You da man!:D Watch yourself though, he used to be a sergent in the French Marine Commandos!:rolleyes: Hooray for Hollywood
which is in...L.A.! BTW, I do a "drop-dead" French accent, as well as Australian, English, Irish, Scot, German, and Japanese! Remember the Cone-heads from SNL? (flat monotone) "We're from France."
WTF is going onh here? I for one enjoy what EVERYONE has to say here, Remy has made a ton of good posts, Sam Reeves has made some good posts ( i have known of Remy here longer thats why) I don't wish or want either to leave, I may not agree with some views, you will never agree with everyones views or your just a follower. Sam Reeves has had some good things to say, he also states his beliefs which is a good thing and his right to do here on an open forum. I know I have stated my beliefs here numerous times. But I for one will not bash SR anyomre, if I did in the past then Sam Reeves I for one am sorry, really. I will honestly say I have not read every post that has been posted, so I cannot say Sam is racist, he says he is a biggot but to each his own and it makes me wonder if he truely is then what made him this way, but those are his personal experiences and beliefs. I do not take anything on here personal, no one should because they do not really know them.
Ibelieve in free speech, hence I feel SR and Remy should and can be allowed to post how they feel or give advice they feel pertains to a topic or one they start. I have started topics (as others have) on some really dumb or just plain normal stuff.
So I for one will cut them a break, SR has never given me a reason to dislike him, Remy knows how I feel about him, I really like the guy. To me he is insightful and if he's a Doc or not matter not to me, I have learned from him as I have learned from everyone here, even the new people to this forum. I don't care if they introduce themselves or not, it is there choice.
Beo,
I kinda enjoy everyone's posts. Each to his own, and if you believe something, defend it. It may be way out in La La Land but so what ? I am now an official minority in the eyes of the US government. I am classified as an Appalachian-American. This minority stuff is getting kinda ridiculous to me. I am proud of my Scotch-Irish-Swedish heritage and Redneck sure doesn't have anything to do with bigot. I have never had a problem blending in with anyone and many years working DC, NYC and other cities, never actually worked on the West Coast, I have friends and enemies of all types. I have a personal hangup over Vietnamese but that's my problem so everyone has something. If you want to cut someone down make it personal on what they post. I may not be the most intelligent on here but not the dumbest either. I am happy with me that's all that counts, and I don't plan on hunting anyone down in a dark alley. I DO enjoy a good heated debate on anything and have strong personal opinions of my own and I express them. I have a few old holes in my hide and don't like to talk about how I got them. We have good people and liars on here and I guess it doesn't take long to tell the difference. I DO know how I survived and have some knowledge I will share, some things I won't. I may come across rude, crude and socially unacceptable in your circles but I am not an expert on anything so I am wrong(seldom) on some things. Keep it up, i enjoy both sides of any debate and may get in but you won't be attacked on what you are, only on what you post.
Thank-You, The Gods are always with me. Hopeak....:)Quote:

Were you working here? Doing what? Doing "psychotherepy" on us without our permission? Were you doing it "Pro-Bono? ( I know I didn't pay you.) If you are what you say you are then you should also realize that when you provoke people on a forum like this in a negative manner you're going to get a negative response. Shoot, I've got a lot more respect for Sam Reeves as he changed that line under his name although he made it quite clear that he didn't want to do it; yet he never got into a "hissy fit" & left. I suppose you're going to take down all of your posts again. Let's see, you've got HOW MANY friends on here & you're upset that a few of us don't think you're "all that"? These are the actions of a "professional"? I'm not "flaming" on ya dude, just trying to understand you. So what if some of us don't believe you? Why do you make it such a big deal? People here get upset at me from time to time and I just let it roll off my back, why can't you? Inquiring minds want to know!::confused: Tell you what, I'll make you a deal; you stay on out of respect for the friends that you've already made here & I'll lay off as long as you lay off me. In American lingo, we'll sheath our Bowies, shake hands, and start fresh. You don't have to call me "friend", or "comrad", & I'm sure that Christmas dinner at your place for me is out of the question.:D However there are many here that enjoy your posts & you leaving will disappoint them; I think that would be a loss. I'll even take your bio at "face-value", how that? (can't believe I'm saying all this, someone wash my mouth out with soap after I'm done here, please!:o) And if you don't want to accept my offer then I'll say "Bon Chance", & let you go your way. Fair enough?:confused: (p.s.: I'll even try to learn how to spell "Sargent" correctly, o.k.?)

