@Lowlight, I include you since I quoted you.
Spurred by your post @barneybdb which only took 3 separate posts to express one confused, semi cogent thought. I chose to start a separate thread because, unlike you I'd rather not throw shit in FM's memorial thread. I reckon your lower than I imagined. I suppose thats what 'down under' means.
First, after looking at logistics and time, theres just no way I could fit an 11 hour each way trip in, especially with the lack of lodging I see in the area, and I have several other trips already planned this spring. So your veiled little threat was wasted. If @powdahound76 who's gig it is asked me, I would not go. He hasn't, he seems to be a pretty decent guy. Other than that your little threat wouldnt stop me. Mike and I got along fine, had several good conversations with he and Greg L. Helped Mike out when he first got his cell phone and was struggling with it.
Now, moving on. Heres a post I got from a buddy a couple weeks back and I've gotten others similar:
"So what's the back story on all the grab ass being directed at you ?
Just remember Maggot , It's lonely at the top . Eff the ball busters you're good people in my book ."
Y'all know who you are I dont have to spell out handles, but a couple are Bigcuntry, 1jerkoff4 (the resurfacing turd, Lapualadoucha, a few others To answer his question goes something like this. The same little group who, when I put up a Good Guy's with Guns thread to help someone, got it taken down because they didnt like me. Think of the low caliber of individuals who would keep an innocent person from getting help because the didnt like someone else. Kind of embarrassing ...for them and reflective or their character.
There are some individuals who's personalities are just defective. Something inside them is broken and they cant feel good about themselves unless they are putting someone else down. You see that in schoolyard bullies. Damaged little boys trying to be big shots. Its a disease, haters got to hate. Personally, I dont have time for hate, its a massive negative energy that corrupts the soul and always returns to the one putting it out. I cant afford it so i avoid it. Their hate makes them weaker and me stronger.
For a long time it was Maser, then he quit hanging around so much so now its pushed at me. I see them somewhat like a virus that isnt really alive unless it has a host. Or a tick that sucks blood, leaves one host, then moves on to another. Its so easy to be a bully from behind the keyboard. I asked Lowlight many years ago "What the fuck is wrong with some of these people?" His answer was "Welcome to the internet." So simple and so appropriate. Another applicable quote came from an old friend who was one of the first marines in Viet Nam. Nick was a tough SOB but came back pretty fucked up and landed in prison for a bit. One thing he wrote me was "In here a chicken thief can be a king just by running is mouth." A lot of chicken thieves in the Pit.
Frankly, I have been thinking for quite some time, that I spend far too much time on line, and especially in the Pit, neglecting other things I need t tend to. . There are a lot of great people, I've met and shot with several, and made a couple of dear friends. Sadly, just like the 'real' world, a few turds (one got called out recently for 'floating back up) stink it up for all. I had to really stop to look at how I was investing my time, someone will post something, then come endless opinions, many to most of which are ignorant and biased and without a lot of critical thought. I've seem stupid and hate filled arguments go on for pages and nothing is resolved. What a waste of time and energy. Its taught me one great lesson, that the right/conservative's can be just as, or more, fucked up as the ones they love to hate, just in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, like the saying "Never argue with a fool, he will wear you down and beat you with experience." I let myself get pulled into that, and dont like what I see, all to often. I'll still be around to check the 'prayer request thread' and a couple others, but its time on focus more on the other shooting threads. Following Mammon only destroys.
Now I'll close. To my haters, dont think you've beaten me, you haven't. In fact I'm beating you right now. How, you ask? Because after reading this you'll spend lots of time and energy posting stupid hateful crap thinking your insulting me. The laugh is on you as I'll never open this thread again so I'll never smell your shit. Or perhaps you wont post, thinking "We won't let him trick us into posting." If that's the case, I still beat you because you didnt post because I called you on it. And either way, other than to keep this post recent and at the top, I'll never read the replies.
Any way out, how does it feel to be a beaten virus?
As for you Barney, your post was done in pride and arrogance. Remember this passage...
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
King James Version (KJV)
I refuse to participate in your hate, so I return it to you. When your fall comes, instead of whining about "Wh did this happen to me?" I just want you to know where its came from. Not me, you put it on yourself. Laffin
Maggot out.
