Just wondering, since I'm relatively new here, why certain folk (one guy in particular) are allowed to wander from topic to topic spewing insulting language, thinly disguised profanity, and generally meaningless drivel. A few other forums I frequent would sideline them for periods of from weeks to months, or forever.

Because Rick doesn't understand how many people can be driven off a forum by one or two bad apples.
Accuratereloading.com was essentially killed by one America hating prick who was allowed to run amok unchecked.
If Rick isn't careful, this site may suffer the same fate and he can kiss his precious add revenue good bye.
There is an ignore feature here. It wokks great. I recomend you right click on my name, select view profile, then put me on ignore. It will make both our lives better.

The reason is the owner,Rick,isn't a heavy handed guy. We've done fairly well flushing the turds in the past and eventually the trolls/a-holes pick up their toys and go home. As for that one guy that is such a pain in the butt... He'll get what's coming to him and get banned eventually. Those typs get bolder and bolder, cross a line that shouldn't be crossed and then will be gone. It's happened before and will happen again. You should start dogging the a-hole... Nothing worse than a Noob following you around, calling BS after every post. It would be great to see that happen.
If someone want to troll the main Fire, that's one thing. They individual 603's referring to is trolling the reloading and shooting threads, i.e. the places where members usually try to be helpful and supporting of other members and our sport. It looks like he's been getting away with it for over 30k posts, so I don't think this situation will self correct anytime soon.
I wonder if the people that spout off so rudely would do so face to face. All the write ups about CF gatherings speak of how friendly, polite, accepting, gentlemanly and open everyone is. Maybe they don't attend. I am also a little surprised as it seems that the age of the members here seem a little older than other boards I frequent. The comments about the youth of our country going to chit is no surprise if any of the really negative people here have raised kids.
I didn't say I was leaving, but I don't come here as often as I go to a few others. The forums can be interesting at times. Good info on reloading is always welcome, or what everyone's favorite bullet is. And you have the Savage lovers and the Glock lovers and the high end glass guys. It's all interesting and I enjoy offering what I've learned and what I know (and sometimes what I THINK I know) from 50 ish years of hunting and shooting. And...on some of the forums the most knowledgable people can be borderline jerks, but they have good info, so we overlook any social deficiencies they might display from time to time.
But here...you have many knowledgable people with info to share and you also have a few guys that seem to have only a desire to argue and disrupt. I'm not a shrink, nor am I in charge of the forum, but if a person has nothing to offer but insults and vitriol, why are they here? Or better said, why are they allowed to be here? I can't help but think they've been banished from other forums, and have only this place left to share their unhappiness and make their cry for attention.
Compared to most other forums the campfire is basically un moderated. You have to really work at getting kicked off here. Don't say anything stupid and you won't have any problems. Been here 7+ years and as far as I know I haven't had any conflicts with anyone. Certainly nothing from my end. I have on one on ignore and as far as I know, no one is ignoring me. That does not mean there is complete agreement all the time.
One thing I've learned is that some of the most outspoken guys who come across as real A-holes actually have a lot of knowledge. If you can get past their attitude, a lot can be learned from. Others, not so much.
Rather interesting,how those who Whine the most..."do" the least and it's always the same cast of Mall Ninja Window Lickers cryin' The Blues.
Whine on.................
Heyy, captain dingleberry. I noticed your profile says your a "timber tramp". Does that mean you travel from lumber camp to lumber camp servicing men... Sounds about right
I think that smarquez said it pretty well, in that the bothersome ones can't act like that in public - they'd be shunned. But here they can be more than the sum of their actual parts. I'd guess that they aren't married (who'd tolerate them) and never were successful in team sports (again, who'd tolerate them). That would lead to a big feeling of inadequacy, hence the cry for attention.
Don't let the door hit you in the azz on your way out.
He ask a valid question. You don't have to be a prick every time someone posts.
Precisely. It's pretty fugging sad that this site has reached a point where a guy, new or longtimer, can't ask a simple, inoffensive question without being belittled by the members. Whatever happened to either typing an answer or simply moving on to the next topic?
BTW, Take A Pee, pretty sure he's referring to you.
Why you guys picking on one our senior citizens. Big Sticks presence here has a balancing effect on some of the riffraff on the forum. I may not agree with him, but have nothing to pick on him about.

I've never had a problem with Stick. I just don't know what in the hell he's talking about most of the time. I need a "Sticktionary I guess.

We have a bunch like that. It comes with the territory here. On the up side, though, since the moderator doesn't exercise much power in that regard, you don't find the corruptions of power typical at most discussion forums.
I do not know Rick personally but from his actions and his posts on here I can assume he is a true believer in the Constitution and he practices what he believes in.
I have found that many folks here believe in the "practice what you preach" principle, I like those folks, the others not so much.
I imagine the guy actually has some valuable knowledge to share if he chose to write complete sentences and treat members with a little respect.
I got here in 2003 as Bart185 and he was a big part of the Campfire then. The things he's done with Remington rifles amazed me enough to do some of the things he did and I got results. His pics of his family,dead critters,and Alaska were amazing. Y'all only know what he lets you know now. Back then,he was different. I think that the advice that he gave the most was "Break Bones". He was the first guy I ever saw that could make the original Barnes X-Bullets shoot clover leaf groups.

