Recusing myself!

[wareagle69]

heck ya don't have to be young to be rude and obnoxious look at some of our senior members

[Beo]

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.

[Beo]

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,

[wareagle69]

[crashdive123]

Hmmm? How odd. Remy, why are you deleting all of your posts?

[crashdive123]

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

Remy was here before under the user name, VolWest. Things went bad for him & he left for awhile, deleting all of his posts; then came back later on. Things went worse & he left again, again deleting all of his posts. This is the 3rd time he's done this & "danged" if I can understand why. The only comment I'm going to make is that if this is how a "Sergent" in the "French Marine Commandos" acts then my respect for them has just taken a "nose-dive". However if you "Google" The title: "French Marine Commandos" & visit one of the sites you'll see those guys are nobody to mess with. Go figure.

Also, Ridge Wolf, please follow the rules about posting links to other "Survival Forums". Thank you.

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) .

[crashdive123]

When you think about it, it's all about survival of some sort. Apparently some didn't survive.

[Gray Wolf]

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".

Gees, Look at the amount of posts about the 2 TV shows here! That sure didn't belong in ANY of the Survival Forums either. But look at the sticky's in any of the Survival Forums and there will be lots of posts.

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.

I am sorry to say that but I am very good at character assessment. So, to my friends that I have made here (and will miss) I say goodbye and may you have a wonderful life.

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..

[Beo]

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.

[Rick]

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.

Things are different now. When you were working for our Uncle Sam I don't think you decided you didn't want to get dirty or play in a big sandbox with the other guys and went home. Anybody that has to make a big production out of leaving a forum has a problem. All you need to do is don't post, don't even go there. Kinda like I was told once by someone far wiser than me. 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.

[Beo]

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.

[trax]

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.
