Recusing myself!

[Beo]

I will never sensatise (probably spelt wrong) anything I say on here. That does not mean I gonna be rude or mean or nasty... well most of the time anyway.
I agree with Remy. It does not take a whole village to raise a child it takes responsible parents and they should know what their child is doing and is into.

[BraggSurvivor]

Although my son is a good dive buddy, I wouldn't trust him with even a sharp pencil when it comes to survival. Was never his bag, not the slightest interest in what I was trying to accomplish here at my place. As he is maturing and our relationship is mending, he is now just starting to want to help me around here.

Might had something to do with my comment one day: "I'll remember how much you put into this place when it comes time to update my will."

He is a good kid, just from a different mold I guess.

[Beo]

My son's the same way Bragg, but eventually he wanted to know why I love trekking the way I do, 1750s. Now I do go modern too don't get me wrong but he learned if he can do the "old school" way then when we go modern its so a little easier. Personally I prefer 1750s style but hey thats me. As far supplies if TSHTF, got none but what we have here on a daily basis, will it work, don't know but I'll do the best I can and WILL survive with family that I am very sure of.

Little at a time Beo, just a little at a time make a difference.

Now wait a minute! Weren't you the mold?

How about this idea: The new members ask thier questions, we answer them in our usual ways... then, at the first post from the new member that is deemed unnecessary or rude or disrespectful etc. etc. (and this should go for the old members too) one of the moderators PM the new member and ask him his reasoning behind the post, meanwhile restricting posting priviledges in the interim to an answer of the PM. If the PM answer is not acceptable (or not answered) then the whole affair becomes the moderators bailiwicke to delete the profile... That is the moderators judgement and job anyway. That may avoid internet wars and flaming, unneeded flagrant posts adding insult to injury. Hence, we the people don't have to put up with it, ending endless frustration and wasted time. What do ya'll think of that idea?

Just tryin' to be helpful.

Also, moderators need to rule with an 'egalitarian' approach like blind justice rules the courts.. (or used to).

[Sarge47]

How about this idea, Ridge Wolf. New members ask us their questions, if we need more info to answer then we ask back. If they refuse we don't answer their questions. If they get rude we put them on our ignore list. Seems simple. Yet I can tell you right now that the way the Survivalist mentality is their will always be anger expressed from time-to time, as well as making fun of someone. What about the "nut-bowls" that come on here with their stupid ideas of what they're wanting to do in the bush? I'm not going to ban sombody for acting like an Anus, I'd have to get rid of just about everyone here, myself included.

I must admit, since I've put Remy on the ignore list I thought I wouldn't have to read anymore of his stuff; however someone PM'd me awhile ago telling me that Remy was mentioning that I "didn't believe him, go figure." Well, since he's making this personal, let's see:

Changed his user name 3 times, his occupation was originally listed as being a pshycologist, yet he treated RiM as well as others on here badly in a very unproffessional manner and wound up being kept off for a while. At the same time if you Googled his name you found out that he was both teaching "Urban Survival" & was involved in some kind of Tech band &...oh yes...had been a Sargent in the French Marine Commandos. He later claimed to be a Wood Worker, & now it's something else again. When his errors in his French usage as well as other evidence proving many of his claims false was pointed out in his previous posts he quickly got rid of them. He also can't seem to survive without being a member here. Go figure. You're right, Remy, There isn't any reason for me NOT to believe you.(Sarcasm)

[Rick]

Actually.....I've PM'd more than one concerning their post as I'm sure several can attest to. Some are just cautions some warnings and some....well, may they RIP. Dang I do so love that ban button in the morning. It smells like victory!

Hey You! Get your mitts off my ban button!! Who's rug rat is this? Huh? Can't you people control your heathins?! Messin' with the Minister of Science that's what he's doin'. I'll turn you into a frog or something. He is kinda cute ain't he? Kootchie kootchie koo.

