sir, I want to apologize, though my feelings about you haven't changed and probably never will I shouldn't have spoken as harshly to you as I did.

fact is there's just something about you that rubs me the wrong way, I can't help how I feel and you can't help being you, you have as much of a right to this forum as I do.

what y'all need to realize though is for a long time this forum had a certain feel to it, everybody knew one another, for the most part everyone was or is good friends with one another, it was like a big family, now in a very short amount of time we have 20 to 30 new members most of whom are strangers at least to me and it's FCC this and FLOTEP that and to me and some of the other members it just doesn't have that feeling that it used to, we're feeling pushed out, like this is the new FCC or something.

now i can't speak for the others but I think if y'all would tone all that crap down( i'm speaking to everyone here, not just joe) then we could all get along.

i'm going to take a break from the forum for a few days and cool off, hopefully with time things will change for the better, if not I''ll just move on down the road, I've made some really great friends here and appreciate every one of them.

i hope this Forum can continue to be the best out there.

Thanks , I'm glad you wrote this apology. You're a real great guy and it wasn't making much sense to me. You have given a lot to the people here. Joe also in the short time he has been here. You both are very genuine and caring guys. I just absolutely love the grips you made for my CCO and gave to me here. I brag about those grips to everyone that sees that gun. And Joe knew I liked sunflowers and sent me a box of seeds and cow poop. I mean how can that not make you smile. I got to like a guy that sends me cow poop. Thank you both for being here and being a part of this place and my life.

I have to take some blame....I invited the best of the best from that forum...folks I felt would fit in. Although I have nothing to do with how quick full membership is given, I understand the resentment of some. But the folks *I* invited are folks I respect (even ) and belong here. Leave the Flotep sh*t be. I never liked it

I have gotten that same feeling, New click in town and they want to stay that way, not trying to make friends with the older members. We use to be a family here key word use to be.....Kinda of had a Mayberry feel to it, Now it's like being in New York.
