My apologies to the gentlemen I offended

I'm sorry for letting my so called joke go on for so long. I'm sorry for potentially wasting your time. I just wanted to have some laughs with My brother's here. I joked in the incorrect way and for that I apologize. Please know I HIGHLY appreciate your efforts when giving advice and help. Any thing I can do to help my apologetic efforts let me know.

Ed glad you apologized. Reading the thread it was pretty clear it was BS. Your mistake was letting it go on too long. Forums are not like sitting in a room of friends who know you well and BSing, which we all do. If you don't know the people personally, best to play it straight up. Glad you got your problems worked out on your build.

^^^^ Well said. A lot of the joking you see here is cause there is a large group of us that have traveled cross country to meet, and then again for follow up visits.

Or been on here years, talked on the phone, and developed a tight friendship. In person a lot of people think I'm an a$$hole but I've always thought you shouldn't try acting like one of the boys before you are.

Don't worry about Francis. He just needs to lighten up. I got a good laugh. If you had joked around about sleeping with someones wife... ya that might get you punched if you are not friends enough to do that.... but making a claim of shooting better than pros on the interweb as a joke... seriously... we have to be brothers to do that here? Tough crowd.

^^^  Has nothing to do with that. 

 

It goes from never shooting 200 yards, to putting down a 2" group at a half mile, on your first home built rifle that is barely finished, and you've just barely shot.

 

Then letting that go on for quite some time. 

 

It's about the rapid development of an awesome (unheard of) set of skills, in practically zero time at all.

You mean like so unheard of it is pretty much impossible?

 

... shoot, that's nothing... a friend took me bowling and I got a 300 my first game. Nobody could believe it, but I didn't see what the big deal was.... I mean they just got done cleaning all the balls in the rack....

And there's the problem. How is a newer member supposed to know who's close knit and who isn't? Up until this point I thought this forum was just full of a bunch of good-hearted jokesters, not limited to some "inner circle" that could only make jokes. It's not like there were any personal attacks in the joke.

Didn't mean it like that, I sure as hell wouldn't walk into any other type of establishment and start spouting off because I thought I knew everyone. Even once I got a feel for everyone I'd hold off a bit, idk it's how I am

Bottom line joke went on to long apologies given lesson learned lets go shoot some poop

I love this forum and the guys on it... but that is what I don't get at all. Guys here joke around and cuss all the time. (Which is fine by me) I typed one word (joking) a while back and got warned this is a family site... then just the other day I get porn in my face and .... nothing. Not that I mind a vagina... can I say that.... wait... can "I" say that.... because it seems anything goes for a few... but "I" should probably not say t... wat. I might get another warning for that.

Everybody needs to take a breath right now, we're all pretty wound up around here because of some newcomers who are unfamiliar with the core group of founding members and staff. We've grown accustomed to each other and not done as well as we could getting the newcomers acclimated.

Everybody take a deep breath, kill a few beers and come back ready to enjoy the forums as they are intended to be enjoyed.
