Anybody Else Been Banned by Carl the Impailer?

I agree with you.  I'm happy with what I have and feel no ill-wishes to anyone that uses that site (including the people that run it).  I feel that TC's are semi traditional.  They have adjustable sights which are most likely ridiculed by the exclusive traditionalists.  To each their own.  I wasn't aware of the huge "fight" between modern vs traditionalists.  It is very similar to archery: compound vs traditional.  Then there are fights between recurves vs longbows!

I like this site.  There doesn't seem to be too many wars.  Just sharing of skills, guns (modern, semi-trad, and trad), and experiences.

I for one truly enjoy TMML, and if you obey the rules he has set up you should have no problem there. Yes Carl is highly oppionnated, its his board, he has that right. But there is also an awful lot of good information on his board and would trully miss it if it weren't there.

Well put Rich.   Carl is no more opinionated or strict at his home (site) than Graybeard is here on GBO - and they both go way off the deep end sometimes.   Just part of trying to run a place descent for all concerned.   Neither man requires members to kiss their arse - just follow the rules they have established for "their" board and you will be welcome.   As a traditionalist when it comes to BP, I really do enjoy The Hide - lots of very experienced info over broad topics posted there - way more so than on this forum.    Have yet to see any flames from the boss there that were out of line, and in fact, have only seen "differences" a few times - and they paled in comparison to the flame wars this site has experienced on several of its forums fanned by Graybeard.   If you can get with the program here, you can also get along over there as well by simply adjusting your attitude.   Any "site" is what you make it for yourself - and only you can control that.    

Think black - think traditional... Ladobe

The war they had here that split the board was "obscene"!,,I did'nt join till it was over and then there was a few "digs" from tyme to tyme..

I'm a bit more tollerant than some,,cause I've won a few over in the past,,

I saw a post at another site awhile back that really hit home;

"If it's legal,,and theres a buck($) in it, somebody will improve it."" Just think of what spear hunters might have said millenia ago,,

I disagree, I think this carl is probably borderline paranoid/schitzo. He has these episodes where he singles out one person for an opinion , attacks them and anyone who stands up for them. I posted there for a short time until one day he went after the lady that works at Dixon's for telling him that WD-40 was not a good "traditional" product to clean your ml with...duh???...way to go Mr traditional...lately he went after this guy for reporting how good a new batch of goex was...accused him of having "an anti elephant agenda"...what the hell is that?

I was a member of that place a while back.  I liked the place, though I mostly lurked.   Still like to read stuff there.   The only problem was after I forgot/lost my password one time I made the aweful mistake of emailing (whoever there) at the Hide to get my password so I could make posts again.  

Judging by the attitude of whoever it was that answered me back you'd a thought I was requesting a testicle or something.  I'm not used to folks getting surly for a simple request, so I said to heck with it.  There'r other easier going places on the net.

I left there, due to the attitude. then again, I have been booted from graybeards under a couple other names also! Not from flaming, but from asking why certain things were done the way they were.

If the spear hunters worked to get a special season carved out just for spears, and some guy started throwing an atlatl claiming it's just a better spear, (you still throw from the arm) I would think that those spear throwers might think unkind thoughts.  

They might even paint bad pictures on some rocks in the area.

So that's what those pictures are about!  Been trying to figure them out for years.
