Why is porn, soft or hard or pics of any girls in lack of clothing need posting in here?...have you guys not learned how to go to porn sites?...or not learned how to delete your hx yet so your wife/girlfriend not find it?..
Or is it that your ego needs the constant "your the man" slap on the back from posting the pics?...
And dont say its not anything worse than what is on the beach...come on..a womans crotch or butt is not a foot within your face or your grandkids face on the beach...but it sure is on here....0 -

The association thread is locked again. The reason Saxon gave was totally Bull____. If Saxon or any other mod. can't or won't tell the truth, then any or all of the mods that lock or poof threads for their own satisfaction should be banned by admin.

Seems as if it should only cater to you...???...there are other folks here...and some of them with a sense of humor see what's going on.
Something to think about...do you think that perhaps your personal take on things could possibly be a little askew? It may help to try and look at things from a different perspective.[?][?][?]0 -
gjshaw- I DO NOT appreciate your attitude. What I said about why that thread was locked was the exact truth and I RESENT your comment.
Go elsewhere if you can't get along.0 -

Since you are being so honest, tell us this. You started a thread once questioning why people bought guns they know absolutely nothing about. When I posted it was about the same as the person that buys a Japanese sword that he knows absolutely nothing about (which was an unspoken reference to you), that thread suddenly disappeared very soon afterward. Why?
I resent your BS.0 -
That thread was deleted because the last two posts contained vulgar verbiage. It wasn't the subject that caused the deletion it was the language posted by the last two members to comment. That's what usually happens when a thread gets deleted. Someone goes off on a foul-mouthed rant and it gets poofed.
How many times do you want to bring up that thread? Yes, I did ask a question about a couple of swords I own. I admit that I am not an expert on swords and wanted some info. But even though I am no expert when I bought them I had a vague idea of what they were and figured the prices I was paying were reasonable.
The question I raised was about people who buy a gun without the slightest idea of what they are buying. I have read people say they bought a gun without even knowing what caliber it shoots. How is this comparable to my asking about the history of a sword made hundreds of years before I was born, by artisans in another country? Nothing about that thread makes me look bad except in your mind. Why do you insist on bringing that thread up every two weeks? What is your problem? Have you raised that issue enough now? Can we move on for Christ's sake? Besides being a non-issue it's boring and repetitious. Can you please find something else to amuse yourself?
You cannot be polite towards me. You do not like me. Fine. Fact is that I don't give a rolling damn about you or how you feel about me. But I am tired of your never ending accusations and complaints. I am tired of your childish insults. I am tired of you.0 -

Dislike you? I don't even know you!
What I dislike is your inane way of doing your "job" It's like you're the Barney Fife of Moderator RFD. Your poof button is your single (green) bullet.
If you poofed a whole thread on account of one or two post, why do you just edit others and not poof those whole threads?
If I knew you well enough I might dislike you. Right now I just think you are incompetent*. Will this thread now be poofed? [;)]
* Strict dictionary definition, look it up.0 -
Don- Only the ones who act like petulant children and would rather hound and harass me than simply get on with their business. If everyone would just stop worrying about me and mind your own affairs we'd all be much happier.
I started about 6 threads in the past 2 days and all but 1 have been deleted by nunn. Why? Because there are people on this forum who apparently have nothing better to do than attack me. Three of the threads had nothing controversial as the topic. Yet they also turned ugly as people couldn't resist insulting me with vile words. About half the threads I didn't start but added a comment on have also required deleting for the same reason. As soon as these people see my name the attacks start.
Don, make sarcastic remarks if you like, but I am tired of this crap. I'm tired of being hounded. I'm tired of being blamed for things I don't do. I'm tired of not being able to participate in discussions just because some people don't like me.
Well, you know what? There are people I don't like. But I don't follow them around attacking them every chance I get. I have tried being friendly towards them and they kicked me in the crotch. I tried being civil to them and they kicked me in the crotch. I tried ignoring them and they follow me around so they can kick me in the crotch at the first opportunity.
How about if everybody just started minding their own affairs and get off my back? If a thread gets poofed it probably wasn't me. I average no more than 2-3 deletions a week. Everyone blames me but I hardly ever do it and when I do I honestly believe it needs it. You people spend way more time griping about lost threads than they are worth. Just start another topic and move on. What the Hell is wrong with some of you?
p3- There you go again. You accuse me of poofing this thread. It's still here, isn't it? YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN. Please note above comment to Don. I average about 2-3 deletions per week. You THINK it's me all the time but it is not. You are falsely accusing me. I hardly ever use the delete button. There are maybe 6-8 people who can delete threads and I am probably the least busy of them all yet you blame me 100% of the time.
And even if it was me who made a particular thread go away, I did it for what I thought was a good reason. I'm not perfect. I make mistakes. I try to be fair. I try to be civil but you make that very difficult with your constant bitching.
Nunn asked me to moderate. In the past year I have offered my resignation 3 times feeling my presence was causing him grief. He asked me to stay each time.
I'm really, really sorry you disapprove of me as a moderator but unfortunately you don't get to make that decision. You can either live with my presence or leave. I'm staying. But this incessant complaining and making false accusations has got to end.0 -

Pickenup- Yes, I do have what's best for the forum at heart. I try to do the best I can at this job and I know not everyone agrees and I know I goof up once in a while. Sue me, I'm human.
Why did you accept the post? Didn't you want to help out and keep things running? Well, me too. It's so frustrating when members want to talk about me instead of more entertaining subjects. I should just be a shadow in the background and I try to not be intrusive but every time something happens a bunch of folks start yelling at me when 95% of the time I didn't even do it and the other 5% it was deserved and needed doing.
P3- For the record, I think that despite being a bungler sometimes Barney had his heart in the right place and meant well. We shouldn't always focus on the negative. Betty Lou thought he was the cat's pajamas.
Don- nunn wants Hairy back too so you may be right. Maybe he knows with both of us here he'll never catch any Hell.0 -

Who decides what is more entertaining? You make yourself such a target and it is fun to watch. Who here makes as much fun of me but me. It is a internet forum and is used for a way to relive stress. Much like sitting around and shooting the crap after work. You take things too personal and make for good fodder. Don0 -

The paying public are those who deal with auctions. It's the business of selling. Not surfing the web. Forums are a GB, INC. afterthought. Closing the forum will have no noticeable effect on the hosts income. Joe0 -

You need to let your skin thicken up a bit. Don't let everyone get to you. ACT LIKE A BIG BOY don't disagree with anyone. Let the bad comments roll off you like water off a ducks back.

They don't bring it on themselves.

OK. You got it. No more explanations or defenses. I have always known it was a useless exercise to explain myself so I will stop trying. When I see something that crosses the line I will just delete it and move on. Blame me if you like. From now it is much more likely to be my doing.
When the haters start polluting my threads their posts will be deleted. I have always left them alone so that I couldn't be accused of deleting critical comments but since I get accused of doing it anyway, what's the point? I won't leave it for nunn to delete the whole thread. I'll take out the offending posts myself since this seems to be what you want.
Pickenup- I keep telling you that talking to me isn't talking to the powers that be. You have every bit as much power as I do.0 -

Saxon,
Now you have it figured out. Don't give them the pleasure of pissing you off. They just like to get under your skin. Don't let them. They'll go pick on someone else.
For the record, (and I know I'm not alone) I think you do a good job here.
