[wareagle69]

I am not going to digress into a pissing match with you. I have learned enough about you to not take most of what you say seriuosly, you have posted a few interesting tips and points and given me things to ponder but i stand by my assesment of your value to me.

that is all...

RIM,
Congrats on the scenario...
But, a community and not a military operation ? what the **** is that ?
You got more done ? lollll
That's extremely subjective yes ?

You got different things done...and i am sorry to burst your bubbles here, but this is AMERICA...In a SHTF scenario, most people and their mothers will have a gun...you flee, you hide, you watch for predators...this is what we did, except that we ARE military minds, and we applied technics suited for the situation based on our experiences...if you wanted to create a little community, i have addresses to really nice sites where people will be glad to hug you and start planting sprouts with you in a little fort they have made to protect themselves from the world's eyes.

I stand corected, you are right you guys got a lot done, just different things.

[ryaninmichigan]

it's posts like that is the reason why you are an idiot you think that you are the most dangerous man in the woods well i call bullsh** i have read enough of your posts to realize that you are a wanna be and unrealistic and generally full of it, you can post what ever you like but you have already revealed yourself you limited yourself by building a permanent structure and a fence around it my god welcome to four funerals what an idiot.

I never said I was the most dangerous man in the woods. I said "the most dangerous THING in the woods is me and my rifle." This is not such and uncommon statement. Please hit the Ignore button now..

This was only a fantasy scenario and it's already turning ugly! War-Eagle's on the warpath, RiM's circling the wagons, VW's psyco-analyzing the Wolf-pack, yet, over the course of all these threads has made several errors that I couldn't help but notice. VW, take off the rosey shades, we're already at each other's throats and it wasn't even real! I rest my case. (And BTW Dr VW., Flu is spelled "Flu", not "flew". Gotcha!)

At each others throats? The average family fights harder then this. There’s going to be a few disagreements and debates. No one said there wouldn’t be. But will you let those disagreements tear you apart that’s what counts. How will you react to those disagreements because there going to happen. Look at the ones in the forum, the forum still stands doesn’t it?

The Forum still stands, but then we're not living with each other either. We can shut our pc's off and go watch tv if we don't like what's being said. The saying "Familiarity breeds contempt" is as true as it's counterpart: "Absence makes the heart grow fonder. RiM was the guy who came up with the scenario, he's a member of the Wolf-Pack. The answer that his family wasn.t isn't really a good one as neither is WE's wife or any other family member related to one of us. They would have been welcomed in and learned from us. Yet we have dis-trust shown to one of our own.

[owl_girl]

I don’t think we’d tear each other apart. There would be some big fights but it would heal. Other people have survived as groups why couldn’t we? You act as if you think its unlikely for people to come together and be able to survive a group structure all because of the arguments that would arise. Do you think that in order for a group to work it would have to be absent of arguments and disagreements? That’s not realistic, there is no such group

RiM wasn’t treated as a wolf pack member in the scenario because in the scenario he was a stranger. However he was gaining trust and we were starting to have more regular and friendly contact with him. But most of the group did not want to move to the lake.

exactly. see the #1 post. I am done with this

[Sarge47]

Well "Wolf-Pack", this is the end of the trail for me. Owl-Girl, what I'm referring to is human nature, the same nature that I feel is now being turned on me. VW, I don't know if you're who you say you are, or what you claim to be, but things aren't adding up. I've come to believe that you're a "control freak" who keeps changing things in the thread when they're not going you're way. I think you haven't all the education you claim, never been in the military, to the extent you claim, if at all. And I think you might even be one of the teen-agers you accused RiM of sounding like. I detest bullies, even intellegent ones. I joined this site to learn more about Survival, not reams & reams of "pysco-babble". This "Senile", smothering, father-figure is taking the "bus" outta here. Bye!

[eddiec]

Alright, come on, guys... Let's not get with all the fighting and the gnashing of the teeth. We all need to get along if the pack is going to survive(?). Let's get over this, and go back to what we're all good at. Whatever that is, I don't know. But let's get back to it, GOSH DARNNIT! Sorry, I didn't mean to yell. Let's all take a deep breath, count backwards from 10, and get back into the meaningful discussions that led me to put this forum into my favorites section...

[FVR]

They're big boys and will get over it.

Sooner or later.

[owl_girl]

Volwest your analogy of Sarge was incorrect. There’s been people in my life that I feel smothered by but Sarge isn’t one of them.

[owl_girl]

I know you didn’t claim to be correct, I didn’t say you did so why is that an issue? I was simply letting you know you were incorrect and you saying you didn’t claim to be correct sounds a little passive aggressive to me.
However I do think that if you your self felt smothered by Sage you should have said you did and not have said people do because I don’t.

And I do value what you bring to the forum. I certainly didn’t say you weren’t bringing anything to the forum.

[nell67]

volwest,

I value your outlook,or opion on subjects on the forum ,becuase you give me another way to look at what I thought I already knew.

[wareagle69]

like i stated earlier if what volwest post offends you. may be you need to look a little closer, isn't the saying truth hurts. although too analytical for my tastes sometimes i think that VW brings an important element to this forum, the psychological aspect of survival is the fundamental aspect of survival in my opinion.

[owl_girl]

Wareagle he said people feel smothered by Sarge and I was saying I don’t feel that way. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable statement.

Volwest I don’t expect everything you says to be correct, and I’m going to tell you when I don’t think your correct. It’s not a matter of being emotional.
