We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

This very unattractive person who quotes the following:
Just called me a "Goon" and "Idiot" because I stood up for an ideal, or acted to improve the lot of others, or strike out against injustice.
Ginger, you're a hypocrite!

Darn, you posted this before me. I was thinking the same thing. What about "Women are prohibited, unless permitted by law". "Asians are prohibited..."
Great point!!

Two posts in a row sorry but she is the reason I reopend my account with facebook. What a loony toon! She acts like we are deranged criminals leaving a wake of screaming people ducking for cover. Get a grip lady. for course I havent said this on FB. Trying to stay respectfull dispite her failure to do so
Not only that, but she's claiming to speak for all the parents of the victims of Tech saying that none of them want guns on the campus there. I need to search back through my email archives for the VCDL email about Holly Adams, who's daughter (I can't remember her name) was murdered by the madman

I remember when that came out John. That was one of the most moving things I had or have seen regarding the tragedy.
Simple yet eloquent - straight to the gut. The antis should hide their faces in shame.
I tried posting a link to that article after Grape listed it here, however I think RTD or someone else (The G Nut Biscuit perhaps?) took offense to me saying the claim that none of the parents from Tech victims would support guns on campus is 'bulls**t' and my comment vanished.

I'm finishing up the video from the read in. There weren't any great speeches, no blood in the streets, no screaming patrons...just a group of people.
This is a few seconds from the middle. I kinda like the look Grapeshot is getting.:lol:

Now thats how you make a statement! Fade to black and end it there instead of the shot of Paul. Maby a text on the black that says "Guns save lives" Peter you should stop posting these things you are bring out the fire in me to start editing again! And I will go broke buying cameras and software! I wish I still had the video I made for the cancer socitiey that played in the bobcats arena during a Checkers game. The charlotte checkers is a ECHL hockey team that play out of the arena.

Re: Ginger Walters.
Just sent this little ditty to the RTD via their on-line feedback function.
"After reading the recent article concerning the illegal regulation of firearms by the Richmond Public Library, I respectfully request that you remove the on-line comments from Ginger Walters and/or ban her from posting on your site. Of all the commentors, she was absolutely abusive in her language, calling other posters "goons" and "idiots". No other poster to the thread stooped to this low level of ad hominem attacks. I trust the appropriate steps will be taken against this overly-emotional person."

Using such tactics are very much frowned upon here - under virtually no circumstances is physical force against officers a good idea. Street justice benefits no one.
We use the law as a means to right the wrongs. Meanwhile we obey the law or change it through the legislature or courts.

Guessing you posted that for the antis. You do realize I said all public servants (im a public servant) and dont acctually advocate violence of any kind.
I removed the picture
Actually generally directed at anyone that might think such was justified. No one intended target.

I think Ms Walters has nothing better to do than to stir the pot and be a professional one at that. It seems that she comments on just about everything with the intention of getting a rise out of someone.
