Ferris was always civil, wasn’t he?
Compared to some of the things happening lately yes he was a saint. He was just a dick whose personal experience meant more than both your personal experience and neutral facts.
Please don’t call him that. He said many things I totally disagreed with him on. Sometimes he pissed me off. Sometimes he went way too far. But I consider him a friend.
Well, if you find such a post, link me to it so I can look at the code. 😃
I got no idea where to look. I don’t know a date or a thread. 😦
I’m not going to take it back because that’s how I felt about him, but I won’t say it again because I said everything that I actually think on the subject.
Bagging on someone who’s been away a long time is as fair as bagging on someone who’s banned and can’t respond. Let’s refrain, okay?
Where were you in '77?
^Yeah, Ferris is a good member. I’m not too fond of bad vibes being thrown at him just because he happened to voice a differeing opinion than some of you had. I’m not saying he’s never had his bad days (haven’t we all?), but I’ve never seen him be entirely unreasonable or insulting beyold belief in any given discussion. I happen to have agreed with him on many subjects in the past, so I may be biased; if that be so, let it be.

No. It was that his personal experience meant more than anything else, including cold facts or your personal opinion, possibly could. Disagreement has nothing to do with it. It’s how you present yourself. He wasn’t nearly as bad about this sort of things as others that are still around though.
I don’t think I have ever seen him insulting beyond belief, but I have seen him be entirely unreasonable 😉
Depends on if you count condescension as insulting or not.

I think I remember some of the personal experiences being referred to, and they seem like pretty important and concrete personal experiences to base an opinion off of. And I don’t remember him ever disregarding “cold facts.” His personal experience can’t possibly be entirely different from reality in the first place, because they really happened, in reality. They (in his mind and memory) are “cold facts.”

ironically, when discussing gun control in the past, I brought my concern about bump stocks. Unfortunately, my concern was justified. I would be curious what Ferris would say.
You were actually the first person I thought of when I saw this video, because I remember you asking me what I thought of bump fire stocks.
The gun community consensus is that a “Gat Crank” was used here (basically a little crank handle you attach to your trigger guard and crank like “ye olde gatlinge gune” in order to actuate the trigger faster than your finger likely could [but not as fast or as smoothly as an actual automatic weapon]), but the basic objective remains the same: simulate automatic fire with a semi-automatic weapon for fun at the range.
It annoyed me because A. I knew this was going to happen, and B. I hate things like that because the gun rights issue is contentious enough without people deliberately going in and stretching the rules and trying to see what they can get away with in a legal grey area, because then we end up in this kind of situation where something has to give and a lot of the time what gives are our rights.
Hopefully we see a nice ATF ban on Gat Cranks and Bump Fire Stocks and that’s the end of it. Good riddance.
Welcome back, btw.
JEDIT: Just looked at the pictures of the guns and it actually looks like a bump fire stock rather than a Gat Crank. Whoops.
Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Welcome back, btw.
Thanks!

I agree both Gat Cranks and bump fire stocks should be banned.
Jeeze I’m out for a bit and Warb’s back and husezni’s not. Guess I really am going to eat those minstrels now.

Be sure to pan fry then steam cook them. It’s the Canadian way.
I found husezni’s posts entertaining in a sort of “plan 9 from outer space” way. As for Ferris, I disagreed with him virtually every time but I never found him disagreeable.

It’s confirmed. Husezni is Mirror Bronner.

And his shift key worked more consistently too. I admit it’s not a perfect analogue.
Every single one of husezni’s posts made me want to punch babies.
Actually, just one baby in particular: the one with his face on it.

So does anyone know how to post pics side by side?
I don’t think there is currently a code for posting 2 picture side by side on here (though happy to be proved wrong - and like Wook says - if there is one out there please link to it 😃)
You may find it easier to use a program like MS Paint to create a new image - then post the 2 images you wish to use and place them side-by-side and then save that image. You can then upload that newly created image to a photo sharing site (imgur for example - quick, free and easy to use etc) - and then link to it on here.
Alternatively feel free to PM me the 2 images and I’ll knock up a side-by-side image for you.

Good folk - please lay off using words like ‘dick’ when criticising or critiquing fellow members.
Stating that they you may not have got on, or they pissed you off is somewhat ok - but leave the other insults off the site please - thank you.
