schmitz Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) I often read posts (almost every day), I always read the signature-lines. Can't escape that feeling that the signature-lines tell more about a person than their posts... Comments please.... Henny.

Middle Man Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) Henny brings up an interesting point. The signature lines can be a lot of things... serious, funny, or just an inside joke. Reading them is something like reading the (bumper) stickers we often put on our cars. I graduated from Auburn University in 1998, you know I still have have an AU sticker and fraternity greek letters on my truck's back window. I even replaced them with new, brighter stickers about two years ago. Edit to add...am I living in the past on this one, too nostalgic perhaps? My signature, I was just playing on a work related theme. Edited February 19, 2006 by Middle Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Di Vita Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I agree. I think the one liners people use tell a lot about their character and mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carinab Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 The first line is also my avatar from the aikido group I'm in. I just think it so aptly describes IPSC - each encounter (stage) only offers you one chance. The second line is from a Dan Millman book and is a reminder to pay attention to everything because if you aren't paying attention you can't learn... And the last line...well, that is our esteemed host and his witty observation (pun intentional). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I agree, Henny. BTW, Jake, the quote ends: "Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierruiggi Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) I consider myself an analytical person. Therefore, I'm an analytical shooter. I, of course, do the things that feel right and work. But I have an unquenchable (I hope that's a word) thirst for knowing WHY it feels right and/or work. I watched the movie Equilibrium and I considered that particular monologue by a character about the birth of the Gun Kata to be pretty accurate about reflecting my personality/style. By the way, I'll also jump on the "quotes reflect peoples personalities" bandwagon. Even if you mean them as jokes or a little trivia, or like some people do (although I haven't seen this in this forum) post your gun collection. They still talk about your persona and personality.

ipscbob Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Can't escape that feeling that the signature-lines tell more about a person than their posts... I always thought the opposite!

Chills1994 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Without getting too political here...I'm from soutwestern Illinois/St. Louis metropolitan area. Chicagoans like to call us "downstate". I'm just a little ticked about that term. I think it carries a negative conotation. Chicago politicians want more gun laws. Daly/Blagovich are pushing for the State's own Assault Weapons Ban. Furthermore, the former governor, Ryan, should be standing trial shortly for all of his corruption activities. I think Chicago should be separate from the rest of Illinois, kinda like D.C. is it's own entity. They can just leave the rest of us "downstater's" alone!
