Shotgun/Rifle Racks

imported post

Just for the record, all of my little encounters have turned out in a positive way.

And thoughtpolice, you sure assume a lot about me. I'm sure that if you were to know a little of my family history, you might understand the wierd relationship myself and the Lehi PD have.

Of course, I wont be getting into that, it's not the kind of stuff that should be aired on such a public venue.

You want me to "honor" your "requests" and yet you question when I give you an honest answer? Which is offensive to me. I have gone back and edited many of my posts in the past, but not because Charles was offended. I would say this to your face and I do write many of my posts to see if those on this board merely SAY one thing and do another, or have integrity and hold by it. Believe as you wish, like I say, I couldnt care less. Will you honor my request to take me at my word?

EDIT, this is pretty stupid, Im just gonna drop it and if I have something to say it will be ontopic. If you feel the need to PM me to resolve this, feel free.

Nope. I will not honor your request to just take you at your word. Not when the evidence seems to be strongly the other way. I don't do that when someone makes a point a law, I see no reason to do it here.

But I will do my best to avoid making accusations against you.

I will ask you again, politely, to change your tactics so that your future posts don't need to be edited. AND to go edit your past posts so that anyone looking for such fodder at least has to go to the google archives rather than pulling such things directly from here.

There is no point in deliberately provoking people, and even if there is, anyone who knows anything about psychologocy can certainly find better ways to do so than with the language and tactics you've been using and provoking others to use as well.

What YOU type on this board reflects on gun owners every bit as much as what THX or Protected or SgtJensen or others might do walking around their neighborhood OCing.

No. I think I will keep my civil requests to you very public. You are certainly not the least bit bashful about being rude, boorish, vulgar, profane, and otherwise offensive in full public view on this forumn, or in making numerous off topic posts when it suites you.

So I think there is no good reason to go running for the cover of PM when someone makes a civil, polite request to honor and respect the basic rules of the forum regarding personal attacks, and the use of profanity/vulgarity.

I've simply avoided posting on several threads because they so quickly degrade into insult matches between you and others. And with rare exception, YOU are present in most all of such matches. But I've realized that silence is essentially assent, so from now on I will try to make at least one post reminding us all that this is a publicly accessible forum and our words here reflect on OC and gun owners.
