Fuck, I’d want my money back ifffin that’s the grand prizeHe guessed $1 on the price of the blender and everybody else went over, so a won a trip to beautiful...
Called someone an idiot or such. Sounds like a temp ban more than permanent.
Skins are getting thin if thats all it took.
Wow, I'd be in serious trouble if they enforced thought crimes.
Lol. Idiot would be the least offensive term I've seen here.
Over use of the ignore button...
He has everyone except hissef on ignore because he believes he's all knowing and erybody should kneel when he speaks.....

Everybody has a different tolerance for "in your face" responses....
It looks like that's just how he communicates.

AKA...Social ignorance..
Say what you will he's a stand up guy.
I would assume that's why! LoL
Not to mention it was in Practical Marksman Questions. Bugnut vs shouldered. Essentially bearpit behavior in regular threads, warned, didn't stop.

Seems now a days there are more male cunts than female.

Nothing against, 308, this isnt aimed at him, just a random thought, but an old buddy who sent me a letter from federal prison made the remark (paraphrased) "In here you can be anything you can lie about. A chickenthief can become a king." I see that a lot on the internet. Nobody's being 'operators'.
It was a new member asking a noob question, and he acted like it was Bryan Litz. Asked to chill, and told mod to fuckoff. QED
Fixed it. You're not bad from what I've seen.----------

Me:
I have a best friend that communicates the exact same way.
When I first met the guy - 5 minutes after meeting him - he's telling me I'm fucking full of shit and lying about something.
I was like what the fuck is this guy's deal?
I proved him wrong instead of taking offense. After a while I figured out he had thick skin and expected that everyone else did also.
Replying in kind is what's expected.
There's no actual animosity, that's just how he talks.

Caused a few ripples in Sidearms back then but in the very low kiloton yield. No Castle Bravos though...
I had a client with five big buildings heated by boilers. They had a service contract for all five with a big, local HVAC company. They went to sell one of their buildings, and the buyer found some problems with the boilers. My client called the HVAC company to come fix the issues right before closing. They did. It probably wasn't more than ten grand. Then the HVAC company (who still had a comprehensive service contract for four buildings) knowing they were selling it demanded payment immediately, or they threatened to put a lien on the property and prevent the closing.
I tried to explain to one of the partners (an engineer) that while well within the law and their rights to do this, the reason this law was written that way was to prevent someone from contracting the work and then selling the building and never paying, but with a hundred thousand plus per year client with ongoing expenses that they always paid on-time such stupidity and insistence on pushing that maximum letter of the law was going to cost them dearly over absolutely nothing. The fucking idiot would not relent, and they not only lost all that business (my boss made me call and apologize for calling him "A fucking moron"), but I will never use them or recommend them to anyone ever again, so there went another couple of million dollars.
Was he "right"? Yes, and I admitted as much. That doesn't mean he wasn't a total fucking moron still being "right"...
I could see telling PMI “the older I get the less I give a fuck” not going over well. context matters, but timing does as well.
I don’t think it was “I don’t give a fuck what you say” in response to PMI, but more of a “I’m frustrated with having to pretend I don’t hate people I perceive as dumb” type situation and bad timing. I’m not on his side, but see both sides.

I got a timeout for quoting a line from the Joe Dirt movie.....
No big deal.
No big deal.
I guess I have no idea…I just assumed you said something to the effect of “I’m going to stab you with A soldering iron“. Which if you didn’t catch the Joe dirt reference is kinda, you know, threatening.
What I meant by “direct” was there’s a difference between “somebody needs to get stabbed” for example, and “I’m going to stab you”…which is closer to the actual quote.
Mark LaRue caught a permanent over on Arfcom.
He always wrote in bold text, like his comments carried more weight and he could turn childish with the insults if someone didn't agree with him.
Then Jesse James got dogpiled and chased off when he said his new can was less than 72 decibels and quieter than the bolt on an AR cycling.

Kevin Brittham was here for a little bit under his own name. His posts in a couple threads got lots of laughs at. He left soon afterward.
That's along way to go to say fuck you....
The thread did not disappoint. Loved @MarinePMI's chill response
To be clear, 308Pirate got a 30 day ban because:
1. Stirring shit in technical threads with his abrasive behavior.
2. Giving shit to several new members, who asked basic questions, but didn't know enough to know how to ask the basic question.
None of them alone would have gotten him a vacation. However. When asked to chill, very nicely I might add, he proceeds to say "The older I get, the less fucks I give" or something to that effect.
Fine. Even that's not ban worthy.
What is ban worthy is, after making that post, then going to another thread and continuing his shit. That is certainly ban worthy, since that is just another weak assed, spineless, passive aggressive way of saying "Fuck you." And I, or any other mod for that matter, is not going to put up with that.
Now, people may think I have nothing better to do then play referee between all the various personalities on this site, but I do have a full time job. Granted, one that let's me check up on things periodically during the day, but I still have a job. Which means, I can't spend the bulk of my time on here, dealing with 2 or 3 fucking idiots, that don't have common manners, or think that the Hide is their personal fire hydrant to come in and piss all over whenever they have a bad day or feel like being a douche.
Nor does it give them free license to spew whatever bullshit they feel like, venting to the world. (Take note to those who know who you are)
One offs I have no particular issue with; everyone has a bad day. But when there is a clear and obvious pattern? Well, you're going to find yourself with time to go have a Snickers bar in the corner.
Mods spend roughly 80-90% of their time dealing with reports on the same 10% of the people who just can't figure out when to stop, or shut their proverbial fucking mouths. When that happens enough times, as a mod, you just think "Okay, you've been warned, but you think you're somehow untouchable. Wrong."
I'm a pretty laid back mod (I think)...until you piss me off by repeatedly breaking the rules, or feeling the need to push the boundaries. Since we have these "reality testers" here, then that means that occasionally, some reality needs to be meted out. I have had less problems with my kids, than some of the overinflated, chest thumping, bloviating egos here, so I guess I regress back to "dad role" and disciplinarian.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dad role: "You sure you wanna stick that penny in that light socket?"
Child role: "Yes, dammit! I know what I'm talking about!!!"
Dad role: "You know, that's going to hurt, right?"
Child role: "No it won't! I weigh xxx lbs, have rubber soled shoes on, have the wind speed velocity of a swallow, and know more than you do about this!"
Dad role: <sigh> "Okay. Try it out."
Child role: <inserts penny> Zzzzappppp! "Owwwwwwiiiiiii. That fucking hurts!"
Dad role: <as they walk away> "Maybe next time you'll listen. For now, just lay there, in pain, and think about it."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, now what I need, is someone to make a meme of a penny dropping, and it slowing spinning to a stop, and fall over. It'd make a nice addition to the ban cat...
Good day gentlemen.

Hes an old timer who cut up around here maybe around 08-09.
Thats what I'd call a well rounded answer to my OP question.
I don't log in when I read the other sections of the Hide. It keeps me from replying to some of the stuff.
