    idahoron, let me be the first to say, that I admire you for this post. It takes a big man to do what you just did. I did not start this thread to create trouble, or bashing or anything else negative. I was and still am.............. bewildered at the whole thing............ amins included. I chose to keep my comments to my self because I did not know the truth of what transpired or who was involved. I STILL DO NOT.

    I joined this site for 2 reasons. First, to learn. Second , to share what I have learned. I am smart enough to know when someone is feeding a tray of cow manure to the masses. We all have ego's, I have learned how to keep mine to myself.

    I would like nothing more, than to see BUBBA50 AND 54BORE' status reinstated. One, because they truly do have soo much to offer to the beginning black powder shooter. Because that is what it is all about.

    Banishing people won't improve the entire forum or its reputation. A short "time out" perhaps, but not banishment. I'd like to see them reinstated as well.

    I have stayed out of this whole thing entirely. I have tried to read up on it when I see a post about some of the banned individuals. I would like to make a couple of comments about it. First I want to also say to idahoron that I have always enjoyed your posts. Your hunts, your pictures, and your load development. I think I have heard your heart on this recent matter, and I believe yours is in the right place. I applaud what your said and certainly know that you will be able to sleep better at night by getting it off your chest.
    I am grateful to the moderators, site managers, and the sight owner for doing their best to keep this site clean and family oriented. I am sure that it is a tough job and a hard issue. I also know it is impossible to keep everyone happy. Some folks just can't be happy unless they constantly stir the pot.
    I have not had any communication with some of those banned recently. I cannot speak in specifics on them or their character traits. However from reading past posts from bubba50 and 54 bore I will also say that permanent is perhaps too strict and those calling the shots should reconsider. None of us are perfect. I am certainly in that camp. Time has a way of changing people. Sometimes for the worse, but many times for the better.

    I know that I have certainly put foot in mouth far too many times in the past, however I usually do so in person. My sense of humor may be a bit warped at times as well. I try hard not to offend or overreact, and make every effort to improve. My daughter and wife both say I'm very condescending to others (at least on the phone) where I think it's me trying to be loud & clear enough to be understood. My 2cents worth.

    Roger was way out of his way nice and helpful to me, a new guy with a new rifle. Had me call him up and we talked for a good while.

    I've certainly been around Bubba on other forums.

    Both seemed to me to be upstanding individuals. I'm not familiar with .54bore other than him trying to learn paper patching here on this forum.

    To that comment I would have to say it is a good thing your opinion has no more authority than mine...

    I would also like to say I cannot believe a group of grown men, with similar interest, have bought into this ****. Its time for some of you to pull up your skirts, step up and be men. If you want High School Drama go watch the Disney Channel...there has been enough he said she said. If any or all of them are allowed to come back to the forum then so be it. If none of them come back it is an overall loss to forum.

    I am in frequent communication with Bubba 50 and Roger Johnson, calling Roger tomorrow on some info. Roger opened his home to me twice, to come and stay with him. We mule deer hunted and were successful, we did a lot of sight seeing, shot guns, pheasant hunted, swapped stories, and argued some over politics, but I have a deep abiding love and respect for the man. He would take nothing in return for putting me up He is the same age as my father, who has past. Now some things we did not agree on, but we just agreed to disagree, and went on. When I left after 5 days, it was very sad, for Roger and myself. Hope to get back out there someday, just to sight see and visit.

    Waarp8nt, I could not agree more! My 30 year reunion was last weekend and I DID NOT attend...Why? High School DRAMA! I used to love the castboolits muzzleloading forum..used to. I can turn the TV on and tune to CNN or any other news channel and get my fill. I have read enough here for a while. I will maybe check back in after hunting season has started and maybe get some good info. Take care everyone...hope you all work it out some how.

    Well, I'm not as familiar with them as it sounds like some are but I do miss the quality of posts they offered. It's a shame when the forum loses such members and gets replaced with the younger crowd like me, we just don't have the years of experience yet to even compare. I do appreciate the links I found in here that will lead me to other places to research. Best of luck yall.

    Thanks Yall!

    Far from stirring the pot. Someone wanted to know why he was banned... Exactly for what hes doing now. Starting trouble and doing it in an overly obsessive way.

    sorry buddy, its obvious you liked the guy, but i personally do not support him. I read his pm's to johnson. Its best that hes gone off the forum. The mods here saw what had to be done and took action and warned me to take action as well.

    yes, that is true........ He inspired me to pick up my ml. And prove others wrong. Your refusal to show me proof does not provide me with closure.............. All i see is a vendetta. Prove me wrong.

    Sorry buddy, I know you asked me in pm, but if you want proof, go to a moderator on here and ask for it. I will not be showing personal info from my site PERIOD. Better yet, ask 54bore yourself what he did to get removed on my site & on here.