And then there's this fool.^^^ The biggest IDIOT in the world.
So I gather that this person known as Big Stick was once a contributing, useful, and valuable member of this forum? That really is interesting, and I say that in all seriousness. So what changed? To a noobie, he comes across as a few bricks shy of a load, and completely useless. Why would a supposedly intelligent person play the fool? I've never met him, and don't hope to. I suspect that he's not a happy person.
This really is, in some ways, a very interesting forum. Some of the other forums seem dominated by a person or a group, though this one isn't. The good news is that the 'dominating' people on the other forums I frequent are at least very knowledgable, if tiresome. There's a lot of knowledge here also, though more than a good share of tiresome from a few. They've been tolerated this far, so why not tolerate them a while longer..I suppose.
And you say that this Big Stick person is an older guy. Also interesting, in that he acts quite childish. Could it be that he's old enough to be approaching the 'use by' date.
Reminds me of a story from my Dad. I went to visit him some years ago and I asked about local news. You know...what's going on and who's doing what and whom? He said that "Old man ____ had died". I said I didn't know who that was. He said that surely I'd remember that old man. He was a major pain in the butt, and everyone hated him with a passion. Wow, said I, so he's dead now, and did any body go to the funeral? "Oh yes", Dad said. "The funeral home and the gravesite were packed with people". Well heck, said I, why did everybody go there?. "Well", Dad said, "I think we just all wanted to make sure that the old SOB was really dead". True story...
There is an ignore feature here. It wokks great. I recomend you right click on my name, select view profile, then put me on ignore. It will make both our lives better.
Do you see yourself as going from thread to thread using poor social graces?
So I gather that this person known as Big Stick was once a contributing, useful, and valuable member of this forum?
He was. Part of the reason, I think, was the sheer number of people that wanted to call BS on every post that he replied to or started. Lots tried to one up him, and failed because they did not have the experience that he has. That did not keep them from trying so he got to giving smart azz replies. That soon got to be a habit that he enjoyed. Then there were some personal issues. At least that is my take. I would not hesitate to ask his advice and would listen real close. miles

Scott was replying to known troll. His post should not be taken as a general recommendation.

He still is. Nothing's changed other than he's kinda like a fine wine...just gets better with age.
This is just a guess but I know life has delt him a tough hand. I think that had a lot to do with the change. The deatails are not mine to give.
He knows firearms and hunting but it seems he had lost the desire to share. His choice. Hr does not bother me. If he bothers you follow my instructions on how to ignore someone.
I have picked up good information from Stick. I can also understand where he is coming from. If he decided that I would be a good target for his sarcasm, I would just let it roll off, taking the info he dishes. I would also bet though if I should show up in "Kansas on the Milford" there would be a very interesting guy there to visit with.
Well you have the 4-5 here that if you say something negative about him, it's like tugging on superman's cape to them. Personally I have never seen that much useful information in his post even after sorting thru his BS. Most of them do not even deal with what has been asked or discussed.
There are far more knowledgeable members on here that will actually give you good information.
I have been on here 10+ years and only have two people on ignore. If I want to hear or read trash talk, I just go into town and stand on a corner.

Free speech basically. It is true that some use such tactics because they can't formulate a real argument or rebuttal. Or some just act in a childish manner whenever someone disagrees with them.
More important is when someone makes unacceptable allusions to violence or other reprehensible behaviours, but I blame more those who remain silent in the face of such things, then I do the weakling who barks in the internet where they don't have to be accountable to anything.
Well, I just had to ask about that small group of folks. I have a better understanding now. And if Big Stick wants to share his knowledge again, maybe we'll all be the better for it.
For the record, I have no grudge with anyone here. I was just trying to understand the rather aggressive and often insulting back-and-forth dialogue.
Still would LOVE to see pics of the Whiners and a front row seat view of their "vocation".
Funny how they's all just a touch more than a whoooollllllllllllllllle bunch reluctant,in that invasion of their Imaginations and it's Pretend..................(grin)
I don't think some of those folks realize they are shutting down any chance of a good intelligent conversation - those are rare - but having every damned threat filled with snipping makes sure they won't occur.
Just wondering, since I'm relatively new here.......
I'm wondering why people have compiled 8 pages of responses to a question from a new guy about how the forum is run. Or why a new guy would ask that question in the first place.

Well said Paul. Funny how so many here schit on California, and yet that is where Rick and this forum originate. The hands off approach can be tiresome, but it always separates the wheat from the chafe. Never had a problem with Stick or Bricktop, but each know WTF they talking about. Grow some skin and get a sense of humor and this place is great. Won't take long to figure who the dipwads are.
I getta kick outta Dumb [bleep] lining up for miles and miles,to wax eloquent with their Vagina Monologue(s) and reiterate time and again,how Stupidity is THE gift that keeps on giving.

Repeat as necessary.
Well on the bright side, those are all his, originals. Not like some of the posters or posers who like to post a link to Lew Rockwell or Vox Day or some other D-bag. Clear thinking and reasoning. Prove him wrong.
This is the deal. Big Stick is a member had has been since long befoe thos who are complaining. Rick runs a forum where we can do pretty much what we want. Get use to it or log off. Stick can do as he wishes until the day Rick decides otherwise and in my experience that takes a lot.

SquatToPee...here's 1000 words beyond your means,ability and comprehension,ala fire-form loads,with 1000MOA + dumped into the erector between pokes,with one of them there "tricky" Montanas.
50's in the wind. Lowest cluster for conversation.
Perhaps revisit how you are too [bleep] stupid to run a camera,too [bleep] broke to procure same and points awarded for a Secret Squirrel Excuse and a fresh Whine.
Bigstick post pics of what he does while others come up with excuses. Bigstick has some pretty good you tube videos on shooting as well. He doesnt bother me maybe because i dont ask stupid questions.
Puny stuff. The first 4700 tonnes with 75,000 more to follow... All dressed the "boat" will go 600,000 tonnes. Almost comical how threads spin and that folks GAF as much as they do.
What I wrote was the truth. Are you calling me a liar? Just because I CHOOSE not to post pics, and because I don't put my 201 file and SSN on this site, has nothing to do with anything.
Unlike you, at least I HAVE a 201 file.
Leupold M3 elev turrets have always been MOA. Leupold nomenclature has changed, the scopes were called "Ultras", before the MKIV name was coined

SquatToPee,
PLEASE cite where your Imagination has granted you enough Pretend,to find me "mistaken".
It WILL be funny.(hint)
You most assuredly are a lying piece of schit,as an absolute minimum.

