OpEd: Are we losing it? ...Or, what are we losing?

Going full "clip".

I'm laughing my ass off that the NY Dick Head has to make "Special Arrangements" to 2A when many of us just open the fucking window or step out to the deck to Pew.
Greg, ingest a phallus. You pathetic fuck.
 
Somebody needs to read Nietzsche and go on the fuckin' patch.

The rights a man arrogates to himself are related to the duties he imposes on himself, to the tasks to which he feels equal. The great majority of men have no right to existence, but are a misfortune to higher men.

OK, so unless someone has something on topic to add, I guess we can put this topic to rest.

Well, Mr. Wonderful hows it going? I'm going to the range in a few. It's windy, Raining an the red clay will be bountiful. Not a COC day but todays weather stops me from being distracted by only fair weather shooters, people with walkers an canes, an 9 yo olds with 9mm's. Hope your having a nice day.

It was 80° here yesterday, bright and sunny. I was sporting HK, 37 rounds of 9MM JHP, and 4 blades about my person. Today is about 30° cooler, somewhat dismal, but 2A makes every day warmer, drier, and less humid.

It'd be such a darned shame if we didn't have a special place to share our deep thoughts about 2A, wouldn't it?
 
I thought I was talking to serious people about a serious subject. I could have said anything and somebody would have had a ration of slop to toss, no matter what I said. Not just would have..., did.

I stand educated. Thank you for the exercise. You can relax and enjoy whatever it is you think you've accomplished by trashing this thread. Among those accomplishments, the ground is now poisoned against the growth of many other meaningful discussions on the subject. At least I tried.

There will be no further input in 2A matters from me.

Be proud.

Good as I can not stand a waffler. I have more respect for a libtrad who stands their ground that one who checks the wind before/after they post or thinks time on this board means anything, in reality. Glad I was with guys in the 60's an 70's who had your back no matter what. Then again the psych evals weeded out that other type, from the get go. BTW shooting went great, killed some paper, steel, an a few photos, life is good. Going again tomorrow am, it's a muscle memory thing, an one can never have to much sub data.

You trashed your own thread by being yourself, someone that most of us didn't know very well until now.
A few of us knew one day it would all come out, he's outed his self many time in the early days but was saved by the bell. I recall a few threads from long ago where he went both ways in the same thread over 3 times each.

I was never trying to control anything, I was adding my opinion to the mix in the form of advice, and explanation of my view. For some less open minds, this was intolerable.

For this I've been branded most kinds of brigand and quisling that any X number of competing viewpoints can imagine.

I said early on that I would need to consider whether my values and The 'Hide's values were still similar.

How would you frame an answer to that question?

I could get really bitter about this but I simply choose not to. My more extreme critics made a different choice.

We will all have to live with those choices.

I got an education in extreme criticism and personal vilification, when all I was really looking for was a calm and reasoning debate.

And now I'm done with such viewpoints. It's just not a productive area of discussion for me here anymore.

Yes it is. However him doing a 180* in another thread all the while still badgering people while this one is still going is so rich it's almost unbelievable, but it's all there, for every one to read.
One of these personalities is not like the others , now it's time to play our game , it's time to play our game .
This thread has been brought to you by the letter "A" (for asshole ) and the number 3 Ah Ah Ah , three flip flops een one thread Ah Ah Ah .

Bullshit, I have noticed you have tried to rule the hide from my very first day here. Over the years you have tried to push yourself to the forefront many times, when new guys were just simply asking a question. Many of those left here promptly there after, to join other LR sites. The time when jhuskey an K. Musack (sp) had issues, over "Could there be a civi Sniper" you were the one who were stroking the fire. Then when a few of us expounded unless you officially hold the title you were not you went off the deep end because we did not agree with you.

I don't know what you guys think you've been accomplishing here; and by now, I'd have to be crazy to care.

Personally, I'm actually kinda glad you're been so committed to this.

They say you can tell a lot about a person by taking a good look at those who choose to be his enemies.

You all do just fine when it comes to that.

As for the rest who are reading this; make up your own minds.

If you don't care to step into the line of fire, full marks for discretion, but maybe a bit short on the valor.

Conscience counts, too...; I've been speaking mine all along, even when it's not that popular. Your turn.

And as for you Mods, it's so good to see how effective you are at doing the right thing...

So much for trying to teach a pig how to sing...

...And then there's those who are getting their rocks off reading all of this, and you can just guess have many of these there are; such wonderful folks we have here on The 'Hide.

Funny, but I really do hate soap operas, too. Whoda thought...

These are just a few quick observations off the top of my head...

Great site, The 'Hide, eh?

I'll be here all week, folks... and on, and on, and on...

And you claim moral high ground how ?
 
And this is how you lay your claim to high moral ground. Calling childish names and posting sick comedy vids?

Such intelligent discourse. Obviously my work is cut out when it come to teaching pigs to sing. Obviously, I am dealing directly with the greatest of mental giants.

Awesome...

By now, you're really well beyond taking any of you in any way seriously.

So I won't.

TTFN

My Fucking Gawd. He's gotta have the "Illness". :cautious: There's no other logical explanation. 7 pages, 300 and sumth'n responses (some very matter of factly:whistle:), and Himself still fails to Get It. WTF? I can be a dick all day every day and literally run off more good people for years n years n years. But ya call me on my shit and I'm gonna scream "Moderator, moderator, ohhhhh Moderator" and try and deflect by pointing the finger at US? Just like a sore peter, ya can't beat him. Greganteous, you're one special MoFo. ;)
 
I just gotta say, you guys are easier to string along than guppy in a feed pond. You've been makin' my day for the whole damned week.

Leaving you all on ignore just takes all the damned fun out of it.

So long dumbass.

If that is your best story, it's as weak as they come. I/we realize your grasping at straws, an will never admit you were/are wrong, that in an of it's self says a lot about you! I pray you have never lead men into battle, because if you had been leading me, one of us would have never came back.

Phew! I was hoping you were just pulling our chains and trolling us this whole time. LOL. You sure got us good with this thread Greg. Damn good job man. You fooled us all into this back and forth about your sanity when in fact, you were just Trolling us. Well played man. Well played. You definitely got the last laugh here bud. Now we can all slap eachother on the ass and laugh with you, not at you right?

Are you hackles still raised about that thread when I asked about Morale patches? Remember that, it got you all worked up and shit. Like I was some kind of idiot for asking about where guys buy morale patches.....I'm sure you were just trolling me then too when you got all weird and shitty about that and got your buddy to join in on it. Remember? About the degenerative generalizations on my generation? But hell man, I let it slide, didn't bother me none, but I thought I might as well remind you. Ya know, since your on the moral high ground and all...... carry on digging your hole it's getting far too deep and I would think stopping and admitting to the idiocy of your posts to alot of us would go a long way and likely most of us would accept it too and chalk your shit up to having a bad week or something. I honestly hope you don't let any of this bother you anymore because it seems you've gone off the deep end saying one thing then saying another.....your not making any sense.
