Respect is "earned" not automatic, here on this forum or any where else.  His attacks on the ASSRA and the people that VOLUNTEER their time, is DAM disrespectful in my views, so I fugued to get down in the mud with him.  My mistake, I apologize for being disrespectful ....  to all the idiots.

I'd be curious to see if in fact HE is a "card carrying" member of the ASSRA or, just a "full time forum-poster" who likes to see his opinions in print.   I don't like people who simply throw trash at others who do so much with little or no thanks....and offer no constructive solutions. 

Forum moderator .. you bet ... next time someone "drops the ball" on their club's membership and then starts to blame everyone but himself .. KICK HIS SORRY COMPLAINING BEHIND OFF THE FORUM.  Tell him to mail a copy of the "receipt" for the money order they claimed they sent. ...... failing that ... adiós! ! ! ! 

Mr. buckstix,
I believe this all started with a simple question about a club  being affiliated. Maybe the question could have been asked and answered in a nicer way but it was not, please read # 4 and # 6 of the forum rules. 

I agree that the volunteers are doing a job that a lot of others would not want to do, but that does not mean that there gods and don't make mistakes.  I belong to a lot of other clubs and know from experience that some only volunteer because of the power it gives them, not saying that's what we have in this case, just that it does happen. 

There was no reason for anyone to start name calling, all you did was let a lot of us know what kind of person you really are. And it also lets everyone know how tolerant the moderators have become of certain people. Again, my opinion is that this problem should have never gotten this far without some action being taken by one of the moderators. 

I've heard that in the past guys were banned for things like this, name calling, etc.  and a lot of members were lost because of it.  I don't doubt that some members will be lost because of this nonsense, I know for sure that some clubs will be lost, for sure the Canadian club and one that I was trying to get involved. 

I'm the type of guy that always gives others the benefit of the doubt and always willing to help when I can, when a few of the members here needed certain parts I sent them right out, when 40 rod needed some 32 casings I sent them right out.  I'm a big believer in supporting clubs, but if the officials or moderators cant control the "nice guys" on this forum like you I can see that it's not worth being a part of it. 

In fact I'm not sure I want to continue being a member as I don't feel comfortable being part of anything guys like you are a part of. I know no one is perfect, but calling or saying that a fellow member may be an idiot, then the sarcastic so called apology to all the idiots was just un-called for. Thanks.

When I was young my mom called me an "idget" I let her get away with it.  My mom.
