Once again...you are wrong....
redux,madrox,beau. it didn't take John Carper long to figure you out........................ martin
Howdy Martin,
I am pretty much done responding to you. You don't answer rebuttals, if you answer at all. You ridicule when you can, but that would not be appropriate for what I posted earlier. If I were so inclined, the ridicule that could have been laid out to you is self evident. That is not who I am. You did not delete this, obviously it is not your thread. That leaves your last commonly used method of answering an argument. To answer anything except what was posted. When you respond to the actual argument laid out above, I may respond, but I doubt it.
It is an exercise in futility.
I type slowly, and I try to reason out what I say before I post it, whether I am successful in that or not. It takes a long time to reply, because I type slowly, and I try to document what I say with other posts or threads containing information. Takes a while to find it. So when you delete your threads, it is a bunch of work gone down the drain. I am convinced, right or wrong, that you delete the threads because you cannot rebutt the argument. Or you find that you don't like others doing to you as you do unto them. In short, you take your ball and go home. In past posts I have gone out of my way to be respectful to you. I made it a point to be respectful, if for no other reason, to contrast your behaviour to that of others.
Martin, if I read it correctly, Tom said you shoot 4 hours a day, 5-7 days a week. (I can't go back and check it, because I think it has been deleted.) Anyone who shoots that much is going to get some insight into accuracy. I sincerely hope that you do, and that you can find a way to pass it on to others without bashing. It simply kills your argument, no matter how good it would be. I know I am not the only one who thinks that way. And it is not just you that I think that about. I see people all the time who simpy cannot advocate their own position without slamming someone else. It kills the argument that they try to present as well.
Regarding this quote from you:
"I was prepared to present opinions on stocks,bedding,vibrations, harmonics not from me but from some of the most knowledgeable in their field, and we found it's not worth the agravation. and this involved work from ohio,carolina, california,texas,new york and pa. not one thing from me. but you and a few others made it impossible. martin"
I am not stopping you from anything. I am literally nobody in rimfire benchrest. I have never claimed to be anybody. I have only said that I am trying to learn, and I have said that repeatedly. Nobody else is stopping you either. Folks are just sick of the bashing!!!
You can post your findings without bashing others. It is a choice. You must make that choice.
I wish you no ill, as a matter of fact, I wish you all success. I just wish you would stop with the bashing. Perhaps you will be able to advance accuracy. But that advancement will be lost because of the way you currently treat people.
I leave you with this quote from Erastus Wiman, it is useful, and appropriate.
"Nothing is ever lost by courtesy. It is the cheapest of the pleasures; costs nothing and conveys much. It pleases him who gives and; him who receives, and thus, like mercy, it is twice blessed."
- Erastus Wiman
Wishing you the best,
Greg
P.S. I almost forgot the reason I started this with the quote from you that I used. Justathought is not Beau. No kidding. He really is who he says he is, and he has said it it in his profile. He joined up at rimfireaccuracy.com using his actual name. I can understand why it seemed like Beau, they write with a very similar style, I believe the style is called APA. Beau and I have talked about the similarity.
But again, Justathought is not Beau.
