Why I'm glad I don't live in South Carolina...

[mtb1bkr]

I spent 4 years of my Marine Corps career in NY, in fact, right down the road from Gordy. I bought my first 5 guns in NY and had it not been for those purchases, I probably wouldn't have a safe full of guns now. I would have gladly stayed in NY for the rest of my career if the Corps would have let me. I didn't like the politics on the 2A side, but I loved the area and the people I met there. I still have some very close friends up there that I keep in touch with. Politics aside, NY has been my favorite state to live in and I may retire from the Corps and move back there to work for Harris Corp in about 6.5 years.

The current state I live in is just a bad as NY, but I don't spend my time bashing it as it doesn't do any good and just agravates folks from here. I deal with the rules governing this state by learning them and obeying them. I have bought two guns here in the last couple of months with no problem other than the blasted 10 prison sentence for the gun once I pay for it.

Ya know, these threads really don't get us anywhere. Everyone can poke fun, but when the tone becomes personal and nasty, it needs to end.

Its what I think we're seeing now with this one.

I check out the forum every week or so and saw this. For some reason (think I know why) my original post was rejected.

Ted,
your original post was not rejected, it was trapped in the filter because of a trigger word it contained. The filter works automatically. I don't sit here reading and approving or stopping 10 posts per second! See it edited above.

The board has deteriorated into this type of stuff and I think I know why and that is why I have stopped posting.

Not what you told me via email. We have always had some bickering on the board. It is called human nature.
You became offended when I moved a thread from the Lounge that asked a specific S&W gun question. Remember? I have moved many threads since that were posted in the Lounge by newer members, just as I predicted, to the gun forums.

Later, you got very offended when I deleted Caj's "thank you" thread to you, based solely on the language it contained, and NOT because it was for YOU. I would have deleted that thread if it was thanking ME, or anyone else on this board. You can see where Caj and I discussed it here in The Office- http://smith-wessonforum.com/e...590103904/m/66410742

Remember the email you sent me, saying I had treated you like a child, because my answer was not lengthy enough when I moved the gun question, so you would just "bow out"? I sent you what I considered a complete explanation of the whole misunderstanding, and you never replied. I still have the emails, so if you would like a refresher, I can post it all for you.

I think you simply needed a problem, and decided you and I had one.
As I explained to you then, with you having a post count approaching 4000, and us never having tangled, I could not understand how you felt so persecuted......

So, if you like it here, feel free to come by.
If you don't like it here, don't feel free to drop in occasionally and drop vague remarks about "you think you know why" this is happening or that is happening.
