What I learned today

[EE_]

Yep, first gun show! Good learning experience and good advertising.


Unfortunatley, I dont have employee's, I have minions and the minion benefit package does NOT include commission, however it does cover free holsters for life

Should I run you off a 100 Glock mag releases when I get back?

Oh, congrats!

Soon! These, I feel, are going to be a regular thing and as we slowly build it up, I will absolutley do some of the mag releases. There IS a deman, believe me!

MAGNES, I could send you something like this via PM, but I really don't see the point.

I like you, I think you are a very valuable asset to this forum. And while I don't follow all the details of the forum back and forth drama, I still see enough of it.

I would like to say that Kos is not the enemy. I've met her, she has told me about mayhem, I'm not going to betray her confidence but it's nothing to worry about. Seriously.

We have to pick our battles in life, and I don't see this one as one worthy of fighting. Absolute worse case scenario mayhem is a high level CIA operative, and Kos gives him all the juicy details of what goes on here. But big whoop this forum is PUBLIC and ANYONE can read ANYTHING ANY OF US TYPE. So that's why I don't see what the big deal is.


You have done very good work in the past sniffing out trolls, you have a knack for it that is uncanny. But it has turned from troll hunting into witch hunting, and I think (other than a few of the people who have joined in the last few months) this forum is pretty clear of outright trolls at this point this full on assault just drives people away. I'd venture to say that at least 1/4 of the people who came here initially from GIM have left, I'm glad some of them are gone, but sad about others.

I say lets let it mellow out around here, let the waters settle and if in 6 months some outright trolls (like joe king or antonio) become obvious I will gladly back you up and purge them.

I have said all of this and more to Magnes in multiple PM's. I wash my hands of it all. I don't believe K-os is an agent, and I don't believe the "Cali gang" is anything more than a group of internet posters who enjoy chatting with each other.

Mayhem is real, Joe King and others are real, but I think our forum is pretty clean of agents right now, other than the quiet ones.

Also, based on Magnes's requirememts for a personal attack, I suppose I should have been temp-banned a number of times for my blatant attacks on Book, while he was here and after his ban.

I am not a part of the witch hunt.

That was not an awesome post. It was a dishonorable one. I'm disappointed you thought that was an awesome post. Imo, the worst kind of personal attack is slander and telling lies about another person. There is no honor in that, there is no integrity, all that is shown is that person's true colors. SHTF hasn't happened even yet, and those types of folks would sell their mothers for a can of beans. They have no dignity.

What you call an "awesome post", I call a damn disgrace.

I don't care what you think Solid. All Magnes did was burn Hugginator with his own words, and remind everyong that K-os admittedly knows and has met with Mayhem.

Where is the disgrace?

Sometimes border collies can be so driven and task oriented that they can't stand to be without a job. If there are no cattle out, the dog might just chase them through the barb wire fence so he can put them back and feel like he has done a good job. Then he will expect to be praised for his good work, when all he has really done is ruin a fence and possibly injure some livestock.

Or sometimes, some people are just batshit fucking crazy and have to constantly be pursued by some hidden enemy with some some shifting, nefarious plot thats out to destroy THEM at all cost, despite how insignificant they actualy are in the grand scheme of things.....

I learned that no matter how long I go without visiting the board, when I come back there's always at least one thread that starts out great, but quickly has me saying, "Are you F***ing kidding me?"

[SLV^GLD]

This board does grow tiresome but for some strange reason I keep coming back.

On topic: I journal every night and there are a few things that always make the journal. One of which is "What I learned to today:". Also, "Where I succeeded:" , "I am fill in the blank with something I know or want to believe to be true about myself", "The truth is fill in the blank" and "The Spirit is telling me fill in the blank after a few minutes of meditation and a clear message emerges".

this thread needs a 6 pack of beer.

or maybe a case.

After having my laptop that is less than 2 years old that I absolutely babied just get a cracked screen and virtually killed it

I learned that any electronic device over 400 buxx get the extended warranty because all high end devices are manufactured to virtually self destruct after a certain period of time so companies are guaranteed repeat sales by hook or by crook makes no difference profit is everything quality be dammed.

Get a warranty and fight tooth and nail to make them honor it when their crap product dies

That what I learned today.....everything is a race to the bottom .....while they sell you on the illusion it is a race to the top.
