I know most of you here have probably seen HardCoreTalk.com and thought "no way, not for me." And I understand that.I just wanted to make a friendly invitation to anyone who hasn't made up their mind yet, as we're driving right now near our 2000th member. Again, please let's not start a flame war. This is nothing but a nice, humble invitation for those who haven't been there or are undecided on what's for them. www.HardCoreTalk.com Thanks.LtUSMC

    I find the discussion here to be a bit more intelligent and inviting. I visited and "joined" HCT for the purpose of asking a fellow user here if they were experiencing difficulties with Gunbroker. HCT left a bad taste in my mouth after reading the first few threads. I use an occasional light profanity here or there but HCT just seems to be full of potty mouths and juveniles with temper problems. Being a military man myself, I don't have thin skin. I just don't turn to the profane for interesting reading.

    Fair enough IDSMAN. I can certainly understand your point of view. Different people have different priorities. Luckily we can all choose our own. Sorry HCT left such a bad impression on you.. but the priority there is free speech, and I believe that kind of outcome is almost inevitable.LtUSMC

    Amen to free speech. I am a supporter of free speech and am glad that avenues exist in which free speech can be exercised -- even profane speech. Lord knows the Taliban would have cut off my tongue long ago with all of the four-letter words that have come loose from my tongue.

    I occasionally read the threads over there, but I have not registered, nor will I.The problem I see over there is the tremendous amount of spam. You post a topic about something serious and intelligent, and all of the sudden you have fifty spammers jumping on you calling you an A-hole, and nobody has responded to your question or statement. I prefer the conversation here, but when I need a laugh I head over there and read Big & Bad's threads.

    Went there and signed up, wish I hadn't....should have read the posts a little closer before doing so. Some guy by the name of Gunkid was trashing everyone that responded, he came across as the site bully....langauge and porno pictures were were offensive. The old saying seems to apply..."your first impression...is a lasting impression".....I wasn't impressed, have not been back and won't return. One could look at HCT as marketing a product, you're selling something that I'm not intersted in buying. Mr Nunn and Admin have the right idea here by zapping the trouble makers. I appreciate a good clean managed site where folks can communicate without insulting each other. Treat each other with a little respect, not with insults.

    Thanks for the invitation. Would join but the registering process was too complicated for one with my dull mentality. Just a few too many questions. Great logo you have, the DONT TREAD ON ME flag. I have one of these flags and fly it twice a week, the Stars and Stripes the other days. Good luck with your website.

    I like the idea of being able to speek freely from a CONSERVATIVE standpoint on a BBS where people with similar views visit and comment as well. It seems that free speech is protected so long as it is liberal speech. The journalism machine only allows liberals into journalism school and only graduates those that are liberal enough to fit the bill. No wonder Gore is at Columbia university teaching journalism. Lest I digress...I like the concept of a board where you can say anything that is on your mind about the subject at hand and also have the option of being not-so-serious. However, I care not to surround myself with the ilk that visits HCT regularly. It's a pity.

    75, You would be surprised at which members on this board are members at hct and how many. Funny part is most left here because we were supposed to be such bad * they could not associate with us any more. Rosie

    Some of us don't mind a little diversity and while I don't spend much time on most of the boards I started out at I still check in from time to time.GunKid aka Big&Bad has found things slightly harder of late - there are moderators on HCT and few of them tolerate his bull, especially when he takes a topic way off course.FreeSpeech forum is exactly that - the others stay reasonably on topic or they are moved and/or closed.But not every board is for everyone - kinda why there are so many out there.And yes Rosie - you know damn well there are quite a few of us who are members of HCT - I tend to like it and AssaultWeb better than many of the other boards (I won't even go into the ezboards I frequent because Admin would have a cow).

    During my recent hiatus from GB I must have missed this PETA person. I must tell her that I too believe in the ethical treatment of animals....to treat them unethically is as close to a heinous crime as I can possibly imagine. So in 10 days I'm going up state with an elderly doctor friend of mine to act as his back up for deer hunting. While I don't normally hunt deer I do enjoy the taste of fresh venison on my breath....so PETA rest assured that should his shot not be spot on target...mine will be and we will enjoy the taste of the deer we have most ethically treated. And I'll let you know that we are watching you butchering vegetarians as you callously kill innocent soy and rice plants and use them for your own glutonous needs....I shudder at night thinking of the needless suffering you impose on poor defenseless vegetables everywhere. Rest assured we treat our animals with far more ethical concern than you do your rice plants. Have meaty kind of day PETA! Beach

    beachmaster73, I propose we set up a protest outside of one of those awful vegatarian restraunts, screaming at everyone who goes in, calling them "Plant murderers!!!" and "Vegetable Hannible Lecters!!!". We can also splatter them with green-tinted water or guacamole or something to represent the "blood" of their innocent victems, those defenseless fellow life forms they slaughter with such vicious abandon. Plants are people too!!!!

    ladr, To Those who choose not to use such verbage than no insult should be taken as none was intended, however the other bunch well I think they are trying to make up for something? Maybe they were picked on when they were younger. Point is I will not go back as there is much better sites to associate with.

    I'm talking about a poster who used to post on Hard Core Talk and got his IP banned altogether. He had many user name such as: sh*talker (ST), blackgayjew, ThomasAmes (notice that htere's no space in-between the Thomas and the Ames. He was "impersonating" a board regular) and a few others.Anyhow, PETA has the same Troll-ish modus operandi. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD MORNING GUBROKER!

    lol you know Peta could be B&B from HCT - now that's funny.dano - don't change your opinion of someone just because he doesn't like someone you know. Understand that not everyone is going to like everyone you do and vice versa.ladr - it isn't worth it you know. When I want to defend myself I can but I appreciate the thought.Rosie - again I hope you and your wife are doing well and I hope you have a very nice life.

To anyone else who don't like what i say---PhhhhhtttRosie, the cute and cuddly one
