I'm thinking that it's time out time for me.

At first, yes. It was very interesting, doing my amateur psychological analysis of all of those imbeciles. But, it very quickly just became an endless stream of death threats and racial slurs and nothing else. There was really only one interesting charactor that I enjoyed talking too.....A mixed race guy who felt trapped in "No mans land" as he put it. "It's hell trying to make friends in a place where everybody hates everybody and don't nobody identify with me." I'll never forget that.

Honestly, I felt sorry for him.

Don I don't think we need moderation, Finn pretty well nailed the problem and my simple approach to people like that is simply to ignore them. Much as I try to be a reasonable christian I never ever could take Paul's admonition to suffer fools gladly (wonder it he meant Gladly the cross-eyed bear?)

I think self moderation is the only way to go.

(Thanks for the work you do Don.)

Thanks, but it ain't much. It's more like a computer game. I figure out the spammers' tricks and try to beat them to the punch. For every spammer that makes a post, there are about five that get smoked beforehand. Ain't nuthin' like smoked spam.

I imagine!

I know a guy who's against interracial marriages. And he's from WV.

What a stereotype? But, he's the nicest guy, and has helped kids from all backgrounds including putting them up in his home on a regular basis.

If you ask, he'll tell you that in middle school his best friend was interracial. And killed himself because he didn't fit in. You can see the pain still. So, he's against it because he doesn't want to see kids in that place.

Eventually, I think such things will fade. But, it's rough on the first few generations, unfortunately.

I'm more of a Jack O'Connor guy myself when it comes to high-powered rifles. That said, I mostly shoot blackpowder nowadays.

My buddy told me that Elmer Keith's idea of the perfect firearm was one which fired a referigerator at 800 FPS.

And after shooting a snapping turtle from atop the Rockhouse Bridge with a .45-70 with a 600 gr cast lead slug, with a max charge of 3031 in a modified Swiss T-bolt, Elmer has a point.

It's like being hit with a Mack truck.

But I tend to go with O' Connor more. Hot, fast, and flat has certain advantages. But I shoot a .25-06 and a .243.

Kinda like my .17 HMR too. Even looking through 12X glass you can be your own spotter.

Despite my affinity towards flat-shooting rifles (my deer rifle is a .270), I must admit that my muzzleloader hits hard - kinda like Thor's hammer, in fact. A 250 gr. 45 cal. jacketed bullet at 1850 fps will certainly tip 'em over.