+1, and I find it funny how many people get there panties in bunch over what he says!
The don'ters always have that bitchin' Whine,fresh excuses and are more than a touch afeared of pics...if only because it'll crush their Imaginations and it's Pretend.
If anyone needs any bad advice on rain gear I'm here to help.
Hang in there. I bet you didn't upgrade your rain gear this year. Might be time. Some of that liquid global warming. Hang in there it's got to move off sometime.
Don't you need to take your disgusting fat body to bed?
lol i' m than inch taller than you and outweigh you by 15# and its not fat. you sure are fascinated by fat people...maybe because you're fat, probably why you won't post a picture.....
I suppose people come here for different reasons. If your here to simply bullchit and tell tall tales, Stick ain't your guy. Sometimes though, you are looking for someone who can give you a definitive answer to a question you need answered.
On several occasions I've been in a situation where I needed real answer and not a guess. Several times Crossfire has been the guy who could provide that answer on certain equipment repairs,and I knew I could take that info to the bank. On several other occasions, it been Stick would gave me answers in regards to shooting/loading and I knew that information was no guess. That,to me, is quite valuable.
I've PM'ed Stick on several occasions for certain load info,bullet choice,etc, and in every case he has been very helpful and saved me time,money and frustration. Too many times on forums like these you ask a question and get answers from fanboys who advocate their favorite product, but have no real reason for doing so. To me, that is extremely frustrating. However, if a guy like Stick says "use product A", I know that there is a good reason for it. He's never insulted me that I know of, but I wouldn't even care if he did, so long as he also included the information I was looking for. I don't mind being insulted, so long as its done well!

I'll be there, no desire to though, especially since it sounds like we will be lacking money for parts...

Mommy told me to grab my toys and come home when bullies are around.
Whether "someone" is insulting, or not insulting... whether they are contributing or not contributing isn't really that important to me. What is extremely entertaining is the fact that we have a thread about someone(s) that you disagree with.
And the fact that apparently you can't handle a little shhit being flicked at others. Heaven forbid shhit gets flicked when someone says something stupid. If you read carefully, the shhit don't get flicked haphazardly. And it isn't coming from just one person.
Its the difference between the Fire and other sites. Many other sites are full of BS info. Mommy gives a timeout to anyone that tries to set people straight.
So would you prefer BS info getting "offered" uncontested or would you care to hang with fellas that can flick some shhit now and then and keep things in check?
Just need to harden up a little bit. Pussification of American men is happening in front of our eyes. God help us.
It's interesting that you say that, 4th. Since I started this chat, and since Big Stick has been defended by a few folks, I took more interest in seeing what he'd had to offer on other subjects. And yes, he seems to know quite a bit, and offers up more than just insults, though he obviously enjoys belittling people more than helping them.
It isn't that I can't handle the muck being spread. It's more that I had to ask why the moderator allows it. It brings nothing positive to this forum, and brings (at times) a good bit of negative. Earlier I had said that nobody dominates this forum. I was wrong. It's Big Stick. Losing him from this forum would most likely be more positive than negative. It's not my call, but if it was, and if he couldn't be civil, I'd bounce him out of here.
Anyway, I'll stick around (no pun intended), and I'll offer info when I can or choose to.
Just need to harden up a little bit. Pussification of American men is happening in front of our eyes. God help us.
Talking with other men, who all share the same interests (hunting, shooting, outdoors, etc.) in a 'decent' manner isn't "pussification". There's nothing 'manly' about bein' a prick...regardless of how much knowledge one has about hunting, shooting, reloading, etc.. There always will be greater and lesser persons than each of us. Some have much more knowledge and experience than many of us when it comes to the things that we all have a common interest in (hunting and shooting and such)...while others have less knowledge and experience than many of us regarding the same things. Those who have more knowledge and experienced shouldn't be revered...and those who have less knowledge and experience shouldn't be looked down on. Much of the interaction here between men would not happen in a hunting camp, for a variety of reasons. Birdwatcher posted this in another thread within the last day or two, "...on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." What he posted was appropriate regarding the issue at hand on that thread...and it's appropriate here as well. There is a ton of knowledge and experience among the members on this board regarding shooting, hunting, reloading, gun smithing, knife making...and just about anything else. It's nice to be able to access that knowledge and experience. And it'd be even nicer to be able to do so without so much of the extraneous BS (insults and such) that are pretty common here...that are not common in hunting camps or in the field. With our common interests, you'd think there'd be more camaderie and less discord here...like there is in hunting camps and in the field.

No, you really didn't. You chose to.
No one who posts here is required to. Everyone who frequents the place does so voluntarily, some to exchange information, some for entertainment, and some to just BS.
The guy who pays for it gets to decide how to moderate. The rest of us get to decide whether we will participate.
Just need to harden up a little bit. Pussification of American men is happening in front of our eyes. God help us.
Talking with other men, who all share the same interests (hunting, shooting, outdoors, etc.) in a 'decent' manner isn't "pussification". There's nothing 'manly' about bein' a prick...regardless of how much knowledge one has about hunting, shooting, reloading, etc.. There always will be greater and lesser persons than each of us. Some have much more knowledge and experience than many of us when it comes to the things that we all have a common interest in (hunting and shooting and such)...while others have less knowledge and experience than many of us regarding the same things. Those who have more knowledge and experienced shouldn't be revered...and those who have less knowledge and experience shouldn't be looked down on. Much of the interaction here between men would not happen in a hunting camp, for a variety of reasons. Birdwatcher posted this in another thread within the last day or two, "...on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." What he posted was appropriate regarding the issue at hand on that thread...and it's appropriate here as well. There is a ton of knowledge and experience among the members on this board regarding shooting, hunting, reloading, gun smithing, knife making...and just about anything else. It's nice to be able to access that knowledge and experience. And it'd be even nicer to be able to do so without so much of the extraneous BS (insults and such) that are pretty common here...that are not common in hunting camps or in the field. With our common interests, you'd think there'd be more camaderie and less discord here...like there is in hunting camps and in the field.
If you gotta type that much,to convince yourself you are not a poozy.
You're a [bleep] poozy.
Cheer up...I get by in the flesh too..................(hint)
It's interesting that you say that, 4th. Since I started this chat, and since Big Stick has been defended by a few folks, I took more interest in seeing what he'd had to offer on other subjects. And yes, he seems to know quite a bit, and offers up more than just insults, though he obviously enjoys belittling people more than helping them.
It isn't that I can't handle the muck being spread. It's more that I had to ask why the moderator allows it. It brings nothing positive to this forum, and brings (at times) a good bit of negative. Earlier I had said that nobody dominates this forum. I was wrong. It's Big Stick. Losing him from this forum would most likely be more positive than negative. It's not my call, but if it was, and if he couldn't be civil, I'd bounce him out of here.
Anyway, I'll stick around (no pun intended), and I'll offer info when I can or choose to.
Ahhhhh...the "dreaded" I'm A Clueless [bleep] And My STUPIDITY Is Everyone Else's "Fault" Ploy.
To the OP, if someone offends you send them a mean PM or just reply and call them a fitting name. It seems that how it works around here. Speak your mind. Sometimes a joke is taken the wrong way and sometimes people are genuine buttholes and sometimes a joke is taken the wrong way and someone over reacts. Get some thick skin and just be yourself, birds of a feather flock together so you will find a group of guys that you can correspond with without all the bull$hit.

