AikiDale Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I'm with Eric, WTH? You leave Sam and I'll be offended! Note to self: round gun shooters are so sensitive.... If what we have here is a failure to communicate let's work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The problem with the internet is that it's frequently impossible to convey the intonation you meant because you typed what you "heard" verbally in your head. That's unfortunate. Big Dave and I had a "disagreement" on here very recently, but I in no way think ANY less of Dave - because we both realized we wanted exactly the same thing but were expressing the desire differently. Adult intellectual discourse isn't for everybody, and based on what I've seen from you over the years, you aren't the one with the problem. Take two beers out of petty cash and make me pay up if we ever meet. I hope you reconsider and stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sam, before you leave for good ...... take a look around this crazy place, and you will see more friends than you ever knew existed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlktheduk Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sam. please stick around. You still haven't told me if your (very pretty, BTW) 6" barrelled Model 25 is better then your 5" Model 625. It certainly did better then my 625 did at the Kentucky Sectional last weekend Take care, and it was a pleasure seeing you last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt S Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 DON'T GO AWAY. I've enjoyed reading what you say and it makes me THINK. That can't be bad. PLEASE STAY WITH US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sam I haven't met you but sure have enjoyed you on the forum. Stick around. I know my comments have stired up some controversy from time to time but that's life. Sometimes you just have to speak your mind. I hope you reconsider and join the discussions often.

spook Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Howdy Sam, I am really sorry to hear how you are feeling. You are definately one of the nicest guys I know. Please don't leave the forum. The wheelgunners need you! Bjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Best of luck with what ever you finally decide. I stopped posting in the IDPA forum because of problems and have cut way back here. I have found I am better off reading. As for the reading part, I really enjoy seeing what you have to say. Regards, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nesbitt Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hi Sam, One more wheelgunner that wants you to stay. I enjoy your input to the Forum. The Ohio State last year would not have been the success it was without your help here on the forums. Wheelgunning needs you. Stick around.

Airedale Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sam, Don't know what happened, hope you don't go. You have my number-call if you need me. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sam, please tell us this is some sort of hilljack calendar mix-up and you thought it was April Fool's Day! Seriously now--don't know what happened, but it's hard to believe that any reasonable person could get upset by anything you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 It would piss me off if you left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38superman Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sam, Let me add my voice to the chorus. First, there is nothing wrong with your communication skills. I have read many of your posts and nothing I have seen was unclear or offensive. You have offered a lot of insight to the other wheelgunners and shooters in general. It would be a shame if you left because some individual got bent out of shape over something you wrote. Whatever it was, they'll just have to get over it. I always write what I think. Some people may appreciate my point of view, some won't. Either way I think the folks in IPSC are the greatest and count everyone of them as friend. No one wants to see you leave the forum over some silly misunderstanding. Your thoughts are always welcome in my little corner of cyberspace.

JFD Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Don't go! You've helped waaaaay too many people to think you could ever be a negative influence on this forum. Me included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Mi compadre Samuel, I don't know what happened and who you might think you pissed off. However, although I'd respect any decision you make on this issue, I don't think it deserves you leaving all your friends behind and without your words of wisdom, humor and sound advise. I don't think there's anybody else on this e-place with a greater difficulty on expressing thoughts in English than myself and I'm still here. Frustrating sometimes, but still here nonetheless. I think we have ALL at one point or another pissed off somebody else here. Some times because text on a screen and smilies not necessarily express our thoughts in full or accurately, and some times because the other person is just too sensitive to the subject, and some just enjoy pissing off other people. But you are not of the latter category. You and I have developed a nice friendship that started thanks to these forums. I don't have enough chances to hang out with you, so this is the closest I get to spend time with my friend "The Hop". I sincerely hope you'd reconsider but if you decide to leave anyway you know where I live and where to call me. Please don't leave me here by myself to the mercy of Cliff and Carmoney (and his legalese and dremelese). I don't understand them and you translate for me what they say.

R112mercer Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sam; Stick around, bro. It sounds like a misunderstanding to me. Nothing a little time won't fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffwalsh Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sam, If you are going to leave ( I hope you don't), please let us know what happened to bring you to this course of action. Maybe it will help someone else avoid a misunderstanding. There are not many people I am prettier than so it is good to have you around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Couple points I've been planning to make here: 1.) Why is this happening...? 2.) Not everyone does journalism for a living so some of us find e-mail and forum posting perhaps a little challenging... (or some of us take offense at some unintended something online too quickly), so don't feel all bent and bad if you think you're not a whiz-bang journalist at the keyboard. 3.) Point No. 1 is still the priority point. Who got ticked off and when and why.....?.... Regards, SL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayoupirate Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Stick around!!! I don't even shoot a revolver, but alway enjoy reading your post. I'm even thinking of getting into ICORE, because of the Enthusiasm and Zeal that you've displayed with your posting here. Don't Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genghis Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sam - I don't yet shoot a round gun, but I've read a lot of your posts and learned from them. You always seem low-key and very, very knowledgeable. If someone p*ssed you off so bad you're thinking of leaving the forum, chances are that says more about them than about you. People like that tend to have the credibility they deserve. So don't hold it against the rest of the members. Stick around and keep contributing!
