Graham,
That's exactly the source of the "conflict" he is referring to. When he started posting about armed revolution, his involvement with the Sipsey Street Irregulars, and his association with other militia-type movements, I sent him a PM that advised him to be cautious about that. I explained that even though I'm a police officer, I am <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">not</span></span> his enemy and that in addition to being a freedom-loving right-wing conservative, I also strongly support the Constitution in general and the 2nd Amendment specifically. I did tell him to stop the posts about rebellion and future armed conflicts with police and feds (a conflict that he seemed to be craving).
In the subsequent PM's between us, I advised him that he was being very reckless with his talk of armed rebellion when he put so much personal information out on the internet for everyone to find. I advised him that if a random guy could figure out where he lived and worked in 2 minutes of Google searching (because he posted that info on a nutjob website that openly discussed the coming war with the NWO and the Feds), then the Feds almost assuredly have a very well developed file on him. He was informed that his internet posts about his preparations for the upcoming rebellion were probably being monitored and recorded somewhere. I asked him to keep that kind of stuff off Sniper's Hide because this place has been a good resource for a lot of very good people, including active duty MIL/LE, who don't need to be associated with political radicals. I honestly did try to keep everything on a back channel. He did not listen to my advice but instead went on the offensive. He cleaned up his internet presence by removing most of the personal info he had posted about himself on radical websites and then he went on a personal campaign against me. He started PM-ing the hell out of me and even sent me emails.
He has already been banned from Sniper's Hide once for posting a political, anti-govt diatribe. His post had a direct connection to other websites advocating armed insurrection and/or violent resistance against the government. The moderators made the right call and deleted it. As best I can tell, he's convinced himself that I am a fascist/statist who is bent on imposing a police state in America and he apparently believes that one day he and his cohorts will engage me in a shooting war. He has made it clear that he believes I am his sworn enemy because I am a police officer who, while off duty, wrote in opposition to his posts favoring armed rebellion and an apparent eagerness to see violence used to institute his vision of what the USA should be. I have told him via PM that even though we may interact with one another in the public forums, I wish to have no further contact with him via PM or email.
As Paul Harvey used to say, "And now you know the rest of the story."
No matter what 3PER posts again in this thread, I will not respond, engage, or even acknowledge it. I apologize for the thread going off course. </div></div>
My only response to this is now you have one side of the story, which is filled with lies and half truths. The bottom line is I do not now, nor ever have advocated "an armed rebellion". I do favor a restoration of the Constitution. If my country needs defending, I will not hesitate to do so against enemies foreign or domestic.
I am also out of this thread.
