[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Farewell, and stay safe.

Hey Guys....

I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for all the valuable information I have received from everyone over the last couple years.

And I wanted to say goodbye.

It seems that I have been somehow rubbing a couple of the Moderators (Lumpy196 & SGB) the wrong way, and because of the apparent conflict between us, I believe its been getting in the way of others who are asking legit questions and expecting legit answers. Our "pissing contests" have hijacked more than one thread, and for that I apologize.

Perhaps my time would be better served on another forum, rather than disrupting a great forum like ARFCOM.

Best of luck to you all. Thanks again for everything. Especailly you Aim4myhead, your information has been especially valuable. Stay safe!

Take it to the Bear Pit, that's what it's for.

Back in the day me and a handfull of select Goderators would go head to head, I left in frustration. Once they were gone, gone, gone from the site I was asked to be a Goderator, but I would not touch the general forum with a pointy stick.

I wouldn't give up that easily over a personality conflict.
You have asked some good questions and I never noticed any problems either way.
I'm sorry you feel this way and it is not the Mods job to fuel arguments, if in fact that's how it happened, but to promote the site and keep things sane.
Sometimes toes are stepped on, feelings hurt...it's the 'net too.
Blow it off and stick around, even mods are human.

maybe

WHERE did I state you were "rubbing me the wrong way." Im allowed to disagree with you as much as you disagree with me. Debate is allowed around here.

Dude, seriously....wtf?

Debate is a healthy thing.

If we all agreed with each other ALL of the time... well that would just be queer.

Stick around and don't take anything personally...everyone's varied opinions are what makes this forum interesting, even if we don't always agree.

Take it from a guy who tends to piss a lot of people off around here. Don't worry about. Ask your questions, provide your input and opinions when you feel you can contribute and don't worry about it. If people have problems with you, that's their problem. If you think they are constantly 'messing" with you, ignore them. If they are personally attacking you, take it to a higher power. Just like any site, there are some idiots here and some are even moderators (I'm not saying Lumpy or SGB fall into this category). Some of these jerks will try get under your skin just to piss you off. I guess that's their sorry excuse for a life? Either way, life is too short to worry about what some guy(s) on the Internet think of you. If you leave, you are the one loosing out.

Hell, if you really think they don't like you then sticking around is your best revenge!

Bear, WTF?

Man up and stick around. Putting your tail between your legs and hauling ass isn't going to solve anything. Debate and a difference of opinions is why we have forums. If everyone agreed it would not be educational. If for one love to hear different opinions and like to look at issues/subjects from a different angle...that is how we learn.

SGB & Lumpy are great guys. If you don't agree, no big deal maybe you can learn something from them and maybe they will learn something from you. That's how it works around here. Besides, I need someone to help me lure them over to the dark side (Glocks).

Now get your ass back in here and quit being such a pussy

Don't leave, since you've been here Lumpy and SGB have been distracted and leaving me alone, now it'll be back to swirlies and having the milk money that mom gave me for lunch stolen again!

Less whiney than most, but still no MacArthur in the Phillipines.

Personnally I just post here because my wife hates this site! If she gives me a hard time about getting another firearm, I just say "well, I'll have to spend more time on AR15.com then..."
Works every time.

So does the large number of posts AFTER your good bye post mean that you're not infact leaving?

So much drama...I can't take it anymore.

Just pony up the twenty bucks, and the moderators can't fucking touch you!!..