Stick has thrown a few insults at me, too. But he does have a lot of knowledge, pays close attention to details, and freely shares them. Even if I were the moderator here, I'd probably leave him be. I've been at a couple of other forums in the past, who had control freaks in charge, and they frequently got in the way of useful info being shared.
So accept what's useful, and filter out what's not useful or annoying to you. The world won't ever be perfect, but that doesn't mean you should try to silence others.
If all the other forums bounced their malcontents, I guess this is where they went. Had to go somewhere I suppose. My obvious mistake was to assume that insults and profanity weren't necessary on a hunting/shooting forum.
And, a lot gets said here as some of you hide behind the veil of the internet. I'm betting that you wouldn't say it to a person's face in a bar or on the street - if you wanted to keep your front teeth. The internet has allowed a lot of people to talk on forums like they are hung like King Kong, when in public and real life they are hung like a hamster.
I won't say anything on a forum that I wouldn't say to your face.
Can you imagine some of these fembots in boot!? Weeping uncontrollably cuz their DI doesn't instruct them 'politely'!
FWIW, I can't recall Stick ridiculing/insulting someone for not knowing about a particular subject. What he does is castigate (castrate?) those idiots who don't know what they're talking about but don't refrain from hiding that fact. This place is FULL of them. He just doesn't suffer fools gladly.
I find him a source of info that can save me a lot of money and time by listening to his experience cuz he's BTDT.

You won't get my front teeth, you little (or big, makes no goddam difference),....and there's more than a few here that will verify THAT fact, you snivelly little punk azzwhole. Be REAL careful about who you call out, Miss Manners.
I seldom invoke my authority as the official curmudgeon here,....but in this case am going to validate the well articulated name that the Timber Tramp assigned you :
"603Poozy"
THIS is your handle now,....and it would be wise to go change your little "profile", by way of atomnement.
Gents (and Ladies),....that should henceforth be this overly sensitive jerkwad's handle.
On a related note, this thing was Rollin around the campground last weekend on the Russian river..didn't get a real close look to know what it was but I want one..
Just wondering, since I'm relatively new here, why certain folk (one guy in particular) are allowed to wander from topic to topic spewing insulting language, thinly disguised profanity, and generally meaningless drivel. A few other forums I frequent would sideline them for periods of from weeks to months, or forever.
This thread was dead at inception.
The country was founded and functions because generally meaningless drivel is not only allowed; but Constitutionally protected. No free society allows censorship.
Welcome to the Campfire....one of the last bastions of protected speech !
I'd been posting almost exclusively for 12 years over at Accurate Reloading, but things got awful slow there.
I wandered over here and started posting regularly about 18 months ago.
My advice, watch, be patient, contribute where you can, establish credibility and create a niche for yourself.
There are a ton of resources other than a forum like this for education, and there's nothing like personal experience.
I won't venture to speak for others, but as I'm a gainfully unemployed, empty-nester that does not watch TV, I come here for entertainment and a way to occupy my time.
What's the old bromide, Mind over Matter. If I don't mind, it don't matter. Be secure and confident in your own abilities and don't take anything personally.
Pay your dues, PM folks, keep a confidence and don't whine or complain. I find that the older I get, the smaller my circle of acquaintences can become. I've made a number of friends over the last 18 months, have hunted with several and have four hunts lined up with members in the next 12 months.
It's a good place to hang your hat, buy and sell, and let off steam.
Coming from AR which was heavily moderated I enjoy the lack of a heavy hand.
And as to B,
I tell folks I wouldn't post half the stuff I do were it not for his gentle jibes.
and B, if you're still follerin' this thread, no worries, more Haybale and Crockett tall tales from the Petting Zoo are just around the corner. Dove season opener is the 1st. Hoglets, bunnies and birds, watch-out. Adult beverages will be quaffed, stogies turned to ashes and
Some of us have contributed vast amounts to the fire and continue to do so when or meds are right... Over the long haul, that is But,being new, you may have simply caught someone in a bad year. Ric has me on ignore.

Quite a lengthy piece of text there mate, for someone whose usual posts are "Laffin'",...
I visualize an idiot sitting in front of a computer terminal, laughing, drooling, playing with himself, anonymous and set on keeping it that way.
A LOT of us here actually know one another,....no bad ass here, just someone who'd take exception to someone taking a swing at me. Pretty damned NORMAL behavior that.

LOL, this place is for venting and cutting up, rarely is the real man exposed here, the ones I've had the pleasure of meeting in person have been total gentlemen.
The true posers/mall ninjas here wouldnt show their hide in person.

We have three or four village idiots on this forum who persist in doing nothing poluting many topics with their brand of juvenile behavior. The chief perpetrator was banned for a while but allowed to return, little if any change he still behaves like he did prior to banning. In his absence several more have more than taken up the slack. Take your cutting up to a forum intended for than kind of childish moronic chit, potty mouthed mind in the gutter kind of stuff is not the intent here. If the only way you know haw to respond to opinions that do not concur with your own is to tell the poster to GFY then you belong elsewhere.

