I forgot to add that it's 10 hr. days plus 40 minutes travel each way from my camper and 3 hours from home.

No thanks. I like my 3 and 2, 3 and 2, 3 and 2.......sucks getting up at 3:45 AM but the long weekends make it worthwhile.

Try my 7 and 0 with 75-100 hours per week for the last month.

EDIT: And yes I am bitter and bitching excessively. I'll shut up now. Thanks.

 

[Idoono]

Well it is 72 hours a week (6-12 hours days) during refuel outages. But the rest of the time....... :rockon:

What happened to the "Who We Going to Pick On Today" thread?

It was me, I should have never commented. The things I said were offense to others and it looks like they deleted it. I must apologize for my comments. I hope I did not earn the ignore button from anyone for my misconduct. I hope we can still all get along...........

I am here to offend others if you cannot wear your big boy pants and are that easily offended..you said nothing wrong...seems we are the new PFF, anything said they did not like you were gone and the thread closed..pretty sad if you ask me.

yep most forums are becoming liberal bastions, God forbid you hurt the feelings of the local liberals, meanwhile they can attack our Christianity and way of life!

I'll try to explain it from hopefully an angle you guys can understand.

This is not restraint, this is not siding with left or right politically or swaying the forum to whatever agenda the powers that be think it should.

This is about the tone, appearance and reputation of GCGF. The forum's original intent and reason for being is guns, the shooting hobby and camaraderie of like minded people.

My dad is a very wise man and one of his best tips in life is "stay away from politics and religion in polite company, better yet, keep it out of public places".

Those two subjects never end well when discussed. Ever. And I'm worse than anyone, I can guarantee you I've fought more on line over those two issues than 99% of the people on this forum, maybe 100%. But, though I have slipped a few times myself here, I do not shit in my own back yard. Ian doesn't want us shitting in his. And he is right.

These free for all's end up with personal attacks, childish bickering , hurt feelings, threats, and generally make this forum look like an electronic sewer. This is going to stop or Ian will pull the plug and next time it ain't coming back. Period.

Especially in this day and age we need every ally we can get in the fight against gun control and confiscation. There are people every day thinking about getting their first firearm, they do a search, they find on line resources such as these forums and they get their first taste of the "gun culture". Will we get another member for our team (team being gun owners or just pro 2A types) with friendly people, informed people, people with a common goal and solidarity or will they see a bunch of whiney, out of control crybabies arguing over stupid nuances?

One reason this stuff gets out of control is name calling and labeling. Liberal, conservative, right wing, left wing. Wake up folks, I know hard core right wing conservatives that don't like guns, I also know liberals that will defend the second amendment with their life. These labels are bullshit, there are thousands of shades of gray, very little black and white.

If I could afford it I would start another forum for locals just to argue politics and religion. You could come here for guns and then go there and duke it out. I would love nothing better than to discuss this stuff with a lot of you guys but it just can't and it will not mix on this forum.

No one is infringing on your free speech rights, you ain't got none on here. This is a privately owned entity, Ian calls the shots. He (and we mods) are not and do not intend to stifle your thoughts, we are not agreeing or disagreeing with any particular members. I'll openly state that I'm way right of center politically and consider myself a Christian (though a very poor one as I've displayed often) but I am tasked with, and I will, hammer anyone I completely agree with if they break rules.

Get over it. Joking is fine, tell dirty jokes, post wild pictures and show us your best bikini shots in the appropriate areas. Talk about what you want on this thread or others but keep it light, keep it non offensive, keep it within guideline but stay out of politics and religion and stay away from personal insults. If you break any of those rules one of us mods will take action and let Ian sort it out later. I would rather him pissed off at me than pull this forum.

After this I will not tolerate any member labeling another member with a political label if used to provoke emotion, same for religion and I damned sure won't let innuendo or insinuations made towards the owner of this site slide by.

Well done.

Yes, I didn't have enough back up last Sunday though. Cough, cough! The Alabama turn out was low, but Alabama did have their best two representing Stanley and myself. :wave:
