    Well, ok then

    I wanted to say that I really enjoy this forum but today is my last day. Apparently posting a screen shot off the news is deserving of an infraction. Nice talking to ya'll.

    I've inadvertently ended up in the penalty box before. It's survivable.

    Just be careful not to get put on double secret probation. That could be problematic.

    Many of us have had an infraction at one time or another. Think this through. Being a member since 2013, I think you know this is a swell bunch of guys.

    I learned the hard way;
    If ya can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

    Although it was what I said, not posting a screen shot.
    I HATE auto-correct

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    Been there done that. Would you stop driving if you got a speeding ticket. My grandfather used to say.... it’s not the mistake, it’s how you deal with it.

    This is not an airport, no need to announce your departure.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Had an infraction myself for something I thought shouldn't matter that much. BUT, the upside of being here has rewarded me with a thousand fold more than I will ever be able to properly repay. Just like the Army a little KP never killed me. So please stick around.

    There was a thread awhile back about getting spanked,
    and some regular poster who'd been here for at least 10 years bragged about never having received an infraction.

    -----So one of the moderators of the day gave him one.

    ever notice that it seems most Texas rangers kind of look the same? you know they got those cowboy hats that are kind of like white and almost all of em seem to haver kind of like a white button down shirt, and like kaki pants and uh corse cowboy boots. but every once and a while you see one and he's got a checkered shirt on.
    yeah we all not the same and try to follow the rules but sometimes get involved in saying something we might regret.
    but one thing we all probably gots in common is we all like shooting them casted bullets out the gun

    I thought getting an infraction meant that somebody finally acknowledged your existence? :shrug:

    I don't understand why someone feels the need to announce they are leaving because they got their feelings hurt. Just leave or don't.

    I don't know why folks get so butt hurt by getting an infraction. I've had one or two over the years usually for doing something I did not realize violated site SOP. I wasn't banned or suspended and guess what, it doesn't even show up on my driver's license. As for all those that seem to feel the need to stomp their feet and slam the door on the way which is the choice they made, so long, see ya, it's been real!

    I dont understand wanting to discuss on an open forum what should be between the person and the moderator or in some cases number 1. On the open forum its going to change very little while a private discussion may have more of a chance.

    A few years back a large group left forming their own site. Most are missed but it didnt change a lot

    We all make mistakes from time to time, let's just let him go his own way if that's what he really wants to do.
