Candor compels me to confess that yes, I do feel that some of my values are better than some that show-up here.
Doesn't everybody feel exactly that way about his own values?
Isn't that the essence of honest disagreement?
Why would my opinions be any more a sign of "arrogance" than anybody else's? Is your opinion a sign of "arrogance?"
Spare me 0.02� psychobabblish appraisals of my mind set. I don't think I called you arrogant, but since you mentioned it...if the shoe fits.... So much for my $.02 worth of trying to be polite.

There was a time that I thought every military failure was promotedd to Major or Lt. Commander and then parked somewhere out of the way. Lately I'm not so sure about that. I think I could get along with Blaine just fine and I highly respect him for his his service to the country.. From what I've read he is a pretty savvy guy too. What worries me is I think I could like Bart as well. Maybe I need a Doctor. My only issue with Bart is he is disrespectful, and I don't tolerate disrespect. It has nothing to do with one's rank or occupation or socio-economic status. With me, most everyone starts out with a whole boatload of respect. However, many of the folks work extra hard at pissing away that respect, and once it's gone it's very hard to get back.

I've read most of your posts Blaine and you have been as arrogant as anyone that's come through here. You have earned ZERO respect in my opinion. I don't like you and have no problem letting you and everyone else know how I feel.

Ditto Sir. Also, you can't judge a Military Man by rank achieved. I knew a LCDR who retired after 30. He started out as a Seaman Recruit, advanced through Senior Chief, and got his commission. He was a very successful man.
As a Medic I was involved in several life/death situations. Some lived and some didn't. Was I successful in my Military career? I don't particularly feel so but I bet there are others who would disagree.
Those who are disrespectful to others have some deep seated personal problems. Nothing more and nothing less.

I'm sorry, I misread the post on the long range shooting pissin' match. But, clarify how these other guys "took the title from Stick" in the long range arena. I'd like to know, cuz I know some Nevada and Oregon boys that do Ok in the long range arena. Tim. The "495" in "rost495" means something. It means he shot a 495 out of 500 in a Highpower match. There aren't to many guys that can shoot iron sights that well. MontanaMarine can shoot sub moa with his 308 at over 1100 yds from prone--that is a BIG deal. We have real military snipers that post here. We have many other competition shooters here. Competiton shooting is miles above casual field shooting in terms of precision and consistency. Boyd Heaton used to post here, and he's one of the heavies in the 1000 yd BR game. There are a bunch of guys who shoot competively and post here that I'm missing. Larry may be an above average shooter, but he is by no means exceptional. It just took the Campfire a while to figure that out.

You wish! To the contrary, my willingness to stand toe to toe with you thread-wreckers and make perfectly factual, reasonable arguments drives you guys nuckin' futz. Learn how to contribute to a reasonable debate, Bart. It's not too late, and you'll be a better man for it. Heck, you might even win one someday, my Brutha! Delusional is an understatement
