Be honest, you're just wondering if he's ever going to post a winner. Now that you mention it...I never went back to check that thread, I just assumed I lost yet again... https://cdn.meme.am/cache/instances/folder494/66510494.jpg I don't think a winner was ever picked for the October contest either which ran well into November. |

Not a post, but it appears that there was some communication:

Sucks. I always enjoyed Mark's posts. This BS cost Arfcom a chunk of money from me this year. Went from Platinum down to Bronze.

Sure was nice to have easy access to the owner of such a fine company.
Bummer, but I guess there are pussies in every crowd nowadays who get their feelings hurt easily. I've read a lot of old threads with Mark involved and I don't recall reading anything from him that wasn't as a result of someone starting shit with him. |

[#10]
So does Mark have a new online hangout? Pm me if something is available.

[#11]
OK, I'm confused. WTF isn't Mark posting anymore? I obviously missed this drama....

Could be health related. I know he was eating better and losing some weight. Cutting out the sugar and soda most likely.

Maybe a New Years Resolution.
I'm just waiting to see the Larue Banner at the top disappear and the Larue forum to have an X on it. |

I think he's just tired of the shit that flows his way. In the barrel give away, he gave away over $100k in barrels (at list prices). The upper kit he gave away every month. I ain't saying he is perfect but I don't recall any other sight sponsor giving away anything, much less all he did. He is reading some stuff though. He emailed me a question about something I posted.
I thinks it's like when married people separate but us kids are involved so he can't truly break away |

As I stated before, I will not renew my membership here unless Mark returns.
Then again he did start his own company to make better products, maybe his own forum on the website? |

That's the thing. Assholes don't like being out assholed, edgy angry personas do not like being out edged, and a certain group here with a common avatar theme are the core roots of this problem. Funny how's its always mark's fault when they were the ones that started things to begin with. View Quote http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_219/279660_Barrel-break-in.html&page=1 |

This question got answered, quite thoroughly View Quote But also in that thread, the OP was called a troll, before Mark concurred with the first reply Mark said posted that "smells a rat", and GSL - bless his heart - posted no less than four times asking the OP to shoot the LT barrel at SHOT even after the OP confirmed that he would not be going to SHOT. By the way, here is that OP asking Ballistic Advantage for their barrel break in procedures. Also, the OP was able to find break in procedure from Citerion. You should check out the work that OP and another ARFCOMer did with the information he used from Mark.

... and that link was only posted to get people worked up. It was a sarcastic dig and he knows enough about Larue and enough about America to find it and post it.
Don't even give it a thought or response. |

The link that slick posted to america asking about break in procedure. View Quote If you want to drag posts from a prior pit thread into this, how about addressing the popular poster (in this subforum) that accused (seriously, not joking) that America would shoot him in the back if they ever went to a range together? Dude makes an accusation like that and America had the class to leave that dispute in the Pit and when the same guy gave him shit in the barrel break thread, America stayed classy and polite. It doesn't sound to me like America is the poster whose behavior in here you guys should be worried about. |

Where in that thread did America do or say anything out of line? Nowhere. If someone wants to get upset and start carrying grudges from one thread to the next, that's their problem. America came in here, respectfully asked a technical question and despite numerous posters acting like dickheads, including the business owner, kept a polite tone and and thanked Mark LaRue for answering his query. So where exactly is Americas bad behavior or trolling in that thread that has everyone outraged? FYI, America asked the same question in 2 or 3 other forums and nobody jumped his shit.

I agree with you that the barrel break in procedure question was answered. Eventually Mark quoted the first reply in that thread as being the right procedure for LT barrel break in.

I said a year ago that if I were Mark I would bail on this place when the seriously stupid stuff started going down.
It appears that he did and I don't blame him one bit. Honestly, I am surprised he hasn't pulled his sponsorship yet and just went with a standard vendor account or even left altogether as it wouldn't hurt his sales any to do so I don't think. |

Looks to me like your the one being the dickhead by bringing this shit up again. As for America; I do agree with you that he kept his cool. That pit thread was bullshit. DPMMN got shit on and over sensitive types got way too worked up over the getting shot jab. Way too worked up. |

Interesting thread. I find it curious that Larue hasn't been posting. He likely should have stepped back from the forum ages ago and gotten someone to take care of his online presence for him. It appears he is very busy and business is good. I find most of his products to be very nice but sometimes question his pricing schemes and abhor his persona on the net. View Quote Beastiality?
