoke, for example, albeit quietly. I think he is just not interested in all the personal attacks and the political crap that permeates here. That is so sad, because Dig, like yourself is very learned in terms of these guns. With this in mind, I wish you God Speed in your missionary pursuit and I'm sure you will give aid to those less fortunate than ALL of us here. I hope when you return we can count on you for more of your high level of knowledge on the double gun, the intent of this forum. Best, Buzz

Dear Drew,
I like your posts and thank you for your service to others, though I know you are hoping more for "well done, my good and faithful servant" than anything I can write.
