Guess you better just lay low for a while. These guys never miss a chance to gang up on anyone they consider weaker. Look at how they talk to JOE"S CUSTOM GUNS. Poor old Joe is 75 years old, don't spell very well and has very little experience with a computer and they put him down every chance they get. Was reading on another forum that Joes health is very bad but he is still trying to work. I admire a man such as that.
You must have missed a few threads, one in particular I took Joe's side , I defended what I saw as a guy getting bullied, Joe jumped all over my * as well
I still like the guy, and understand him, he is not as innocent as perceived

Thanks Rosie. I've got pretty thick skin. Yes, the way I asked the question could have been more sensitive. I apologize to those here with sensitive feelings. I am disappointed that no one corrected me though. I really did hope that there was something from GB that I had missed. The nice reply from the admin did state that something was coming soon. But the facts that lead to my question are still the same.
{elsewhere}, GunAuction, and the NRA have all sent me emails asking me to contact my elected officials, and even included contact information.
GunBroker has not. Yet. And I hope that changes.
Sitting here on a forum preaching to each other is lot different than rallying ALL the troops of GB. I imagine that the entire GB voting block is substantially larger than the limited number who participate on the forums. The public in general is lazy. Spoon feeding them the contact info for their elected officials might be necessary to get the turn out and inertia that this issue requires.
That was my main point, convoluted as it may have been, and clouded by my disappointment in the only auction site that I actually do business on.
Some people like me are not eloquent speakers, cannot put down in words what we really mean sometimes and have bad grammar. Some questions by people may be misconstrued as arrogant or hateful and not meant to be that way. I took no ill feelings or bad mouthing from pcn's post. I have been a member on this forum since March 2003 and am still a senior member. Does this status somehow make me less knowledgeable and wise as a posting junkie is? We need to quit throat slashing people on this forum and be a little nicer. Hatefullness sometimes can be eloquently stated.
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I've never seen anyone complain that there isn't enough spam in the world.
