Mr. idaho, you continue to make my point with your responses, you are no different than the individual you claim to despise (VG). I am not so pathetic that I will read all of your posts, but even though you do not use swear words, your actions (responses to someone that does not agree with you) show you are no better than him. Go ahead, respond again making fun of my little saying or the Oakland Raiders. I have a lot of respect for the Coach(es) and players of the Boise State Football team. What an excellent example of preparedness, execution, and guts. Even though BS was not the caliber of OU, they were victorious. An inspiration to underdogs all over the world! You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose.....but you can't pick your friends nose! | |||

I've been browsing on AR for quite some time, despite registering only recently. I personally find it odd that some "14 year old" was able to single out this VarmintGuy so quickly, and actually get him banned within just a couple of posts.  He must be an exceptionally observant and astute "kid"... | |||

Bobby, I have no trouble comprehending the original post, and I will overlook your poorly veiled snipe at me. The point is that I find it odd that some kid would start his first post here on AR, as a new member, with such a topic. No matter how long he has "been around". I too have "been around" for some time, and have previously noticed several posters that I personally think are less than pleasant. However, I feel it would be a bit strange if that was the first thing I started posting about on a forum where nobody knows me since I just registered! After all, they have no idea how long I've "been around"! | |||

Rich. No disrespect, but frankly any self professed "lurker" is a TROLL. Profanity and arguments are commonplace in ALL forums to a certain extent. That is what makes them fun! If you don't have the balls to deal with it, then go away for chrissakes. Actually having children on forums is annoying. Frankly I believe we ought to have a child section so that children can talk about GI joes and water pistols, without getting offended by "grown up talk." But thanks for pointing out the ignore feature, I know I'll ignore DTH247- the little prick!! P.S. I think if he doesn't have the maturity to deal with a little language, he shouldn't be playing with gunpowder- that is for grownups. Perhaps singing in a musical or fashion design may be more to his liking. There are two types of people in the world: those that get things done and those who make excuses. There are no others. | |||

FYI, "lurker" is just internet jargon for someone that reads a lot and posts very little. It does NOT equate to a TROLL. They are vastly different. FWIW, Canuck | |||

If that is what is fun to you, maybe you should be the one looking for a new playground. Perhaps you failed to notice, but you don't own this site or pay the bills, so its really not your choice what should be acceptable here or what people should do if they don't like it. And I submit that you are in the minority on this topic. In my experience, most people here do not want to endure foul language and venomous attacks. And I agree wholeheartedly with Rich in this case...there is no need for "grown up talk" to be profane. In fact, I beleive that what you are calling "grown up talk" is anything but. Lively debate, argumements, disagreement, etc...all can be done without profanity. Canuck | |||

You are funny, Mr. Idaho. you claim "I do not consider anyone talking to me in a derogatory manner to just be a harmless buffoon expressing himself as best he can with a limited intellect and or vocabulary," yet that is exactly what you are doing when you make fun my little signature and the battery throwing thing. You are hilarious! You continue to make my point by the manner in which you reply to my posts! Raider Lover gave me a try, and he is now unhappy that I brought up batteries and his other self-proclaimed failings. Now he is mad...but he'll get over it. I am not mad, I laugh at your feeble attempt to get my goat...you do such a good job of acting like a little kid...you are obviuosly obsessed with getting the last word, claim to be Christian but do not act very Christian towards me....beleive me, I do not mind. I stand by my original post that the 14 year old boy that started this post should have taken his own advice and used the ignore button. The control of this forum belongs to the administrator. That is my opinion, I feel it was stated in a manner that was in good taste and used no vulgar language, yet you want to belittle me for stating my opinion. It sounds like your family has been brave and honorable in the fact that they fought for our wonderful country to allow the rest of us the freedoms we all enjoy, including the right to express our opinion. BUT, it appears that anyone who does not hold the same opinion as you is to be denigrated (look it up). Yes, sir, you are a hypocrite. Like it or not, you are. make fun of me "eating boogars (I don't, never have, but hey, if it makes you happy, say it) and make fun of the Raiders. they are an easy target, I know. I am not upset at the least that you think you are smarter than I, because your feeble attempts to attack me are nothing more than the common response a child bully may make in a school yard. I]I anxiously await your juvenile response.....[/I] You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose.....but you can't pick your friends nose! | |||

I don't know if the "kid" is actually a kid or not, or another persona/reincarnation of someone else, but anyone that thinks that this "kid" got VG banned is sadly mistaken. This issue has simmered for a LONG time. The "kid" just put a spotlight on it. VG got himself banned...there is no other way about it. Canuck | |||

Whatever. Are you into fashion design as well? Actually on a serious note, perhaps this thread ought to be deleted as some (of the more respected and well known) posters whom I've spoken to are getting tired of "all the bullshit" going on in AR- that does not come from me.

