My calibers for hunting in Africa

[Bushpig4Ever]

In Italy we say that "the fish always stinks from the head".

Please don‘t refer to your government, let‘s stick to hunting.

I really wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt.

I was hoping most of the negative stuff generated in this thread (and not just from you, but from several members as well) was a result of communication issues.

However, your last post was unmistakably douche.

See you later (or not).

Me thinketh the ban hammer will quickly drop.

Jerome, you have a high percentage of idiots that is difficult to find in this kind of forum.

In Italy we say that "the fish always stinks from the head".
I guess it's like that here too.

Tell me, what is the percentage of fake users you have registered here and which you use to animate the forum?

Do you still have paying advertisers who believe in it, or are the banners that you see almost all free and are used to make numbers like fake users?

This thread resembles the life cycle of a mosquito. Egg, larva, pupa and imago all within one week. Probably ending very quickly.

Seek help. You have a serious problem.

I will no longer interact with you in any way.

Nothing unites quite like a common enemy...this has been somewhat entertaining at least. I must say that Jerome is much more patient and polite than I am!

I have held back from commenting all along on the three threads this individual has started.
From the thread about "Black Rifles" i was dubious of the intentions, made more so by some comments there.
Then this thread started and at the point where most of the helpful and honest speaking people here were being insulted, i realized this user is nothing more than a troll.
Once the heated comments abated here, another thread was started with what i perceive to be the intention to rile up people again.

Many of us on this forum have had heated debates and discussions about a wide variety of topics, most do not degenerate into name calling and insults.
This one has, this user has and this user has no place in this forum.

I enjoy this forum and i enjoy reading the many threads on here, the discussions provide interesting reading, the knowledge base here is astounding and for people getting started and honest about hunting, there is no friendlier environment or more agreeable group of people willing to help than what is found here on this forum.

I would like to see that maintained.

@AfricaHunting.com, @BRICKBURN perhaps it is time to swing that big hammer of yours and delete the member and these threads.
You have given warnings, opportunity to adjust and time to reconcile. Evidently it is not going to happen.

Seeing that this site is limited to what topics are relavent to hunting, mainly in Africa it's continuance is dependant on new members re-hashing many old subjects like, " What about the 308"as if they are something new.

Some guys will dive right into any subject and come up with data that suggests that its good and others with that it might not be the best idea they ever heard, and then there are others who go as far as to jump on the poster with both of their stinking internet self righteous feet and start say how this and that are stupid and possibly the stupidest thing they've ever heard and that they are the one true god of guns and lord of the hunt, when in the truth of the matter is they are just a bigmouth.....an annonomous one at that.

Does "308w" need to go? Hell, I don't know. Is that what is customarily done? I am not exactly chat club savy. From what I can tell he's been fiddling a tune that has been danced to 187 times and it appears that he holds some sort of hypnotic effect on some here that demands that they play his game by his rules.

Maybe he's some sort of evil genius sent here by the Chinese to infiltrate and brain wash everyone so that he can corner the world market on lion penis, yak scrotum and rhino testicals?

Or maybe he's the guy who invented that piece of paper that has "turn me over" written on both sides and is left on a table at GED study group and then takes bets on how many times each person there will turn it over?

What mysteries life has in store for us!

Or maybe there's no mystery at all....that it's as simple as he's acting like an @$$hole to people who took time to try and help?

Phil,

I was attempting to make lite of a weird situation and I wish I could have done better. I will try harder next time.

Maybe you're right, and probably are as I see that he is being upity towards our friend Pascal yet once again and there is a guy why really does go out of his way to be friendly.

I guess that the reason that I don't care much for the internet is that if some clown shoots his mouth off ya just can't reach out and make like a speed bag on it's face.

Things were so much simpler when the only thing there was, was a pocket transistor am radio.

The anonymity of an internet forum does allow for odd interactions. Sometimes we have someone show up that really isn't a hunter or shooter, they just pretend to be with the intent of stirring up a pot of crap stew. These are usually referred to as internet trolls.

