My problem isnt necessarily with you, it with how some of you treat new people that come to this site. Some people come here that are clueless and before they get a chance to learn something you have people giving them a hard time simply because they are clueless. Then instead of them sticking it out they leave and stay clueless in some cases.
If your thinking that when I joined I was given a hard time then you would be wrong. I lurked long enough to know what was and wasnt allowed on the site, Ive just seen you and some other give new guys a hard and thought it wrong. I really think you need to give new guys a chance get over their misconceptions about wilderness survival and prepping. I know some of you get tired of the same old question and you think people need to use the search function more, but you need to realize that this may be somebody first internet forum and dont know the ins and out of a site like this. I had been using the internet since 99 and this was first time that I ventured onto an internet forum and there are thing you need to learn about site like this.
Now as far has me being dis-respectful of the rules of the forum, Ive only broken the rule twice that Im aware of. Once was when Crash asked a question that in my opinion could only be answered by breaking the forum rules.

In my opinion the topic was fine as long as somebody did actually try and answer the question. When my post got deleted I decided that this wasnt the type of site that I wanted to contribute a lot too. I then decided finish what you started and went about deleting the rest of my post. Was it petty and childish yeah but we all have our bad days.
The only other time that I have broken the forum rules was when I temporally hijacked a thread.

If you view this as being dis-respectful then you really dont need to venture of this site.
I dont have a problem with the forum rules I have issue with those that try and use those rules to keep out people they feel are undesirable off the site. As far has how you view me I dont really care, truth be told I dont really care for your online persona either, so guess were even.
Oh and when it come to your statement about banning me the minute I step out line, I dont really care. I dont post enough on this site or any other for a ban to effect me one way or the other.