[Ridge Wolf]

Sarge, I only suggested. Whatever works, I'm making a resolution too. I'm not going to get involved in the politics of this forum. Most of the time I just read the information anyway... I am finding that a person can only say so much about outdoor survival.. the next step is redundancy or another subject matter entirely.

I'll thank you all in advance for the outdoor survival information that is put on here. I do appreciate that.

[BraggSurvivor]

Great sound remy! Went over to CDBABY and picked up one of your CD's.

Now you know who I am.

Well all that ruined my day. I just got a great deal on French army rifles, like new and only dropped once. Don't guess I can advertise those either. I really wanted one of their tanks but the reverse gear was worn out. Oh well guess I will just sell them cheap.

[Sam Reeves]

Well...you talk about it like i care what you think.
I was just pointing out the paradoxical nature of our little world...you know, i introduce myself, and you spend the next year telling me i am not that person. Down to my nationality (ballsy).

It's an Inquisition....

First you have people here tell you that your suggestion won't work even though you have done them for twenty years. Then you have a half dozen people explain to you how ignorant and wrong you are all the while displaying ten spelling errors per post. When I suggest one of then download a spellchecker I was warned for being abusive and the thread was closed. Then a few days latter I was accused of being another member on this forum. It was even suggested that I was "talking to my self". A few of the new guys are treated like they are in boot camp and getting grilled a drill sergeant anytime they mention going camping. Now they are on a witch hunt and responding to blogs that was likely a spoof anyway.

A lot of uptight folks around here.

Hell, you got it good buddy. Should have seen the emails I have received in the last few months.

Bragg must go on......

[wareagle69]

hey SAM as you will notice i never apologize for anything what i do is calculated and based on intent so won't see me saying any regrets to anyone, that being said i will assume you are referring to me responding to a blog that you say is probably a spoof well its nice to know you are so intuitive and can read the intentions of the authors mind as he is so i will say that you are also an idiot, what he wrote you take as spoof well good for you but many others will see what he posted and take it for gospel the great thing about this is that you have your absurd opinions and so do i but what i post about here is primitive skills and survival and what you post about mostly is ignorance. i hope this is all spelled correctly for you so you can understand what an idiot you are i would not want you to misinterpret that point

Personally, if I was in the desert, obviously I would survive off of the desert animals. For water I would find the desert plants, and I would extract the water that they store, because desert plants store their water for long intervals, due to the lack of it in the desert. During the day, I would stay cool by not overexerting myself, and if I did get too hot I would stop and rest, and cover myself with think white clothes that would repel the sun’s UV rays and keep them from heating me up. At night I would dig a hole in the desert ground deep enough for me to curl up in. This allows for me to make better use of my body heat. And if I ever got desperate, I could always find a substitute to food with a “hand” from the camera man…

To me it sounds like he is ridiculing some of the "reality shows".

But just you know your opinion means nothing to me. I'm glad you do what you do. I believe the bush is a good place for you.

[BraggSurvivor]

Hey, what's the little + mean down by Sams name?

Where can a guy get one of those?

[Gray Wolf]

Yes WE! But people like that only see, hear and understand what they choose to. As in that BS under his name, is a great example of ignorance, "All Great Men Were Bigots", he doesn't understand, that is in itself a contradiction! Why waste your time. I'm surprised he's been allowed to post that...

And Remy, do you really think anybody cares.

[wareagle69]

remy my friend thanks for your confidence in me, i live in french canada but i have no reason to doubt you, what sealed the deal for me was way back last summer when we had the survival scenario thread after it all turned to a huge mess you posted a post a basically you said or read about each of our personalities and i think you hit some nerves people don't like others to see what is there strnghts or weaknesses as i said at that time your insight is remarkable just by what people post i guess it would be the same as haveing a conversation with some one but you hit it on the head for me and i suspect a few others but that is what i enjoy about you
i have a saying "how do i know what i don't know" bascically trying to say when i think i know something then someone educates me about the same thing but opening my eyes to other ways i can only learn that by listening to others, soem cannot see their strenghts or their weaknesess and need someone to be honest enough to point them out hense freindship
and you have my freindship
