My apoligies to any white owners not involved in this flap. My comments were not aimed at UC, Flatland, or Bjgolfnut or anyone else that owns a white. Its the ones who feel the need to attack any statements made however truthful they are that they don't want posted. There are two in particular that comes to mind, I guess combined with several more who just like to stir the pot when ever they get the chance, and it spoiled my enjoyment of the forum.
I know Randy can handle and take care of himself and no one is any better at the game of debate. My decision to pretty much leave HA has been a while coming and involves a lot more than just the ML'er forum. They have lost quite a few members lately and I'm afraid I'm just one of the latest to go for the same reasons. I was only visiting a couple forums anymore and now those hold little appeal.
Seems to me the so-called "dirty White boys" you are referring to would more appropriately be narrowed to two people. One is a guy that has shown aberrent behavior from his first posts at the CVA forums - and after becoming the overly proud and enthusiast owner of a White rifle seems to think he is a company representative. The other is also a new White owner but seems to simply have a dislike of Randy. Disliking Randy isn't that uncommon for folks on these forums but the man seems to hold his own.
And then we have a couple of folks that think it's their duty to flood the forums they visit with posts of little worth, get involved or even take the lead in the bickering that always occurs, and actually have little of substance to add on any subject. They appoint themselves to whatever imaginary position might delight their whimsy, then convince themselves of the worthiness of that bogus position. They are RIGHTEOUS!!
And some just have NO sense of humor.
I'm a White owner, a "dirty White boy" if you will, but not to the point of insanity (I hope).
You put it into words much better than I UC, I agree and perhaps I'm being hard on Don although he seldom deletes anything so I couldn't help but expect the deletion had multiple motivations. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.
Angst which I took the liberty of misspelling simply means extreme anxiety and the term was used as White angst or White extreme anxiety over any unflattering posts. Seems to display itself with the above mentioned posters a bit and reminds me of a Mel Brooks movie.
No Flatland I'm neither coping with hurt feelings or referring to you in my post, I wish others could debate without turning to name calling and third grade behavior to make their points. Once again I painted with too broad of a brush and offended posters I had no intention of offending including you who I have a good deal of respect for, and enjoy talking with.
Sorry I come across so blunt sometimes, I tend to say what others often think but keep to themselves.Could be the reason nobody ever accuses me of being tactful :? Guess I just wore out with the hate PM's and snide and sometimes outright attacks that were hammering some posters that have contributed heavily to the ML'ing forums. I know they don't need defending but it made me angry none the less.
