    Trooperbret has passed away.

    While he was banned here, I'm sure many of you here will remember him. He was a better man than I'll ever be. Rest in peace sir!

    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
    But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,

    Very sad news. He was such a great contributor to this forum.

    I have witnessed many good folks leave or get banned. Some came back, but not many.

    Prayers for his family and friends.

    I always enjoyed his posts, knowledgeable and always courteous. I believe at one time when that chat room was up and going, he was always fun and upbeat.

    Rest in peace my friend.

    Never saw the point in banning anyone from a website. Give them some time off to reflect their sins, but banning is just not right. Don't we all try and behave, follow rules and such although never being perfect? Who bans us anyway, another member? the thought police? i suppose one day I too will get axed, just for being human and humans do error. Behave yourself all you guys, I like reading your posts and would hate not doing so.

    Not sure why he was banned but I always thought he was one of the good people on this site when I joined. He will be missed.

    I used to have some good conversations with Bret both on here and through private messages it was a sad day when he was banned . He was in the same county my wife was raised in in N.Y. State talking with him I would never of guessed he was two years younger then I am .

    Prayers and condolences for his family .
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.
