I sent a link to seven people on this site about a new forum I created based on posts in a thread in Strategy and tactics. Apparently Gunkid is one of them using an alias. I have banned him from my forum, but my mind is racing around wondering why people like him do the things they do?

All of their BS opinions and less than stellar attitudes and downright ignorace only make us all look bad when they get on the internet and start spouting off lies and inaccuracies. Gunkid cannot believe he is actually right, he never did any of things he says he has, lies about what he has done and just gives anti-gun folks or those on the fence ammuniton to discount us as a group altogether. Why?

Why can't folks like him shutup and learn something and be nice about their business?

I pretty much know who he is on this site because I am rather sure of six of the seven I sent the PM to (unless one of them gave him the link, which would make me mad), and my forum is in Beta and does not show up in search engines at this time. The funny thing is, his other posts under the other alias aren't much like his. Is he schizo, or does he have ulterior motives? Do they all have ulterior motives? They can't all be crazy. People like him make us look terrible.

Thank you Gunkid, Hardin, Lawrenceof, Okeydoke, Dispatch and the rest of your aliases (the current one here is not included for privacy reasons, this is The High Road after all), your illiteracy, ignorance and BS give you away every single time.
 
God I remember Hardin from the old "shooters" board. Im not entirely convinced that they are all the same person, but they are certainly the same personality type; sad little men with sad little lives.

Gunkid is probably some guy from some institution of higher learning, and since we don't do a good enough job at making ourselves look bad, he's determined that we measure up to his preconceived stereotype. Think of it this way:

Everything you post on this forum could end up in some college sophomore's paper about why the world needs more gun control.
 
From the ones I've met in real life their motives for behavior like that are compensatory. Not having served in the military but wishing they had, lack of attention from mommy and daddy, or spoiled rotten and surprised when they got out of the nest and found out that the rest of the world just doesn't care. There could be something deeper at work too, since none of us obviously knows the hardships that others have been through.

Everyone's got a sob story, damnit anyway, but that alone is no excuse for ig'nance.
 
Update:

Nothing new on why he does hat he does, though I think the first reply in ths thread had the hammer meeting the nail, apparently Gunkid browses this forum (no surprise) and picked the link up from this thread.

I just wish he'd stop and find a better way to participate in the discussion. I think all of us forum owners should network together to report Gunkid sightings so we can shut him down with lightning-quick speed and accuracy, kinda like Gunkid's "world-class CCW draw". :D


Now that Gunkid has found us, might as well do a little advertising in the sig. Thats gotta be a record, the board was up less than 2 weeks and Gunkid was on there going crazy.
 
This public forum nevertheless remains a private property. I wonder if people like Gunkid can be charged with trespassing or if restraining order can be requested. It would be interesting to hear from a lawyer on this issue.
 
You have met people like Gunkid.
They are starving for attention.

They know they haven't got what it takes to really "been there and done that" so they constantly talk BS, trying to impress real men.
They are the kind of guys that talk about their time in Vietnam, when actually they are cowards that never saw a day in the military.

They talk about guns but most of their "knowledge" comes from gun rags and video games.

The Internet is great for them because they don't even have to look a man in the eye when they try to tell their BS.

I really feel sorry for them.
Most men mature past the dork stage in their teenage years but the Gunkids never do.
They are like scared puppies trying to bark like the big dogs.:rolleyes:

Sorry, bogie, you're wrong. He's an utter loser who lives in a podunk Colorado town (Pagosa Springs, for anyone who cares.)

He's a convicted felon.

And I believe him to be deeply out of touch with reality.

Nineseven, I know of at least a dozen boards he's been kicked off of more than once. He's unemployed, so basically all he does, all day, every day, is troll the internet.

If he put half as much effort into being a productive citizen as he does trolling gun forums, he'd probably have a six-figure income.

A bunch of people are sitting around talking about Gunkid (and others) ... people he doesn't know ... people on lots of different forums.

