Agreed: Call it the Sewer or Cesspit. As for this thread: Isn't it guilty of EXACTLY THE SAME THING as the thread it references to; being off-topic?  | |||

No, it's even worse. I don't recall a single one of these 'deleters' showing good cause on that thread that Hotcore did, in fact, back up his boasts. They're angry at not why that thread was started, but how it progressed once Hotcore refused to answer. And let's face it, it would have been all over and done with in a very short time if only he had...over and forgotten. Now their only avenue to that end is to get it deleted by management, via a public opinion poll. And, I have no doubt, arm-twisting behind the scenes by PM. If you 'deleters' think I have it all wrong, you're welcome to change my mind. | |||

This is a very progressive liberal democrat solution. It seems "unfair" to some, and offensive to a few; so we must disallow the exercise of free speech to assuage the few who oppose that exercise by others, or who are somehow offended by it. That's what the ignore button is for folks! Nowhere in the Constitution does it say you have the right not to be offended. Get on with your own life and let hotcore deal with this in his own convoluted manner. He says he's over eighteen... Rich DRSS | |||

I bow to the superior Elk hunting experience and caliber selection expertise of the midtenn expert. You obviously have more knowledge of the subject than someone from Idaho who has only harvested twenty-eight in thirty one years, and been in on the killing of a couple hundred of them. I think rather your young boyfriend has become the "pain in your ass...". You are, if you can figure it out, trying to run AR by focus group and what you think. How does this make you feel? Talk to your therapist before you start crying on the keyboard. NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ANYTHING!! All anyone here offers is entertainment. This is not an objective assessment of anything, it's all subjective. What do you think? That's an opinion. Opinions require a defense of what you state. Friggin Whiners... regards, Rich | |||

Idaho SS, if you're talking to me, unlike you, I don't think you'll find a single post by me where I presented myself as an expert. I've not killed thousands of deer nor "been in on" the killing of hundreds of elk. But one thing I do have going for me is an excellent bullshit detector. And just about every post you make sets it off. Aim for the exit hole | |||

probably need fresh batteries, that's what causes all those false readings. It's why you're in midtenn and I get to live here in Idaho. usta bee Idaho Sharpshooter, before that Idaho Sharpshooter. Maybe they're trying to tell you something. Rich DRSS | |||

This asks us if we want to go down a slippery slope and I'm surprised so many do. The Forum rules are simple and straight forward; Welcome to the AccurateReloading.com forums. They are free, all we ask in return is you obey our three suggestions. We ask you be civil to your fellow members, refrain from posting pictures not related to hunting and shooting and do not spam our board. Thanks and enjoy. Saeed and Don The thread in question has stayed within those rules albiet it went off on a tangent now and again. I, like several here, have no problem with such threads (It started out "on topic" BTW) since if I don't like or agree with them I don't read them. That is what a "free country" and individual freedom are about. If we are going to delete threads simply because we don't like them, disagree with the topic or are taking sides in an issue then what's next? Deleting threads about guns we don't like, ways of hunting we disagree with, threads from individuals we don't like, etc.? It never ceases to amaze me that those who staunchly defend the 2nd Ammendment are so quick to censure the 1st Ammendment. Let the thread stay. Larry Gibson | |||

An awful lot of you flunked that one.   | |||

Now, Idaho, wait just a damn second here. I'M from Middle Tennessee. In the future, be more specific, sir. Also, not an elk hunter. | |||

Cobra You can be critical and yet still be civil. We were but the subject of the thread most often in the past has not been. That was the and is the point of the thread. That seems to be lost on many on that thread and here also. Again, if you disagree simply don't read the thread. Larry Gibson | |||

That's a cop out, you know it, and I know it. If your kids acted like this you'd tell them to grow up. Food for thought. | |||

| One of Us |
No, it is not ...a cop out..., it is merely an opinion concerning free speech. The fact is that many have been attacked without cause by the subject under discussion and these threads reflect the quite reasonable anger directed toward him as a result. I also think if you don't like it, don't bother with it and this seems fair and realistic to me. | |||

Dewey, I most certainly do not object to free speech. My point is the fact that we have several posters who get sucked in by a guy who has nothing better to do than sow dissension. Right now, this fool is sitting back laughing it up at the chaos he's created. I participate in this forum under the impression that we have real enthusiasts here. I refuse to be brought down to this guy's level by bombarding him and his character. I look forward to good information or the exchange of ideas or hell, I don't even mind swapping lies occasionally. All I'm suggesting is let's get back to what we like, medium bore rifles and ignore this clown. He can only disrupt us if you let him. | |||

Cobra Not a cop out at all. Neither is it being hypocrtical. You step in here but don't step in with the same argument of "civility" when HC pulls his crap. Rather hypocritical in that sense isn't it. If you want to criticise that thread and those who post then you should also have criticised HC for his uncilility in other threads. You haven't, or at least not yet so we shall see where you really stand in the future, eh? Larry Gibson | |||

Larry, when I talk about civility I'm assuming that most of us are in that category and is the reason I won't engage HC for being an asshole. That's what he wants, as I said to Dewey, if we quit giving him an audience we take away his ammunition. As far as taking sides or where I stand, those are the reasons I quit the Political Forum four years ago. | |||

Cobra Sometimes some things call for drastic and perhaps uncivil action. I've no disagreement with your viewpoint. However, note that HC has been quite civil since that thread started. Perhaps it has served its purpose(?). Larry Gibson | |||

I hate "thought police" of any type. If you don't like the thread, nothing is forcing you read it. If you don't like to be bothered with reading someone's posts use "Ignore." Barstooler | |||

I simply read what is of interst and ignore the rest. Never get worked up like so many do. Appears to be a hobby for some... | |||
