Go ahead and post them Drew since I know the primary point I made to you in emails was get off my case.

As an aside: I never had a problem that I knew of with Drew Hause until he instigated it by attacking my posts.

this forum will be a lesser place without the input of dr. drew...have a safe journey...do some good...and return to us with renewed spirit...

I don't see any problem with attacking someone else's posts if it's a matter of opinion. Or of debating matters of fact.

Politics . . . I have to agree with Wonko. I participate in other forums where it's allowed, with either no holds barred or very few. And also on Upland Journal, where Brad does not allow it. But I expect, when push comes to shove, we're all on some variation of the same side where guns are concerned. We are, however, too small a constituency to reject the "big tent" philosophy. When you're outnumbered, not a good idea to do the opposition's work and further divide ourselves so we can be more easily conquered.

I have NO problem with attacking others posts either but it's different matter to attack another individual. That was the primary reason I bailed out of misfires before it was closed.
I only retaliated here after I was personally attacked and then I only did it after I "overlooked" previous snide remarks by this individual and had asked him in emails to knock it off.

Would you say that if all legal firearm owners and users were to unite under Hillary's big tent through the voting booth, that all gun control concerns would go away? If not, would you have a thought or two on how the big tent strategy works?

Si, vaya con Dios, Sr. Medico. El Zorro

It's not possible for persons not being conflicted within a party. The big tent philosophy accommodates different views. Gun control concerns can't disappear in any system with any party. As Larry said, we're all on some variation of the same side where guns are concerned. When outgunned there's no improvement by separating our numbers into castes, shooting our kneecaps.

Drew, thanks for the Bible lesson. But it doesn't change the fact that you initiated this thread and personally attacked Jim, Dave K., and myself.

You seem to have missed my point entirely, even though I took the time to put your new tag line at the very start of my post, and even put it in bold type. Here it is again:

"Personal attacks only reflect the inadequacy of the argument, and the character of the attacker."

I don't get it. Are you saying that it was OK for you to personally attack me and Dave K. simply because we don't use our full names here? Or are you saying that it is OK to personally attack Jim just because you actually do know his last name, and even have hunted with him? The evidence would suggest that the knowledge of Jim's last name and the absence of knowledge of my last name made absolutely no difference to you when you singled us out for your personal attack. Incidentally, this thread was entirely off topic, having nothing to do with coming here as an escape from the madness of life to simply discuss doubleguns.

Of course I don't know the content of personal e-mails or messages between you and Jim or Francis (RWTF). But from the tone and tenor of Jim's reply within this thread, it sure doesn't sound as if he feels your prior personal contacts justify your personal attack on him. I don't think so either.

I can handle your personal attack, and I'm sure Jim can too. We've both taken far worse in stride. I just find it both amusing and hypocritical when you yourself have done exactly what your tag line is so critical of.

It is similarly amusing to see Dr. Wonko's comments suggesting a prohibition on political discussion when he posted this on the same day in another thread:



His comments on the NRA promoting "the nutcase-with-a-gun image in so effective a way that I have to wonder who they really represent." was interesting too. Perhaps he can show us where they do such a thing. But I doubt it. We call them FUDDS's and Libtards because we are polite.

His comments also demonstrate the fallacy of Larry Brown's big tent. But Larry has to somehow justify his own support for the extreme anti-2nd Amendment candidate Hillary Clinton. In the "Down to One" thread this morning Larry said, "I don't know any liberal gun owners that are anti-2nd amendment." Larry Clown claims to IGNORE my posts. He obviously is IGNORING those made by his older brother King as well:









Larry says he was a former CIA Intelligence Analyst. Given what he shows us here, it's a wonder that Putin isn't living in the White House.

A sure way to shoot yourself in the kneecaps is to permit Trojan Horse anti-gun trolls like King into your tent to undermine your rights.

Wow! Godspeed Drew. Do good work and be safe.

Drew identified a fringe and registered his disappointment that a few members can't engage without nastiness in nearly every post. Almost unanimously, the forum recognized Drew for who he is and wish him well in his missionary work. Drew's departure---with a consensus anticipating his return---established once and for all a tiny fringe speaks only for itself. A community of interest prevails.