That's okay. Everything seems to be offensive to you so I no longer consider it much of an issue or event when you get offended.Quote:

Read this thread Sam,your little saying has been used on the forum before,and it offended more than just me.

Sam - I wasn't blaming you for anything. I was just letting you know. What you do with any information is your choice. By the way Sam, did you read the fine print at the bottom of the picture you posted?
If you delete your post with the poster on it,I'll delete my reply to it,and save the mods a little bit of work.
Thanks for the correction; however I got the feeling that V(Remy)W is now in full retreat & won't be coming back, at least not for awhile. As for my "screen name", I know that it won't be taken as a "hater label" so I won't be changing it.:rolleyes:Quote:

A picture is worth a thousand words...
SR, thank you for changing the line, This is The Great USA, that my father fought for, I fought for, and my son died fighting for, and you have a right to express your beliefs in the proper forums, but this is not one of them. They're are kids here and we encourage more youngsters to come to these forums to learn about wilderness survival. We also have some great contributors here that are minorities, and don't need to put up with bigots when it has nothing to do with these forums. So Thank you again for changing that. I know you don't care what anyone else feels or thinks.
remy- whats up bro, i have backed you from the begining but ya can't just up and run when the wind turns on ya, if i have learned anything valuable from my horses they just turn their backs to it and wait it out, but your making it hard on me dude to trust ya and take you seriuosly when you bolt like this.
sarge- you also need to stand down and i'm not just talking about remy/vw when i see some one new come on here asking a question about a topic already posted you just lay into them about intros and how old and topic already covered, that ain't right man, maybe they are new to computers and not sure how to search, our job as caretakers of the bush and of wilderness survival.net is to welcome them here and to help educate them, isee where you got your mo****r sarge cuz you hit the like a drill instructor whcih i personally respond to(can't help it is an automatic response) but others do not respond to it.
just trying to help keep the peace here, i know it is more fun when we have a heated disscusion on any topic here all ya have to do is whacth the frantic and furious posts but lets try to keep it light eh folks
when the sh** does hit the fan i personally want as many people well prepared to live(means less that have to come my way) or if watching tv some night we see some hkier and his brood safe return and he credtits what he learned to a website let that be us.
now group hug (except for me been skinning all my wifes fish so i smell) but the rest of ya big hug.
I agree WE, Remy, bro just don't leave man. I like our conversations, they are enilghtening in a way to this forum, you make sense and make me think more than some on here do. A strong man does not give up, he backs up-regroups and drives on with his life/mission. There are posts on here I don't like, but I don't just switch off, I either respond or most of the time don't respond.
Please, Remy stay.
Beo,
hey why is mo****r bleepred out?
Sheesh! Wareagle I thought something about you smelled fishy!:D Beo, holster your piece, I ain't no "Johnny Butterbutt!":D
My offer to Remy was sincere, but if you guys want me to lighten up I've thought it over & this is what I'm going to do. I will assume that the "Newby's" that keep asking the "redudnant" questions are simply ignorant in either computer knowledge or where all the info might be so I'll simply ask them politley to click onto the links that I'll post as well. That way they've got no reason not to. If they fail to do that for whatever reason then I'll just ignore them. One area of concern is this: People, even young people, come here to learn. Sometimes they're polite & considerate & sometimes they're rude & obnoxious; & sometimes they're a troll. If they come on here being disrespectful then I'm also going to teach them that that is not acceptable. Hope you all can understand that. :cool:
again wtf m o n i k e r how is that a bad word?
heck ya don't have to be young to be rude and obnoxious look at some of our senior members
Sarge, your fine bro (and the knife is on the way I promise!) don't change a thing.
WE your a potty mouth... lol... who knows why.
Personally I don't want anyone to change, thats what makes this forum what it is, I like this forum, Sarge, Sam Reeves, WE, me, Trax, Nell, Crash, Rick, Rebel, Gray Wolf, Coot, Hopeak, FVR, even Proud American (who's been gone for a while... hmmm) and my bro Remy, plus all the others is what makes this forum this forum.
NO ONE CHANGE A THING, WE NEED EVERYONE TO BE THEMSELVES. POST YOUR THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS, thats what makes this site stand out over all the others. If the political correct police start to run this forum and everyone changes then I for one will leave, I want to read and chat with real people being themselves and saying what they think and feel, not someone who's changed to make everyone happy.
Beo,
I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK !!! Thanks:DQuote:

