I am rarely amazed at how low some people will sink, but reading that Mr. Volk got threatened with violence over a forum banning surprised even me. rolleyes

So will post counts be reset in this new utopia? If so, I'd like to start placing bets on how soon fistful reaches 1,000. grin

No kidding. Physical violence over being banned? Sounds like someone needs to turn off the computer and go outside, immediately. Preferrably to school, come to think of it. 'coz that fella needs some serious remedial education, threatening someone as heavily armed as Oleg!

well shoot. Since my work blocked THR this is all I have to enjoy! I don't post a lot but I am on here every day that I am at work. I'm sure going to miss it. sad

Relax, Mike, it's not going away, it's just changing to control the influx of morons.

You've made it through the first "moron barrier" as evidenced by the friend note in your profile.

I lurk, read and learn. I'd hate to miss out on where this is going, mostly because I take what I learn here and apply it to other parts of my online and offline life.

Ill be very curious to see the new moron filter in action. I admin for a yahoo list and have only had to smack one puppy across the nose with a rolled up newspaper once. Most of my visits are as a guest, I generally read without logging in.

Will that change?&or have all the details been worked out yet?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think with this software you have to be an approved member of the group to see any boards that are members only.

In other words, you won't be able to simply pop in and read the messages.

I guess my log-in time will start moving up. I really should post more but I always seem to get into a thread after someone else has made my point for me. <sigh>

Joined a while back. Been banned from THR/TFL , so I have pretty much stopped posting on any forum. However, I did lurk here all the time. Almost every visit to the net was not complete until I stopped by APS. Some damn good debates, topics and people are on this board. I hate to see it go. I have no hopes of being "friended" to the next board, so, everyone take care and may god be with you. From a lurker, Thank you for some very good, informative reading, and million laughs.

Boomhauer · « **Reply #112 on:** April 06, 2007, 03:53:51 AM »

Hey, don't leave me behind!

That's just wrong for someone to threaten violence over being banned for their own behavior.

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #113 on:** April 06, 2007, 05:18:22 AM »

You've been nominated, which means you're probably a shoe-in. Check back later. He'll get to you.

K Frame · « **Reply #114 on:** April 06, 2007, 05:28:50 AM »

Ok, Avenger,

I've deleted your account, moved all of your posts to the recycle bin, and salted the earth.

That's what you wanted, right?

Remington788 · « **Reply #115 on:** April 06, 2007, 09:49:39 AM »

I don't have internet at home so my boss will be happy if I don't make it since I check this site several times a day when at work. I don't post much but I do like to lurk.

It is amazing though that everywhere in the world a few idiots always manage to ruin things for everybody else.

Ex-MA Hole · « **Reply #116 on:** April 06, 2007, 10:00:58 AM »

So do you want to be added?

I'm so confused right now....

K Frame · « **Reply #117 on:** April 06, 2007, 10:12:26 AM »

I want him to get in trouble with his boss, so I've added him...

Remington788 · « **Reply #118 on:** April 06, 2007, 10:44:08 AM »

Thanks. Since it is a holiday, he's not here so I don't have to worry about him walking into my office. grin

vernal45 · « **Reply #119 on:** April 06, 2007, 11:34:15 AM »

Whoever "friended" me, thank you very much.

Ex-MA Hole · « **Reply #120 on:** April 06, 2007, 02:03:08 PM »

Remington-

You're Boss called and said to get back to work.

I've lurked here a while, just joined last Oct. Very few posts but I like reading what is presented here. Will someone have pity and make a new friend?

Cromlech · « **Reply #123 on:** April 08, 2007, 06:40:58 AM »

1. I can't believe that I missed this topic until today! shocked

2. It is a bit of a shame that it came to this, but if that is what it takes, so be it.

3. I seem to have the 'friend' tag, so thank you very much, to the relevant mod/admin. angel

...

Can't blame ya for making the change.. I only belong to 3 forums. Two are because I have just recently bought my first new handguns. This forum has been a great read/education for me, and I have not posted a lot, mainly because I'm reading and learning far more than posting answers.

I hope I can be considered a friend of the "small" community you hope to change to, and can be adopted by friendly ear.

My best to ya all,

LS
