THR moves more than BEKINS

What is with all the thread moving? Does the forum overflow onto the floor and stain the carpet?

I put the "handguns to Canada" in "General Handguns" after what ....I...thought was CAREFUL thought.

The thread, although about a legality, pertained to ONLY handguns and since I believe long guns CAN be taken to Canada, I figured it belonged in the HANDGUN category as the LEGALITY would not be covering LONG GUNS and if I put it in LEGAL it would be moved to HANDGUNS.

But......nooooooooo.......it apparently was deemed more LEGAL than SPECIFIC.

This is tough to figure and doesn't seem to indicate much faith in us to be able to figure our way through the maze.

The second amendment states clearly "A well regulated editorial policy, being necessary for the security of a free site, the right of the people to decide where to post shall not be infringed."

heh

Seriously, what's next?

A template? Could make one that says "Which is better? A................
or a ...................... and why?"

What's "BEKINS" and why is it in all caps?

So your thread got moved. Boo fricken hoo. Quite yer whining. I can't see that the move caused you any harm. If it was shuffled off to an obscure venue (like the "quiet loads" thread that got stuck in Hunting) I could see being a bit upset. But even then, PM'ing the mod who did it would be better than a childish temper tantrum.

For a whole TEN BUCKS I mite get tempted to EDIT the post and add:

"By the way what IS the mid range trajectory of a 7mm Mag with 140 gr bullet and half a cup of 3031?"

Look at the description of the forums. If a moderator (myself included) feels it belongs more in another forum than the one it originated in, it gets moved. As for Bekins, you mean we're not like Fed-Ex yet?;)

You seem to have taken this personally and got your feelings hurt. A thick skin is sometimes necessary on this site as we can be insensitive if not caustic. If you knew in advance that there was some question as to the appropriate location of your post, why didn't you just ask where to place it first? THR is growing AND evolving. While it may seem that micro-managing is taking place I see this as an ongoing effort to define the direction THR is going. I know THR wants to keep rules and regs to a minimum and does not desire to be restrictive for the sake of being restrictive. THR may be having some growing pains, this is a good thing. At least there are people like you who take the time to write well thought out posts, and as more people participate THR must continue to re-evaluate policy. If feelings are hurt I doubt it's intentional. Please continue to be involved and let's work together to make this site better!!

Generally I try to move threads to where the poster will get the most relevant answer. While someone in the handguns forum will probably be familiar with the legalities of moving a handgun through Canada, you can bet that you'll definately get the right answer really quick in a forum that deals with the legalities of firearms.

Since you were more interested in getting the legal skinny on a handgun than you were in the handgun itself, L&P would be the place to go.

Trust us, there is a method to our madness. ;)

I am happy in my trust. It is a good trust I feel. I feel a happy trust.

NO. You're nowhere NEAR Fedex until you begin BREAKING things.

But....my feelings are hurt. Irretrievably hurt. I am breaking down in racking sobs and may get so depressed that I will just get RID of all my guns to whoever will take them off my hands.

oh sob.......

:scrutiny:

I bet this is a CONSPIRACY! THAT'S what it is. Where IS THR? I bet it's in area 51.

Gosh TG I feel so bad that I've taken some time off-gassed up the politically incorrect SUV-packed some food and prepared to come take those nasty guns off your hands. It's the gun's fault-without them you wouldn't be so traumatized by this experience. I'll bet you're now emotionally scarred for life. In order for you to move on with your life and get past this you'll need some closure. I am there for you buddy-just let me know if I'll need a class 3 or any additional permits for my new-found gun collection.