Then sometimes we have someone who is authentic in being a hunter, but they're also something of an internet bully. They'll say things on an internet forum to people that if they were speaking face to face they wouldn't. All in an effort to prove that they're right and you're wrong as if it was really necessary in the first place.

I don't know what the situation is here, but these guys come and then shortly they go.

Nobody, not a one, jumped on him with both feet, stinking or no, in any of the threads he started.
Most agreed with him that his .308 would work or gave their opinion that it would not be ideal for 500 m shots. You included.
Nobody said he was a fool, acted in a self righteous manner or did anything other than comment on topics he started.
He became increasingly belligerent culminating with an attack on admin. That kind of stupidity alone should see him off.

It is not genius or mysterious or hypnotic. It is an attention getting device which I suspect was employed by someone who is a member here under another name. It is annoying and rude as I and others wasted our time on him.

I take issue with that, as I take issue with the inference that disagreeing, or agreeing in this case, makes me a know it all loudmouth. At least I can assure you that I will not be an anonymous loudmouth. Bring your mighty weatherby gigantogun next time you are here in Africa and you are welcome to come and shoot dinner plates off hand on my farm.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are referring to social media and internet conversations in general. I really don't believe that is an accurate characteristic of this site or the people participating - at all. It is an unfortunately common occurrence of two others in which I have been a member (and to which I no longer subscribe). But not this one. Just the opposite.

 

[Spooksar]

He is back at it again in another thread, using a custom ammo sight to prove his point and insulting the members here. He is a troll trying to pick a fight nothing more

 

[Von S.]

RL,

Yes! I am referring to it in general because " in general" what I said appears to be about right. This is the only site I frequent cause most others are full of meatheads who appear to enjoy quarrels.

EZ,

Tell me bud, why did you immediately think that I was somehow referring to you? I wasn't thinking about you at all. Why would I? And then Ez why the snide comments about what I shoot?

Its unfortunate that you take issue with things that don't exsist.

And just why in the world would you want your dinner plates all shot up?

Give me your address.

Phil,

If people wish to ban this kid then by all means they should do as the rules permit.

 

[WAB]

Why don’t you all set the ignore function on him as IvW suggested? I did, and I no longer have to suffer his insulting remarks.

The latter topics of this thread were very specific as to the behavior of posters on this thread and others started by 308w. You commented on loudmouth internet experts hiding anonymously. Say then exactly who and which posts you are referring to or you may run the risk of posters here taking offense at blanket statements which can easily be retracted as: I was speaking in general.
I am offended by 308w and I will call out a post I feel is unwarranted as was yours by referring in general to members who have tried to help.

Dinner plates was a reference to your statement that in order to hunt successfully one should be able to hit a 6” target off hand @ 100 m and that you do so with your Weatherby 378 or such. My comment was not snide but aimed rather at your very vocal opinions on dg calibers, recoil and shooting ability which seem to have taken a u turn on threads posted by 308w.

My name is Ray, I live on Groenfontein Farm, South Africa, and if you are in the vicinity drop me pm and I will send you a google pin to my farm. I truly would like to see you shoot your big gun, share a beer and show you that well meaning forum friends are not Big Mouth, do not have stinking feet and are, most certainly, not desperate to hide behind a meaningless internet name.

I have wasted enough of my life on 308w.
Your posts are somewhat entertaining and I do not wish to regret interacting with you.

 

[Von S.]

One last time Ray...

I really wasn't mentioning the post as much as the internet as a whole.

By the way...all I be shooting the wife's good dinner China or just the everyday stuff?

And......and Ray....how much per shot?

A big Weather by age with a silencer kicks about as much as a........well "308" ( well, maybe a little more, but I had to work it in)

You come all the way here you can shoot my plates, those you can hit offhand @ 100m, for free. Everyday stuff of course.

If you were commenting on the net in general I’ll agree with you. My reaction comes from the fact that this thread had none of what you were referring too. 308 was treated in a very civil manner by all and it wasn’t relevant to bring up your pet peeve about others prescribing what and how to shoot.

I meant it. Bring your cannon, I’ll supply the gongs and cold beer after.

Just to let all of you "fake users" know @308Win has been banned! I was out with my wife last night and only saw the nonsense this morning.
