Only issue I have is the fact that the person who seems to have been offended isn't anyone whom the personal 'jabs', baiting, or attempts at an emotional response were aimed at.

Is that the new standard? If any third party feels offended by something we change the way we operate?

I understand that the forum has rules, I guess the part I have a problem understanding is why some of them are necessary. In a country that so highly values free speech why do we need to censor the internet of all places. If someone feels offended by something, especially something that wasn't directed at them personally, they always have the right to click elsewhere and not read it.

Political correctness is killing free speech in this country.
 
my apologies, I should have said it could be construed as a threat.

a threat of self defense? that's not exactly how I read that, but maybe a judge would agree with you.. :suspicious:

You should know better than to post personal info on the internet that could lead too your identity or location.

That's just basic OPSEC that should be carrying over into your personal life.

ISIS Threat at Home: FBI Warns US Military About Social Media Vulnerabilities - ABC News

Information security should be taken seriously.

People being able to see your license plate on the road or parked at your house versus an open forum is not apples to apples.

When you are driving down the road or parked in front of your house, your personal beliefs and opinions are not posted for all to see and link to your identity through a license plate or say an address.

Also, be careful about posting your intention of "Shooting first" on the internet, this is the type off stuff a bad DA will try to use against you in a court of law should you ever be involved in a shooting incident.

To each his own though...

OPSEC?! I'm not running an operation. :fish:

People post their personal beliefs on their vehicles all the time. Ever see a political bumper sticker?!

And I never posted any intention of "shooting first" I was making the point that FL is a state that is pretty loose with self defense laws. The common term used by opponents of the Stand Your Ground law is that is the "shoot first law".


And I'm not changing my life one bit due to vague threats by ISIS. They could find thousands and thousands of service members just by using Facebook. I think the chances of one of them lurking on the 4Runner forum in wait for someone to post their address is probably pretty low.

It's a non-issue.


And for someone touting keeping a low profile, you have a pretty interesting username.

Like I said, to each his own.

My username doesn't reveal my location, who I am nor anything else other than my fondness of the character Roland Deschain/the "Gunslinger" in the Stephen King series "The Dark Tower", my playful jab at those with triskaidekaphobia and my enjoyment of firearms.

Take care.

Then you obviously can't read. For anything to happen to you, you will have had to come to MY property, and be up to something. I'm not making a threat, I'm giving you fair warning that it's a bad idea. If you think it's a threat for me to say I'm going to **** you up if you're on my property vandalizing things, you need your head examined. :wacko:

Property has nothing to do with self defence, no judge will let you kill a thief or vandal without consequences, You better prepare a gun you can plant on someone you kill to justify self defence. plenty of people end up in prison that way.

Trust me, no one asked you to participate either.

Now, would you mind giving a straight answer to the questions you've been asked?

What EXACTLY did you have in mind when you told me you'd come down here and settle this argument in person?

And what EXACTLY do I have to fear from posting my address?

You made two very bold statements, now I want you to clarify them, or admit that you were just posturing, I.E. being an "internet badass".

I was not addressing you in that reply but person who showed frustration with repetitions.
Now, would you mind giving a straight answer to the questions you've been asked?

What EXACTLY did you have in mind when you told me you'd come down here and settle this argument in person?I`ll answer but only after you tell me what did you had in mind saying "come down here?
Remember you were first? I replied shoot address and i`ll come down to settle that argument. Now we established chain of events. So why did you asked me to come down there ?

And what EXACTLY do I have to fear from posting my address?
That was explained to you multiple times and not only by me.

You want me to put your mind at ease or admit in writing that I`ve had ill intentions toward you? Why would I do either? I don`t own you anything. You have to deal with your fears from now on. I`m not in sole possession of your publicly available address.
