    Doesn't say a lot for this forum when someone gets banned for asking questions about things that others have said. Undermines the whole principle of freedom of speech and thought in my view.

    sood, welcome to the forum. head on over to the "introduce yourself" thread. looooong history with that particular user, we're a friendly bunch (mostly).

    p.s. do you realize that your username, if you reverse it in Afrikaans, spells something pretty derogatory

    I agree. The amazing part is that all of you bitching and moaning were also helping to stoke the fire so to speak. If he had been ignored then he wouldnt have posted half the stuff he did.

    As i said before... Fucking amazing

    Colour me very cynical but it seems to me that your arrival here has been particularly well timed in the prevailing circumstances. Is that you by another name Richard?

    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

    Think he would get on better by not continually asking questions that the average Joe Bloggs cannot answer. It often gets read as a personal attack by whoever reads it. Kind of harassing with questions. Might be good for what he is doing but not here.

    Well if the Admin on here has banned him from discussing his views... what else can he do but ask questions ?

    I agree with sood... very bad look for an open forum when someone gets harassed and then banned just for asking for questions ? Is this a forum or a side-show for despots ?

    Gosh there seems to be an influx of new members defending this position or am I just being cynical as I said in a previous post?

    Yes, I agree to a point. What I'm trying to say is he does have a habit of just asking questions. A different manner could improve his acceptance a great deal. Somehow he just seems to inflame a lot of people.

    Exactly, and I'd better start hobbling away as quick as I can before TR finds my earlier reply to you re the cuppa'.

    Oh that's easy. Its a hunting and shooting forum.
    Discuss hunting and shooting.
    Leave personal agenda out of it and politics religion no worrys.

    I asked for a legal definition of a right but he couldn't give one or ignored it, and just kept on with silly questioning.