Damn I got sucked in. Damn I got sucked in! Stick is an abrasive personality, does not tolerate fools or bloviating no nothing's, but knows way more than I do, and as well as many of his fencing partners. So he has something to offer same with Travis GFY he is a real person as well and pictures prove it. Those that choose not to post pictures I cannot figure this out, as one picture would go a long way towards proving you were not a troll or sock puppet. As far as all the middle school banter and name calling "so what" it's always confined to exchanges between people who obviously enjoy these exchanges so just don't tune in if you get your feelings hurt easily. Or just become an SWFA optics forum member, they post some real exciting stuff over there and no one is allowed to be harsh or judgmental. You would fit in fine!
Accuratereloading.com was essentially killed by one America hating prick who was allowed to run amok unchecked.
Name?
I am sure he refers to Walter.... the son of Nazis who escaped to Chile... yet adores Muslims, Obama, liberals and anything else that is anti American....Saeed's Court Jester and White Version of Rochester the Butler ( of Jack Benny Fame)
The only thing stranger than the way BS talks is the way folks line up to cup his ball sack every time a thread like this starts. If you like him, that's all well and good. But some of this is downright embarrassing.
You hit the nail squarely on the head with that post.

Yeah, can yo' imagine a milqtoast guy like moi being banned, this one got me tossed for a couple months.....
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between grandmothers and grandfathers? Well, here it is:
There was this loving grandfather who always made a special effort to spend time with his daughter's family on weekends. Every Saturday morning he would take his 7-year-old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some quality time--just him and his granddaughter.
One particular Saturday, however, he had a bad cold and really didn't feel like being up at all. He knew his granddaughter always looked forward to their drives and would be disappointed. Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter for the drive.
When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her grandfather, who was still in bed.
"Well, did you enjoy your ride with Grandma?" he asked.
"Not so much the little girl replied.
Actually kinda boring.
We didn't see a single mofo, dumbfcuk, horse's ass, blind bastard, dipshit, raghead, Muslim goat humper, or son of a bitch anywhere we went!"
Almost brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
I think it was the muslim goat-humper that got me canned.

What I find even funnier is how all the good tolerant people that want this forum to be a kinder, more polite place feel absolutely no compunction whatsoever about going after 'Stick w/ foul language, personal insults and openly denigrate any one with an opinion different than their own - the very things they claim to find so offensive about 'Stick.

Well, as the OP on this one, it sure has been interesting. The Fridge Girls were a delightful addition. The realization that there were so many off-center dimwits on the forum was less than delightful, and quite honestly was a disappointment. I am truly amazed at the adoration, by a few, of Big Stick. It seems entirely unwarranted unless the profane revere him because he's the most profane. That seems to be an odd way to earn respect on a hunting/shooting/reloading forum. As to him being a wizard of shooting knowledge, that may be, but most of what I read from him doesn't support that. Sounds like he's just another small person that has little or no real life or real friends, but wants to be important somewhere. He's on this forum, with his acolytes, because other forums won't tolerate his gutter level verbal style. And to look at this on a larger scale, very few social groups would tolerate him. To put this a bit plainer, I won't see him at the country club unless he's shining shoes, parking cars, or unloading the dumpster. Or...perhaps 'diving' the dumpster.
I've met a few guys like him and his butt-buds, and I fired most of them or arranged that they be fired. So now maybe those of you that didn't understand the logic of my original post will now have a clearer picture of why I did it. I simply could not understand, and still can't, how a person like Stick can be allowed to participate in this forum. That said, he was firmly supported by a segment of this forum, pretty much all of whom had their say in the small words that hint to me that they are on the same socio-economic plane as the mighty Stick. And my use of the word "plane" in that sentence does not mean that you guys are flying anywhere.

I don't have the time to go running all over the internet hunting down all the nasty comments various folks have made about 'Stick over the years (i really didn't have time to go through this one thread - my boss thinks I'm getting hamburger patties out of the freezer, if he catches me on the internet again I'm gonna get fired for sure).
The idea that you are going to now grade insults and personal attacks and decide which ones are offensive and which ones are "reaching" is funnier still. Glad we have you and 603 here to do our thinking for us.
and yes, I did group your posts with squat-to-pee's, seemed like the right thing to do.

Where's the "foul language" and "personal insults" that 'you' asserted were coming from "good tolerant people that want this forum to be a kinder, more polite place"...?

I don't have the time to go running all over the internet hunting down all the nasty comments various folks have made about 'Stick over the years (i really didn't have time to go through this one thread - my boss thinks I'm getting hamburger patties out of the freezer, if he catches me on the internet again I'm gonna get fired for sure).
The idea that you are going to now grade insults and personal attacks and decide which ones are offensive and which ones are "reaching" is funnier still. Glad we have you and 603 here to do our thinking for us.
and yes, I did group your posts with squat-to-pee's, seemed like the right thing to do.
Just wondering, since I'm relatively new here, why certain folk (one guy in particular) are allowed to wander from topic to topic spewing insulting language, thinly disguised profanity, and generally meaningless drivel. A few other forums I frequent would sideline them for periods of from weeks to months, or forever.
Just sayin...
LMAO!!!!!!! Now that some funny stuff right there!
Well, as the OP on this one, it sure has been interesting. The Fridge Girls were a delightful addition. The realization that there were so many off-center dimwits on the forum was less than delightful, and quite honestly was a disappointment. I am truly amazed at the adoration, by a few, of Big Stick. It seems entirely unwarranted unless the profane revere him because he's the most profane. That seems to be an odd way to earn respect on a hunting/shooting/reloading forum. As to him being a wizard of shooting knowledge, that may be, but most of what I read from him doesn't support that. Sounds like he's just another small person that has little or no real life or real friends, but wants to be important somewhere. He's on this forum, with his acolytes, because other forums won't tolerate his gutter level verbal style. And to look at this on a larger scale, very few social groups would tolerate him. To put this a bit plainer, I won't see him at the country club unless he's shining shoes, parking cars, or unloading the dumpster. Or...perhaps 'diving' the dumpster.
I've met a few guys like him and his butt-buds, and I fired most of them or arranged that they be fired. So now maybe those of you that didn't understand the logic of my original post will now have a clearer picture of why I did it. I simply could not understand, and still can't, how a person like Stick can be allowed to participate in this forum. That said, he was firmly supported by a segment of this forum, pretty much all of whom had their say in the small words that hint to me that they are on the same socio-economic plane as the mighty Stick. And my use of the word "plane" in that sentence does not mean that you guys are flying anywhere.
hmmmm,..a butt kisser who thinks that kissin' butt makes him important.
Anyway,....
Don't look like you're gonna be able to arrange *chit* here.
Dang...I don't think that you guys appreciated my last note enough (those of you that understood it). It was quite well done, and even humorous in spots - to me anyway.
And my vocabulary allows me to make my point without profanity.
Obviously this isn't aimed at everyone, but...you know who you are.
The idea that you are going to now grade insults and personal attacks and decide which ones are offensive and which ones are "reaching" is funnier still.
So basically you were just talking out of your rearend when you made your assertion...?
'You' were the one who used the terms "foul language" and "personal insults" coming from "good tolerant people that want this forum to be a kinder, more polite place'". No 'grading', no 'deciding'...they were the terms 'you' used.
Did antelope sniper, Brother Bart, gitem_12, TAK, or Bluedreaux (all 'your' examples) ever say they wanted this forum to be a "kinder, more polite place"...?
Sayin' things based on what 'you' want them to be, are very different from the way things 'are'...at least in this instance.

