Whew!!! I'm glad to see other folks have gotten dinged!!!
As stated by another poster, this is not our house and we are guests. That's how I see it as well. I also like Handejectors sentiment about this staying a site that people can show their kids and learn more about shooting.
There's topics I won't bring up, things I won't reply to, people I think are nut jobs, and lots of other things that are in my real life that don't belong here. As stated, this isn't our website, we're here for a visit.
Also, I'd like to thank my parents for ensuring that my education enable me to express myself without the need to swear (although I do in real life) ...
And I must add, it wasn't too classy to say 'almost, everybody' ... if a person really gives a rats hind end (see, I didn't say ***!) they don't need an 'exit thread' to bash the mods over something that I now see most of the people I read all the time here have, and that's a ding or two. I honestly feel much better seeing some long timers and quality posters have had a slap as well ... not nearly as isolating
I already forgot who started this thread ,but I hope they have a great life, and can find an outlet to creatively spell what ever the **** they want.

American society desperately needs standards like these if we ever wish to be truly "great" again.

I'm going to leave this board because of my "creative spelling".I got my 2nd.message from "The Moderators" today.I wasn't asked to leave,it's just my time.Thanks for all the great info,ect.Cowboy117 signing off for the last time.Take care,ALMOST everyone.
Does this mean the board will shut down now? Can it go on?
I always wonder about the motivation of people who post the "I'm leaving and never coming back" announcements. I always suspect they come back and read the thread to see if anyone is going to beg them to stay. Maybe not.
Anyway. See you around.

I come from a part of the country where cussin was an art form and not slander.
I can appreciate rules---truely, I can.
Sometimes I see the common cuss words and they make me laugh--it is a good solid way on making a point. It really doen't offend me.
Now vulgar cussin is another thing entirely & so is using it to draw attention.
I try and respect folks and this board---in person you might get shocked if your ears are real tender.

Interesting subject here. I am a multiple time offender, and pretty much scratched my head when my hand was slapped... didn't see where I was wrong by defending myself..... After much self examining, figured out that my way of thinking isn't always exceptable!! Ok, kewl, I felt better knowing that. Never too old for a reminder... creative spelling.. now that was a good one, took me a little while to figure out what that one meant... got it now.. just because I spelled it different, doesn't mean I didn't say it...
I appreciate this board greatly, it really is the best of any boards I have participated on, love the rules here, they really are guidelines to a good life. Thank you Lee, and the other Mods that have reminded me .....

It is quite refreshing to enter this forum, most behave like adults, insults and just plain nastiness is not tolerated.
All of us are guilty of not totally reading all the rules which appear in writing for us to follow.
I received a message from "The Man" for a very small infraction having nothing to do with others.
I apologized for my ignorance, didn't become sensitive, and won't ever violate said rule.
If you mess up, accept it and don't repeat. This forum is the very best on the internet, and one I want to continue to visit.
For my small sin, after notification, I was embarrassed and became a Bronze Contributor, that's how I handled the whole situation.

I for one have never been dinged, or de meritized. One proud record.
It's kinda like kids saying they are going to hold their breath until they get their way.

I stand behind Lee and the other moderators for the fine job they do. I have been warned and edited more than once, and doggone it, I deserved it. I'm single, so I nobody "moderates" me at home, and most of us need a little moderating in our lives, whether we think so or not. We need the big gorilla to keep all us little monkeys in line. Cowboy, I'm sorry you're so sensitive, but like they say, " Don't let the screen door hit ya, where the good Lord split ya."

I got a warning because I posted a WTS/WTT and already had a WTS on the same board. Actually, the old post had been around a while and I had given it a bump not long before. In my older age, I forget things rather easily and I had honestly forgotten about the earlier post.
Well, My Bad, I owned up, appologized for the oversight, changed the post, and life goes on.
I really like this forum and appreciate the opportunity to visit here and contribute once it a while.
Thanks.

Well, I got a warning for creative spelling, and that was OK...it is the rule. I got a...well, not warning, but two messages about my ads, and that was OK...the rules are clearly stated and I just wasn't thinking.
One thing I did disagree with was a post of mine was edited because of a comment I made about another forum...the intent of the moderator was to spare Lee any embarrassment. This I didn't agree with initially, because free speech in America is supposed to be free...then I realized that this isn't America! Like others have said, when you are in a man's house, you follow his rules or leave. That is what I expect of anyone in my house, and how I behave in someone else's house. So, I got over it.
This is a great forum, and I do like the tone here compared to some out there...but at the end of the day, it is just the internet, not life. If you like it here, fine...if not, don't log in. It's not that complicated!

I've been banned, reprimanded, deleted, and edited so many times I can't count. Not to mentioned being kicked off for a week. So to avoid that happening again right now, all I have to say is, "So, how 'bout those S.F. Giants, huh?!"
I never had a ****** car. Lucky.
