Quoted: I have unlocked Kelley's account so she can respond to your questions,clarify issues and defend her position if necessary. I would like to hear from her as well. I would like to confront Arock and DonR too! They have lost a lot of friends they use to have from the DFW crew because of their actions. Kelly is just one of them. |

As a casual observer, it is wrong to have contacted anyone outside of the family group here, if whatever photo was posted bothered anyone they could have told Ed Sr. and I 'm sure he would have settled the matter, fast. Going outside the board was not only wrong, it was stupid, very stupid.

Calling a place of employment over ANYTHING going on with the internet is asinine.
#1) It's photoshop #2) Thick skin is required on the 'net. #3) If your real life and your internet life can not forever remain seperated, then you should get off the net. |

She had my phone number, my email address and knows how to use the IM feature on this site.
If she meant no harm to me, and she only wanted the pictures removed, why did she involve my employer? She had at least three other options to use before going to my employer. Why did she choose that solution? The picture in question, that she wanted removed fro mthe server, is DonR with an Oscar Mayer logo on his shirt. TRG |

Like I said before. From now on, send the pics to me and I will host them on MY server.
KellyR and DonR may have an overly sensitive streak about being photoshopped, and I can accept that. Even if someone photoshops you in good fun (meaning, they tease you because they LIKE you), some people are so fragile that the humor gets lost. You have to have a strong ego and sense of identity to allow people like TRG and ilikelegs turn you into some digital frankenstein. I personally feel the situation could have easily been handled by just simply asking TRG in a direct, polite manner not to continue to display the pics. All things considered, if both parties agree to bury the hatchet (and I don't mean in each other's skulls), then I would say let them back, but not in any sort of management capacity. I noticed the topic didn't include Arock, nor was his account up for discussion. Of course, you can assume that my opinion there is to leave that [b] - - edited out the personal attacks - - [/b] out by the curb where he got kicked. I wouldn't let him back if this were the last gun website on the Internet and he owned all the guns. LONG LIVE THE PHOTOSHOP ARMY! |

If your skin is so thin that you can't stand to be photoshopped, then don't leave the house (or participate in internet discussion boards). Contacting an employer was stupid, it could have ended up much worse.

Where is Arock, is he gone?
It's like on the school playground: one 1st grade kid wipes a booger on another kid. All of a sudden, someone is crying and the teacher is involved. Now everyone on the playground knows that the teacher is going be punishing some kids. Doesn't really matter if the upset boogered kid specifically requested it or not. This is why by the time kids get into 6th grade, they know to deal with issues without the teacher. "They follow the code of the playground". I guess that the internet has become our playground and the code was broken. |

I wanted to add that TRG didn't do anything wrong, therefore, his Mod status should be unaffected.
As Staff, a person has access to more information about an account. If that Staff member cannot be trusted with information about a member's account and shows their willingness to call an employer over some personal issue, then they can never hold that position again. |

As an outside observer--I was in Finland--I was very disturbed by this. I have always gotten along well with Arock and have spent a lot of time with him because I wanted to learn some things from him. If this is going to be like the DTHOR madness, where a good person goes way over the line then I must say that I will be sorry to see him go and I will miss him and his family, but we have important things to do and we must move on. As for DonR and KellyR, take a break, get your shit together and lets move on.
Get a grip and enjoy life, I know it ain't all roses some times, but the only thing we have to look forward too is a pine box so we should hold on to our friends. So let's restore our TEXAN reputation of friendship and hospitality. You guys have a great rep world wide and you are fucking it up. Let's ignore the little shit and move on. Arock this is for you too. Try to get your head out of your ass and lets move on some stuff that we talked about. |

ilikelegs,
I have spoken with Arock and DonR several times off the board. I am not discounting anything you are feeling and my remark was not meant to be smart assed. It was meant to show that I myself am not perfect and am more than willing to forgive these once proud family members. I understand your trsu was violated...that was wrong. But people fuck up, and if they learn from their mistakes then I will except them back. Sgtar15 |

Well here's what I think:
The photo's were not posted on AR15.com. They were posted at FullAuto.com. So,I do not see why it was even brought to AR15.com. Another thing is,I do not understand why EdSr and Goatboy were called nor do I understand why the Dean was called either. There are always people being photoshopped on this board and other boards. I truly feel it wasn't handled properly. And I also feel that KelleyR and Arock need to apologize to TheRedGoat for even going to his boss about this. It simply could have been handled between TheRedGoat,Arock and KelleyR. No one else should have been involved in it in the first place. It really and truly makes me wonder who I can trust now that this has happened. I mean,when people get others involved and stuff like this. It's a wonder there is still a place to chat on the net. how do we know that something like this will not happen again? Mona |

With all due respect sgtar15, you know that Arock did some other things in the middle of this to avert the negative attention he was getting. He directed that effort at me and I will never forget it, or forgive him for that. His attempt to 'wag the dog' was laughable, and it showed how low of character he really had.

I Know this could have been handled in a different manner. However I do not think that what TRG did was in anyway innocent. I had ask him not to PHOTOSHOP and he did.

Being that the parties involved were Staff/Moderators, I believe they should have taken action through the board, and not on a personal level.
Personally taking it to TRG's employer, contacting the Police, etc. shows they were out to cause harm, not remove the pictures. A simple phone call, email, or IM would have stopped all of this in less than 5 minutes. They should have emailed TRG, EdAvilaSr, other staff, etc. asking that the pictures be removed. Before further action was be taken. (remember: some of the pictures were not photoshopped at all. In fact, they respected DonR enoungh NOT to post all of them... I've heard about them, but never saw any of them.) |

But if you are gonna call me a friend and then stab me and another friend of mine in the back, that's where I go all out against you. I liked DonR a lot in the past. He was a friend of mine. I have never betrayed him. I knew he did not want to be photoshopped and never did photoshop him. We spent a lot of time IM'ing each other in the past. I had a lot of respect for him. But he went behind our backs and did a lot of things to cause trouble for us. I want to cut him some slack, but I know too much. Arock is a different story, I'll never forget or forgive him. They both have gloated that they hope this would break up the DFW crew and gunstock. This will never happen. I have real friendship with the core group of the DFW crew. We have a good thing going with the DFW crew. I am glad I am part of it. Its not about just one person, its the group of us that makes it special. I pitty Arock, he has lost it. And he has lost the respect and friendship of many |

Get rid of the moderators who pulled this stunt permantly. What they did showed a lack of good sense, good taste and good ethics.
If personal insults were allowed in this thread, I would say they were stupid, but since I cannot say that I will say that the moderators in question demonstrated an incridible ability to take actions that indicate a below average intelligence and created a situation that could have not only harmed the targete of their vendetta, but the board that we all like to spend time on.

The individuals who thought that they'd been sleighted KNOW TRG. They KNOW him, he's not an unknown quantity. They KNOW him. How God-damned bizarre is it to telephone the police, his employer, and other authorities over some photographs that most of us just didn't care about in the first place? That's just insane.
Couldn't it all have been resolved with a simple telephone call to TRG instead of all of these outside parties? How hard would it have been to just ask him to remove the photographs? Would it really have been that difficult to SPEAK with someone who was considered your FRIEND? I really don't see anything malicious in anything TRG did. Can't say the same for the others. |
