Hmmm - the only threads that stay on topic in this place are the sticky posts!

I was upset about the 223 comment. All I will say is 5.56.

Yes. This translates it into 'young' and 'old' jenever. But 'young' jenever can be older than 'old' jenever and vice-versa! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! (Or fire-up that cheap ar$$ (mind the spelling!) translator again ).

That's a shame.

I am an NRA member, a veteran and belong to any number of arms forums as well and can understand your position.

I also understand that people won't share all of my passions. Especially at the same time.

If you love fine watches, hang out a while.

Then find a gun forum and hang there to share that passion with likeminded individuals.

If you can't seperate the two...

Brian, your post is a perfect example of how this site is, both fairly and professionally, moderated. You gave some background facts to establish credentials, as related to the OP, and made a reasonable point. Your post is NOT trying to enter into a gun debate and thus, is within the spirit of the rules.

You guys are nutters. I was trying to be all diplomatic & fluffy to the poor guy & his thread has been trashed by talk of spuds & nukes!

You wanna see a real gun...?

What a crazy, mixed-up thread!!!

Let's summarise....

Some guy is not very happy so he decides to quit.

Then the mods come in with some advice along with a few members who urge him to stay.

Then we have the two super tossers of TRF (you know who) encouraged by some of our super-tosserettes and some over-sized baked potatoes who manage to mangle the thread and change its course all over the place......

Then "How the hell did I get dragged into this one?" comes into play!!

And, finally, the OP must be so confused and laghing his ass off by now, that I'm sure he's decided to stay!!

Hell, why would anyone want to quit TRF under their own steam?

There's only ONE way out of TRF!! The BAN button!!

Cheers - JJ
