READING INTO POSTS, WHAT ISN'T THERE!

"There was a time in our history when gentlemen could exchange ideas on difficult subjects, even heatedly so, then slap the table and walk off friends. Nothing saying we can't do that here. "

They fought a lot of duels back in those days also.

Normally over personal insults, not the topics themselves, truth be told. Knowing you might have to duel over your words probably kept a civil tongue in some heads. Perhaps it needs to be reintrodcued into our culture ... pistols at 200 paces would be my preference.  

Why not 15 paces to make certain the matter is resolved?

Cause for some reason I can hit the rams all day with my .44, its the chickens and turkeys that get me.

12 Gages with buckshot should be the weapon.

But at 15 paces with pistols, you can find out if the man really believes in what he says.

Geez you guys! Dueling pistols? 
I'm pretty sure I don't get offended that easily.

[teamnelson]

Dee, at 15 paces being fast and accurate makes up for being right.

billy, buckshot at 15 paces ... everyody would be REAL polite.

Old Fart, how about empty beer cans at 6 feet? 

[billy_56081]

TN I'm just trying to be fair, even the more mature fellers who's sight isn't as sharp and hand isn't as steady would have a chance then. If'n I remember correctly the shotgun was the weapon that made even the toughest pistoleros shake in their boots.

Fast and accurate are second to nerve, and regardless whom has the most of the latter, the matter is resolved.

[billy_56081]

I'll go along with the 15 paces, and shoot em in the back of the head at 10. Wasn't it Bill Jordan who said "there are no second place winners"?

Won't argue the value of nerve.

Ahhhh dukkiller, you are already gun shy, and guilty of that awful word, and act of ASSUMPTION. You have already fallen victim of the fear that someone will "read into my posts", that YOU are the culprit, when my point was only that you had voluntarily accepted the saddle, without so much as pitching a little, when I wished you luck with your most frustrating task.
I will exit the forum, and let you have your experiment, unfettered by me.

Dee,
So I don't read anything wrong into this, what did you mean by the last statement in this post?

Regards,

[Dee]

I meant that I would cause him no problems with any type of argument with others on my behalf why?

[pastorp]

Exit the forum. To me sounded like you were leaving at least the thread, but you kept stiring the pot so I was just curious what the statement ment to you.  

Regards,

[Dee]

Well you know what they say about opinions.  Good day.

[pastorp]

Dee, it's not a opinion. It's the meaning of what you said in the english language. "Exit the forum" can only mean one thing. You did not do what you said you would do. Just be fair, and expect of yourself what you expect of others......

These show all the states of confusion I am in
after reading this thread? Interesting though, Quite interesting!

[Cabin4]

I can't see all these posts but I bet it's interesting.

Its too long a story. Trust me....

Wow 80 responses and still counting. I am amazed that this still is getting traction. I'm gonna go watch Ted Nugent kill something. You boys enjoy. Steve

OK i read the part about 15 paces and pistols and shotguns . Had a funny thought . How would we do it online ? Only way would be a postal shoot ! 

[bearmgc]

Did someone say Postal Shoot? I love Postal shoots! How about 50yds open sights with 30-30s, 5 shots , 3x5 target> OBOY!
