Some are clearly egging him on, it's up to you to read it, but I prefer the Ghost town to this BS. Eye is back ya all get the F over it! Eye some people don't like you get the F over it. ALL of you stop the petty bickering, you make open carriers look like escapees from the insane asylum.

We are all insane. It just depends which group of fruitcakes are in charge as to how things will turn out.

... before anyone except Da Chimp.

Three fingers of the accusatory fist accuse the accuser. J’accuse...! (1898 open letter by Emile Zola to Franz Felix Faure, President of France)
As I have stated before, one of two things will end this:

1. The two resident trolls knock off the trolling, obviating my desire to respond.

-or-

2. The site owner (or any staff he chooses) starts moderating the off-topic trolling and, yes, even my responses to that trolling.

In the irony of ironies, you are complaining about my complaining. You really should be wanting moderation also!

Or 3. Do what any other site owner would have already done at your attack he cant run his own site and permanently ban you.

You really need climb down of your nonexistent mountain before that happens. Cuz you won't last a week on any other gun forum.

Actually, it started with your trolling (and that of another). For a while, I just took it. Then I started reporting it. Your trolling was not moderated, so I started responding.

It is about us, you, me, the other troll, and also (partly) those who won’t allow the simple request for moderation to stand, but instead, choose to continue a negative back and forth.

Once again, there are two things that will end this:

1. The trolls stop trolling. I will have no need to respond to the trolling if there is none.

-or-

2. The site staff moderates the trolling (and any replies to the trolling). If we can trust the staff to delete off-topic, trolling, and personally attacking posts, there is no need to reply. At the moment, we can’t.

Until one of the two above happens, I intend to give trolling or personally attacking posts rational, but blunt and harsh, replies.

My suggestion to you: Get back on topic, and I won’t have reason to criticize your posts. It really is that simple. You up for that? I am.

If you want power you may want to consider joining Buckeye Firearms Forum. You could post all the WHIO stories you want, comment on them, argue with yourself and you can complain about yourself. You can even respond to your own trolling.

I am not after power. I just want to express my ideas free of trolling by you and another.

BTW, you do realize that almost every non-local story from WHIO has an AP copyright, just as from most other news outlets?

I thought you were a tad brighter than the other troll. I never bothered to point that out to him, but I figure that you have the ability to grasp the concept.

Unfortunately you keep forgetting
3. John gets fed up with your critism of how he runs HIS site and makes you disappear.

Might ought think on 3 while you still have the option. Unless of course you don't care.

Eye95 you are exhibiting even more decompensating and bizzare behaviour ...

Are you alright

Talk about bright. If you were actually paying attention to content, you would have realized when I respond to the story I cite the actual AP story that WHIO relied on. Unlike you, I go to the source. Focus eye95, focus.

Considering that he has already read my posts, and the posts of the trolls to whom I am reacting, and has done nothing, I really don’t think he will, at least not without talking to me first. I don’t think he is that kind of guy. Your thinking that he is that kind of person is what would be insulting.

Not insulting in my opinion as I know of no other site admin or owner who would have swallowed the insulting arrogant guff you tossed at John one min and you would be history for good. Personally I think he has the patience of Job. Or else you would be a afterthought already

Ever think maybe he doesn't see a problem letting his site not be an overmoderated dying site like several others today are?

Nope. I’d prefer for John to tell me what his intent is, not you. Talk about arrogant.

And this site is definitely dying—and it is having to deal with unmoderated trolls that is killing it.

BTW, if you don’t like the nature of this convo, why do you keep it going? Don’t get me wrong. I want you to keep it going. You and the two trolls are helping me make my point.

Eye95, has the thought, based on your irrational behaviour, ever crossed your mind, even briefly that the one screaming the loudest is the actual perpetrator by engaging in childish rants of name calling; constantly posting arbitrary & contradictory opinions in the same thread and then getting enraged when questioned for clarification; lambasting the owner as well as degradation of their site ~ even as this individual reinstated you as a member here!

That you might be a significant contributory factor to your own woes?

These are actually hilarious posts, reading this page again: :ROFLMAO:

... before anyone except Da Chimp.

We are all insane. It just depends which group of fruitcakes are in charge as to how things will turn out.

But it's really a question of, are we bigger than this? Can everyone including Eye95 and Solus exist in the same space? I hope so. All it takes is just stopping the flow of name calling in both directions. And probably letting this thread die. Either that or make it extra funny.

Either way, my attention span is a little too long and I'm a little too calm and set in my ways to get in a huff and go find another forum over a little squabble and some semi-comical breaking the fourth wall. Screw that! I ain't going forum hopping. The grass is never greener - I'm settled right here.
