Let's Not Split - Here is Why
« on: March 25, 2004, 04:28:29 AM »
I really have a worry about a split - If the wrong guy gets elected this year or next - we will NOT want to be SPLIT we all will have a lot to lose.  I live in the west, I take gun ownership for granted, but I know I am losing ground even here in IDAHO.....

I have gained a lot more respect for rollingb just from the discussion that was carried on here.  If he and other traditionalists will allow us Lyman conical stuffers or TC Hawkin 777 -sabot users - coexist on this forum we can all win and in the long run we ALL need to win.  The flip side of this has to occur also us Modern Day traditionalist can not have it both ways, actually we can have it both ways, what we can not do is attempt to downgrade a person choosing something different than us.  Personally I read the the traditionalists posts and I can and have learned from them and I would hate to see that change.

rollingb's attempt to take the sting out of string last night was great, he is a traditionalist, I am not going to change that nor would I try.  I  CAN learn from him and if the situation were right maybe I could provide a point to him.  Bickering is divisive and disruptive and will in the long run do more harm than good.

At some we may force KING or GREYBEARD to get involved - start editing/pulling posts or even pull some priviliges - It has happened, Randy has had to do it several times  ---- do we need that?

We have one thing in common - we are all shooters and we all love to shoot - Let's stick together
Keep shooting muzzleloaders - they are a blast....

Sabotloader,.... I have to "grudgingly"... ('cause I don't want to lose my REPUTATION as a "crusty ol' reprobate")... "agree",... thet yore post was indeed,.... "EXCELLENT"!!  :D

Nowadays, I have to constantly remind myself (especialy on these chat-forums) thet all tho fellas like me'n Joe,... have been shoot'n, and hunt'n with "period correct" traditional muzzleloaders since back in the early 70's,.... thet new'er/younger fellas are gonna try some modern "things" in ther (newly aquired) traditional-style rifleguns.

...... and ther "reason" for do'n so,.... "AIN'T to deliberately piss us off",... but,... probly more likely because of all the "hype" be'n put out by the various manufactures today (in ther "mad dash" for "our" money)!!
I'm sure the other "hard-core" traditionalists on this forum, will agree with me on this!!

Take care,... and don't stray (too far) from the "traditional path" in this fun-filled and innerest'n "pursuit"!!!!  :D
"Modern inline" is an old mountain-man phrase,... fer "butt-ugly club"!!
