Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire thread highjacking/spoiling

Everyone has a right to their opinion.
Don't let a few rude folks ruin it for you and I hope you stay around and post a bit more often.

It's not mine, I stole it from someone on here. I am ashamed

Okay, now, yeah, I guess you can, I did

~PL~

Keep saying it, maybe it'll come true for ya, Bart!

The hilarity of actual short-bussers using the term as an insult is always appreciated! Thanks.

Learn how to be disagreed with, Bartlett. You'll be amazed what opens up for you, literally and figuratively, if you do.

This thread is proof again as to why immortality is overrated.

Jeff, the person I miss the reading the most on this site is Big Stick. That was one funny sob. Oh, and by the way, although my profile don't say it, I first started reading the campfire DAILY in Dec. of 2000 I believe. could be one year earlier, or one year later. three hard drive crashes and 2 internet providers later, I lose track. Tim.

One of the captains whom I worked with at the proving ground was a true multi-decorated hero of the Viet Nam war � subject of a chapter or two in one of General "Slam" Marshall's books. He was a quiet guy, but his combat record hollered. He'd been decorated several times for the way that he'd led his men out of a couple of NVA ambushes. He was a true living legend among the other officers and noncoms � veterans all � at the proving ground.

When he came-up for promotion to major, he was older than any of the other candidate captains, so the Army brains said that he was "too old" (at thirty-five! IIRC) to be included in the quota for promotions to major. (The truth is that his combat commission wasn't considered as worthy as the others' Academy training.) The Army then demoted him to Master Sergeant, transferred him, and retired him.

By no means would I put him in the same category with a forcibly retired Navy LT whom I'd worked with, who'd warped the keel of his destroyer by running it at flank speed all the way back to Norfolk to take his wife to dinner. He wore that idolized, magical Academy ring � and the superior attitude that went with it � so he'd retired with the usual hoop-la (but no promotion to LCDR).

I know nothing of friend Blaine's record, but I'd be awful slow to disparage his rank or his retirement.

I've gotta admit I chuckled at that one.

Don't take it so seriously. A serious, well intentioned question will usually be addressed (sooner or later) by someone who is actually helpful.

And if not, who cares. As someone says, "It's just the fuggin' internet."

I freely admit I have not read much of this thread.

yep by all means stick around PJ or take leave if it suits you.

but if this chit bothers ya, you're definitley gonna wanna head for the hills before the next election season. (grin)

Just chill out and stick around. My guess is, you don't surf much. No offense intended. I hope this isn't as arrogant as it sounds but...to those of us who are veterans of several sites, this one is a piece of cake. Good folks. Lots of good advice. GREAT owner/moderator. It's all good...

Look on the bright side, you could be living in California.

Oops, you are, my bad...

...in the hood.

I hope Big Stick sticks around this time, and I told him so.

It's up to him, not the rest of us, though. I've read some of his posts from years back and they are like a different person. Now, he just acts like the drunk trying to raise as much hell as he can before he gets thrown out of the bar.

Here's hoping he calms down a bit and stays. He's funny, sometimes, and sure seems to know his stuff, when he's not wiggin' out because he's been shown to be wrong.

Dude, I got to LOL!

"I freely admit I have not read much of this thread."

Can I steal that for my new sig line?

So am I.

Please bear with us.

(True gentlemen seem to tend to,)

Why not? In a world where JO ....Oh, never mind.

You can do that, or was it in a pounding sea?

Thanks to all.But my post was not primarily about me.I am a to serious person but my questions have never been that important to be offended by.I'm mild in nature 6'4" and 235 lb's and work on trucks for living every day.I hate bulies and always stick up for the underdog.It bother me greatly to see somebody put there heart and soul into a custom gun and be treated like that.My wife says I should not even be on the net.She's probley right.I just like hunting and hunting rifles.I hope I have not offended anybody.I just think people should be more respectful unless you know them real well. sincerely PJ

I hear you, here, get yourself a copy of this book and read it, I did, it went a long way in helping me understand Steelhead.

Chapter 1 introduces the reader to the [bleep], revealing tell-tale signs and dispelling popular misconceptions about the motivations of an [bleep].

Chapter 2 looks deeper into the conscience of an [bleep] and reveals exactly how an [bleep] perceives him or her self. Self interest is the single most powerful motivating force for any [bleep], and it is here we find the key to understanding the [bleep] mentality.

Chapter 3 unravels the complex and troubled way in which [bleep] deal with other people. It looks at how the [bleep] establishes relationships with family and neighbors early in life and how this sets the tone for all human relationships thereafter.

In Chapter 4, the author deals with the sensitive issue of romantic relationships. There is no other area in which the [bleep] and non-[bleep] character types have more ability to harm each other than in a heterogenous relationship. [bleep]-to-[bleep] relationships are also addressed to uncover some shocking truths and suggest practical ways to assist in a successful relationship.
