Not only does it tend to improve the situation, it's usually the right thing to do.

I agree completely.

Yup, metoo. Every time I call somone a monkey, it feels like a win. It's not about who moves on, but the content of character of who are here.

Yeah, because calling someone a monkey is SOO much worse than posting racist memes comparing black people to monkeys.

Monkey Jim earned his nickname, you may recall that James was adamant that comparing people to monkeys was in no way disparaging, that is until I started calling him Monkey Jim.

Character? You don't seem to know much about the subject Craig, civil discourse aside.

I'll be out there giving my best this fall though, I hope you approve. Gotta have goals, I'm hoping to find 11,780 lost roosters this fall wink

All my best,
Steve

Stanton, I read almost everything you write - because it is knowledgeable, literate, and has a down-home poetic quality to it. And you have helped me on several occasions - I'm thinking of the ramrod saga. If you like what this man posts - that is fine. But the bottom line is there are 7 locked threads below because of him.

My first experience with this stuff was in 2018 when I was shepherding through a French-English, English-French gun term dictionary; he jumped into it and began insulting people and called it OT. Things went downhill from there. His posts are still up for all to see. And even if he contributed a couple of things of interest over the years, the disgraceful way he conducts himself in public is not adult and does not add anything but vitriol. A spade has to be called a spade once patience runs out.

My last word - promise (and Stanton we can disagree on this).

Gene, I only saved the relevant part of your lengthy post to make a point.

You are totally wrong when you say Keith contributes nothing but invective. My time is too important to me to go to the trouble Keith does, to look up past posts and link to them. But, Keith often posts with nothing but helpful and accurate information about the specific double guns about which he has knowledge. To deny this is to either exhibit your tunnel vision (that's what I believe it is) or to deny truth (which I do not believe you intentionally do).

I don't agree with or support everything Keith says any more than I do anyone else here. You have made that comment about him before, AIR, but before you do so again it might behoove you to do some close reading of Keith's old posts. Just because they are not about Reillys doesn't mean that they are not useful to others.

Stan,
Well said.

Best,
Ted

Argo44, I just looked at every Post submitted in your English-French translator or dictionary. I made exactly two Posts in that entire thread, and neither one called it OT. I did mention some off-topic Thread diversions made by others, and the fact that some of our Thread Police didn't comment. And later, I also tried to add something positive with this Post:

It also appears that the word bullet is derived from the French word boulette which roughly means small ball.

So it looks like you are lying again.

Now, please give us the titles of each of the 7 Threads you feel are locked because of me. Then tell us exactly how you can say I was responsible for each or any of them getting locked. Are you trying to tell us the mere fact that I made a Post in a Thread that was subsequently locked is proof that I was responsible... especially when I was not the last to Post, and Dave has me subject to Moderation. That means he could have simply discarded or rejected any offensive Post I made, and kept the Thread alive.

I've made numerous Posts in this Thread. I have not said any kind things to my dishonest detractors, yet Dave hasn't locked this yet. Explain that. I do expect he will lock this, but am hopeful he reads it and pays attention to the utter bullshit you and your pals have Posted. I don't care if he has second thoughts about me, but I'm hopeful he sees your lies, and remembers this shit-show the next time a campaign to ban me or someone else is launched.

Still waiting for that list of the dozens of people you claim I drove away, and your proof of that too. Are there just too many for you and Joff and LGF to count? Still waiting for you you show I invaded and ruined every Thread 8 years ago, and nearly destroyed this forum. Still waiting for you to Post proof of a single threat I made here.

Stan gave you the benefit of doubt that you would intentionally Post something you know isn't true just to disparage someone you dislike. Sorry to disagree, but Stan was being far too kind. I need only to point to the way you tarred Ed as a cheat when you bought a gun from him that turned out to have thin barrels... according to you. We don't know if that is true at all at this point. You acted like he knowingly sold you a dangerous gun, and intentionally hid the alleged defect. You neglected to mention that Ed had no wall thickness measuring tools, you bought it without asking, and Ed offered to refund your money. You kept the gun and gave it to your daughter-in-law. Are you the kind of person who would give your daughter-in-law a dangerous gun? Why didn't you tell us Ed had offered you a refund?

I've mentioned this to you a few times, but you keep repeating it because you really enjoy dishonestly piling on Ed. You loved hurling insults at jOe too, lots of them, and mocked the intelligence of the entire state of Tennessee just to personally attack him. You cried like a baby when LeFusil and I questioned conjecture presented as facts in your Reilly Thread. And you have accused others of ruining this DoubleGun forum with off-topic Threads you do not approve of, while posting literally dozens yourself.

And if History is any indicator, you will run away from this, and return later with more lies. You are a sick man. I gave you some leeway because I didn't know what sort of PTSD you might be suffering... but you have gone too far.

Gene, this will be my last word on it to you as well. I respect you and your service to our nation more than you know, but we don't have to agree on everything for that to be.

But . . . . . you have attempted to shift the statement I made from my belief that Keith posts some very useful double gun info, in opposition to your statement that he did not, to a statement that I must like everything the man posts. It's so easy to spin a statement like your first one into one like the second that it can almost be missed. But, I didn't miss it.

Tunnel vision is a trap, Gene. By that I mean, it's easy to let a dislike for some one, or some thing, cause you to make blanket statements about them. IMO, that's what you have done concerning Keith. To utilize an old saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater."


May God bless America and those who defend her.

I still don't have the guts to man up and write a $1,000 check to put my money where my mouth is, because I am coward at my core, and only feel secure sitting behind a the anonymity of a keyboard and would never say any ot the things I post here to anyone in person.

We understand. We don't particularly care, but we understand.

Keep on showing us who you are.

I'm entertained by all of the, long, boring posts, self involved rants and keyboard bashing gibberish that our friend "keith" has made. They are exactly - exactly - the same kinds of posts a guy named Larry used to make to defend the exact same kind of behavior.

He probably thinks they defend his position, when they do exactly the opposite.

He's probably also confused and angry that no one has come to his defense...when what he should be doing is noting that, and understanding what that means. He won't, because he lacks the basic emotional maturity and intellectual honesty to do so. No surprise there.

...and he still won't step up, man up, and back up his own words without trying to control the situation with absurdly childish demands about things that have nothing at all to do with what was posted here.

He's showing everyone what and who he is. Most know this...why they've tolerated it without pushing back for so long, I don't know, but it is what it is and there's nothing to be done about it.
