    Top bloke alright. Hope he comes back on.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Funny how people give him shit but they aren't half the contributors he was! Surely the amount he contributed counts for something.

    Sometimes it is just a matter of upsetting the wrong person. I have seen someone else banned because of this.
    I too enjoyed his posts on here. Perhaps next time he will come back as a decent rifle?

    Life isn't where everyone holds hands and sings along together.

    The bannings on forums I've seen have been for good reasons at the time. If the threads and messages were turned into a conversation spoken aloud face to face, punches would've been thrown ages ago. If for example someone is sending a message saying you're a complete fucking wanker who deserves a swift kick to the head and I MEAN IT YOU @#$%^ I'M GONNA SMASH YOU BRO, then the question has to be asked does this person need to be on the forum. Note: for those who can't read, that was a random example only, I've no idea what was said to who, nor do I care.

    Forums are not a democracy and never have been. You choose to join, choose to follow the rules and the people running the forums choose who can play in the sandpit with others nicely, and who can't. It's a thankless job running them, and those who do get banned usually feel it's not fair.

    Tough shit. Go play someone else or play nicely under a different name, or face an IP ban.

    Another way of thinking about it is if you had this conversation in front of the Police or you arms officer would you expect to keep your FAL especially if it wasn't a one off occurrence ?

    Is it acceptable behaviour ?

    yeah I always think "would I say it in person" when posting.

    If I wouldn't say it or there is some doubt then I don't hit post.

    "A closed mouth can gather no feet." No point in arguing on the internet anyway everyone already knows I am right !!!!!

    Someone one told me to treat the internet as tho my grany and a police Oficer were looking over my shoulder.

    I think it was good advice

    The internet is as gay as shit in the way you mean it.

    Everything you say or do is findable so keeping the rules of the world we live in eg the police in mind is just sensible

    Good for me my grany is VERY keen on exploring life so it's more about being nice than censoring activity.
