Be careful what you say on the diamondback forum

[Longitude Zero]

politics and religion wil lbring out the worst in forum members. Myself I now try to stay away from it, even jokingly. Those two topics seem to be the opposite of "well at least we can agree to disagree" It is either my way or the highway. Thjere is a reaosn why politics is not allowed on some forums, not just gunh forums . I respect that.

Kinda agree. Many forums tend to be "lick boots" for their favorite F/A and you get smeared if you say anything that challenges that orthodoxy.

I can't win!

Ok, 9's and 40's Rock! Along with 45's , and 10's, and 357's and 50AE's and 44's, and 7.62 x39's, and (this pains me) 380's rule, and (no not happening) 25's suck.

Okay, what's wrong with 25's?

This from a man with all them pretty 45's in his safe?

Sheesh, ok 25's are AWESOME. Carry a little neosporin lotion in your pocket in case ya get hit with one.

Anyone wish Kahr would come out with a PM17HMR?

Over the last 3 or 4 years I've been banned from two forums, Kimber and Taurus. I really don't care about Taurus since I don't own one and will never buy another, but I recently purchased a Kimber UC II and I might need help in the future.

I occasionally hit the S&W, SIG, HK, and 1911 forums, but don't post often. KahrTalk is the only forum that I have found that will put up with me on a regular basis.

[Bawanna]

The Kimber is a 1911. I suspect the 1911 forum or the many members here with them will carry the day for ya. I had no idea you were such an outlaw. I knew about Jocko and his outlaw biker history but you. I'm impressed.

Just kidding. I don't have a 25, but you're right about my favorite round. I have eight 45 pistols plus the 45 carbine I bought this week. I only have three 40's one 9, and one 380. I never count the C9 hidden away in the Prius glove box.

A man with a Boxer has to drive a Prius? Dang.

I'm going down for this I know, I'm a evil person.

I hit "a lot" of forums (forui?) every day and LOVE to read the locked threads. They provide a real insight to the hubris of the mods/owner. I've got some favorite sites but don't want to mention them since I use the same screen-name and would hate to be banned from the entertainment of those locked threads.

I come to this forum to be educated; thanks to the members and Bawanna.

I think some sort of a swatter or rolled up newspaper would be a nice touch with the bug in your avatar. I still find myself trying to kill it.
Great avatar.

So I guess to summarize this thread so far 9mm's ROCK! and your all banned?

I'll clean out the mail box to make room for a few more Flicka horse heads.


PS- This place is what it is because JohnH makes it or lets it be so. He's the man, hes the administrator. I can't take an ounce of credit away from him or Justin for this place being so nice. They might not blabber on like I do and rarely let their presence be known but they are there. When I get stuck they are right there to pull me out.

I finally just disconnected my garage door so when I hit the button it didn't go up and down. Annoying at best.

Ponies are for betting or children to ride, let's talk no more about beheading 'em.

I say .380s, 9mm and .45 all rock. It's all about placement.

Is the forum owned or run by the guy who runs SigForum?

But it is usually not considered good form to bash other forums on most forums I've visited. Hm, that's practically a tongue-twister.

[Longitude Zero]

When the admin of a site decides to act the fool and openly denigrate posters like has been done over there I feel that once he/she crossed the good taste line his benefit not to be bashed elsewhere evaporated.

You get respect by giving it. He did not and now it is payment time.

[Rainman48314]

Just saying....birds of a feather

I see you own a Sig. I hope you noticed I merely asked a simple question. There are now several posts getting at why some forums are repugnant. I think it's the inbreeding. No need to say more as those owners with reputations deserve them.

[Jeremiah/Az]

This is my favorite forum too. I post on 3 others occasionally. I like The Firing Line, but the mods are way to quick to close threads there, but there is a lot of good info.

One thread on the Kahrtalk Forum was about a You Tube video where the man in the video said that gun owners were whiners. His gist was that if you buy a new product (gun, car, etc.) you should expect to be a beta tester. He also said that is what warranties are for. The Admin posted a supporting comment about this You Tube video.

I believe that attitude is wrong. I feel that when I pluck down good money for any product I expect that product to work. When I purchase a new product, I expect a break in period, but I don't expect the product to be defective and fail. If the manufacturer wants me to be a beta tester, then give me the product to test and I'll give them my feedback.

With all the money hungry class action lawyers, gun hating politicians, anti-gun groups and media, as I gun manufacturer I'd sure be extra careful about the quality of product that I sell. If you sell a weapon that is subject to failure, and someone is injured because of that failure, then you are supplying ammunition to all the anti-gun people. This is destructive to the gun industry as a whole and to gun owners.
