I think I got blackballed

This is off topic, but I think they blocked me after I made a comment about one of the regulars on GGVD (varmints den). I seems there is a guy there who is selling actions and parts, which I have no problem with, at higher than retail and getting results from a bunch. Man, these guys are really loyal. Oh well!

Jim, I am a GGVG regular and it would take a whole lot more than that to get you blocked. The whole site crashed overnight and is still down if you are having trouble getting in.

Mr. Kobe and others.

I think you misunderstood me, or else I wasn't clear in what I said.

Translation - Jim Kobe is a great guy from what I hear, so getting blackballed couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Meaning - It shouldn't have happened to such a nice guy.

That's how I read it...

just a little misunderstanding

Long-winded bastard that liked to ask lots of questions; sometimes just for the sake of asking them. I never was impressed with his gun talk nor the fact that he was a poor poverty lawyer that could afford to buy high dollar Mauser actions and little else.

Forgive me if I'm leaving something out here. I wasn't truly an action member during his time here.

Jim, I don't know you from Adam, but it's pretty bad form to piss and moan on a different forum without talking to Mike or John first, and finding out what is really going on. JMO, Dutch.

Chic, no, but it is bad form to piss and moan without checking the facts, first.

At this point, we don't even know if he was deleted, or, if so, why.

I've been hanging around those folks for a long time, and the owners there are probably the best I've seen in their responses to problems. JMO, Dutch.

Thanks Dutch, I often come in the middle of a conversation with the "can we start at the beginning question".

Well, I went back five days worth of chats and guess what? No post. I guess I did get blackballed. Great Scott, it can happen to anybody if you dissent.
