Isom Dart, SASS#8096 Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 I'm a member of quite a few forums, and some I just go on for info and to read.Without a doubt this is one of the nicest sites I've been on, with the nicest people,,,,,,,,,, even with our differences about whatever the issue is. Cowboys seem to know how to agree to disagree.Some of the forums are just unbelievable, sometimes they're like a barroom brawl. Cowboys are the best !! : Just sayin" Be proud Cowboys, I am.

Pat Riot Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Very true, Isom Dart. It seems that some people have no couth when it comes to how they act on line...or probably anywhere. The best people that I have ever known, as a whole, are here in SASS and on the Wire. Quote
The Coconino Pistolero, SASS # 72432 Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Yes, they is. Quote
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Hey!! Isom!! More of us shoot 10 ga. than folks on those other forums!! You should feel right at home here!! Quote
Curly McCrae Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 I enjoy reading the keyboard battles that take place on some Youtube videos. If talk could kill, there would be a lot of dead bodies slumped over keyboards with Youtube on the monitors. The SASS site has very good administrators, who keep a close eye on the posts and troublemakers are usually dealt with quickly. Quote
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Isom I believe we shot on the same possee at the Ga State match 6-8 years ago. If you are the fellow Im thinking of Howdy and if not Howdy anyway. Imis Quote
Dantankerous Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Yup. The anonymity of the keyboard allowing anyone to be brave and brash without recourse. Some call it the keyboard commando syndrome. Â The crass and rude anonymous online commentary and insults just more fuel to add to the fire of decaying morals in the culture. Something about no more individual accountability. Â Seems as if the quote, "I hate rude behavior in a man." applies here. Â I am glad cowboys, er, uh, I mean cowfolk to be PC, don't follow the crowd. We stand on our own. Â This SASSWIRE is always a great place to seek friendship and refuge from the rest of the online world, if to nothing more than read and re read posts. Â There have been a few disagreements here but the mods usually stop it if'n the offenders ain't not already come to an understanding and smoothed things over. Â Good topic, OP. And good observation.

Isom Dart, SASS#8096 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Posted January 14, 2017 +1 Imis,, I think we were on the same possee,,,,,,,,, Howdy back atcha' Isom Quote
Shotgun Clay Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 "An armed society is a polite society." Science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein, quoting ...uh, some French philosophe. I've seen some pretty good flame wars on Shotgun World. Their Browning forum is exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially when it comes to sleuthing out info on older A-5's. Quote
Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Isom and Blackwater, are you fellow 10 gauge shooters? I'd use my 8 gauge 3-1/2" more if it was legal. Once in a while, I use it for a local match. It's a Parker with 4-1/4" chambers that belonged to my great,great grandfather. I try to be friendly so I have my fellow competitors step way back. It makes for a great blast and boom even with Fg. Quote

Marshal Ruger Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Howdy Isom Dart, I agree with you about the SASS forum, but I definitely prefer the comradery at the SASS matches before, during, and after the matches. It's been a while since we shot together at Lonesome Valley Regulators, I need to get back with you all. Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Let's not forget the MODERATORS on this forum, if things get wild and wooly they shut it down! Quote

Joe West Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Meeting and becoming friends with new people was our best quality. We didn't put cas matches together to give away money prizes, we came from other shooting sports, racing, or whatever seeking something different. Our gatherings were like a big reunion with new family members each time. The best matches still are. That attitude carries over to most folks that post. But any group with Isom Dart in it automatically goes up a notch. When Kid Concho , Isom ,and me were shooting together that was as good as it gets. Quote
