Well...I can say this...

I'll never believe anything *ANYONE* SAYS EVER AGAIN!! I am heartbroken

*Unless it's the IRS

((runs off to get the superglue))


Like little Willy said, I am too dense to know when I am being punked, so carry on. I'm just a hand puppet....(don't stick your hand up there!)

Here's a tip. NEVER EVER believe what you read on a forum, or what a guy says in a bar.

BG may surprise you yet Brody, he has a habit of making people think he's lying when in fact he is not. Only time will tell.


BG is out.

[Big Gunns]

This means you have plenty of time to get your shots in BG's detractors. They'll stand for an hour or two.......maybe.

[West Coast Jungle]

Fake Blonde moment you mean.

BG is off to train the Gunns fans. He shall return though. You all can go and get some work done now.

Ouch, I think you should be a leeetle more polite to the nice southern lady

Treat them "politely" and they walk all over yah. Every guy knows that.

Never question Big Gunns methods. Learn from them...you'd be amazed at the knowledge(not much) his Greatness has.

OK....because I'm a "hand puppet," and a host of other things called by Wilomn, I'm gonna parrot some more things. I'm old enough not to be afraid of any one that isn't paying my bills or actively doing anything that directly affects me. I won't be made to feel that I can't post somewhere or someone will turn on ME (this manipulation actually works on some).

I had fun in the thread! What if BG was just poking fun at people's tendency to believe whatever is said on the Internet? If it was said here by some of you, it MUST be true, right?

What I learned a long time ago, is that the forum (any forum) can be filled with self-serving liars, and the one with the nastiest mouth is the one that people will try to avoid getting attention from. That doesn't mean anyone "fears" them, it just means that a lot of us know that "LIFE IS TOO DAMN SHORT TO CONSTANTLY HAVE TO DEAL WITH NEGATIVENESS IN ANYONE."

I know eventually, the members will get tired of snarky snipes (there is a difference in tone even on the Internet between snarky snipes and good clean poking fun at a general behavior).

**I learned a loooong time ago, to take everything said on the Internet with a grain of salt, so this "lesson" (if that's what it was) didn't affect me adversely. Perhaps the ones that tend to believe everything said, now have an understanding that even if someone is a breeder or flipper, that doesn't necessarily mean that we should take everything they say as "gospel."

I don't think it has anything to do with flipping.

The lesson is a bit more complex than that. It has to do more with baiting a trap (in this case with something that is more than likely true) and then watching people bicker and fight over whether or not the bait exists.

With one post, and a little bit of benign encouragement, this thread ballooned into a borderline brawl. Several little fights broke out, accusations were made and it snowballed from there.

This thread was more about holding a mirror up to people's forum tendencies.........I think you can figure out what those tendencies are.

At some point, the pic and the punch-line should be provided, otherwise many people will not understand what the lesson even was.

Are we about to be schooled by his Thighness again?

Big Gunns has the coolest one on earth. This guy has more personality than most people. Just curious to see if anyone else has one.

Methinks maybe.

Pics??????? Pics just won't do this dude justice. He needs his own TV show, and just may get one some day.

Well, dense I am.

If that was the intent of the thread, it did show me the true colors of some people.

But on another note...it was still funny as hell, and I don't for ONE minute think that anyone else took this so seriously!

No rolly-eyes needed. The intent has been discussed on another forum and alluded to by Mr. I'm-Not-Neil-Golli-But-I-Am-Neil here on this very thread.

I've seen it done before and so has Big Gunns. It's more a commentary on how people react to claims and how quickly people will turn on each other on these somewhat anonymous forums.

Having said that, there are people that are much more subtle than His Mouthiness at doing it.

My personal opinion is that at some point you let people in on the joke. If you don't, it just becomes a form of bullying - it just becomes the perpetrator laughing behind his hand at his victims.

I'm guessing you are single?

I kill them with kindness and have never been walk on. (note the kill them part,)
