I'm not saying I'm a super-commando or any such thing. Rather the opposite. I'm pretty new, and I've never had Canadian Armed Forces training on any of these units.  All I'm saying is, burning your hand on the barrel of a rifle with a heat-shield requires a "drunk toddler" level of ineptitude, and I have a hard time buying that two of Canada's finest who were both so inept would end up at the same tiny corner of the interweb.

It's ok, you can come clean.  Crazy Chuck can't ban you from here.

If I recall, Crazy Chuck didn't ban you the first time because the IP addresses didn't line up so he wasn't convinced.

And I've never had anything to do with CAF training on anything. Closest I ever came was I went to visit with the recruiter who came to visit and advise anyone who might be interested in joining during the tail end of my graduating year in high school. I had other things on my mind.

You might not, but at least a few of us noticed that both On Guard For Thee and Omni told the same story about burning their hands on the barrels of their assault rifles in Afghanistan, and had a hard time believing that even one, yet alone two, ex-soldiers of such gross incompetence ended up at such a tiny message board.

And if anyone spent any time on the discussions about the F-35 the two of them not only took exactly the same positions but spoke about exactly the same experiences. They had exactly the same attitude, too, about that and every other topic.

None of that really matters here though.

I don't think how the other board is moderated is relevant.  And I will point out again that pissing on moderators is like complaining about free soup... If you don't like how it's done go make your own... oh... wait....

So if soup is free you must not point out if it happens to taste like ****? Sounds a little overbearing to me.

Not if you keep coming back for seconds and thirds...

Last time I checked in at the old homestead, I noticed that Pastor McFuckface had started a new thread on "Homosexuality and the Bible", and noticed that a few of you had decided to argue with her.

What y'all doing?

Why engage with somebody like that?  What's the point? Is it like one of those things where you pound your head against the wall because it feels great when you stop?

Because it's fun.  When it stops being fun, I stop doing it.  Same with Taxme and his new Holocaust denial shtick.

I really can't understand people who come on these boards to be pissed off.  Couldn't they just drop a bowling ball on their foot or something?

What you call fun, others take seriously.

I guess most of us do this for fun. Except for waldo, for whom it is a duty.

Trying to break through what's-her-name's magic bubble stopped being fun for me a long time ago.   Taxme is disgusting and ought to have been put down a long time ago.

It's not just a matter of recreation, though. For me, talking with you fine folks is an opportunity for me to hear other ideas and examine my own.  I think that trying to explain something to someone else is one of the best ways of understanding it yourself.  I really do think that I have learned a lot from my time on these message boards. And expressing myself in writing has been a big part of building confidence in myself as well.

Well, venting sometimes feels good as well.

Nice **** analogy....

Uhhhhh....

JMT edited my post, for some reason, and added a line to it.  I suspect he did so absent-mindedly.

I read your quote of me and got very afraid that I was losing my memory as I didn't remember writing that 2nd line, which also seemed tonally off from my usual style.  But when I looked again JMT had indeed edited my post.
