Please no politics!!!
On other boards I couldn't believe the number of stinkin TROLLS that suddenly make thier appearance as soon as you mentioned the election. I guess that's what they do using their suped up search engines to monitor 'Firearm' boards and as soon as you say anything they don't like they appear and as soon as you can blink they're gone.
The damage and the destruction they leave behind ain't pretty!!! Frowner

As a new member of the board, where's a good place to introduce myself?

Maybe a General Discussion forum is needed?

Say BadKarma,

Welcome aboard. Generally the Tall Tales section is for yarns, introductions and stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Stick around, learn, and teach when you can. Lots of knowledgeable and friendly people on this list...maybe some of their good karma will rub off.

Thanks sparks.

As for the Karma, I'm only "BadKarma" for my opponents. Wink

IMO, politics (and religion) have no place on good muzzleloading sites...and they are not needed.

Those forums ALWAYS degenerate into a small camp of a few people who live in them using it as their own 'bully pulpit', as their own 'chat room' if you will. Soon a clique is formed and they then usually attack any other member's opinion en masse, who dares to post something counter to the clique's established political position.

Stick with the mission and purpose of this muzzleloading site...expand to include other ML related areas as appropriate of course...but do NOT set up politics and religious forums...to do so just establishes a place for them to congregate, and worse, condones the behavior which ALWAYS gets out of hand...tainting the reputation of more than one good ML site.

My .02 cents

Politics and Religion, two of my favorite topics! As an ordained minister and a Patriot, I got no use for folks who practice either and miss the whole reason for 'em to start with!

Skinnin' 'coon, the smell of black powder in the mornin', a deep strong stream, folks around a fire, now them's some things to dwell on.

Will,
You join a bunch of ministers on this site.

Hombre del Bosque, Fiddlesticks, and Snakebite for three. Seems there are more but I can't remember...

Hey Sparks,

I've kind'a picked up on that over the months I been nosin' around here. But, spiritual affiliation aside, I find I've got a lot more in common with folks who hang out around campfires than most other crowds.

TO LINDA,

I suggest we start with Sgt. Steve Cole.. Right now he is in the Middle East.. I think he is do back before Christmas... Besides the photos of him in Mike N. art. on little shoots, I took several others at the Turkey shoot in Nov... Tell me what you need as to pix info. and I can forward them to you... I have no photos of him in uniform... Only from the turkey shoot... As Mike N. said, it was a small "FUN" shoot... I was my usual "can't hit the broad side of a barn self", but had a great time... Sgt. Cole is the only current service member photo I have.

All of the ones I have are yours to use anytime..
