why?
OK, so what's the deal with eye95?

This,,, from His signature line.

"Let your reasonableness be known to everyone... [W]hatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."

In other words, he doesn't practice what he preaches, aka, Hypocrisy.

We all have our days, it just seems that his last longer than the rest of us experience.

I wish him well in his endeavour and hopefully he can be a positive impact on society. ;)

Yep, You posted it. Something that is COMPLETELY not newsworthy.

IF the owner of THAT particular new webpage WANTED to post here he would have been welcome too. He choose not to. His choice. I say let him go if he wants to go.

What interests you may not be what interests someone else and visa-versa. I did not post a negative statement; just a fact.

Why not post something "newsworthy" yourself...I'll give it a read.

That owner of that particular new webpage referenced this site it's members and our moderator.

I didn't know that Freud wore a slip... other than that, this is the most protracted hasta la vista I have ever witnessed. Why not just wave goodbye to the disaffected? There's been a couple of questionable calls on me, but I just put on my big boy pants and get on with my life. Nothing that has happened here causes me any ill-will toward anybody. If I don't wish to follow somebody's posts because I find them irritating, I simply place them on ignore. I find constant whining quite irritating! Pax...

OK, so what's the deal with eye95? Why is he so pissed at OCDO?

With some delicacy and consideration intended - no personal attack - there are those that wish their personal interpretation of the rules to be paramount to those of the site owners. When their posts attack the orderly operation of the forum either by direct rule violation, called decisions, or laboriously going off-topic, there are procedures in place to control that - warnings are generally given.

In this case, the level was exceeded to an exceptional degree.

There has never been any personal animosity towards him by any member of the administration.

Now that I95 is gone, could OCDO tell us, please, which way OCDO ought to go from here? I know it depends a good deal on where OCDO wants to get to. But, we don't much care where OCDO heads. And it doesn't matter which way OCDO goes, so long as OCDO gets somewhere, especially if OCDO only walks long enough.

For clarification, never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.

So, if we knew then what we know now we would not have went there?

This should clear up any misunderstanding Grapeshot may have created.

IMO it is clear where OCDO came from and where OCDO is headed. The promotion of lawful open carry of properly holstered handguns. The rest is only sidetracks that the members bring, not the staff.

I have been moderated on occasions, and managed to live with it. Eye made his own bed, I understand that the site is private property, and subject to the rules of the staff. It is their effort, their money, their time. They are not the government, they are a business that promotes liberty, but within their framework.

The owners are both attorneys and executive members of VCDL: John Pierce and Mike Stollenwerk, John acts as the Administrator.

I answer the phone, take messages, push buttons, and serve at their pleasure. I do operate with a proprietary interest foremost in my mind. Called decisions are subject to review and reversal - that hasn't happened yet. Would consider that a failure on my part for not accurately concluding what John and/or Mike would want.

From what other site(s) has the individual been banned?


Oh ok, thanks for the clarification.

So, has John and/or Mike approved your new site title? Personally, I'd wear it with pride. :lol:


The other site was ALOC (AL Open Carry). It was couple years ago, it was before my time there. You may recall that eye made some pretty harsh comments here on this site towards the ALOC owner (named Jason I think) in several threads in the OCDO AL sub forum.

Rather than feed the ego, maybe we should all "move on" and let this topic die.

I have promises to keep.

Think of this as the socializing before the ceremony.
