I'm guessing the "Girls with guns" thread got outta hand... since I don't see it
I always miss the good stuff! Darnit!
Wonder who got the special name plate? Damn it I didn't even get to do some photoshoppin (adding me in with all those girls calling them my ex's).
nameplate test...
wasn't me
Lol so what was the pic that sent the thread over the edge?
I forget who posted it, but there was a Link to a racy picture that might have crossed his line.
I have it in my mental database and cannot upload it to you without my Cerebral cortex interface cable.
I lost it when we moved. [LOL]
Ahh crap I just burned mine out upgrading my socket to USB 3.0
Yes, My trust was betrayed. Since I put the thread back up, I have been fighting for you guys down in the mod section, Thinking that you would do the right thing with a little class and dignity.
Thinking maybe it would be self policing, That if one of you saw a questionable photo, You would send a PM to the poster to take it down.
Well, I was willing to see if my trust was respected or not. So, I figured I give it an hour or so to see if that would happen.
Unfortunately, I fell asleep, and didn't check on it until about 4 A.M.
By that time it was locked. THAT, didn't surprise me. What surprised me was the fact that two of you brilliant yahoos quoted the picture.
The original had been taken down. Which is the only thing saving his ass right now. But, come on, What possessed you two to quote it? Just send the PM. Had you done that and he and taken it down, the thread might still be up.
I'm done with it, if fact I am so pissed about it right now, If I see a picture of a female on this board ANYWHERE It will be taken down and the poster will get a one week time out.. I do not care if it is a picture of your wife or girlfriend. It's not going to happen.
Maybe eventually I'll lift that. For now though, DO NOT TEST ME
I would take the time right now to apologize to Roger, Foxtrot, and the rest of the moderators on the board, I'm very sorry.
And a special thanks to the Three guys that made me look bad. You know who you are. Consider yourselves very, VERY lucky.
Trust, a very hard thing to earn back.
and on that note, I will see you guys in May
Nope, out of the kindness of my heart, (Which I may later regret, just like the thread.) No hammers were slung, nor shall I mention names. The three will just go along as if nothing ever happened. (ETA), I doubt they would own up to it.
I know I caused the last big brewha but I'm calling not it on this one!
I quoted a link to a pic so I hope I wasn't the reason[Dunno]. I do think it was a pic that was pretty bad (I think it was black&white)? Anyway, I'm sorry Marlin if I was one of the ones who disappointed you.
How bad was it? I just hope no one here ever watches a Rated R movie.
I guess I'm kind of lost on WTF was so bad about the chicks and guns thread to begin with.. did I miss some boobs? I saw the link w/ the little nipple showing.. and as my gf mentioned 'more gets shown by breastfeeding moms at the mall than that chick showed'...
So i'm just kind of lost on this whole offended and trust issue.. did someones wife catch them beating the bishop to the thread early on? If so.. you have more issues in your marriage than a thread on the internet..
So.. I'm just kind of lost.. the whole trust thing.. (this is the internet) and the whole why there was a warning in the first place.. and why our discussions/topics are now being directed..
Honestly, if anyone had a wife/gf who was offended by any of those pictures, there are MUCH MUCH deeper issues w/ that girl than a thread on the internet.. cause most of those chicks.. were fake, plastic and far from F**kable. [Weight]
And I hate to say it..but if any of the guys were offended (mods included) you should probably throw your internet access card away.. I'll take you on a tour and show you the dark places of the internet.. You'll be crying to come back here. For some of you old school geeks.. this is just a question.. do you recall (not finishing the url on purpose) goats**.**..

Besides, if I remember, Yours was not as completly classless as the one in question..
Believe me, for a majority of people that claim the rest of the world lacks common sense, whatever posessed him to think that was alright is beyond me.

Why are kids on this site?
I hope they don't take pictures of guns to school with the zero tolerance policies in place.
This is considered more or less a family forum even if it is gun related and not a porn site ! I'm sure there's a lot of us (including me) that are not easily offended BUT Marlin asked us to police ourselves with that thread and apparently some folks failed.Quote:

Look, I've "been there, Done that" and I was a little disgusted with the fact that somebody thought that was okay for the parameters I set.

You should have asked me Marlin. I would have told you that the thread would have gotten out of hand. It is practically a rule on the internet. It is like asking people to riot, but please don't set anything on fire or tip over any cars.
Hey, I am of the "really OLD school" but I sure had absolutely no complaints about the subject thread.[Tooth]Quote:

One jack ass ruins it for everyone. If I would have been able to remove that freaking picture I would have for sure. Plus I would like to mention that a good roshambo is in order for that jack wagon too. Nice job idiots... girl with gun in mouth.... I was counting the seconds until Marlin blew up the thread.[Bang] you suckQuote:

Coming from a forum that is supposed to represent responsible gun owners/ownership, I can absolutely understand why the mods would have frowned upon that photo. A full nudy would have been more appropriate in my opinion than the photo that was put up. Not to mention it completely ruined the mood and direction, that thread was supposed to go in.
Yes, Strurving, I will consult you at every turn from now on..
[LOL]
WTH.....Could someone please PM me that image or a link so I know what is considered over the top. I never got a chance to see it. Must of been gawd awful to start such controversy.

The thread was supposed to be guy-cebtric and a little sophomoric but, perverse and just ugly. WTF guys we gotta do better than that.
No offense Marlin, but you should've known better brother... Human pysche will always push the envelope. It's like giving a kid a bag of his favorite candy and saying, "You can only eat one... but no one will be around to check on you for a while." You know the whole bag will be gone in five minutes... whether that kid is 5 years old or 50. HAHA.
You going to call out the envelope pushers so we can harass them? hehe.
Back to my corner.... [Beer]
