Sorry to hear that. Well, buy a couple of raffle tickets --- you might get some good shit. Or some crap I am throwing in to stir things up.

Your woodsman?

For me, this conversation is, in and of itself, an excellent metaphor, both in form as well as in substance, for the difference between those on the Left and .....others. Thanks.

Honesty on the internet . . .
Well guys, I have to come clean. I post as a liberal American gunner, but I was actually born in Kenya.
News of my American birth was fabricated and planted 37 years ago in preparation for the day I would become a very important American novelist. Now that my sinful craftwork is complete and the rapture is upon us, phase two of my plan begins: WORLD DOMINATION!!!
And you thought you knew me.

I visit few more sites, but mostly for technical info and such, but my day can't be without checking this site first thing in the morning, few days during the day and last thing before I go to bed. Well, pretty much all the time
It is unfortunate that there are some people who find amusement in visiting the site, steering some shit and creating an upset - but than again, what doesn't destroy us - makes us stronger. I think that there is a nice group of people who can get engaged in nice conversation as well as have fun at each other account (sorry Amir, I couldn't resist earlier...) and still be friendly.
Yes, this site and people who make it, mean a lot to me. And yes, as we becoming more and more popular, more and more retards will find us, but we shall stay vigilant and rape their asses before we ban them!

There were some characters on DU and some complete tools.
Even after posting things like that I still get called things like a "Republican tool", an "NRA shill" a "gun loon" hell I even got accused of being a "self-hating Mexican" because I brought up how a huge number of gun owners in my neighborhood are minorities. Here are two of my favorite posts.

Don't you love how the post beneath mine is deleted? I forgot what the lady posted but I think it was something. I also loved the thinly veiled jab at me being a racist.

Very interesting topic here. Since I've been posting on this forum I've tried to be honest and open about whatever I've had to say. I've been honest about myself too. I've talked about my weight, my sexual orientation, my background, my work experience and even some health issues. I wonder how many on this forum are serious about being honest and open with members here. To show you I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is (so to speak) here's a photo of me. How many of you guys are willing to post your photos?

I can be honest but not open. I think we all have personas we adapt according to situations. I'm not apologizing for my thoughts or behaviors but I have enough sense to know what's appropriate in one setting is way off base in another.
Because this forum is public I have to put up some sort of firewalls to protect my other personas where Simmer down is really not appropriate to represent me in certain situations.
It may sound limp but my job puts me in an array of situations that are complicated enough without needing to explain something I did or said here.

I like to think that I'm the same in person as on a forum. I don't troll on purpose (most of the time.) I will poke people at times.
This is me:

- Me.

I've posted this before but I'll play. It ain't great but here is me, my son and a hella nice airgun. A few pics and videos of me at the last meeting are posted on the site somewhere, too.
The first pic is 2006. I'm a bit more wrinkled and my quads aren't as big anymore!

Sorry, whitey..... I had to remove your picture, as nice as it was. A little black bar over certain tidbits and we are ok.
