Hey Goof, 98 didn't jump your shit without paying respect to your skill and ability as a rifle builder. That shows he's still interested in keeping you around.
Don't take offense to his post. The way I saw it, you're getting called out, to come out an shoot with us. Take it how you want, but I think there's people here that would rather see you show up than disappear.
No one here is chasing you out. I for one am glad to see your builds, and to know I had a little bit of influence in spending your money :)
I caught the levity in your first post and saw where you were coming from. Even with a smiley face, the "Ass Ramming" part was a bit too thick to swallow. I know we joke a lot around here, but something about that part even made me cringe... And I have nothing against a good "Ass Ramming" if that's somebody's preference.
Don't go to bed angry, and don't sign off with unresolved business. Context and sarcasm get lost in online banter. Unless you're willing to play the long game, you have to be able to write your ass off. Hell, I don't even understand halt he shit that is said around here. The grammatical errors and lack of punctuation damn near requires a cryptographer to translate.
I think we're all good around here still. No need for hurt feelings or getting pissed off at anyone.
