I am posting this publicly and acting on my own. I am not a Staff Member here on THR or TFL.
THR became home to many us from TFL upon Rich closing TFL. Rich in his closing statements to us TFL reminded us that his goal and that of TFL staff was to raise the bar for all Internet Forums, including Firearm Forums - this goal was met, and TFL made that bar, and then raised it high.
Upon closing TFL Rich Challenged Us to not just "maintain" - instead to raise the bar even higher in our pursuits in life.
Oleg was gracious to open THR, and give us TFL members a home. Many others also started forums, still others started Blog, Websites , became instructors, trainers...etc., in each and every endeavor, Rich's challenge to raise the bar was in mind, that promise kept.
TFL re-opened.
I was raised not to meddle. I was raised to pass forward Ethics, Integrity, Morals and Principles. I do not get involved - except when it is the right thing to do.
I am acting on my own as a member of THR / TFL . In some ways it is best I am not Staff on either forum, as I can share my feeling, my thoughts and am only responsible for ME.
I was raised to never start a fight, but if I got into one to end it. I was raised to assist the ones being beat up upon by bigger bullies, or to even the odds when evil preyed upon the weak.
I did not start this "fight" - but by golly I am in the fight now!
I personally do not appreciate some members trying to tear down the bar here at THR or TFL. I do not appreciate anyone "hanging on" to attempt to lower it.
You do not kick a dog, push an elderly person down, or belittle females, not in MY world. And I do not appreciate folks breathing MY Air when they do these things!
Keyboard Kommandos - either straighten up or leave - now!
Anti's that wish to promote Tyranny, leave and post lies on your own forum.
Fences Sitters, I care a whole bunch. There is an 'ignore feature' and I strongly suggest you use it. I want you fence sitters here to learn from documented cites what Responsible Firearm Ownership means.
Kids, I care about you too, you are OUR future. I apologize for those members that have been a bad example here on THR and TFL.
If TFL or THR were MY forums, I would shut them down for 24 hours. I would Lock threads and cull the membership. Upon coming back on-line some very clear points in regard to Rules of Conduct and Mission Statements posted.
I have shared this very idea with folks at THR and TFL. I hope they do so!
THR and TFL as well as our other Sister Sites have Responsibities and WE are going to take care of these.
I care not one whit what folks think of me, never have, too darn old to start now. I have my objectives in life and will accomplish them or die trying.
I broke away from many things in my life hindering my goals and beliefs. I have fired family and friends hindering as well. Though I do the team player bit, I often work alone to get things done.
I'm stepping up to the plate in a new dimension. I'm going to lead off.
For 24 hours I will not log in to TFL or THR.
Do not ask me about a Shotgun question, in a forum post. Do not PM me or email with a question either. Quite frankly I do not want another nasty PM about me bringing up Rules of Conduct or Misson Statements - I ain't answering.
I'm stepping up and taking point. I do not need anyone watching my six.
Then again if anyone wishes to join me - in like spirit - fine, just post your username below.
I do not want posted replies or any other horse manure. Either shut up or post a username.
Rich, I know you read THR and therefore no need to share this with TFL.
Markos - same for you.
THR /TFL staff have my email.
Counterstrike folks, Keyboard Kommandos, and those with Tyranny in their blood, leave, leave now!
I'm dead serious about Integrity, Ethics, Morals, and Principals.
You have breathed MY Air too long to disrupt THR and TFL Standards.
Regards,
Steve
