    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

in my opinion, kevin should probably choose his words more carefully in the future, but i personally doubt that he was sitting there thinking 'hmmm, i need to destroy this guy. how can i do that?' you make it sound as if it was a calculated decision with malicious intent. while i don't know kevin, he does not strike me as that kind of person.

did he lie? i don't know. no proof has been shown of that either way. it appears as though he was definitely a little quick to make comments on something he didn't do enough research on.

you have been asked several times to prove yourself, yet have failed to do so. at least on here.

but then again, i'm just some coward marine hoping that you'll come along to save me. what do i know?

Kevin has also been asked to prove any of the allegations he made. If you will read about 8 posts above, Dave caught him in a lie, so to answer your question, yes he did. Also your last statement in the above mishmash is stupid.
 
If when I made a statement against the kid that created all of this mess, if I IN ANY WAY insulted "Marines", that is in NO WAY my intent or goal. If at any time for any reason my words suggested any form of insult to any serviceman of any branch of the U.S military, I WILL/WOULD/DO APOLOGIZE BEYOND MEASURE. I do not believe I did this, but if I did so, it was not, nor would it ever be my intent to insult the mighty Marines. I am x-military, I marched next to and among Marines, Navy, Air Force, and even Coast Guard at Fort Bliss, Ft Hood, NTC, 29 PALMS (mostly Marines here), and more. Whoever you are, if I in any way, in any measure, showed any form of disrespect to the Marines, I stand-corrected and eat crow. The Marines helped make the U.S the great country it once was........and hopefully will one day become yet again! Know this, I bleed Red, White, & Blue.......anyone that knows me will agree. Sorry again 'if' any of my words have you that idea.
 
I got a suggestion Nick. Instead of just merely defending yourself by inviting anyone here to call you, or hitting up one of your "friends" to verify you are one smooth cat to deal with, and instead of writing huge paragraphs to do these things...just post up a copy of the DD214, and it would say all of that for you, PLUS actually PROVE that Kevin did in fact lie about you, which so far hasn't been proved or disproved.

Imagine, accomplishing ALL THAT...with one little picture.

Another little bit of advice...Just sharing my personal feelings with you really...when I here someone say repeatedly how good they are, or hard they fight, or how long their wee wee is, it usually tells me that in most cases, they are exactly the opposite of what they are boasting. It's proved true to me more times then I can count, and because of that, I tend to avoid those types. Usually when you truly are good at something or have a longer wee wee then the other fellas, it's not something that needs to be boasted about, because people already know.

Just saying. How many others you think might be turned off by such things?

Words of wisdom there Nick.
 
LOL! Well, sometimes a persons feelings on a matter are what may be important. Being attacked was more, and meant more to me and my family than it may have meant to you. I can't expect you to understand....you are on the outside looking in Bud.
As for my DD214, my service is STILL in question?! LMFAO! You're killn me....LOL....LMAO!!!!
Tell ya what, a DD214 is a bit sensitive for me to place in on the world wide web.....the email address you tried to insult me for listing, use it, feel free to email me, you can have your very own personal copy there Bud ;-) If you want a copy in person, stop on by, I'll even give you a copy along with a cold beer, absent all the insults of course ;-)
Now have a nice guys...........
 
I never questioned your service. Read it again. I said your service hasn't been proved or disproved.

You'd do yourself a huge favor if you take what I say fairly literally, and not try to make it into something other then what is specifically written. I've been exceedingly civil so far. Haven't even begun to insult, so I don't know where you're pulling that from. My insults will be perfectly clear. :D
 
I got ya Riachard.....as are mine......know that I was NOT trying to insult. As with yourself, if I were, there would be no mistake in knowing my intent.
I understand what you are saying.......and I feel that you are correct. I shall dig it up (DD214), cover specific sensitive info....then off we'll go, to stick Mr. Liar's statement where the sun dosen't shine ;-)......and does that mean after being slammed, lied about, insulted, called names, wrongly accused, that I can finally make a statement without it being twisted and or used against me? It will be nice to actually be able to type on this forum, sharing intelligent information, news, and informative subject matter, verses trying to protect ones self from a virtual ghost, an invisible and or absent person (the original Liar, forget his name already...who was the guy anyway?). And by the way, has anyone ever stopped to ask themselves why the invisible guy's statement was so taken-to-heart in the first place? Sheeez Guys.....LOL.....now I know how people during old'n days in Salem, Massachusetts felt when someone yelled "Witch"......as they were dragged to the fire, assumed guilty of whatever random statement was made. Richard, I completely understand and respect the mediators jobs on this site, truly I do, but has anyone ever considered first working to make sure a writer's statements were actually based in 'truth' BEFORE ruining someones reputation? It's just a general question, something to ponder.....
OK, thanks again Richard foryour input, and have a good night...........
 
Wow. Did you really miss the post where the "invisible guy" was asked to prove his allegations? More then once?

Really, nobody is singling out any one person. You've had as much chance to prove your case as the "invisible guy" did.

I think walking away would be good for a while. I know I'm going to. Enjoy yourselves. ;)
 
Richard, I feel our words are getting in the way......I feel my intent is being misrepresented here. Again, you are making an assumption. However, it is a fact, since making his statement, which WAS/IS a lie, where is he? Where did he go? Why is he not here to back up his statement? If he did a search, where is it? Why did he do the search to begin with? The absolutely CRAZY thing about all of this is that he and I had NO problems, none. I have no idea where this all came from in the first place, or why. Are you grasping that Richard? Are you understanding that this came at me out of theblue.....from nowhere....and for what reason?........we do not know....LOL! Does this maybe help to support why I am so very absolutely set and focused on not only stating I did nothing wrong, but that he lied from the get-go........for NO reason at all! OK, now you can walk away..........and can I walk with ya Bud........LOL......because I need a drink at this point! ;-)
Have a good one Richard!
 
