| Does anyone have a link to Rodent's blog?? Somehow it got bumped from my Favorite Sites List and I NEED to re read something he wrote...and can we somehow get him back here??? |
|
I am a Christian - I loved rodent. He's free to believe what he wants to believe. I didn't see what he wrote, but hard to believe he crossed the line that much. edit: he's free to say what he wants to say, and if he wants to challenge my religion, I'm strong enough to listen without trying to get him banned... |
poser   odd....must only occur here...... 
|
Not that I wouldn't like him back, but it takes a lot to get banned here. Multiple warnings, usually a temporary time out and then a ban. |
|
Everyone has opinions and he had plenty.... unfortunatly he didnt like to back off and would sometimes dig in! He had lots of interesting information and had plenty of fun adventures which he shared.... We lost some good knowledge and some fun stories with him.... but I have a feeling the Mods gave him all the chances they could. Too bad. He has that blog, but he hasnt done anything with it for a while.... maybe he is building on that new piece of land or maybe EB tires him out too much! ETA: I still have the pic of his wood burning canoe which I was going to have some Photoshop fun with, but after he got banned I never followed thru. |

What he wrote about his new dog had me in tears: While I was away on a business trip, my soft-hearted bride thought it would be a good idea to visit the dog pound and bring home a half-starved Great Dane with fleas and a broken tail. They charged her a $375 "adoption fee". That's after the vicious/disease-ridden/disfigured discount. We had him neutered ($300) and the tail amputated ($600). I call him Stumpy Sadsack now. We bought him a crate ($200), but he didn't fit in it, so we special-ordered the biggest crate they make ($300). He pulled the bandages off his tail and wagged a truly remarkable amount of blood on the entire interior of my truck, my pants, coat, hat and gloves, our son's pants and coat, the leather chair, ottoman and sofa, all the kitchen appliances and cabinets, two Oriental carpets, four walls and even the ceiling. It became infected, so we had it shortened again ($600). I didn't keep track of what the vaccinations, heart worm pills and flea medicines cost. The thing stands with all four feet on the ground and drinks out of the kitchen sink. Our son (hereafter known as "Private Root Beer") wears his ski helmet most of the time because it frightens him when the new dog takes his head in it's mouth. It doesn't bite him, it just slobbers his entire head. When he passes by, he flattens himself against the wall and says "Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me." When Stumpy Sadsack fights with our old dog, my job is to wrestle him into a submissive posture on his back while my wife jumps around flapping her arms and yelling "Don't let him win!". She bought me a Dog Whisperer DVD to show me how easy it would be if I did it correctly. If I express anything other than rapturous enchantment with our new canine friend as I'm picking up turds the diameter of beer cans, I'm sure she would burst into tears. |
that's not true..... see armory post for arolfsen |
Not true for IPSCguy. Depends on what you did, and who you are. |
And who you pissed off. |
. Sent me a box with all the pieces and everything.
I do miss the Private Root Beer updates. Some of those were hilarious!! |
Dont forget the mutt had big eyebrows! |
Unless one of us has the spelling wrong: ipscguy is an account that was never locked. arolfsen is a second account of someone who still has an active account here. Rodent had been locked, unlocked, warned without being locked and then locked again I thought his outdoors posts were great too. Course I thought MarkM was usually funny and his posts about shooting were sensible, but no matter how many times you asked him to stop doing certain things....[shrug] |

I miss his posts. He has writing talent and I appreciate the link to his blog. I admit he could be as subtle as chucking a hand grenade into a fish tank at times, but that was part of his "charm". He also went into the woods and lived deliberately, not that he was a Thoreau type. Frankly, I think if he went back in time he would have stopped off at Walden Woods long enough to credit some of what Thoreau was doing ("Nice fucking cabin, Henry!"). I also think he wouldn't have been able to resist savagely mocking Thoreau for Thoreau's inability to get laid. Hence, the paradox that was once called Rodent. |
OK guys, this really isn't the proper forum for this thread. We do kind of consider this a technical forum. Us controlling it as we do is a main reason none of those folks you mention were banned for posts in this community of forums. I'd move this to GD but I think the OP question is answered and it seems the more you guys venture out of here the more disappear . I'm going take for a lock. Thanks for your cooperation. Tj
