I can vouch for some dishonor on 500grains part, involving prevarications about me, though I am the same ethnicity as he.
But he is a lawyer, and I am not, so though a shark swimming in the sea might give him professional courtesy, some here do not!

One swims by the rules of "adult swim" according to DRG and Saeed here, or not at all.

Shakespeare: Henry VI, Part II, Act IV, Scene 2, Line 83:
Dick: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."

Is it time to move this thread to miscellaneous yet?

Apparently Saeed bows to DRG on some things.
My unhappiness over ObamaCare resulted in me posting this funny as my signature line,
and that resulted in DRG taking my signature line function away, for more than a year now,
but still I persevere, a point of honor or dishonor?
I do not see this as racist. Just a primitive trying to control complex issues way beyond his understanding.

How much actual DG hunting experience did he have? IIRC he went on one or two elephant hunts and shot several cow elephants and a buffalo or two.....

Jason,
So Dan was a racist but you obviously have no issue with RIP's feelings about Obama?

You then are the arbiter of what defines racism. Seems puritanical to me.

He shot seven elephant, that I know of. Curious, how many have you shot?

I see it as hypocritical as hell as a matter of fact. You brought Dans racial N***** N***** into it. RIP was the one who put the witchdoctor shite up before your post. So, you chose Dans racism over RIP's.

B.S. Steve- I was answering the question that started this thread. No one asked about RIP's photo, they did ask about the circumstances of Dan's banning. I was giving an answer to that question.



You also questioned Dans DG experience. I think Dans experience and knowledge are above reproach. You are a snit little twit that can't stand 500grains because he most likely pointed out your personal inadequacies and beat you like a drum whenever the mood dictated it.

I was not questioning that Dan had hunted multiple DG animals, I knew he had, I was questioning wheather he had more than Mike and "90% of everyone else here." It was simply a question and if his experience is "above reproach" no one should have to take exception to it.

I believe Dan an I were at odds for the first time when I called B.S. when he blamed his bullets for failing when he has so much trouble killing a cow elk with a 470.

I believe he put me on ignore when I pointed out that it was a question of shot placement rather than bullet performance. It really irked him when I pointed out that his experience disproved his theory that bigger guns cure all ills.

I have made many, many friends on AR and only a handful of enemies. MOST of my enemies are people who had issues with Dan and carry that issue to his sphere of influence.

I don't think I have any enemies here. Sorry if my issuses with Dan(issuse put to rest almost a decade ago) make you and I enimies. I have actually enjoyed reading your post since your return....

When I came back to AR as Nganga from my previous life as "Chip" I was castigated for my unending support of Drook. I, unlike you are loyal to the people I call my friends, even if that makes me unpopular. You will have 5 or less people in your life that would put their life on the line for you and you them. I choose to cherish those few, you can take the popular opinion and just go along to get along.

I'm not sure that I understand. When have I shown that I am disloyal to my friends?

I'll take a stand, you can take a crap

He did have a bunch of big bore experience, some of it even included shooting at game. I seem to remember a fiascio in which he needed about half a dozen shots from a 470 to put down a cow elk. He blamed it on the bullets not opening up. I thought that odd as many people kill really game cleanly using big bore solids....

That was Dan(500grains) for you.....

The free and open exchange of experiences and even a few threads that were just for laughs are not seen any more. Do you remember some of the crap Drook and I pulled back a few years ago? Christ, Jason I laughed so hard sometimes I cried. Remember "Alternative lifestyles in the Bush" or "Capstick was a Fraud".

Those threads were well though out and meant to be fun and entertainment, for the most part they were taken as meant. Some guys just couldn't see the humor.