And WOW, I just noticed, 6000+ Posts, LOL! Dude........! You give new meaning to the position of "Post Master General"......because that is dedicaton!......you GO Man!
Have a great weekend Richard!
 
WoW, quite a few.....have you thought to maybe do more in one day, then you can take a long vavcation.........LOL.......j/k of course.
There are often good conversations which I see, but I'm usually too busy to type. This week, typed my arse off huh......LMAO!
I'm more into the science of all this, and trying to learn more. I was big into snakes nearly 20 years ago, when there were very very few morphs. Returning again initially for educational purposes for my daughters is what hs me once again addicted. The amount of change in the hobby between now and say 1990, just amazing!
As for comment by Charles, proof coming Bud. The search begins tomorrow in my cave-of-a-basement (which is packed to the ceiling with antiques, fossils, minerals, guns, coins, gems, old baseball cards, many 1000's of old comics, old trains, antique clocks, maxfield Parrish lithographs, bronze, sculpture, carving statues, ancient pottery (Roman, Ming, etc.) and hundreds of pieces of Roseville Pottery...and more......which I sell and collect now for approx 35 years......but Charles, I'm searching Bud.....it's come'n soon to a screen near you ;-)
All have a nice evening!

I apologize if I was unclear. My statements were directed at the military service comments. I did see the emails that were posted. However, if all nick gave him was ft bliss tx unit 562, and he googled just that, all he might have learned from that is that 562 is the prefix for phone numbers there (I.e. 562-xxxx). At least tthat's all I got out of it when I googled it.

As for my last comment, it was directed at nick's first reply to me. Where, in my opinion, he called me a coward. No he didn't use that word, but that was my interpretation of his statements.

Nick......like I said, I don't doubt your service. From a later post you made, it seems that you might have been some sort of artillery person. An honorable job. Absolutely nothing like being able to reach WAY out and touch someone. I sat in a steel box many a day playing with electronic gizmos most of my days.

My only issue here, which kevin brought into play. Is that nick keeps going on about being a veteran while sounding like an uneducated angry teenager. All that does is irritate people and make us "normal" vets look bad.
 
Patrick, Good to see you are reading, great. YOU have most likey read more than me. I only knew someone else lied, and I for his lie, I have been criticized repeatedly. I was sitting at home, minding my own business, and someone attacked me.........and so at this point, as I am slowly losing my mind, due to another persons misplaced, unwarranted, and undeserving attack......I am also having to field emails and responses from other people, such as yourself, which deem it their requirement or duty to pick apart each and every word I am saying/typing. Hear me Pat, I didn't ask for any of this, so if I want to toss out what I feel is a funny line, or something to turn the subject from serious to not-so-serious, you are the LAST person that should attempt to judge my funny line. I have heard enough from others, I serious do not need to hear your judgements upon what was meant to be "funny". Get it? Got it? Good!
Now have a nice nice and a great life....and remember, my DD214 will be coming to screen near you.....unless you're bringing me a cold beer sooner? By the way, how about our Denver Broncos?!........they suck don't they?
 
Ahhhh Pat, I see, I see....I read more of your BULLSHIT!.....so you're name calling now huh? Nice!
You say I called you a coward? Did I? Not a chance! Trust me, if I were going to call you a coward, I would just say it, point-blank Pat. What would be my worry? Besides, who are you, and why do you keep trying to judge me?
You then call me "uneducated", LOL! Now that is FUNNY! Pat, not on your best day, not on 10 of your best days, can you call yourself further formally educated. Not a chance Bud! Keep in mind that I "was" in the military....but are you assuming that was the extend of what I've done....are you making claims about a person you do not know? What are you saying? Why do you bring up education? Why did you call me names? Why did you insult me? Did I call you a name? Did I insult you? The answer is NO. Pat, close your mouth, keep it closed, unless and until you have something nice or positive to say! Understand that these subjects were coming to a close, we were reaching a point at which it was realized that the invisible guy lied, a point at which people were being civil. Then yo uopen your mouth! Get it Pat?! You're kill'n me! This sh!t is coming to an end, and what do you do.....stir the pot, start your name-calling, insults, etc.........close your pie-hole, and unless you have something more positive to say I'd prefer to just call it 'done' with you. I think after your name calling, the next time you and I speak, I'd like it to be face to face.....let's make that happen....but until then, have a nice night, a nice life, and please try to be more civil in order that a group of grown men can move past all of the BULLSH!T that some punk Ass Bitch started in the first place. You want someone to call names, I suggest you do so with whatever people live under your roof.........now Good Night and Good BYE Pat!
 
I just sit here shaking my head. I want to post a reply but I cannot get all the adjectives and nouns to flow into one cohesive thought, so instead I'll just list the ones I have so far:

Blathering
ADD
off-topic
verbose
narcissistic
blind
do-not-buy-from
do-not-sell-to
ad nauseum
arrogant
etc.
etc.
etc.

Seriously Nick, you're killin' me bro! Since 99.9% of your dealings go so well, why don't you just stick with the ones that don't involve fauna members. Because I am sure you won't be getting any business from anyone on here that has read any of your comments. They were good for entertainment value for the first 10 or 12 pages, but now it's just plain irritating.
