I almost left after he and a few others bashed the Barnes X....... some things should be sacred.

If enough expertise leaves,the site dies.Steve,besides being an upfront Christian gentleman,had a great deal of knowledge to share.

I'm pretty dang certain a whole bunch of 223AI's were spawned by his articles. Lots of folks seem to think it's a 'Fire thing, but a big/early part of it began back when because of said work.

He's also been a big guy for the 280AI, which has seemed to come on strong as of late.

I don't believe in bashing anyone's religion unless the religion is being used to justify killing innocent people, the mooslim faith seems to have a bit of proclivity in this direction.

I hope Steve will return. I learned from him and enjoyed his input on the 'Fire.

Seems as though he knew a thing or two about reticles also. <GRIN>
He was helpful to me on my 223 AI build last year. I would welcome him back in a heartbeat.

I had a long phone conversation with Steve maybe 2 weeks ago and he was happy and cheerful and full of his same old spirit. I don't recall that we talked about the Campfire much at all, but I would guess he has found other ways to fill up his spare time. Steve isn't one to worry much about water under the bridge, and I suspect that is how he regards the Campfire.
I must admit that sometimes I grow a little weary of some Internet BS, but nobody has attacked me personally all that much.

It's a cryin' shame if Steve isn't around anymore. He has a pile of experience and knowledge to share and is a genuine, top shelf guy. It's our loss, if a few jackoff's made him decide it wasn't worth his time here anymore.

Ya know, the one thing about the internet that irks me is the small minds that cost us the vast knowledge that individuals like Steve bring to this forum, especially when those same small mind's cranial capacity is such that they have little, if nothing, to add to a conversation.

Teal and BMT are spot on. A few real narrow minded, uneducated, ill mannered idiots kept piling on my good friend Steve and ran him away from the Campfire.
All of us are missing out on fellowship with one of the FINEST of men because of a handful of Neanderthals. +1 Steve is a good man, and I miss reading his posts here.

I think very highly of Steve and he has helped me on more than one occasion.
The truth is his lack of participation has as much to do with being hyper sensitive to his views being taken to task, and not just Catholicism, as being bashed by bullies.
Regardless the Campfire is poorer for his leaving.

If everyone would keep their religious views where they belong (personal and not public)......don't be surprised if someone disagrees.
Anywhere is the proper forum for the good news of The Gospel. Jesus secured new life for every man. Doesn't matter what your opinion is.

I was ganged up on by several CF members due to my choosing a TC Encore to hunt with. Seems that since I didn't pay $20K for a Martini-Hagn there was no way I should be able to hunt with a clear conscience.
I nearly swore off of this site based upon that but I find way too many good guys here that far outweigh idiots such as those.
I miss Dogzapper too. In fact, I clicked on this post to see if I could find his 120 gr 280 load everyone raved about a while back.
