Mark;

What gives?

You didn't eschew facts when you first came here as "Swampman1". You didn't obfuscate the truth then, just to aggravate. You had some interesting notions, and your own ideas, but never to the exclusion of anyone else's nor the possibility that you could learn.

Hell, you posted some rather interesting stuff regarding "tramping around" gear; a certain pack/rifle/knife/axe kit, and a fire steel kit, spring immediately to mind. What happened to that being lost?

You don't do that as "Swampman" on Graybeards.

You certainly don't do that on sites where you have to use your name, like "authentic campaigner".

I doubt seriously as to where you do that at the Florida Reenactors events.

So, why be a complete azzhole here?

What gives?

This is a public/free website. I also believe in free speech.

I also understand people might have a different opinion than me.

But every now and then Rick Bin needs to sweep this place out.

VA, I think you said, Website hits trumps all.

Go figure, stupidity and immaturity equals money

I see no reason why I can't act just like everyone else. Ask yourself the same question you're asking me.

Mark;

You want my name? Hell, likely a couple hundred folks here (minimum) know it. PM me, I'll give it to you.

I post under one screen name; you don't. Why?

If I'm wrong, I admit it; you don't.

If someone asks me for proof, and I can provide it, I do; you don't.

I don't make claims that aren't true; you do (8-year-old buck, classic example).

And, you certainly only act like this here; thus the reason for the question(s).

You want my name? Hell, likely a couple hundred folks here (minimum) know it. PM me, I'll give it to you.

Why would I?

I post under one screen name; you don't. Why?

Why not?

If I'm wrong, I admit it;....

As do I

If someone asks me for proof, and I can provide it, I do;

And so do I

I don't make claims that aren't true;(8-year-old buck, classic example).

Neither do I

And, you certainly only act like this here; thus the reason for the question(s).

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.....

I believe there is a policy here of just one handle per customer. Rick?

There are all kinds of policies. Everyone ignores them, thus the point of all my post.

Fine, Mark, have it your way.

You're running logic along the lines of "I think he is a jackass, so I'm going to be a jackass, too".

Flawed logic, and you're refusing to even consider the fact that you may, in fact, be wrong in your actions or assumptions on several levels.

Your play, and at least now it's on the table as to exactly what you're doing and why.

Damned shame, too. You WERE worth a schit, back when you first came here.

Let me see if I got this "all of your ignorant crap is a protest of this site?" Is this correct? miles

Waist of time Sean......

Lee24 had more interesting lies, the Swampmen are trolls without much imagination.

folks like swampman I peg fairly early on. They go on ignore at that point, and like a swatted fly, they don't bother me any more.

Frankly, I just don't give a rat's azz what reason folks have for their silliness.

One more lie.. (see the other thread..)


Good points... Think I'll join ya on this one..

Many of my post are an attempt to get rude people (like yourself)to stop being rude esp. to newbies. It all started over a dare from another 24 Hour Campfire member.

Was that when you were in fourth grade of fifth?

Why does someone always have to call out someone....bored?

Can't we have intelligent discussions and argue/fight there?

When I first joined this site it was full of civil discussions where we could at least agree to disagree.

Now it's like congress...either you are us or them mentallity.

I like independents. I see good on both sides and bad on both sides. Unfourtyantely there is no compromise any more.

who could ever forget the time he carried his hypothermic friend ten miles down off the mountain in a whiteout blizzard until they could find a place to snuggle and warm up......no, sir.....they don't make trolls like that every day.

When I first joined this site it was full of civil discussions where we could at least agree to disagree
===========

Laffin'...that's only because you joined after the 2008 election fights which began in 07 and everyone was too exhausted to go at it for a while.

Things have been heated in the 24 kitchen since I joined and I wouldn't wish it any other way. It hones skills and toughens character.

Well thats lawyers. You ever win the argument with that idiot in the mirror?

For reals player? lol

=========================

See,you even get to quote others from yesterday or the day before and act as though it was your own thought.

I have used that for YEARS my friend. If it was on here recently I missed it.

Since you have all the answers will you be running for Prez?

"Things have been heated in the 24 kitchen since I joined".

Yep ; that's how I remember it ,too.

So, you are intentionally trolling BS responses and posts, under at least two log-in names, as a result of a dare from another member (who may, or may not, still be here) because you/he thinks that people are rude to new members?

Instead of actually making a comment about someone or several being rude, you've taken THAT tactic of trolling and simply chalk it up to "hey, I don't think anyone else respects this site or it's rules, so I won't either"?

And, you honestly think that was a good approach?

Your a tit

Change "Mark" to "Big Stick", and you could say the exact same thing.

Yet you constantly defend him.

So, as you say... "What gives"?

What's good for one isn't good for the other?

Excellent point, and exactly so.

I think you'll find I haven't defended Larry for quite a while.

I would. It's unlike any campfire that I've ever been around. There's too much name callin' and bullsh!t that happens here that wouldn't happen around a campfire. That said, there's still a lot of good stuff here...enough to make most people stay despite the negative things mentioned above. And the notion that fighting over the internet with other fellas that also like to hunt n' shoot, like guns n' knives, camping, hiking, fishing, reloading, etc. "hones skills and toughens character" is kinda funny...and weak, but mostly funny.

If how thing "used to be" here, or how they are on other websites, is to be a metric than may I point out that calling other members out by name was/is forbidden? Something of which you are MOST fond.

Anyway, with Swampy ad far as I can tell from afar, it's a very concious "when in Rome..." thing, combined with an attempt to be a lightning rod and- let's just be honest here- the guy can FISH!

And, in fact, it does appear to be at least somewhat serving it's stated purpose (lightning rod). He does keep those busy, who seem to think that jumping people's chit is their entitlement around here.

