So I got this email from a this guy named Stephen Braddy who is a new poster here on AR15.com. On his first post he attempted to solicit advice about illegal modifications to an AR. He was promptly chastised by several posters. Since I know, as do you, that this place is frequently trolled by various LE agencies, and that LEOs are not above entrapment, I said his post "smelled like pork", no offense meant to our decent minded LEO bretheren here. Today I got an email from this young man who, in that fascinatingly sharp literate debate style honed by our modern educational system, called me a "Fucking idiot." Pretty verbose little guy, huh? Anyway, he was kind enough to include his email, his business phone number, and his cell phone number, so I called. Here is the conversation:
SB-Hello?
JH-Hi. Is this Stephen Braddy?
SB-Yeah. Who is this.
JH-Steve! Great to hear your voice! Tell me, are you in the CT or NY state area?
SB-Uhhh, who did you say you were?
JH-This is Jeff Hasner. Are you in the CT or NY state area?
SB-Why do you want to know that?
JH-Well I just thought I would come down and see you face to face.
SB-Uhh, why do you want to do that? Who are you? Where do I know you from?
JH- Come on Steve! You know me! Jeff Hasner! Are you in the the CT or NY area? I would love to come see you.
SB-Are you the guy I sent an email to from AR15.com?
JH-Of course not. Where are you?
SB-I don't want to tell you.
JH-Ah Steve, tut tut. You know what Steve? In the middle ages archers were considered cowards. Did you know that?
SB- (sounding a little nervous) Uhh, no.
JH-Ya know why? Because they hid in the back and let the guys with balls up front do all the real fighting. We have become a nation of archers Steve. Don't hide behind your computer, tell me where you are so we can have a face to face.
SB-No.
JH-Oh well.
So I hung up.
