Big Gunns answer to a pm from JLC

[Big Gunns]

This thread has turned into hours of entertainment (literally I just spent an hour reading through it).
The cove and whale wars are a little controversial, some of their methods do border on vigilantism, however something does need to be done and sometimes it’s the only way to get the attention necessary to make changes to current policy. There are many different ways to contribute to our planet BG is doing what works best for him and like all people he wants to be recognized for his efforts, he is louder than most, but he is a narcissist (come on look at your screen name and back shots, great lat’s by the way) and what narcissist doesn’t like attention (which is why he especially loves his haters, your all giving him attention). I see where he is coming from by choosing to help animals, I’m not a people person either, when Katrina happened I went to New Orleans to help out animal control and provide my services as a vet tech. The charities that I give time and money to, all have to do with animals or children because they don’t have the means to help themselves. So I say keep it up, Neil if this helps you feel like you are making a difference well, God bless you and keep it up and who gives a crap what anyone else says.

It's funny what you said about kids and animals because BG feels the same way. However, BG has visited countries where the adults clearly needed help also from no fault of their own.

I gotta apologize to you. I called you a "baboon" a few posts back........

Even though it was done in an affectionate way, I understand that it was hurtful and unfair to both you and any baboons that may read this.

In other words. Your comment got no reaction from BG the first time so you said it again hoping it might work this time. Sorry to disappoint you.....again BG will admit though. It was very clever on your part.....not

Guys,

We are trying very hard not to toss this thread into QT or flat out delete it.

But we cannot allow these constant personal attacks and name calling either.

Please try and stay within the boundaries or, if you cannot stop yourself, turn that aspect into PM's between yourselves.

Or, you know, the ignore feature is still available to all but the unfortunate staff.

BG does have a suggestion. You could very easily move the bickering back and forth posts on the thread between BG and his haters to the QT(it's been done before)..... there it will die a slow death because Willy has scared BG to death and he won't enter to keep the thread alive. The whole thread should end then, but don't worry fans, BG will post another to keep your BG entertainment fix fulfilled.

BG will say this in his defense Doc. Big Gunns only uses his personal nicknames for his fans/obsessed haters. Just like he calls you Doc.

ps. You do realize that getting this thread to the QT is what they've been trying to do all along. You're a Doc...maybe you can help them with their BG sickness.

Oh BG, lol. I assure you it's not this time.

[Big Gunns]

One more thing. BG might have quite a few characteristics(OK more than a few) of a "narcissist", but if you think BG doesn't care about others and their feelings.....you have never met BG. BG would much rather spend his time with a typical "everyday" person. BG hates the true "narcissist" and has met quite a few in this bizz.

Ok,

Some portions of this thread have been moved to the Quarantine room and can now be found here.

Anyone who wishes access should contact any member of the Admin team (names in red in the userlist ).

Since there were both good and less desirable aspects to several post this may result in this thread now seeming somewhat disjointed. Sorry about that but I did my best.

Good job Doc. BG didn't look to see what you did, but he's sure you did your best.

BG hates that it had to come to that, but he knows you guys are trying to run a family oriented forum here.

Big Gunns wasn't trying to cause a headache for you guys, but it was pretty much a given in BG's mind that it would turn out like it did.

I never thought you were a true narcissist BG, but based on your posts and the fact that you write in third person most of the time, well there are some traits like you said.

Did you spit in Wilomn's cheerios he really hates you, like it's almost scary.

Oh, okay I see. I ask for this thread to go to QT and I get the owner telling me the mods will do it when they think it needs to be done. But BG makes mention of it and within minutes it's done.

What's going on here. Who's running the show here?

Come on Judy!

Mr. Smith, the staff does not take action just because a member stamps his foot like a petulant preschooler. This "show" is run by the Admin Team and I don't expect you, or any single individual, to agree with or like every single decision we make. I won't bother with the ridiculous comment that implies that BG somehow dictated what happened with this thread being split, because no matter what I say, you will believe what you've already set yourself to believe and no amount of discussion will change that.

Can we talk via PM?

Us.

I know it won't help but I might as well try and explain my train of thought.

The thread continued to deteriorate after your interaction ended and leaving it as was seemed less and less viable.

I made an attempt to reign it back slightly by a request in the thread. The more I thought about it afterwards the less chance I saw of it working.

Since we still wanted to keep the thread viewable the notion of splitting out the worst of it was one I was already considering. I didn't do it at first because, frankly, it is a pain in the onions to weed through 10 pages of petty squabbling evaluating each post at 4am my time.

When I logged back in this afternoon it seemed a less irritating job so I did it (12.42pm if you want to be precise ). This was four and a half hours after BG posted - not "within minutes". And it was still an irritating job.

If you want to make certain this has been done before search for the word "removed" in the thread titles in QT.

Your request was to move the whole thread to QT which we do not want to do and still have not done - though I am now considering it more and more since it seems people cannot just let it go.

Lesson learned though - next time I'll just infract everyone for general hostility and delete the whole thread.