Such as yourself, Sean.

It's not an entirely unreasonable response to the dynamic at this website, though it makes me sad (sniff, boo hoo) that people can't collectively do a little better than we all do. Oh well. It was a doomed idea to begin with, that people could converse reasonably politely... though we did generally pull it off in the early days of Ye Olde Internet.

It's only gonna get worse, Sean, and you'll be there leading the way if past behavior is a predictor and all that.

oh, hell.....now we're getting to the point where Jeff wants a big old blue taped group hug and then Sean disses him. I can't watch.

Jeff;

I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire, and your history shows EXACTLY why.

Still, at least you have enough respect for here not to pull the schit that Mark is pulling.

About the only things worse are dragging a person's wife/kids/family into it (VarmintGay manages that frequently), utter vulgarity (Maser... who is THANKFULLY finally gone), racism (gone... mostly), and pornography (mostly gone).

You have a problem with what I say or how I say it, then say so directly.

Passive aggressive, and whatever-the-hell Mark is pulling is just chickenshit.

This is like a bunch of school kids. Each with there own click.

I kind of like the idea of a campfire.

This isn't it.

Every campfire I've been around, if you did something to just start [bleep] you'd get backhanded off the log you were sitting on. And you best be careful about how quick you get back up.

This idea of trolling is a bunch of internet bullcrap inspired by the anonymity and immunity from back-hands granted by the medium.

You sound like a bitter little guy. Do you actually have any friends besides the imaginary ones?

Yes, Iwas just making fun of internet fighting.

And you?

I kinda miss the porn.

Just a good looking Texan from here on the Fire

Lynn

I would. It's unlike any campfire that I've ever been around.
================

Were you actually thinking you were sitting at a log fire with 30000 plus all like minded hunting buddies when you turned on your computer?

JeffObama;

If you're going to comment, send me a PM.

Or the up and down the Grand Canyon in July without water... it was precious

Who in hell gave VA permission to be the internet police on this web-site. I really enjoyed this site when both these jerks took a vacation from a while back. Looks like its time for another Time-Out. I noticed isaac has started to act like them, he used to be a pretty guy. Flame on you dumb azzes.

Not as good as using two different '06 loads...one a "stopping" round.

Count me in as missing the porn too.....but I do like the company we have gained without it (grins).

=================

Sorry Dick. I'm still pretty!

I had to read that twice before I got it... Thank you Lynn...

I think you know what I meant.

The people that I've shared campfires with were only like minded in the sense that we all liked to hunt n' shoot, liked guns n' knives, camping, hiking, fishing, reloading, etc. We all differed on politics, religion, and other small stuff. And none of it mattered enough to fight and call names and carry on like some of the bullsh!t that sometimes goes on here. Just sayin'...

You can leave anytime you want too.

Were sick of trolls..........period!

Time for him to leave!!

TICK TOCK TICK TOCK........

You're simply a cursor away from handling that concern of yours.

One can only wonder what he was thinking when he posted that gem.

panhandle;

Ain't but one Sheriff here and I ain't it.

I was asking Mark wtf happened, and why the Hell he was/is doing what he's doing.

Rick can boot him, me, you, any of us or none of us any time he chooses to.

As for Bob being "pretty", be careful... He likes to switch-hit, and loves sheep-herders from the mountains...

Glad a few can actually see what's going on. The dare was public, and he's still here.

sorry to bust your bubble, Bart, but she was talking about me

So, now just asking a question, trying to figure out what you are saying, is considered rude. What a joke. You now go on ignore in both of your handles. Only other person I have on ignore has a 700 in his handle too. Mudder700. miles

Did this Swampman guy,whoever the Hell he is, think we were too rough on jasonb when he first infected?

Someone appears to need some Midol.....

You lost me on that one!

Mark;

Post/quote up the dare, if you would.

It will be like the Mark X 270 classified for $200, non existent..............

Grow up and quit acting like a poor hard done by little tit.

Long time member or Newb, makes no difference. Post incredulous content or commentary, and/or engage in troll like behavior.... be prepared to be called on it.

And that means using all kinds of nasty vulgar words? And treating folks you know nothing about like $hit?

Rick asked me to end my crusade so I will.

Wasn't referring to you sorry. Quick reply used. Meant for Swampy.

IT'S THE INTERNET

Rick asked me to end my crusade so I will.
===============

Are you sure he didn't say charade?

Let's see who Sean is obsessing over/investigating now.........

Now if we can just convince Sean it's "the internet".........

And Swampy's fair Dulcinea would be the Remington 700, warts and all.

If that's how they choose to interact, it's their choice. You have a choice as well.... we all do.

You have NO control over them. Do you honestly think you're going to change someone on the Internet??

If you take exception to an individuals content or manner in which he/she interacts online.... you have a choice. Place them on ignore if it upsets you so greatly.

OK, normally I wouldn't publicly refer to something I did in private, but since it's been put out there, I just want to say:

If I ask a guy to stand down, and he straight up and unequivocally agrees, then I'd also ask the rest that he be given the room to stand down.

There's no point in characterizing something as a problem and then not facilitating the solution. Call me naive.

Room to stand down, please.

Rick;

Thanks, and no problem here.

Mark;

You can always make a comment TO me; and expect one from me. One inbound soon, in fact.

Casey;

Fuggin' please...

She didn't say old Texan,counsellor...

Does this mean we get porn back?

PM Les... He'll hook you up...

Dat ain't porn...its a side show.

Tits have a good use.

Okay, enough of the bickering, everyone go to your rooms.

Ah, never mind it would be too boring around here then

Carry on!

This is how you quit???

He ain't gonna quit. Trolls can't change their warts.