You're alive! I figured you got absorbed by those huge waves of darkness I kept seeing on the news.

To put this a bit plainer, I won't see him at the country club unless he's shining shoes, parking cars, or unloading the dumpster. Or...perhaps 'diving' the dumpster.
Well, I guess that I will be a dis-appointment to you too, because you will never see me at a country club either. After reading this post, I will have to say that if I had to pick between You and Stick, Stick would win hands down. I never did like a back stabbing, condescending SOB. miles

He probably got pissed at the "intellectual elitist" thread...
Rattler, in defense of canazes9 ( and myself), having zillions of posts on this forum just might be akin to tenure in the California public school system. Just because a fellow has been here for a long time doesn't mean that he is necessarily more competent than the noobie.
I admit that I found this forum when I was looking for one that was a bit different, and this one certainly is. Lots of good info here on many subjects. It's just a shame that a few people, supposedly knowledgable people, can't offer up assistance in a friendly manner. It is possible that the profanity and insults hide a lack of true and relevant knowledge, or maybe some knowledge is there but not the depth of it that they want others to believe. As for me, I tend to get the good info, as I need it, from people that I know to be experts. And I can get the info clearly and without needless profanity. There is a direct connection (inverse) between level of education and the level of profanity used in normal conversation.

In my best "Mr. Rodgers voice" Hi everybody...can you say arrogant???
no but if you prefer how other forums are run stay there....you remind me of all the jackarses that move to Montana cause where they were was so bad and then promptly try to make Montana like home....if yah dont like how things are done here, dont hang out here....ive meet close to 70 members in person including a number on this thread....all good guys.....i aint one of Sticks arse kissers but dont have a problem with him either cause i know he knows what he is talking about....however i can only stand his delivery in small doses so i only read his posts every so often....i sure in the hell dont whine about him and act like i dont know how to deal with people i dont like other than ask they be removed from the room they were in before i got there...
and BTW ive run in all circles from dive bars to suit and tie rubbing shoulders with country club types....generally the dive bar types are better people over all

Hey motherbitches, it took 2 fuuckin' hours and a chitload of little screw removal but I fixed my godddamn camera.
High def cock shots coming up!
Dude... That's like fixing a DVD player. Or a weed eater. It just doesn't happen.
Travis
I'm not even sure how I fixed it?
Took that fuucker apart and was thinking how in the hell am I going to remember how this sonuvabitch goes back.
DO NOT attempt, not fun, an assortment of tiny little cock screws. Different lengths, different thread. And of course you need tiny little fingers to even get ahold of the little cocks.
I was sober, that is the ONLY way the miracle repair worked.

My IQ isn't 603. Shamefully, I'll have to admit that it's hardly half that, or half of that. Some of you guys can just give up, because none of the slow kids among you have the fingers you'd need for the math.
Well, it's been fun, but I'm outa here for now....probably.

Well, as the OP on this one, it sure has been interesting. The Fridge Girls were a delightful addition. The realization that there were so many off-center dimwits on the forum was less than delightful, and quite honestly was a disappointment. I am truly amazed at the adoration, by a few, of Big Stick. It seems entirely unwarranted unless the profane revere him because he's the most profane. That seems to be an odd way to earn respect on a hunting/shooting/reloading forum. As to him being a wizard of shooting knowledge, that may be, but most of what I read from him doesn't support that. Sounds like he's just another small person that has little or no real life or real friends, but wants to be important somewhere. He's on this forum, with his acolytes, because other forums won't tolerate his gutter level verbal style. And to look at this on a larger scale, very few social groups would tolerate him. To put this a bit plainer, I won't see him at the country club unless he's shining shoes, parking cars, or unloading the dumpster. Or...perhaps 'diving' the dumpster.
I've met a few guys like him and his butt-buds, and I fired most of them or arranged that they be fired. So now maybe those of you that didn't understand the logic of my original post will now have a clearer picture of why I did it. I simply could not understand, and still can't, how a person like Stick can be allowed to participate in this forum. That said, he was firmly supported by a segment of this forum, pretty much all of whom had their say in the small words that hint to me that they are on the same socio-economic plane as the mighty Stick. And my use of the word "plane" in that sentence does not mean that you guys are flying anywhere.
My, my, isn't some one just simply full of himself and his station in life.
I do not care how much money you have, nor how many folks are at the mercy of your indiscriminate firings, I am firmly assured that you do not have the means to get me into your hoyty-toyty "country club".
If the personality you have portrayed within this thread is an indication of the members of aforementioned "club", I am damned sure I am much happier out here in the boonies with the common folks.
May you have much luck in your subsequent search for a forum consisting of like minded gentry, with whom you shall have no difference of opinion. How ever boring that life might be!
I don't get it. This is a hunting and shooting forum, two things that, at their core symbolize freedom and liberty, yet the amount of people who show up here and chastise people for the things they say boggles my mind. This 603 guy, and Snyper is another i can think of off the top of my head. If they don't like it take a hike and stay gone

