Not all Sir, not all.... a number of Colorado Sheriffs just set an example of not rolling over, and they are not alone. Look harder.

One does not have to act like a filth mouthed, ignint, foultempered asswipe, in order to take a stand. Both of the men below took stands without filth or vitrol (though I would guess behind the scenes, in the tavern late at night, behind a couple stout ales, that might change).

So the banner for the Bear Pit mentions religious content only. Should we expect political posts (including personal politics) to receive the same scrutiny as well? Does the banner need to include "refrain from religious and political posts"?

I love the political shit tho. Hashing out ideas against other members here was really helpful to me.

Don't be offended but the Bear Pit is gonna be more boring now. I guess I'll just focus on my WTF...

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions.

Look, all you guys have a place where you work, or earn a living, your office.
This is Frank's office. This is Frank's livelihood. This is how Frank makes his living and provides for his family.
If you come to my office and start a bunch of shit, I'm showing you to the door. If you get too belligerent, I'm calling the cops and having you forcefully removed.
Just like that shit stain that threw that firebomb (no pun intended) in the Cathedral Burning thread on Monday. He should have been immediately escorted to the door. IMO.
If we fuck up and cause one sponsor to not sign up for advertising, or quit advertising here, because they don't like the content of the posts here, we've taken money out of Franks pocket and away from his family. Frank sounded pretty pissed on the first page of this thread. If I had a bunch of retards taking money out of my pocket, I'd be pissed too.
I think I'm stating the obvious, but nobody else is saying it.

 

[THEIS]

The content here is like soft Christian rock compared to the way we talk at my shop...

Hi,

And it is like a drunken sailor compared to my shop and Government entities that I visit....NONE of that matters though

Owner of the site gave his directions. They will either be followed or not......

Sincerely,
Theis

Behave with integrity. How's that for clarity?

Most of the ones causing issue should have never been allowed here in the first place. There are two here that are paid to stir the pot, looking for/at profile reactions from a small section,...

Examples?

 

[Ravenworks]

So Lowlight, can I still keep my custom title? It's kind of grown on me and don't know what to change it to if I have to change it, but I will if need be.

There is the option of conversion therapy, I doubt it would have the desired effect.

 

[Deleted member 10043]

Shut down the Pit and Maggie's and the professional image will improve instantly. I get it. It would take a blind and deaf man not to see the direction SH LLC is going. It is going professional to the next level. The Pit and Maggie no longer fit not that there is anything wrong with that.

Sad but true.

 

[fdkay]

What is so hard to understand.
There is no problem with civil discourse, no matter the topic (with few exceptions).
It is the select few that are flaming assholes that do nothing but start flame wars with personal attacks and fomenting anarchy.

This. Instead of entire threads getting nuked, offending posts themselves can just be zapped with surgical precision and the offending participants get locked out or banned. Entire threads filled with information and really meaningful discourse have been taken out all because some asshat strolled in and defecated right on it.

The Pit and Maggie's makes this place a true community, and I hope to see them expanded, not closed down.

 

[Nik H]

I think closing the Pit and Maggies would be a mistake. I have no doubt that there are plenty of SH members that basically reside in the Pit and offer no meaningful content to the professional side of the site.

There are those of us that do both and I have to say that the Pit is a large part of why I come here. As much as I love to learn about shooting and talk about shooting, there are not many places where we can discuss "current events" in a more or less rational way. For all of the hoopla, most topics in the Pit do not devolve into Monday's spectacle. I think the way it was handled on Monday was good. Get rid of the problem and lock the thread. Maybe even remove it entirely to prevent t nosey nellies from finding rants from fools on the site and using it against Frank at a later time.

Just my 2 cents

Before doing something radical like that, password protect the Pit and Maggie's. Don't get rid of them. I belong to another, more family friendly gun board. It has the same goal as this one, to educate and help people. It has a section where more freedom is allowed, but it's for members only and password protected. No one from the outside even knows it exists.

