Deletions

squatty

If you can't see the elephant, that's good.

As you stated, it's far too unpleasant to discuss and even more unpleasant to initiate such a discussion. Probably should never be discussed, but if we quit feeding the elephant it might leave on its own.
 
Wilbur,

I think I did ask you what if would cost to have one of those rolling ads for the book. I won't swear I did, and I know if I did it was in a post. But I do know that I said $3 was not sufficient to assume you could post what you want for an advertisement. It doesn't much matter now unless you could do one for 15-20 days.
 
Since Fred has had problems thinking that I am advertising here, which in a way I am and a way I'm not because there is nothing to gain, and I am a match director, I would think that, if I didn't know his love and respect for me, he may be aiming that at me.

I will say this on behalf of any match director out there. If you're given the chance to help, and I always offer anybody the job of plugging or rough scoring, and you don't take it, don't complain. Also, there's always a two minute review period. So, it's really on you.

wally has allowed me to help plug and rough score targets at the matches. i learned alot last summer, and still have much to learn. i'm sure it will take years and i'll still be learning.
 
Hello Wilbur,

I have an easy solution for all the bickering here on the forum. Have all the men here that are married, take their wives to the oncologist and get the bad news! That pretty much puts things in proper perspective! Watch her battle the cancer for nearly seven months and the Dr tells you she has won. Experience the joy that comes with that only to have him tell you 6 months later the cancer is back only this time in her liver!

You guys need a reality check. I don't know how many of you have met Wilbur in person, but he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He has provided a forum here for our enjoyment, and what do many do? Bicker, B****, moan, groan, and finally whine! GET A REAL LIFE!!!

You sure did and I appreciated the offer. I told Douglas that he could, and should, mention the ad on this forum and to ignore the auto-invoice the classified program sent. It was a freebie all along. I knew what was gonna happen going in and again it's no biggie. Glad to be of assistance if only in a small way. Perhaps I can cash in big on the second printing....:)

As for yourself, you have unselfishly posted to this forum for a long time. There's an article you wrote in the article section and countless well thought posts. I couldn't possibly pay what that's worth but I can thank you so very much!

So sorry that Y'all are struggling with that kind of evil. Our hopes and prayers are that your wife comes out a winner again. Call me if you need a friendly voice or anything else.

Yes, that would certainly change many of our perspectives, respectives, collectives, and all other 'ectives.
 
Hi Wilbur,
i hope that you are ok with me doing a review on the Forum as i think this would be a good way of promoting Target Shooting Forums like yours, there are always new shooters coming online and its good for them to know were to go for the best info.

Mike,

I feel that you are a friend that I haven't met yet. I cannot add much to the kind heartfelt words of Wilbur to you. I can understand what you are feeling somewhat. You see my wife is entering her fifth month of chemotherapy out of six. We are looking forward to our golden wedding anniversary next June.

It does put the small stuff in a perspective where it belongs. Maybe we just thought there was an elephant in the room and it was just good people wanting to be heard.

We are all with you in our thoughts and prayers.

Bill
 
Mike:

Sorry to hear about your wife's problem... You and your family will be in our prayers..

Since I am a Centerfire Shooter, I rarely read the Rim Fire Forum, so I do not, as a SuperModerator, get involved in deleting posts that are not up to the conduct standard's that are expected on Benchrest.com.

Perhaps the reason the other Forums seem more civil is because myself, and other Supermoderators, are able to catch rude or other wise unacceptable behavior before it ever gets out, simply because we frequent those Forums more often.........jackie
 
Hya Jackie,

do you want another job and take care of the Rimfire:D

Wilbur thank you and all the rest for the kind words. I did not post that to bring attention to my self or my wife's situation, but to try to get people to understand this is a forum that should be used for enjoyment. Then again, I have met people who's greatest enjoyment is arguing! Doesn't matter what, just the joy of arguing.

Wilbur I went today to find that special piece of lacewood, but no luck. I haven't been able to find any that was decent, or decently price in years. I did find a South American equivelant that is called Leopardwood but is quite a bit darker and heavier. The darker color I love, but the weight I am afraid will make it hard to make weight.

Wait! Change the sporter rules so the stock can weigh 30oz and the smiths have to work around that weight! :D:D:D

Now that ought to get some started!

Mike
