Wow, haven't seen many posts on here lately (except if you count the personal attacks). :uhoh:

Where is everyone? On vacation? Offshore? Over at laopencarry.org?

According to the mods of this site, personal attacks are basically ok as long as none of their specific rules are broken. This has led to many people not visiting here as much anymore apparently.

I wouldn't say no one. I for one am more than happy to learn as much as possible. I haven't been posting much due to the, well, perhaps trolls is the wrong word. But there are some folks who seem to want to do nothing but bicker with each other, making any thread they join a mess. There has been more than a few threads I have wanted to post in that I didn't, simply because it had devolved into an OT argument. I didn't even bother to post after that because it seemed a waste of time. I knew that either the thread would be gone shortly or what I said wouldn't make it through the noise. A shame, really.

But, I have been keeping an eye on things. I have noticed that the noise seems to come from a surprisingly few amount of people. No more than a dozen, from what I have seen. While this is promising in that it wouldn't take a lot of cleanup to get things settled down. However, it's a bit depressing that so few people can have such a widespread affect on a relatively large forum.

If I come up with a question specifically for you I certainly will do that. But please, if you see any question of mine anywhere else you have an answer for, please ignore any trolls and feel free to answer.

We'll I'll tell you why I stay away.

#1 smoking357

a) This guy has hijacked this thread and filled it with the purest form of trollism I've ever seen. His Godlike worship of every single word that Mark says is absolutely sickening. It's like Mark has his own little cheerleader or something.

#2 mark edward marchiafava

Mark has become completely hostile towards ANY and EVERYONE who even remotely opposes anything he believes or says to be true. His hypocritical responses to almost everything written are also sickening to see over and over again. Plus I'm a Marine, so that automatically puts me on the HATE list. I also am a disabled Veteran, so that too puts me on the HATE list for Mark because I'm a leech. Marks' absolute disgust for ANY and ALL forms of LE is equally disturbing.

He and smoking357 both and now it seems another 'Ghost of Mcveigh' are completely hostile towards anyone who doesn't worship at the same alter. Yet they remain drunk off the notion that they are some sort of patriots and are living 200 years ago. They take on the role playing of charters from that time and pretend that they must be doing something right b/c people hate them and on and on about how our founding fathers rebelled blah..blah.

Eitherway, my words above are also NOT my own entirely. There are many of us who don't even bother coming around anymore as you have noticed. Although above might not be their exact reason, it surely is the general consensus. Just take a llook at Mark and smoking's last 50 post. Then at the latest installment Mcviegh's post. You'll see exactly what the issue is. Many have tried to keep it together but obviously it's just not possible.



Hope this helps with your question.

Meanwhile I'll be at http://www.laopencarry.org/for LA specific related Open carry issues.

I'm with you Dustin.

Entirely too much static and constant bickering and downright hostility in our state's folder has turned me off to the point I rarely spend time here anymore.

When folks make a post about a car, horse, or even fuzzy slippers onmotorcycle boards I frequent, there's no static, and no bickering.It's nice.Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Mods? Are you reading this??

I first found this website the day my Mother and I completed our Concealed Carry class.

Our Concealed Carry Class! Did everyone just read that?

We both are proud to hold our CC Permits. My Dad passed away recently and I wanted tohelp her rekindle her interest in firearms and personal protection. This is why we now hold our Concealed CarryPermits.She wields a mean Glock 26 for a 65 year old by the way.

I OC and CC split about equally and depending on the situation, company, and location-all the while being very comfortable in my own skin.

I do my own thing, Don't tread on me and I won't tread on you. Nice way to live eh? Cramming with clenched fists views-good, bad, or otherwise is not a way to win friends and influence people.

-Guess I'm being held down by the Man with our Permits.

Out.

I followed Mark's story when it broke. I didn't know who he was, at the time. When I came here and saw his name, I thought is this the MEM? It's nice to be able to talk with a true civil rights leader who looked evil in the eye and beat it down.

I find your lack of respect for Mark's sacrifice and accomplishments to be disrespectful.

All OC'ers, especially LA. OC'ers, owe him a huge debt.

This blogger on lewrockwell.com gets at the essence of the matter, and he explains why you're not with us.

re: Police Sodomize Man with Taser Posted by David Kramer on July 24, 2009 10:41 PM If you listen to the tape, you realize that not only obviously is the man naked from the waist down (and handcuffed), but one of the police officers is female. Can you imagine the outcry if this was done to a woman with a male officer present?
Months ago, Will Grigg actually reported a story in which a woman prisoner in jail was stripped naked with male officers present in the cell.
I’ll say it until the day I die: Now you know why they don’t want us to have guns.
Oops, I forgot. They need their guns to protect us. “Mr. Robber/Mr. Rapist, could you please wait 20 minutes before you commit your crime until a police officer with his gun gets here to protect me from you? Thanks a bunch.”

There's to much static and bickering here lately. I have planty of other sites to read and post at.

I've been at Atheist Network http://www.atheistnetwork.com/index.phpwhere I've been posting for over 5 years now. Lots of thiings to read and post about there and the moderators don't put up with the juvenile stuff like we've seen here lately.

I've also been oave at the Security Info Watch forums http://forums.securityinfowatch.com/where I read and post with fellow secuirty professionals.

I've been reading and posting at Zombie Squad http://www.zombiehunters.org/forum/index.phpwhich is very well moderated. Plenty to do and see there.

I've been reading and posting in the Star Trek Fan forums such as Star Trek:phase 2, http://www.startreknewvoyages.com/forum/index.php?action=forumwhere there's lots to read. Everyone is closly following the progress on the new episodes with the anticipated release of Blood & Fire Part 2 coming in the next few weeks.

I'm a Ham Operator and I've been reading and posting over at QRZ http://forums.qrz.com/index.php?act=SF%3bf=7and Radio Reference http://forums.radioreference.com/.

I go to Hulu http://www.hulu.com/and watch my tv shows like Kings, Royale Pains anr Burn Notice.

Yes I've been posting over at Laopencarry and Bayou Shooter too.

Oh and I WORK. NIGHTS. So that's several hours of the day I'm not on here reading the crap which has been going on here lately. Let's not forget sleep. I need to rest every once in a while.

Put simply, I have much better things to do than sit here on Open Carry and see a few members make things miserable for everyone else.

Now, I'm going to check out some porn videos at Youporn http://www.youporn.com/.

Peace.

Out.
