Anyone who owns a fire arm must be a hick or redneck.? Nice one!? So
clear, we didn't even have to assume what you meant.? It must be a
terrible burden to "share correspondence" with them.??

I don't like when dealers gang up on each other, then again I do NOT read the threads when they do.?

A possible solution Peter is that you can click delete the ones in your inbox related to that thread.
OR if you read from the website, do not click on the links that follow
the post that has a topic that might potentially ruffle your feathers.?
This might be a mature solution. I do not want to force anything on you or take away your right to post what you want to post.

Also:
Next time you feel the need to announce something like this, try to model it something along the lines of this:

Dear Listees

I do not like the debate on guns. Bye.

-Peter

All I'm trying to point out is that your current style of writing makes you look like a sissy and a jerk.
First you take a jab that gun owners are rednecks etc..
Then mention that you are so scared that you must be comforted by a grown woman.
I seriously doubt either of those are true.?

What you said in text is not what you meant.? The underhand message is bluntly rude.
I would not want anyone to post saying "I never thought I would see the day when I would be sharing correspondence with 'pussies'".

I look forward to seeing your posts on the list, and I don't mean posts like this one.
