I spoke with an attorney who is a close friend, specializing in First Amendment cases, libel, and slander in public media. He was especially concerned about a tactic used by these disruptive individuals to subject others to hatred, ridicule and contempt.
must be a chitty lawyer.......1st Amendment issues have nothing to do with a privately owned internet site.....it only covers what the government does......kinda like i can run or not run what i want in my newspaper and im not hurting anyones 1st Amendment rights.....

Open letter to Rick Bin ------------------ Dear Rick Bin:
Thank you for providing a forum for hunters and shooters to discuss their hobby and buy, sell and swap equipment. It is a commercial website to promote McMillan gunstocks, and has other sponsors in the optics, truck, ATV and gear businesses.
The problem is that the discussion is unmoderated. Like many such forums on the Internet, the lack of controls attracts individuals whose intent is to disrupt serious and friendly conversation, and to fraternize with similar trouble makers. They are like the losers in school who become bullies, and here, they can avoid growing up. A few ringleaders try to provoke explanations which they can degrade into argument and name-calling, then invite the gang in to pile on. They even stalk and personally attack other posters who stand up to them, to drive them out of the web site.
Sadly, this is condoned and even encouraged by some of those who write articles and earn a livelihood by writing. Outfitters and guides with solid reputations are defamed here daily. Professionals like myself are defamed by falsehoods about our work by anonymous posters who do not even know us.
I spoke with an attorney who is a close friend, specializing in First Amendment cases, libel, and slander in public media. He was especially concerned about a tactic used by these disruptive individuals to subject others to hatred, ridicule and contempt.
Photos of real people are posted and the audience is falsely told that this is so-and-so, the target of the gang. Many of these people are mentally retarded, handicapped, or otherwise chronically disabled. Some are just innocent hunters and fishermen who never heard of, or visited 24HourCampfire.
Targets of this hatred whose identities are unknown, are accused of being someone on another web forum, or some person whose name or career loosely matches them. The names of unrelated people in other Internet forums, business people, engineers, architects, and other professionals have been posted on 24HourCampfire for the purpose of subjecting them to hatred, ridicule and contempt.
After just one minute of observing posts and the demeaning soft-core pornographic images of women posted here, my attorney said he not only would never join this site, but would never visit it again.
The website, 24HourCampfire, has become a public nuisance. At some point, these innocent people outside this forum may become aware they are being used, ridiculed and attacked with vicious falsehoods, and some of them may take legal action against the owners and businesses sponsoring this website. No one can blame them for that.
I do not want to be, in any way, the cause or excuse for these social misfits to defame and abuse others, and to bring harm to the owners of this enterprise and the underlying businesses which use it for marketing and public relations. Nor do I want to be caught in the middle of such litigation. Last night, I decided to stop reading and responding to these attacks on me in an attempt to defend my opinions and my reputation. Today, I am ceasing to post anything here. Please close my account and remove my personal information immediately.
Thank you for your noble ideas in starting this web site and your efforts to make it work. I hope you clean it up before a few trespassers ruin things for everyone, including 24hourcampfire.com, Inc and its sponsors.
Lee24 I had to temporarily "unignore" Lee24 to see what everybody was so happy about.. Anyway, now that I read the post, I thought somebody should quote this so Lee24 can't delete it... John

Though he makes some points, he brought much of it on himself with his constant arguing with those who insult him . I would have left years ago for just a percentage of crap he took.
But Lee does raise a point. I saw a new poster just today with only 42 posts, insulted for putting forth a well written, well thought out opinion, and it rolled on by without comment because people around here have desensitized themselves to these rude posts.

Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya! +1.... 22 minutes later and he's still logged on. Go figure he can't even tell the truth about leaving......... dang just once I was hopin he was telling the truth bout something! I agree with Lee, if some of the regulars here were hounding regular guys, it would be a travesty to this site and all it provides in the way of knowledge and companionship. fortunately the only guys I see stalked and hunted down are Lee24 and perhaps Maser. one is a guy that is so full of turkey feathers that if not run off or called on his BS, he would be likely to post information under the guise of him being expert on all things that could get someone hurt or cost them money. the other was given a chance to grow up and become a part of this online community but failed miserably at that attempt. none of the regulars or anyone with respect for the shooting sports desire to have this individual misconstrue that he or his ilk are "the future of the shooting sports" as he states in his sig line. we're all hoping his kid has a future, but he's off to a rough start with a guy that likes to wet his pants and post it on youtube or pose in a bunny costume as his dad. Lee24 it's an awful thing to call an honest man a liar, tis fighting words. But calling a liar a liar is perfectly acceptable and should be encouraged. hope both those guys get the professional help they need. and yes Rick Bin, thanks again for providing such a wonderful place for outdoorsmen and women to gather and discus all things.

If that's his attorney, I too would've listened. I could pay attention to that aaalll day. :O)
"..my attorney said he not only would never join this site, but would never visit it again."
Alrighty then, yet another drama has been settled by the last chapter.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
