Without exception, the guys who are continuously rude and purposely spoil threads with BS comments are underachievers who are jealous of high achievers. I usually ignore such people, though I ocassionally I rip them new azzholes (both online AND in person), the decision as to when I rip somone is entirely arbitrary. It's just something you have to do periodically to get jealous underachievers to shut up. They are like the Muslim extremists in that they only understand and respect strength. If you are nice to them or tolerate them, they see it as a sign of weakness. Having said that, most of these guys here are really meaning to be humorous, and chances are if they were in person the comments wouldn't seem rude, they'd seem funny. Otherwise they'd get their azz kicked.........  Is retiring as Major after 20+ years being an high achiever? I call Bravo Sierra Blane and I would have no problem saying that to your face...

Beats hell out of getting RIFF'd before retirement time! Not everybody gets the Bird or Star, some folks actually have to get the job done!

I know a guy who was RIFF'd, and to this day (10 years later), that is the first thing everyone tells everyone else about him. Be it in church, in a restaurant, at a wedding reception, everywhere. Talk about having your career achievements haunt you  Lynn

As Issac said, Reduction in force discharges. Kinda like getting layed off after ALMOST making it to company retirement and getting screwed out of your pension. That is what happens to the ones that don't produce/perform good enough.

Patrick James, the common denominator of those "ruined" threads is a guy variously known as Big Stick/Try Me/PaleWhiteCracker... He's most likely just here to raise hell until he gets booted for the third time (!). Hopefully, he'll tone it down a bit and stay a while. He's a real asset, when he's not being a real ass.  NOW watch the flaming begin.

First off all I know I'm going to get flamed but after less than a 100 post in 5 years I have very little to lose.Out of all the gun/hunting forums on the net the 24 hour campfire IMO has the most knowledgeable members also the rudest.I don't know much about hunting and guns and I will be the first to admit it. Many times I have want to say something and thought about it a long time and decided not to because I didn't want to read a 1 or 2 word smart ass answer just to drive up somebody post count.Then there will be somebody who spent a lot of time and money haveing a custom rifle built and post a pictue of ther pride and joy just to get reamed because the twist of the rifling is wrong or scopes to big or small.Some times it gets real personal. It seems 2 or 3 set the tone for this forum.I know real world people don't talk to each other like this.I guess it's like road rage behind a computor screen.I know owning a large auto repair shop that most people will say things to you on the phone that they would never say to your face.just to beat somebody to it I'm not a liberal,I don't spell well,I say stupid stuff although I try not to and I ask stupid question some times.There I beat you to the punch.I realize this will probably be my last post.Flame on.
3 Sometimes it's pinhead time. Kinda of like troll time, except with pointed heads. Stick around so much more good than bad.

This place has toned down a lot since I�ve been here. I have received a lot more than I have contributed. If you are secure about who you are as a person, you really won�t lose much sleep over what other people say. I freely talk about things within my comfort zone, and freely admit my lack of knowledge about other areas. If I operate within those parameters, the advice is extremely beneficial.
I have participated on more heavily moderated forums. I much prefer the freewheeling style here, where the forum pretty much moderates itself. After all, as Bristoe said, �It's just da innanet,..?� If your skin is too thin here, you�re hosed in real life.

Your mean. Jeff, LOL!!!! If you hadn't quoted him I wouldn't have seen what he posted. Tell "Bart" I'd gladly love him to insult me in person, because them I could kick his azz and he'd finally shut up, which would be a great favor to everyone. Now, just so others here know I'm not talking out of my azz. I retired a Major because I was medically grounded for two years during the mid point of my career and was almost medcially retired. I fought back and managed to remain for a total of 24 years. While the medical grounding wasn't itself held against me, it did prevent me from holding key jobs that I needed at the time to be competitive for higher rank. However, any military officer will tell you that rank is NOT the most important indicator of one's acheievments. In fact, those whose only goal was promotion are not thought of very highly. As it was, I rose to the absolute top of my profession. I finished my flying career as an evaluator who determined if the instructor pilots who trained new instructors were qualified to teach these new instructors. Further, I served three during deployments in the Middle East. There are young troops walking around today because of what I personally accomplished while I was deployed. To top it all off, the company I'm now working for created a position for me just to get me in the company and I am on a track to bigger and better things. That just goes to show things like my Cum Laude undergraduate degree, ROTC Distinguished Grad, Honor Society membership, Who's Who recognition, and 4.0 MBA were indeed indicators of my potential. Now, NONE of that makes me an expert in anything or means I am better than anyone else. MANY on the Campfire have far exceeded anything I have done. However, it does mean "Bart" is STILL full of schitt.....................
