Why do people like Gunkid do it?

Cosine,

I read part of the thread but I got tired of reading the same old rants over and over. So I probably missed this part.

Banning his IP is the only way to keep him off of the boards. I know that it would or could cause some trouble for others but they could be un-banned. It would make more work for the mods but it would sure be worth it to get away from the gunkids, and swampfoxes and all of the other idiots out there.

Banning the user name only works for people who are basically upstanding folks who will abide by the ban. Same with gun control laws, only the law abiding will obey them.

Banning the IP is the only effective way to control people, and I use the term loosely, that act like this.

Ah-hem. That would be the perfect job for me. Of the 112 private messages I have sent or recieved, about 1/3rd are in response to me outing GunKid in his various forms here. Over at GT I developed a reputation for this aswell.

I think my record over here was after his 3rd or 4th post, and he was banned within a few minutes. THR mods ban him quicker than mods at almost any other site.

ID'ing and outing Gunkid has become almost a sport for me, except it is almost too easy.

It's too bad I am not allowed to hunt him with a rifle.

Dude, you're hired! :D

Lol, seriously, shoot me a PM if you're serious, because special people need special care. ;)
 
I was beginning to think this wasn't The High Road

based on the things being said here.

And then I read what has been said on other boards, and I realize that (comparatively speaking) you guys are being gentle. The story on "Assault Web" CRACKS ME UP!!!!!! :D

As to Why? Better to be hated than unknown.
 
Anybody that wants to research his style can go here.
He has about 8000 posts to reference
http://armslocker.com/forums/search.php?searchid=43728

He goes by Andy now and is somewhat of a celebrity

One of the members gave out his true name the name of his parole officer and the whole story of his arrest.

There was some suggestions that he really was somewhat of a first class gunny back in the day and Cooper couldn't stand him
 
On his home page I found this.


We Sell a .22 Silencer How-to Book
as part of a general "survival gun info" book. Check it out, under "products" on the left side of the main page of this site Note that we offer an anonymous email version of the book, PayPal, and other info about maintaining anonymity

Anybody who thinks that he can keep this anonymous is not informed.

His site is pretty sad.:barf:

I think that site gave me a seizure.

The fact that all his personas have been verified as the same person is pretty damn sad. I guess I was being too generous with humanity when I assumed that one man could not have such a prodigious output of nonsense.
 
"I'll take Forum Moderators for $1000"

Name the Moderator with 5 boys that uses little wheelbarrow targets for them to shoot

"pax"

Correct!!

<THR in viewing audience going crazy, applause, standing ovation ..."Run 'em">

This thread was just too good to resist....

Steve

See this? This is my serious face.

I was being completely serious when I stated that he's the biggest loser on the entire internet.

As for his going to big time shooting competitions back in the day, I have yet to show up at a shooting match that disallows anyone willing to pay the entry fee.
 
Why banning IPs does not work well

There was some question in this line of posts about banning someone's IP in order to stop them from accessing THR.

The problem with doing that is most of the home users on the internet do not have a STATIC ip.

In order to share the resources within an Internet Services Provider the IPs given to people with dial up connections and most of those with cable modem and DSL modem are temporary. A protocol called DHCP automatically requests an IP address from a pool of availalbe IP addresses controlled by the internet service provider.

If you banned one ip address out of that pool you would only harm the intended target for a short amount of time.

This violates one of the prime rules.

"Know your target and whats behind it" (joking).

This is the problem. In order to ban a user by IP one is generally left with having to ban a range of IPs. Unfortunatly that net is wide enough to catch some decent people who's only crime is sharing an ISP with a lunatic.
 
I didn't even know he was still around....the assault wheelbarrow was a internet forum classic. Some of his threads were a comedy gold mine.

Being a bit of a hothead myself, I got drawn in once or twice with his baiting and trouble making.

Special thanks to the mods for keeping the trolls at bay.:)
 
Beta males and male answer syndrome

Gunkid is a classic beta male.

Betas are the guys who are always showing off and looking to true alpha males for approval. They're the ones bragging in the locker room about conquests. They know they can't lead with actions, so they mouth off, desperately hoping to win a glimmer of approval from the alpha males. It's kind of pathetic, really.

There's also a bit of "male answer syndrome" at work. Remember the TV show "Cheers"? The postman always had an answer for everything...even if he had to make it up off the top of his head. Y'all men are raised to provide solutions. But then some take that waaaaay too far, into the realm of high gun fantasy.
 
Let's hear it for GunKid!!!

Some Trolls are actually fun and sometimes add interest to a thread.

DING!!!! DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!

I find that ANY thread that has the participation of GunKid, et.al. suddenly LEAPS from mundane to VASTLY AMUSING!!!

His ravings add no useful information, except to provide insight as to what the "fringe mentally unstable" element of our society is thinking, but he DOES add COMIC RELIEF!!!!

:evil: :D :what: :p
 
I went to his website out of curiosity. I agree that
[qoute]he DOES add COMIC RELIEF!!!![/quote] :what:

It appears that his forums are merely converstions with himself. I noticed that all of his posters were "site Admins" :neener:

At least he sorta agrees with himself. :evil:
