What a relief to find this place. I have been on the "other" HD forum, and will never go back. While there are some great guys there, the abundance of Rambos and the LEO haters are just too much to have to deal with. It's like being around a bunch of 3rd graders arguing in the schoolyard.

I hope you guys will allow me to hang around.

Thanks for the welcome FXR2.

No, I've been reading here for a long time, and I can assure you that this place is very tolerable and civilized compared to others. It just seems more ............ "mature". :cheers:

I look forward to reading, sharing, and having intelligent conversations with the membership.

I find I'm able to keep up with more than one forum. It is okay to belong to more than one, isn't it?
It's OK to belong to 12 if that's your thing. I belong to more than one on a couple of other interests. But as far as I can tell, there are only 2 HD forums that are worth visiting. And this one is by FAR the better of the two.

I just get tired of reading 90+ arguments about a LEO roadblock set up to check licenses being a violation of their (notice I didn't say MY) constitutional rights and was illegal.

One guy said that he'd tell the officer..."Sorry, but you can't see my license under these circumstances". I'd pay BIG money to be a bystander when that happened. :hystria:

emirharley....I'll take the Premium member thing into serious consideration. Give me a couple of weeks to get settled. :coffee:

Be honest now. What you're really upset about is that you couldn't persuade those guys into subscribing to your point of view. It can be a tough crowd over there and they weren't buying so you took your ball and came over here.
Absolutely incorrect. And I'm definitely NOT upset.

Everyone has differing points of view in many different topics. I have no problem with that. But the general attitude is very different from what I want to be around. Common sense is a very valuable tool in life, and it seems to get lost with some folks. I'll never back away from a civil discussion and an exchanging of information. That's a most valuable learning tool. But there are differing "sections" of our population that subscribe to very different outlooks on life and what deserves our attention. Maybe I'm weird, but the general attitude wasn't one that I agreed with. I guess that at 55 yrs old and retired, maybe I just didn't fit in with that particular group. Heck, I might not fit in here either. I guess time will tell. I'm well educated, fairly level headed, and try to get along with everyone who treats me fairly. And if things don't work out....I'll move along. I'm sure you guys won't care either way.

It seemed to me that each and every time I posted there that a certain member had to commit an all-guns-ready attack on whatever I said. I guess I had my own personal troll......

But that's a moot point. Your deduction as to why I came here is incorrect, and I'd just prefer to move forward. It really isn't worth the time to discuss it, IMO.

They beat him up pretty good but in all fairness, he was giving it right back. I just found it funny that he came here telling people how tough they were on him but he didn't bother to mention his part in the argument.
Yeah....but you didn't see the private messages that I got......and it wasn't the first time it happened. As for my part in the discussion, it was "tame" considering the messages I received that you couldn't see.

But that's my side of the story, huh? (I said it before you did). It almost seems to me like you are trying to get me riled up because of something that you "think" you know about, but don't have even 1/2 of the facts or information. If you want to start a ruckus, I'm sure that some of my posts will provide you ample opportunity.

BTW, is this the welcome that is usually presented to new members that are unsatisfied elsewhere and come here seeking a better / different experience?

But for now, like I said...can't we just drop this mess and move forward?
