Petey:
What an interesting post! So full of innuendo!
First, my comment regarding your "sillyness" was not prompted by your "flying pig" statement, rather, it had to do with your contrived list of questions that you felt Simpson should have posed to various persons prior to making any statement regarding the two Krieghoff pistols pictured in Gibson's reference. As inane as your "pig" comment was, it was not worthy of comment.
But, Golly Gee, Petey! I cannot wonder but why you would post a quote that I made in an earlier thread, regarding an entirely different subject, a post which was directed to someone else and then imply that what I posted there was appropo here?! You say that I am "hostile" and "mean spirited". I would have thought that a person, such as you, that is only interested in presenting the whole picture, would have quoted me in context. There by, the readers of this thread could have gotten an accurate read and made that own decision regarding my surlyness and whether it was , or was not, justified.
I might also point out, and, of course your know this since your are a moderator, that I was reprimanded for using the language that I did in the post that you mention. The reprimand was done off forum to my personal email address. I was told that, on this site, language used should be such that it would not be offensive to any one that might click on to the site (this is not a direct quote, but close enough for working tolerances). Well, I can live with that, however, if what I said was the basis for censure, why did you repeat those offensive words verbatum? Still, since you brought this up, I can't help but think that there is a certain amount of truth in what I said, and if you feel that what I "asserted" applies to you, then so be it.
One final comment, and then let us get on to our "first love, lugers". I am not one of the persons on this forum that is awaiting the "facts and proofs" that are needed to prove or disprove Brad Simpson's assertions. I don't know who "we all" is, but most certainly, I am not one of them.
Golly, how I love the commeraderie found here! The intellectual give and take!
Good Hunting,
