You need help.

ENOUGH!!! Apparently we have some people here who don't understand that this is NOT A DEMOCRACY and who have not read our Code of Conduct or forgot about it or thought I was kidding when I wrote it. Like your parents all probably told you while growing up, two wrongs do not make a right. If you think a moderator is wrong, don't put yourself in the wrong by violating our CoC. If you have questions, by all means contact them or me privately. But do not think for one second that I am going to tolerate anarchy on this forum. DO NOT ARGUE WITH THE MODERATORS PUBLICLY!!!

When you become a Benefactor, you are supporting the site and in return receiving certain perks (like the Trading Post) that others do not. You aren't buying into the management of the site. Sorry.

I gave it enough time to play out and see where he was headed. TGO doesn't need people like that.

Lowrentguy won't be joining us anymore.

My 9C is quickly becoming one of my favorite handguns.

My KY permit was issued in '95. My TN permit was issued in '97.

In my experience, $9 relays are worth what you pay for them.

Swap the horn relay for the magnetic clutch relay (they are the same on those cars) and see if the problem goes away. The magnetic clutch relay is under the hood. If so, bad relay. If not, it may be the compressor itself.

You need to take your own advice there, chief.

Rentaldude, you need to keep in mind that while you're free to live life the way you choose, so too are others. You have zero right to tell them how to live, what choices to make, when to be armed, etc. Until you start paying their wages, you need to keep it in check.

Tennesspeed.net also. Mine.

Yeah. It's up to 4.0.3 now as well. It's very different. The guy who writes the vbDynamics software that we use for our Posted Locations / Gun Shops / Ranges database finally got off of his ass and started re-writing it for vB4. I'm still not sold on the idea of sticking with vBulletin, but this makes it a little more lucrative to stay.

I don't think you were being petty at all. There is an innate desire within each of us as freedom-loving Americans to speak up and express our side of the argument to those who would make patently absurd statements like your co-worker did. However, we sometimes must temper our reactions with an awareness of the dynamics of the situation. Had this exchange occurred off company property and off company time (for both parties) then I personally would have felt more liberty to say exactly what was on my mind. Some people, even in this thread, apparently feel that keeping mum at work is akin to selling out your beliefs. People like that concern me, not only in relation to topics like this but in a lot of other facets of life as well. They look before they leap; they speak without fully thinking through the possible ramifications. Everyone "sells out" a little bit all throughout the day. If you observe the speed limit, you're not living out your desire to drive however fast you want. If you're speeding and you slam on the brakes when you see a cop, you're not carrying through on the idea that you'll do whatever you please, damn the consequences. We all know that with every action, there is a reaction. Sometimes those reactions may mean that you lose your source of income and the ability to provide food and shelter for yourself or your family. In the grand scheme of things, using some intelligence about when to make a big deal out of your personal beliefs on the job is as much a part of your overall tactics for keeping your family taken care of as is the decision to go armed for your protection.

Do you realize how old this thread is?

In today's economy you really need to watch what you say or do on the job. Provoking a fellow employee (what she did) is not a smart move. Engaging an employee in an argument (what you did) isn't either. There are just too many overqualified people looking for jobs out there for an employer to put up with a bunch of crap between his or her employees. It's easier to just ****can them both and hire new. I leave my politics (and my holster) at the door when I clock in. Anyone who wants to be an idiot doesn't get to use me as their stooge because I don't give them the ammo nor do I give them the reaction they're looking for. Just one of those things I've learned over the course of the past 20 years working for the man. Everyone is expendable.

It doesn't really matter what you consider smutty. It matters what I consider smutty.

Because unlike you I don't have time to sort through each and every post made on this forum. If I see it, I address it.

If you're worried about data theft, you need to tighten your security measures. Hardware firewall/router, good antivirus suite with comprehensive antispyware tools, and for the love of God don't ever use Limewire, e-Mule or other similar person-to-person file sharing tools -or- download and install pirated software as many of these things carry trojan payloads that will open countless backdoors on your computer. File encryption and password protection are marginal means of security. Any of them can be bypassed given time. Password-based encryption does you little good if you've inadvertently installed software on your computer that performs key logging.

FYI... I do NOT want to see a lot of smutty pictures in this thread. For that matter, I don't want to see ANY of them. If your wallpaper is any more revealing than what Steelharp posted, don't bother.

This has been fixed.