Gunkid now has a weird form of fame.

There's your answer.
 
I'm sure he is reading this. THR has rules against insulting other members, but since we've banned him from here, oh, fifty times, I'm not going to get offended if anybody wants to make fun of him.

Gunkid is a pathetic loser. He is ignorant, yet puffed up with pride. The man is a fool. Every Mod on this board is sick of him. Every Mod, on every gun board on the internet is sick of the man.

There are trolls, and then there are TROLLS. Gunkid is a special breed of troll, too stupid to quit, he spends hours typing out nonsense, that we then mass delete in about half a second.
 
NineseveN, people like him are rampant among many boards and chat rooms. They like to cause trouble, need attention, and feel safe hiding behind the anonymity of a "screen name". I've run across people like him since I got my first PC 12 years ago. The best thing that could happen is that there be some law, rule, method of eliminating this anonymity.
 
To be honest, when I first read the orginal post in this thread early this morning, I was going to close it and say we don't disparage other people on here much like Correia was saying. But, after thinking about it for about 47 nanoseconds, I said to myself, "but hey, it's about hardin"!!! Go for it!

Instead of closing it, I PM'e NineseveN to see if he had had a hardin sighting. Turned out to be a false alarm. But, we must be ever vigilant folks! Keep your eyes open for any signs of him - do it for the children! Are you with me??!! I knew you were.

I don't think we will ever understand Mr. John Melvin Davis (aka hardin/gunkid/shucks/dispatch ...., etc., etc.). All we can do is root him out whenever and wherever he appears, delete his blatherings and go on with life.

He needs to join the 12 step group called "On and On Anon".
 
Some Trolls are actually fun and sometimes add interest to a thread.

The greatest sins of the Gunkids is they are stupid, dull, without knowledge and worst of all uninteresting.:(

I have dealt with trolls before being the admin or a MOD on a number of PC or game-related boards, but none like this one. Gunkid is something else entirely methinks. Sending me inflamatory e-mails, yet ignoring my PMs and e-mails, ignoring the rules, and spending more than 3 straight hours on the board posting utter crap...and his MO is that he comes back. He is truly a King Troll.

The funy thing is, I knew it was him on my boards since the very first post, I new it in my gut, but for the sake of proof, I had to wait until he slipped up and made one of his signature consistent typos or did a copy and paste of something he posted somewhere else that I could use to identify him. It took him only 27 posts to be banned, and to be fair, the Ban button was pushed when I read post #21, I didn't need to see the rest.

Anyway, I realize this is off-topic, sorry Mods, here I am complaining about a troll when I started an off-topic thread that is bashing Gunkid 9though he deserves it, High Road or not as far as I am concerned). Some days, my hypocrisy knows no bounds. :neener:
 
While some people may see it as 'thought police' to ban someone for being annoying, this is a forum belonging to private individuals. We on THR do like to have fun and kid around, one of the goals of this forum (as I understand it) it to cultivate the image of responsible gun owners.

This person (who apparently cannot legally own a gun), does not comply with this forums goals and infact could be seen as tring to undermine them. I can see no more problem with removing him than removing an agent provacetur(sp?) from a peaceful protest.
 
The problem with Gunkid is when he gets mean and insulting, which never seems to take long. His posts are so outlandish they're funny and I really laugh a ton when I read his drivel, until he gets nasty and starts giving off information that could get someone hurt or arrested. That's where the line has to be drawn. At this point, he has such a long history of not being able to comply with the rules that I can see the case for preemptively banning him as he turns up.
 
Dr. Rob pointed this out, if you really want to have fun with his threads, read them outloud, but do it like you have Tourette's syndrome and randomly shout some of the words. It is dang funny.

Laws against being annoying? Harsh...

I think you are implying disparity where none exists.
This is a public forum not governed by laws but run by T.O.S.
We have a privilage, not a right to be here.
