Our forum, though young and growing, has been a success and will continue to be a success as time goes on. We have many great people that contribute and are very positive within our community.
I think it’s important to see why our forum is as good as it is. If you have the time, go to the following links and see just how we don’t want to be and we will never let it get to such level.

But that’s something that we need not be concerned with because the members of this forum don’t stoop to such levels. And of course it’s quite obvious who the instigator is in the threads and usually always is.
What you do see is that not everybody agrees with him but he of course has his way of countering with some sort of disagreement and most people don’t or won’t even want to argue with him and rightfully so. With Steve, being the manipulator that he is, you are just not going to win and he knows it. So you are better of just not saying nothing. I for one readily understand that. Well I’m one person that he can’t manipulate, influence or intimidate and he can’t stand it and would do anything possible to bury me because I’m a thorn in his ego. Hey… it isn’t going to happen.
The thing that amazes me is the forum owner has some very strict forum rules about trolling, bashing and flaming but it applies only to the majority and a select few can do as they please without any retribution or worry about any post deletions. Very hypocritical and I wonder just why he would even have rules and regulations if they don’t apply to everybody. Even some on their own members question it and it’s very easy to see why but are very careful of what they say.
It quite apparent that there are a couple of people from the YP's that like to keep up with their trolling, bashing and flaming. They come to our forum and take posts to their forum and distort what is said or present things out of their context to fit their agenda. Most people know that and when reading it and then read the original content some of them when pointing it out get flogged for it.
[Example’s] from Steve-in-NC’s post
On another forum, a allegedly "professional tuner" is trying to explain away a customer's question about a post-tune Gamo CFX that was delivered developing only 7.2fpe, as being not HIS fault, but simply normal gun-to-gun variation!
No where in my post did I say anything or was there anything mentioned about “not being my fault†or that in the case of that CFX that it was “simple gun to gun variationâ€
[example] ...that no problem exists - that the anemic performance is perfectly normal for the CFX.
No where did I say or imply that this was normal. I even told the owner of the gun that it was not normal and that I didn’t know why.
Example: His hilarious "explanation" reads (in part): "...not all CFX's are the same for sure. I believe the Gamo CFX is a very good gun but one of the things that seems to be unique about the CFX is there is a lot of variation in velocity from gun to gun..." and "...when I finish up a CFX, I never know what to expect in velocity with any certainty...".
That was no explanation of anything. I never know what to expect. It can run anywhere from the low the low 800’s to as high as the low to mid 900’s in some guns. It’s just another case of Steve manipulating words to fit his agenda. Then of course there are the few of the parasites that hang their hats on it and ride the wave.
Those are just a few examples and it goes on and on.
That is to be expected from Steve-in-NC as well as a couple of others. There was one person that came over here and made a post and then ran back to the other forum and bragged about what he did and posted what he did there. How's that for a cripple?
They are just lurk like animals in a hole just waiting for the least opportunity to strike out. Their sole intent is to discredit and attempt to destroy me and my character but it will never happen.
Another person over there claims that I wrote something that he brought to light about the lead particles and the rotary breech. From his post… “what I told Jock on the main many months ago about shearing off pellets with the load portâ€. That information has been around for a very long time and most tuners are well of it, not just with the Gamo’s but a couple of other models as well. He hasn’t discovered or pointed out anything that has for the most part been known for years but to hear him talk, he just invented the wheel. This guy, who has been around for all of about 8 or 10 months seems to have discovered and/or has the answers to all the problems in the airgun world. He has not made a point of one single thing that I haven’t seen or most others that have been around for awhile haven’t seen in the past other than marketing. He must thing that other people are idiots. The most that he does is bring to light old material that the elders have known for years for new people in the airgun community and calls it his “copy write†material. There are far too many people that know better and all they have to do is look at the characters behind it. The vast majority of the mass see through his and their tactics. It's just a few of them that indulge in the activity and 99.9 percent of the people on the YP's are great people and I do miss being a part of them. I don’t miss the .1% though and would never go back even if I could.
Steve is one of the few people that I know that thinks he can walk on water but one thing for sure. Well he doesn’t walk on my water. He can bash me, flame and troll all he likes but it don’t hurt. I wonder what it’s like to be that smart and have no mentality.
It sure is nice to have a happy home isn't it. You guys sure keep a nice house and we all thank each other for it. Reach around and pat yourself on the back cuz you deserve it. As for the guy that built our house .... we all need to pat him on the back. He put our house on the block and then said "alright kids...get outside and play". A big "THANKS" Gene from all of us.

Gene/CDT:
In a thread (Back Room--Thief--#3555) I complained about someone stealing my siren, well you can call off the search, I found it! :)
I also have to admit that I clicked on the link(s) that CDT provided in the above post. I guess if steve(Ct) doesn't like that he can 'hit the button'.
On a more serious note I have been frequenting forums on various other subjects & have noticed that none of them allows the prejudicial, selective & arbitrary content that I have seen on the yellow. :0
Rant Over,
Mike

they're not supposed to allow it there either, but some are more equal than others8) :)

And it will never stop with a pompous arrogant egomaniac like him.

sounds like he's been peeping through a knot hole at a neigebor's yard and neglected the mess in his own .
