about the mods
while things might get a little heated from time to time its no where near as bad as some sites I visit. do we want the moderators to step in every time a pee pee match cranks up? I doubt it, a whole new set of rules would have to be put in place, I doubt anyone would like that.
while at the shoot Rossman myself and maybe a couple more discussed the board and about being a moderator, for the most part these guys do a good job and while some think they should step in at times I think the way they handle things is as it should be. let things play out unless they get out of hand, then step in. as someone said earlier, if we have a beef with someone then keep it between ourselves through PMs. its easier to just air it out in front of everyone but real man step up and look each other in the eye so to speak (PMs). there is no need to get nasty or draw everyone into the fray just because we want to see who is on our side, that's the way boys play, not men.
Anyway, my hat is off to the mods and the way they handle things, its kind of a thankless job behind the scenes that we never see and take for granted. just thought I would say GOOD JOB GUYS and this is still the best board on the net and I think it will continue to be.......lets go play in the yard gents and have a good weekend!

JMO PM's and e-mails may not be the best way either. There are cliques on the board and people can use that to their advantage.
I remember one incident that I had no part of where one member clearly baited the other. A PM rant was the result and the guy that did the baiting passed it to other people and played the victim. Not an isolated incident either.
I would rather have witnesses than than be used.

The mods and administrator here are doing a fantastic job!
There HAS been an instance here in the last year in which a moderator used his clout to calm things down!
There are other boards in which the mods allow things to go way too far, one in which "newbies" and old timers alike are outright attacked for certain statements/questions.
There are other boards in which the mods/administrator rules with an iron fist where any statement for a new idea is promptly deleted. Want that??
There are a couple of people who RARELY come to this board, but seem to do so whenever they want to stir up trouble. I have a feeling that the mods themselves would like to say what some of us have said to these two clowns.
This board has the most innovative people on it of any I visit (which are many) and with innovative people who have the same goal in mind, but going different directions to attain that goal, you're going to have differences, and they do sometimes become heated. Any one here who's sensitivities are harmed by such threads have the freedom to read other threads!
Lighten up. This board is by far the best firearm board on the 'net. I do believe Edge and the rest have a good idea of what they're doing.
Cole, love yer dawg!!

You want a forum that is no fun to be apart of? Try practical machinist, if you have import equipment and post a question about it, your post will usually be removed or at least ridiculed.
Doug's is by far the best no matter what the chatter is at the current time.