Shutting down discourse in any venue, is a quick way to get nothing but boot licking lackeys,... This house was built on discourse an if you guys think you have seen discourse to old days level, you are so wrong,...

Yeah this is nothing compared to the hellfire that's been handed down before. This is panty ruffling - it used to be panty shredding.

 

[SSG69]

Whatever happened to that guy with the handle NOBODY? He was always in trouble for something. His style was kinda like armyjerry. If I remember correctly he was a bad ass from Alaska.

Larry is alive and well calling out window lickers on other forums

 

[uffduh]

Is he the guy that rattle cans all his rifles?

 

[SSG69]

That’s great to hear, I always got a kick out of him. He would break it off in your ass if you crossed him, then get banned, then get back on, then banned. Didn’t hold much back

 

[armorpl8chikn]

I think he goes by Busheler on a site somewhere but I can't remember where and when. It's been years, and that means I'm older and dumber.

 

[SSG69]

Back in the dial up days.

 

[armorpl8chikn]

Um.....close.
Now stop making me feel even older.

LMAO

I tangled with him once on here. He actually has a wealth of information once you can translate Larryspeak

 

[Lowlight]

 

[vh20]

He does, but he only dropped it in "HINTs". I really never saw him help anyone, he just enjoyed taunting other folks who didn't have his experience or knowledge.

 

[SSG69]

And those pics he’d share. I was jealous of the fish and game ones.

 

[armorpl8chikn]

Oh shit...I hope that's not me. That'd break my virtual assbone.

 

[abn31c]

Patty, is that you?

 

[SSG69]

Probably what happened to NOBODY

 

[Nik H]

He is quite helpful once you get to know him. That takes a lot though....your skin has to be pretty thick

 

[armorpl8chikn]

He is the one that did the rifle break in video, hilarious.

 

[vh20]

I guess so. I never had any contact with any of his versions that I recall. I just seem to remember him going out of his way to ridicule someone when it would have been a lot quicker to just answer their question

 

[Lowlight]

We got too big for Larry (Nobody)

A lot of us liked him a lot and didn't mind his style and manners, but he made it hard to run the site. He went on posting sprees and insulted so many we'd have 25 reports on him in the first hour of people who he mocked.

He is pretty typical of Alaska, to be honest, lots of dinosaurs up there with a ton of hunters who like to take them down. Some are harder fellas than others, but it's a common theme up there.


I would have let Larry stay but the backlash was too much

 

[MtnCreek]

He'd sprinkle enough info to learn from if you could conect the dots, but he wasn't holding any hands.

 

[Deleted member 10043]

Unfortunately, it is sort like getting a tattoo only to lose an important job because of it.

 

[abn31c]

Yep, spent 4 years up there in early 80's on the bering fishin crab, you get tough quick. I then joined the army, I gained weght in basic and airborne school. Lol

 

[Deleted member 10043]

I thought you were just another Leg. My apologies.

 

[vh20]

He is the one that did the rifle break in video, hilarious.

He's got some pretty entertaining videos on YT for sure. He had his son tossing a Leupold around like a ball in one, and another where he sawed off the muzzle of a rifle with a hacksaw and didn't re-crown it as I recall. He definitely likes to poke fingers in the eyes of convention.

[RTH1800]

I remember Larry and his antics. I never saw he had any real knowledge. Just a smart … mouth.

Bancat simply keeps getting better and better!

We need an "I love Bancat" thread!

Cheers,

[MtnCreek]

Bancat looks like he's been smoking some catnip... I prefer Bancat that goes landing gear up before takeoff.

 

[Maser]

I wonder if Larry has as many sock accounts here as he does at 24 Hour Campfire.

 

[RTH1800]

If he were here you would know it in 15 min.

 

[cornhusker86]

Is this the guy?

 

[Jefe's Dope]

At least he can shoot. I think I just might like Larry.