The realization that there were so many off-center dimwits on the forum was less than delightful, and quite honestly was a disappointment. I am truly amazed at the adoration, by a few, of Big Stick. It seems entirely unwarranted unless the profane revere him because he's the most profane. That seems to be an odd way to earn respect on a hunting/shooting/reloading forum. As to him being a wizard of shooting knowledge, that may be, but most of what I read from him doesn't support that. Sounds like he's just another small person that has little or no real life or real friends, but wants to be important somewhere. He's on this forum, with his acolytes, because other forums won't tolerate his gutter level verbal style. And to look at this on a larger scale, very few social groups would tolerate him. To put this a bit plainer, I won't see him at the country club unless he's shining shoes, parking cars, or unloading the dumpster. Or...perhaps 'diving' the dumpster.
I've met a few guys like him and his butt-buds, and I fired most of them or arranged that they be fired. So now maybe those of you that didn't understand the logic of my original post will now have a clearer picture of why I did it. I simply could not understand, and still can't, how a person like Stick can be allowed to participate in this forum. That said, he was firmly supported by a segment of this forum, pretty much all of whom had their say in the small words that hint to me that they are on the same socio-economic plane as the mighty Stick. And my use of the word "plane" in that sentence does not mean that you guys are flying anywhere.
I'm confused, am I being fired again.....Damn, oh schit! sorry about the "Damn" thing.
its a win-win if 603 goes away and does not come back.
If he could get Sherp, Rovering, Lillysdad, Pal, Sanscky, TAK & Barak to go with him, I wouldn't complain.
The fact that THAT many "online personalities" get under your skin should be your first clue that you might need to get a life. Speaking of which, it time to head to the iron pile....
I don't get it. This is a hunting and shooting forum, two things that, at their core symbolize freedom and liberty, yet the amount of people who show up here and chastise people for the things they say boggles my mind. This 603 guy, and Snyper is another i can think of off the top of my head. If they don't like it take a hike and stay gone
You shall bend to his will, it's all about tolerance brother "G", well on one side anyways.
Rattler, in defense of canazes9 ( and myself), having zillions of posts on this forum just might be akin to tenure in the California public school system. Just because a fellow has been here for a long time doesn't mean that he is necessarily more competent than the noobie.
I admit that I found this forum when I was looking for one that was a bit different, and this one certainly is. Lots of good info here on many subjects. It's just a shame that a few people, supposedly knowledgable people, can't offer up assistance in a friendly manner. It is possible that the profanity and insults hide a lack of true and relevant knowledge, or maybe some knowledge is there but not the depth of it that they want others to believe. As for me, I tend to get the good info, as I need it, from people that I know to be experts. And I can get the info clearly and without needless profanity. There is a direct connection (inverse) between level of education and the level of profanity used in normal conversation.
Hold on thar, Bubba-Louie!! I expect you're one of them azzwipes who think that just because someone wears a white coat their scheit don't stink... sorry, it just ain't so.
I have 2 phuqqin doctoral level degrees and a [bleep]' boatload of citations, excitations, and expectations from various learned societies. When I GO to said learned societies, I tend to keep my use of the F-word, the MF-word, the CS-word, and the BF-word off the podium and reserve same for the COCKtail hour... but when I'm in huntin' camp, I like to let fly with whatever verbal concatenations of profanity & obscenity I can. Just ask the boys from the Wyoming Fuzzy Windchimes Appreciation Society. And btw, there's a MESS of college degrees in THAT there camp.
So don't be climbin' up on yer high horse about whose coarse & foul language reflects negatively on their level of edjimication.
Just a friendly retort, amigo. Don't take it personal. Although yer behavior on this thread so far suggests you will.
Do yerself a favor. Pop a beer tab, get a blow job, and chillax. This forum's a lot more fun if you prepare yourself accordingly.
PS... if you want to discuss reloading, shooting, or any other topic in an intelligent manner, the Hunter's Campfire ain't the place to do it... migrate to the other sub-forums here at 24HCF, amigo.

I've never much cared for "country club" types. For that matter his theory that people who swear are under educated is pure horseschit. I know a few fellas who have phds, one of them has two doctorates, and [bleep] Nd it's many derivatives are part of their daily vernaculars

WTF do you want to know that hasn't been answered yet?
I'll be happy to help you out.
I've made over 15,000 posts on this forum and I'm a fuggin' expert on a multitude of subjects.
Allow me to gently correct you, Fish... you're a cocksuggin' [bleep]' expert. In a good way, of course.

Bless your heart for trying but "online personalities" don't bother me much. It's what these personalities say that irritates me...especially when they claim knowledge about chitt they have barely have a clue about...

My IQ isn't 603. Shamefully, I'll have to admit that it's hardly half that, or half of that. Some of you guys can just give up, because none of the slow kids among you have the fingers you'd need for the math.
Well, it's been fun, but I'm outa here for now....probably.
If you don't like our country club, you can head back to the Cuuntry Club of your choice.
Hold on thar, Bubba-Louie!! I have 2 phuqqin doctoral level degrees and a [bleep]' boatload of citations, excitations, and expectations from various learned societies.
Yer a pretty fancy smancy muther phugger ain't ya?
Never really actually had my IQ tested by anything yet, basically if there is an answer I know it kinda deal. Just born naturally super smart I guess.
Pretty sure my IQ would be WAY FUUCKIN' past 603, probably closer to 1000.....
Just sayin'.
Just back from town, and a quick ride through the local "Country Club" parking lot.
What a poxy bunch of sons of diseased whores they all looked to be. They saw "Big Red" and assumed that I was a landscaper, so I just spoke to the piche puto, hijo de la chingada in Spanglish.
I think that fixin that camera's gone to your heads, Sam. There's already one dipchit up on his high horse prancing around like Jack Pershing, don't you start a trend.
The only people that would call that place a "hike" would be a girl.
A girl not blessed with my genetics of course...

How the fuqq would you know, you ain't never even SEEN that side of the range. Climb your azz up to the Necklace lakes off of the trail to Upper Holland and get back with us, if you don't get lost, and die, that would really be a shame.

The fellas on the campfire may not be sophistical rhetoricians, inebriated with the exuberance of their own verbosity, but make up for it in spades by being extremely gifted with egotistical imaginations that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify themselves!

Why don't you hustle your azz right on over there and see? Park at Holland Lake.
Wait, you'll fight him, but you won't get into a ring with a ref and fight my scrawny ass if you're in town, even if I pay for the ref and the ring?????

This post alone has catapulted me to the absolute zenith of cranial euphoria.
You guys wouldn't believe how many things can be fixed by just taking it apart like you know what the fugg you are doing, then putting it back together.

