Or had a flashback?
Only bought something from them once but it was as legit as it gets. I pay them. they sent the product as described.
Dude or dudette, (whichever you are or identify as. Cuz we're not judgemental) ummm we are well beyond that. Now it's just plain ass hattery judgemental fun.
I know, I know. I just said that we're not but.... Ahhh fuck. Have a few drinks and play along. Or don't. We won't pass judgement either way.
My apologies for not reading the 4 pages worth of "ass hattery". Saw the question, answered it in favor of CS Tactical and moved on. I'll be sure not to make such a mistake again by not playing along. "insert gay joke here" that applies to whatever running joke y'all have going on so I fit in.
I didn't even know what the bear pit was. Now I know how to conduct myself here. I'll be seeing you boys around.
Friendly advice. Read this thread in its entirety.
Bear Pit Expectations
For those that are new to (or not acquainted with) the Pit, it can be a rough and tumble place. While not everything is allowed, it is a place for shooting the breeze, expressing opinions on non-shooting related topics, and a place to blow off steam. But lately there seems to be some...

Should NOT ask either "is this still available?""You've been warned"........
Yep, and for two distinctly different reasons.
The Bear Pit, where the last of your feelings and self-esteem go to die.
I'd like to say that it keeps me honest and it does, mostly. But it also reminds me of the crew I used to work with in the field. If you didn't say something, we would make one up for you. Including rumors that were, well, okay...
Jason was a guy who had been to prison. He served his full sentence for identity fraud (stealing and cashing checks to buy drugs.) He really did turn his life around and studied electrical trade. But that wasn't good enough.
Curtis started the rumor that he lost a testicle in prison and his nickname was Uno.
That lasted for a day with Jason being mystified at people calling him Uno. We finally let him in on it and he laughed.
And got us back. He would fart in a bucket and bring it covered to you. He did that one day.
Next day was my turn and payback is a bitch. We were working over the weekend doing a remodel for computer power in a building that held the ag shop on one side and the computer lab on the other side at a middle school. I had the whole ag shop smelling like my bowel for about 3 hours.
It was the stuff of legend. My friend John, a long-time deer hunter and used to cleaning and processing does from the crack of his muzzleloader to packaged chili grind that he did himself, was choking and tearing up.
So, this place feels like home.
You are OK as far as Bender is concerned. Just don't get between and his Pigeon-poon-tang!

Weird smell and “food stains” all over it is what he told me
@Tokay444 decided to troll me on IG, I hate people thinking they are anonymous and say whatever the fuck they want. I didn’t know they had liver spotted gingers in Canada.

Just giving you the same shit you gave me, except I was not anonymous. What did you do to Frank Green at Bartlein?
Richard
Those are not eyes of kindness. Those are eyes of bemusement. Those are the eyes of some of my co-workers just before they mercilessly roasted me for something real or imagined.
Feels like home, here.
There’s a time and place to do and say things. I don’t give a shit if you like me, but you decided to troll our companies page and wanted to keep going. It would be like if I weren’t on the message boards, company pages you were affiliated with to talk shit. The difference is that whatever I say on social media, I’d have no problem with saying in person. This is a small and tight community of “adults” this isn’t reddit.

He commented on our CS Tactical IG about the watch band cutting off my circulation, I explained that it was just the way I angled it to minimize the glare. It looked tight but was not. He continued to go on about it
He could have at least tried to sound funny instead trying to be a jerk. I was in a rush to get a few pics and kept getting interrupted by deliveries and I had to box everything up before I took off to bring my kid to school.
Just like in the bear pit when you know the difference of ribbing vs someone trying to be nasty. It tends to be the people that hide behind anonymity that go for the latter.
- Richard
I don’t know you enough to know if I like you or not. I do like what your business offers.
That wasn’t trolling. I would definitely make the same observation in person.
An adult wouldn’t get bent outta shape and start internet stalking someone about it.
Now you can sit back and have fun with us here, you know what you were doing. Just don’t anymore…
I know being up in Canada you’re not use to mixed race people like me who get tanned, I was at the beach all weekend prior.
Agreed and I don't have the business concern that you do.He commented on our CS Tactical IG about the watch band cutting off my circulation, I explained that it was just the way I angled it to minimize the glare. It looked tight but was not. He continued to go on about it

And yeah, most times, there is good-natured ribbing here. Sometimes real vitriol. As for the difference between roasting and outright trolling and gaslighting, my viewpoint is shaped by my experiences, though your mileage may vary.
When someone gives me grief, real or feigned, it is best that I let the visual aid make my point for me. For example, if the trolling behavior were directed at me, this would be my response.
Many won't understand this, but here is a video of a cave in Big Sur, CA where my Esslen ancestors made cave paintings carbon dated thousands of years ago... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esselen
And the ink I had done last night

It probably wouldnt cut off circulation if you wore it on your pecker....He commented on our CS Tactical IG about the watch band cutting off my circulation, I explained that it was just the way I angled it to minimize the glare. It looked tight but was not. He continued to go on about it

Thats the ribbing part
So, if any one could lend a hand, it would be you.
Interesting how tribes and peoples often were described by something simple.
For example, the word kansas means "people of the south wind," also the inspiration for the hit song by the band, Kansas. Slight side story:
One of the things that irked Steve Walsh, the most well known singer and the one everyone knows, was people asking about his heritage and if he was native american. He has that look but does not know because he was adopted and evidently could not get the information and now is not interested. Granted, Steve is a bit shy. Second singer and violinist Robby Steinhardt often did the patter between songs.
Now, how do I celebrate that my maternal grandfather was from Germany?
My brother came up with a good one that has stuck with me for decades.
"I laugh at pain. Your pain."

I think many people take for granted that they know their family’s history, I’m 51 and will never know who my paternal grandfather is. I couldn’t even confirm my indigenous side from my maternal grandfather until he passed away. Thank goodness one of my cousins that I didn’t know until recently did all the legwork on our indigenous background and lives in the area. The missions apparently have good record keeping so our ancestry is traced back to the late 1700’s. So my boys and I have been in a tribe for over 6 years. It’s very interesting to say the least.

Origins
Distribution map of the Esselen language in California prior to contact with European cultures
Archaeological and linguistic evidence indicates that the original people's territory once extended much farther north, into the San Francisco Bay Area, until they were displaced by the entrance of Ohlone people. Based on linguistic evidence, Richard Levy places the displacement at around AD 500.[2][3] Breschini and Haversat place the entry of Ohlone speakers into the Monterey area prior to 200 B.C. based on multiple lines of evidence. Carbon dating of excavated sites places the Esselen in the Big Sur since circa 2630 BCE.[4] Recently, however, researchers have obtained a radiocarbon date from coastal Esselen territory in the Big Sur River drainage dated prior to 6,500 years ago (archeological site CA-MNT-88).[5]

And as far back as 10,000 years...
Little is actually known of the Esselen, but anthropologists and historians have drawn a number of conclusions. The Esselen presence in Central California dates back 10,000 years. Evidence suggests that they were drawn here by the hot springs, which were used for healing (the Esselen word for the springs was believed to mean "the god in the waters"). They were a short, stocky people, with dark hair and eyes. Light-skinned at birth, they were reputed to turn a dull black from so much time in the sun. The men had facial hair.