FMC and Idaho Sharpshooter, You are missing the point and profoundly embarrassing yourselves. What you are being told is that if you cannot be civil, then shut up. If you cannot shut up, then you will be shut up. That's pretty clearly the message of at least some of the recent bannings, and pretty well what the rules should be for everyone everywhere all the time. Why should anyone hosting anyone else brook the behavior of boors and swine? People seem to think that the Internet is some kind of alternate universe. It isn't, except that anonymity can make some think that there are no restraints, and worse, that they need not exercise self-restraint. That is only true to the extent that those who furnish the medium permit it. In the face-to-face world, it's different. In the face-to-face world, the only substitute for good manners is fast reflexes. The prospect of a punch in the face makes for neighborly discourse. Like mothers tell their children, and rightly, the message to the membership of the VG banning is that you had best behave. And what's wrong with that? You can say "Amen" now.

I agreed with the part about killing this thread, or at least moving it to the Political Forum. You must have missed the other thoughts I have posted here on the subject. Rich DRSS | |||

Gents, I would like to make an observation if I may. Young master dreamstohunt247 has made just one post, I think I am right in saying. He is at present, I believe, making his way back home from Texas where he has been hunting with his family. Now, I am hoping that when he gets home he will read all the forum space, time and effort that has resulted from his one post, and respond. It is fantastic if you think about it, we have a fourteen year old boy who makes one post, as a result of this post he gets barred from the site. Then Saeed spots his mistake and reinstates the boy and gets rid of VG. What then follows is almost unbelievable, we have supporters of VG, supporters of the boy, doubters as to whether it is a boy or not, all these things are to be expected, and you have not disappointed. What is disappointing is the fact that, although there is almost universal agreement that VG was way too "vigorous" in his verbal conflicts and his colourful language, others have been just as guilty. The language may not be colourful or profane but, there is no mistaking the hostiliy in some of the well couched comments on here. C'mon people there is no need for this. I am waiting for the young man who started this mess to get back on line and try and answer some of the questions that have been fired at bobby tomek. I am sick of seeing this thread at the top of the small calibre forum. I now sit back and await attack. John | |||

dreamstohunt247. Your only 14 and already standing up for what you think is right, good for you, your folks should be proud. Jousting with windmills seems right when we're young and idealistic but as we get older I fear we get smacked around a bit then give advice like "I know it's wrong but just ignore it and don't respond". "I don't like it either but I just look away". Kinda sad actually. Good examples come in all ages. "If a man buys a rifle at a gun show and his wife doesn't know it"...Did he really buy a rifle?

mrlexma, can't easily be done. The last time I was seriously embarrassed was on an R&R in Tokyo in early 1971...came out of a bathhouse (men's side I thought) with a towel draped over one shoulder and found it was coed...immediately produced a novel way to carry a bath towel. I was 21 and...oh, never mind. Rich DRSS | |||

Rich, Thanks for a truly excellent post. I have no doubt that it would be a pleasure to sit down and have a chat with you. I'm not a sports fan at all, but I do live across the bay from Oakland, and I will say that in general, my observations have been that Raider fans are the dumbest, most uncivil creatures I've ever seen, and the I.Q. of the gene pool would increase markedly with their absence. I can't speak for all of them, and perhaps it's just those that sport Raider stickers on their cars and trucks, but your observations are spot on. All the best, Thrilled | |||

I was riding RL a bit hard that day, their fans are a bit, shall we say E-X-T-R-E-M-E in their devotion to the team. I thank you for the compliment. Rich DRSS | |||

key word in that sentence is ALMOST. He posted comments that would have gotten him killed in a lot of face to face discussions. Had a guy talk to me like that once at the Caldwell Night Rodeo...it's been twenty-plus years ago, and I'll bet you a lot of money that he remembers that conversation and ensuing close order drill I put him thru every time he shaves. The problem is that everybody thinks they are a cross of Muhammed Ali and Arnold Schwartzenegger on the internet where they have no consequences for their mouth. Banning is the only way to (regrettably) to get the message across that simply is not so. Rich DRSS | |||

It has been 20 some days since we last heard from dreamstohunt247, and I'm inclined to think V.G. nailed it from the get-go. With that said, will someone please drive a wooden stake through this thread's heart, shoot it with a silver bullet, and dispose of it properly... | |||
