How sad this all is.
I don't know anything about Messers Wasserburger, DanT and Venturino other than Mr Wasserburger is a member here along with five and a half thousand others and Mr Venturino is a gun rag hack.
I also don't know what they've done to help people make and shoot paper patch boolits.
What I do know is what Brent Danielson did to help people make and shoot paper patch boolits. He took some of his life to write up what he'd learnt about the subject and make it available free of charge to other interested people via the World Wide Web. As far as I know that the others haven't been so altruistc.
So Brent your actions on this subject have far more merit in helping this pastime than the other three. Actions speak louder than words
In the www we all have to assess what value anything we read has. Some things suit some people some things suit others. It seems to me from the little I know from this thread that you allow the three gentlemen's value judgement on your web pages to have more weight than the value that hundred's if not thousands of others who visited your web pages do.
Brent why give those three such power over you?
They have quiet rightly their own view of the world, maybe Mr Wasserburger needs to be a top shot competitive shooter and sharing his hard earned knowledge and skill would jeopardise this. Mr Venturino wants to make his living as a gun writer, maybe free access to knowledge jeopardises his book and article sales. Both reasonable motivations. No one knows what their needs and motivations are, but what ever they are, they are theirs not yours Brent.
Be true to yourself Brent and do that which meets your motivation and needs not someone else's.
We are all judged on our actions. From your actions in putting up the article on the web your motivation seemed to be to share. That action was appreciated by others.
The action of taking down seems to have been motivated by the words of
three other people.
This wonderful pastime of ours is supposed to be
fun, it meets many needs in all of us but the future of the world isn't dependant on it.
We should all have a less than serious view on all this and when it gets a bit tense and emotions run high we should take a step back and get in into perspective.
So please Brent think of the people whose enjoyment of their pastime and themselves has been enriched by your actions and don't let that be spoiled and yourself upset by your response to the actions of three other shooters.
But then I'm not a top class caster, handloader writer or shooter. I have also never claimed to be good at anything so what would I know and why should you listen to me?
