Nyff that's part of his problem, the parodies and insults do and did give him personal satisfaction.

Personally I think that the order needed to be challenged but just about anyone else with a permit would have been choice to challenge it.

Over all I think Joel/Andrew and his cohorts did Joe an unintentional favor by ripping on him so much... Ever heard of the phrase "there is no such thing as bad publicity"? :D

To answer your question, no. Not that it really is a question. Or even a coherent sentence. I have a feeling there is an insult in there somewhere, though.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. You don't approve of how Joel spends his time? Ok. So?

When the DC handgun ban was challenged at the SCOTUS, they cherry-picked a candidate to do so. If you get as sympathetic of a person as possible to do the challenge, and throw enough money behind it, you don't have to worry about being set back 50 years.

So, does Joel fit this criteria?

To the detriment of other instructors, trying to increase the membership rolls of MCPPA 2003/2005 which Andrew so graciously updates via his avatar,

He sure has a real funny way of making friends and influencing people!

YMMV!

I'm sure some people got to like Joe just because Joel doesn't. It's a bit simpleminded to do that, but it's their right.

Not really an insult. It just sounds like you take criticism of the self proclaimed "the man" personally.

Actually, when he spends his time denigrating other members of "the communty", no, I don't approve. I see it as childish and self-aggrandizing. But, as pointed out by EAJuggalo, that is most likely what gives him personal satisfaction. But, whatever. Do you really want to keep :catfight:? You seem to think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread for gun rights in MN. I don't. I was never on the debate team and don't wish to be now. I just look at the things on which he is given passes by his supporters and go :hmm: .

And using your same logic, some might think of you as a douche.! But simpleminded as simple does!

Just asking for clarification here!??

We are the kiddie day care after all!

How does that Joel tag sit with permit holders, On this forum??
Where's Justa with a poll

"Joel slagged us off as a group of permit holders"


Doesn't matter one iota what he said,................. HE **** DID IT!

And certain permit holders/instructors continue the division!

Well-being of individual instructors is really their own concern. I don't think Joel has turned anyone off from getting a permit. There are more instructors out there than Joe, Gary and Joel.

You and a some other people have personal issues with Joel for one reason or another. I get that. You support the other guys in the "I have a problem with Joel" society. I get that. Joel has been a dick. I get that. Having been on the receiving end of Joel's dickery does not make you a saint. It also does not guarantee you automatic support. And the vast majority of people out there doesn't care (and in a lot of cases even know) about Joel.

Joel likes to try to get people to pick sides. I told him to take a personal erotic tour when he got on me about that. Please don't try an pin me down this way - I will be forced to tell you the same and I really don't want to, since you are really an OK guy. (alright, alright, bloke :) )

Honest answer: No matter what he says, I get to go to bed at night knowing that "the boss," "the man," Joel Rosenberg is a blowhard that has not only never seen the elephant, but, sadly, resembles one.

I am not quite sure what you are saying here, either. What is a "Joel tag"?

If you mean to say that his latest escapade looks bad, then I agree it does. Prior to this deal, it's really a private fight between him and you guys in the Joel Hate Club.

Joel was making parody websites of people's businesses and trying to get people fired. Among other things. He went WAAAAAY beyond "private fight" with many people, and, despite that, people still seem to idolize the guy and want him to represent them in public.
