Sprags Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Some say it's attention seeking when you start a thread to announce you are leaving a forum, I'm not saying that it's the case here, just commenting. If you decide to leave a forum in my opinion you should just pm the admin, out of courtesy, and just not log in again after that. Anyway, take care.

Bluebarrels Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 yep in my short term on here 18 months or so noticed the back biting back stabbing and general bullying that goes from people who should know better has escalated over the last few months,it ****** me and a lot of other members off, they don,t contribute any knowledge or post any pics of days out, just rather pick fault and put derogatory posts on. like you say i have met and shot with quite a few members off here who i wouldn,t of crossed paths with but for pw,so i say theres a lot more going for it than against, but your decision. yickdaz spot on mate,quite a few in that clique who never post pictures of bags/days out etc,and have too much to say about everything still a good few on here who actually are intrested in shooting,we all know who they are by the pics / posts etc they stick on here,for the rest maybe we should call it pigeon whinge,instead of pigeon watch BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 pm the admin, out of courtesy Yeah, great idea. I PM them everyday to tell them that I am not leaving. Many good people have moved on, been banned or post less. This has made room for a lot more cock-ends on here spouting faeces. The PW peak has been passed and it's coming down the other side. Bring back Dusty Fox :yp:, MC, Mrs Sweepy, Ron Berettaman, StuartP, Zapp Brannigan, PhilSIDC and all the other lovely people. Good luck Harnser whatever you decide. :good: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Harnser, I've not had the pleasure of meeting you. I've always read your posts with interest and will be very disappointed to see you go and believe PW will be the poorer for it. The Bunker thread was an all time classic, and kept me entertained for a good few hours. All the best, Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I saw the last long range quarry shooting thread the other day, and sure as eggs are eggs it went down the same well trodden path as all those that went before it. I too don't get it - "why not get a little bit nearer?" appears to be the best answer to those threads Don't get steamed up. On the previous long range quarry threads I got stuck in - the last one, I couldn't be bothered I now know that there is a silent normal majority that will be reading those threads, rolling their eyes, muttering and just not bothering to post. There's no point leaving or the nobbers win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point leaving or the nobbers win These two posts sum it up pretty well. There are a higher than usual number of bellends on here at the moment I've noticed there is a sudden rush of cornholers who rush on, announcing that they're newbies and within half a dozen posts, they're giving advice or arguing with advice that they've been given. Tools Where do these turkeys come from? Not like the old days, but it'll probably go full circle, these things often do.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Blimey, I am now getting PMs about all the folk that I mentioned. Here's the lowdown - Dusty Fox - got banned for being a total helmet MC - got banned. He is now living in Brighton with his partner "Geoff". Mrs Sweepy - she still posts occasionally. Had to get a restraining order on the bloke that won her bra on the first charity shoot. Ron Berettaman - now teetotal and working as a Alcoholics Anonymous councillor StuartP - pre op transexual working in a charity shop in Dudley Zapp Brannigan - applied to be a Mod, got knocked back and now works evenings on a gay dating site. PhilSIDC - Ironically got run down by a Subaru and has forgotten that he even owned one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triscrx Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Very sad that you have decided to leave I do not visit the forum often enough but I have always enjoyed your posts. All forums have a feeling of good/bad times. I look back on my time served in the forces and say the recruits coming through now are right scroats and 'its changed' however when I joined I expect the older fellas then were saying the same thing! Rather than leaving as many have said stay and guide the younger members who don't have the knowledge into being more mature and knowledgeable shooters without the guidance they will continue on their current course and by leaving YOU are allowing shooting to take a turn for the worst by doing nothing..

njc110381 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Harnser - your post makes me feel quite sad for the way things are going. I've always liked reading your posts and really respect you as one of the best contributors to the forum. You seem a decent and genuine bloke who loves his sport and the forum needs people like you. I don't feel it's my place to try to change your mind, but I do feel that your leaving is a great loss to PW. Good luck for the future and hopefully one day you may decide to drop by and let us know how you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
