I have never ever had a
Bassboys post had nothing, absolutely NOTHING to do with your post to Dave. Your post to Dave was fine and I'm sure he will appreciate it. justsomedude posted another place to learn how to tie knots, the one that he uses that is an app instead of a link, and that is it. Where was he going with it? He was going with another option to learn, obviously one that he has had success with.
If you think you "kindly" asked him where he was going with it, you should re-read some of your posts from an outside perspective. Some of your comments are coming off very passive aggressive. Just because someone uses please and thank you, it doesn't make the content in between any different.
As I said previously, we are glad for the knowledge you are bringing to the table. If these problems are going to continue, maybe this isn't the best place for you. We have had ZERO problems in almost 3 years of this sites existence until the past week.
I have never ever had a problem on any forums Im on. SnipersHide.com- 10's of thousands strong, TNdeer.com and a host of others.
Put yourself in my shoes...as to the highly inflammatory stuff been dished my way after all the time I have already put into your forum.
I have zero problem with justsomedude
In fact he and I have had fine exchanges..and he taught me a lot and because of him Im tree climbing on just my etrier. Im very thankful.
I totally disagree with you about bassboy. He is the sole reason of this flair up. He chimed in, called me a cyberbully and had the nerve to think he was going to tell this Marine what to do. Umm-NOT gonna happen.He's not the boss here. And he was wrong and off base anyway. My opinion.
Further more...and Im not telling anyone what to do.(!)..its my opinion flair ups should be done in private message... So all members of the board are not drug through the crap. Bassboy should of had the cajones to address me personally and privately if he wanted to make assault.
But if Im publicly attacked I will publicly defend myself. I offer as humble suggestion you make it a rule that this kind of thing be dealt with privately so that innocent bystanders dont have to see the bs.
But alas Im good and done. To use a southern saying- Ive had a gut full of this place.
Im drawing a line in the sand.
If bassboy publicly apologizes to me for his public assault..wether he felt it appropriate or not...And if the sh*t storms dissapeer Im willing to give this place one more last chance.
I can take it or leave it. I got what I needed here to lighten my kit in a couple hours of first reading. Also Id be happy to continue to contribute, share my hard won knowledge and experience ,be part of the community, be a friend and especially continue to develop and enjoy certain specific new relationships that have been sparked here.
But I will be respected and shown respect. Especially publicly. Privately? As a defender of American freedoms I welcome and encourage folks to say anything they wish to me good, bad or ugly in private.
Its all up to bassboy.
And you Red.
Me, Im happy as a Lark.

Ps: regardless of if I stay or go...because bassboy effectivly made my responce to justsomedude something it wasnt I will check in with him publicly and privately and if he took my words in any negative light I wil make real apology. That's who I am.
