Lets not get carried away and condemn Beligboy strictly based on a loose assoiation with someone who is pissing you off..... That's not fair. And besides, it's not his duty to give ET an attitude adjustment, ET is a grown man and only he can take responsibilty for his actions.

Hmmm, repeatedly now I have aknowledged that there is a legitimate reason to be frustrated with ET and the way he conducts himself on this forum. I have never berated anybody's skills, much less a Marine Vet. Please explain why I would not be deserving of any kindness, as you suggest. What you say about judging people by taking a glance at their friends borders on ignorance. You have the right to be angry at ET, I am my own person however and you should respect that. I'll keep your suggestion about qualified trainers in this forum in mind for when I feel I need it.

Dude, you got caught posting while associated..........chancy at best and you will not win that one.........
this particular Marine will gladly and willingly defend your right to say whatever and associate with whomever..............
you were wronged and due an apology................

Belgiboy has no part in this, and I do not associate him with Mr. Triangle.

Widge, I was not shooting at you, I do know my target and what is behind it...................HOWEVER, over that last 5 pages of this thread I scanned at least 20 relatively gross infractions of the base rules (specifically 1 and 4) of this tolerant and all accepting board.

SO IMHO, Belgiboy is due an apology, and regardless of if you agree or disagree with ET, according to the rules he has the right to his view without incurring the wrath of at least 20 relatively gross infractions of the base rules................discussion yes, differing opinions yes, personal attacks, name calling, threats and challenges......NO....afterall this is just the internet

There is some negative history with myself and ET strictly on the forum and I have no idea how this man is in real life, to my knowledge I have never met him. I think Belgiboy is a stand up guy letting us know a little more about his friend. I apologize for breaking any forum rules and ask the other mod's to review this topic and apply any warnings or other measures as needed including on my posts.

I will be happy to take any medicine I have coming in regards to this, and stand by everything I have said.

Perhaps, if the community were slightly less tolerant of being insulted and berated, you wouldn't have to complain about the methods of folks that stand up for it.

There are a great deal of really outstanding folks in this little corner of the internet. I happen to enjoy their thoughts and the forums as a whole. I'm not the guy to shut my mouth when someone we don't know wants to come by and insult everyone.

Shall we all start posting his PM's to further my point??

I don't know you from a stray dog, and I sure as hello am not going to waste band-width getting into a urinating contest,
but there is a saying regarding knowing when to put the shovel down.....................be advised.....

[ttousi]

Sorry, but I'm not going to review all 5 pages....................been paying scant attention till now. hammAR has valid points by the look of it.

You may self examine and impose your own penalties. (should you desire a formal warning for yourself PM me and I will be happy to formalize it)

For now lets just lock it
