One fellow said I had “a lot of gall” to have limits on the number of free classifieds. I responded that Silver level is just $20 per year or thirty-eight cents per week. He answered “why should I pay a penny for what i can do [i.e. selling] on other forums for free?!” I then said “Fine, since you ascribe no value to this Forum, I will just terminate your account.” He then texted — “You can’t do that, it’s not fair! It’s discrimination!”

I smiled as I selected “BAN member” and clicked on “forever”.

Banning guys like that is actually one of the few truly satisfying things I get to do...

Hey Forum Boss,

I would like to give you some money from a new sponsor... He's been too busy I am just going to take care of it for him.

I think you work very hard and this forum is amazing. I would gladly buy you a nice steak dinner if you ever decide to come to the Wannamaker gun show or maybe we can meet at SHOT. Not a cheap steak either!!! Thank you again.

It doesn't surprise me this is occurring, but it is still disappointing that some jackwagon would treat you like this Boss.
 
like somebody else said, if they are out of classified's, they need to up their membership for that privilege,and of course you realize that the folks that have the least to do usually complain the MOSTo_O
 
I find it kinda funny that the only people that actually comment on the post by our forum boss when he is actually venting are from contributing members. Funny how cowards hide when the pot calls the kettle black. Thank you for running a very informative site and everything else you do. I myself enjoy this site and check everything more than once per day. A wealth of knowledge all here because of you! Thanks Bossman!
 
+1 to an excellent job by our moderator on an outstanding forum. Kudos are deserved. It's my go to resurce for info. I look at other sites, but the quality of the responses is often lacking, or inaccurate, or unsafe!

To the complainers that want to compare the site and think they get a better deal somewhere else I say the same thing to those that complain about our country: if you think it is better elsewhere, then go! I'm not saying our country is perfect, or that this or any site is perfect, but we all have a choice. Something those in other countries might not have! And we can exercise our right to speak about it. Something those in many countries cannot. So as my Grandpa used to say "quite yer bitching", be thankful for what you have, stop being part of generation that feels entitled to things they haven't earned or deserved, and get on with your life.

Just saying...
 
Forum Boss ; You made my day with the , "Hitting the Ban button" comment . Great , Just freakin-outstanding ! As a "new guy" on the forum , I do understand being a contributor , and it is fully on my to-do list in the short future . Only excuse is retired with limited income , but it takes cash to run this "cattle drive" , so I'll be kickin in next month . Keep doin what you're doin , and tell the whiners to put on their "Big Girl" panties , and Shut Up , or go away . Screw em , if they can't take a joke .
 
I've seen and experienced several people that have a sense of "entitlement" also. Very sad sign of the times I guess.
Thanks for your excellent service for us all.

You do a fantastic job Boss!!!!!! I personally would have a hard time engaging in conversation with people like that.... they don't deserve your time. It still baffles me at how many people use this site and refuse to donate. I'd have a hard time helping them also. The old saying "never look a gift horse in the mouth comes to mind". I'd hate to see how many non donating members request things from you in a day. Have you ever thought of replying to them and saying, you get what you pay for?