Remy - I have a question. If you would prefer to answer via PM please do. Something you said in a post quite a while back, and then something similar in this thread (they've been deleted, so I can't give a clearer referral) made me believe that one of the reasons you were here was that you were treating the forum members as some sort of social experiment. Some of your posts evoked responses that were, by some standards, harsh. You seemed to encourage that sort of behavior at times. So, my question is....were we some sort of project of yours, a study of group dynamics or internet forum interactions? Was it a game?
It really doesn't matter what he thinks or uses any info for. Anyone that tries to "experiment" with a group online no less isn't playing with a full deck. Anyone can post the crap he does. Most like me probably post like they talk but can do a 360 anytime they wish. I don't personally know him, my only interaction with him was here. We agreed to disagree and that's it. For all we know he is a regular on "kiddie chat" or whatever they call it. He don't have a pair "swinging" if he runs like a kid that lost his lunch money. Probably has an inferiority complex he wishes to justify and he did. I don't rate his insight any higher than anyone else, just words without a basis that mean nothing. A poor attempt to impress. Well I ain't. Answer anyone you want, can't hide in the closet forever. That's my personal analysis only:rolleyes:Quote:

However if you "Google" The title: "French Marine Commandos" & visit one of the sites you'll see those guys are nobody to mess with.:eek: Go figure.
Also, Ridge Wolf, please follow the rules about posting links to other "Survival Forums". Thank you.:cool:
i wish we had as much response to threads like the survival scenerio that pgv posted the other day (52) as we do on nonsense like this thread (156) .
When you think about it, it's all about survival of some sort. Apparently some didn't survive.
The difference is that this is the "General Chat Forum", about anything that doesn't go in any of the Survival Forums. PGV's was posted on the "General Survival Forum".Quote:

Ok Sarge.. I deleted the post.. but there are other posts on here that advertise... But then, I have decided to leave the forum too. I am an observer and what I have observed here while a member is that this forum has developed into a clique. Whether or not I am a member of that clique I am not a cliqueish type of person. I also think that you excercise (or attempt to) a totalitarian presence on this forum and 'lord over' other people on this forum, whether they are newbies or not, and even if you do not know them. I think that is wrong to do. We do not live in a totalitarian society in the United States. I will not be under your thumb nor anybody elses. I think your very avatar exudes that dictatorship attitude that you have exhibited so often that it may be a hinderance to the progression of this forum. I think that your status as a moderator is a mistake.Quote:

I'll monitor new posts on here through my RSS feed but will not post here again. I will join Remy he is one of those that has an open mind although I have disagreed with him from time to time.

I really wish you would explain yourself here Ridge,as I just don't see Sarge in the same manner that you do..
Remy, one last time I'll ask you to stay. Stay remy.
Seems... ahhh he11 never mind. Now Remy is leaving and Ridge Wolf is following him...
We got any leaders around here, or a bunch a followers.
Honestly folks. It's pretty simple. If you aren't happy here then find some place you are. I hate to see anyone leave but that's your right. Exercise it if you wish.
All this fuss about avatars and elitists and whatever is just a bunch of hooey. 1). An avatar is a picture. As long is the pic doesn't violate forum rules...who cares? 2). The posts ARE just words. I haven't seen a moderator slashing and banner on a wholesale basis. Some members have been banned for just cause but I think we've been pretty lenient to date.

He told me to take a bucket of water and pretend my finger was me. Put my finger in the bucket then take it out. See any difference in the water? That's my take on anything outside of family. You are gone. The water is back to normal, and nobody can tell you've been there and the memory of you follows, life goes on. Somehow I don't picture most folks on here as followers. My only claim to fame is I never kissed anyone's rear in my life. If I had puckered up maybe I would be rich & famous instead of being happy on this hill.;)
Yeah, I take the followers thing back, you are right Coot, most on here are not followers. Most are comfortable in the wilds and so on. My bad and like what you said.
Rick... well said.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...every time I go away for a few days...the $hit hits the fan in this place, what the heck people? I've been backing up through the pages of this thread trying to figure out who said what and ducked where and when the pie-tossing started and ..to he!! with it, the Trax will abide.