Dismantle with confidence, nod sagely then advise the lady of the house that the implement is beyond repair and needs replacing.
Unless of course the thing actually starts working when reassembled, then it is advisable to act as if that was the expected outcome.

Have taken the week off as I have a nasty bout of flu, it has been hanging on for the better part of a month and has so far caused me to pop a rib, cough up blood and ascertain that both my arsehole and my lungs taste and smell the same when extruded through my nostrils.
The good news is that my wife has it too...misery likes company.
He's a fuqqin yankee kokksukker like you. I wonder how many night HALO exits he's made?
Stop crying like a bitch. It is not my fault your wife won't let you live here.
Killer pics dude!
Travis
I think the man's just being modest, but it could be something else. Sworn to secrecy for life to lowly civilians but amongst the SF Operator his legendary exploits live on. Kinda' like one of the dudes in this here vid.
All you mothafuqqas who went to Jumpmaster School know exactly what I'm talkin' about, but of course all of you goddam filthy stinkin' LEGS ain't got a clue.
We talking hopscotch only or do I add jumping rope in the general category?
That figures. Five minutes of jumping a rope would kill your lard-azz
WTF would I be jumping rope for? I was talking about my hopscotch jump experience combined with Flave's skipping rope and wallflower six pack minimum, 'I-guess-it's-the-seriously-drunken-fatty-over yonder-or-the-hand-for-me-tonight' type bone jumping tally.

How many jumps you got zipperhead?
Have you ever posted any pictures of you while serving in the military? Something like:
or
or are you completely FOS?
BTW, I still don't know why you threaten to fight Trav, but you won't get into a ring with a ref with my scrawny ass? What give there, super-soldier????
I'd like to announce a new business venture. I'll be forcing my wife and children to make paracord ball cupping gloves. Standard color is rainbow. Tactical models are black with an extra thumb that velcros out of the way when you aren't using it, because tactical has to have extra schidt that nobody needs or can figure out. The Montana Action Hero model is fingerless with an open back, Velcro closure, and a padded leather palm. Additions - palms lined with leather, latex, fur, feathers, or studs. R&D is proceeding on a leopard print color option. R&D also underway on paracord cock rings.
Absolutely not. Have you ever seen a Chuck Norris movie? Those are genuine leather!
You do give me an idea for a new model we'll call "The 'flave" -a two glove set, one with a sheep's wool palm, and the other covered in velcro to aid in catching the sheep to be cupped.
I'd like to name you as my Product Development Manager, let me know if you're interested.
You know those wrist things quarterbacks wear? We could make one with all of BS' favorite catch phrases printed on there so while the stalkers cup his balls they can wow him with their BS impersonations.

I'm in. How does the "FLAVE-A-RATOR, the "rugged, manly, male stimulation device
* also available in a "pleasure package" with a MAN sized bottle of flavasil, personal lubricant, for those special times with EWE
I imagine the guy actually has some valuable knowledge to share if he chose to write complete sentences and treat members with a little respect.
I got here in 2003 as Bart185 and he was a big part of the Campfire then. The things he's done with Remington rifles amazed me enough to do some of the things he did and I got results. His pics of his family,dead critters,and Alaska were amazing. Y'all only know what he lets you know now. Back then,he was different. I think that the advice that he gave the most was "Break Bones". He was the first guy I ever saw that could make the original Barnes X-Bullets shoot clover leaf groups.
I didn't jump into this thread for various reasons,but several have noted that members need to post pictures of themselves to at least let others know they do hunt and can kill. So here is mine. Most of the bulls I killed were before digital cameras came on the market and I don't have a scanner. Now I hunt mostly cows and let the younger set kill the big bulls.
I thought maybe some needed fresh meat to poke fun at.
Texas schools have failed you from all appearances. "Yall" is spelled with an apostrophe, as in Y'all. Unless you were referring to a yawl. There's a lot of ball cupping in sailboat circles if interested, or so I've been told.

Awesome! We'll need a schidt-ton though, so we'll have to wait until we have positive cash flow. Then we'll hire some mercs to enslave a Vietnam village, or some other place in SEA, to crank them out. Maybe TAK and his butt-ies would be up for it; can I get a second on TAK for Head of Security?

I don't think TAK is up to it & Vietnams unemployment isn't as chitdeep as other parts of the world...I'd think Sansucky & the Palistinians might be a better choice...

Yep, and we can include a hang tag that says "I stand with Isreal"
Don't worry about his nuts, did you get a gander at the musculature on that animal...if he looked funny at me I would be inclined to shoot him, in a cage or not.
A buddy of mine said he saw the gorilla in the Seattle Zoo pull a car tire apart when it became angry about something in the cage. He said the big male struck the 350 female with a lifting back hand sorta move and knocker her about twenty feet.

Gotta friend that works at Asheboro zoo. They had to dart the resident silver back to extract a tooth. ( Imagine a Silver back with a toothache. ) He said the aluminum darting pole was about 8 feet long and as big as his wrist in diameter. That silver back grabbed it with one hand and broke if off clean where it was stuck through the bars of his cage.
I had a Sunday to kill one day in Chicago (business trip). Went to the Lincoln Park zoo. Go into the gorilla building and they have a huge lexan window, probably at least 2" thick, where the visitors could stand on the other side of the glass from the apes.
Six feet from the glass is a tree stump, with the silverback sitting on it, looking bored. There's about a hundred kids pressed against the glass looking at him. He glances over, see all the kids, then looks away, acting disinterested.
He then suddenly launches himself at the glass, and 4-500 pounds of ape makes a huge boom as he hits the glass. Dozens of women and children scream and fall back. He calmly walks back to his tree stump, sits down - and smiles. Big bastard knew exactly what he was doing
Not as bad as the monkeys in the Pittsburgh PA Zoo. When I was growing up and went to the zoo. The monkeys would crap in their hand and throw it at the spectators.

I don't mind 'Stick but I usually have to reread posts to interpret what the heck he is talking about. I also have thick skin so if someone posts something negative I just ignore it. Beauty of the internet. I am envious of his location though. I had hoped to head that way but it looks like Hilton Head is where I am heading. Wrong direction dammit.
