"Impossible Shots" safety issue

[Fastmover13]

Two points, First off, if it isn't your show, why are you getting so defensively hostile ?
Second, since you basically agree that shooting, especially flintlocks, with out proper safety gear is stupid, same question. Why are you getting so defensively hostile ?

I hate to say that the nepotism digs fly all over me, that is my fault and for that I apologize.

It took you 1hour and 15min. to find the word nepotism. As for the context of digs,which seem to me, in total regard to subject and mor than half expected by yourself. Do we as a forum need to be more subtle for you so they do not....

"fly all over me"

If so you can at least  answer with a straight-forward response?  Or am i placing to much nepotism in your ability to respond?

So, if I understand your post correctly your saying that you had your say, Dad, Uncle or who ever said no and you decided it wasn't worth the hassle at future Family gatherings to dig in your heels.
I worked for my Dad for a while, I can understand that reasoning

Believe it or not but I have other things to do on Sunday night than continue to beat a dead horse.

You are upset by this whole mess and obviously so am I.  You problem with George is what it is and my response to that is still what it is.

How much more straight forward of a response do you need?

Do you need a hug?

I understand that all you can do is what you can do, and it sounds as though you've done that.  I find no fault in that.  The problem, for this program, is that as a result of the seemingly cavalier attitude of the people who ARE in charge of that show, I think it's probably safe to say that "Impossible Shots" has lost a certain percentage of it's viewing audience as a result. 

I guess you can call it, "voting with your remote control".


Your mileage may vary.

I've scanned over this whole thread again, and while I fully understand what started it and that we need to protect ourselves and those we care for from bad examples I find this to be a matter of "preaching to the choir" ... Right up to the point where "Jr." chimed in    This has gone from a healthy discussion, somewhat fueled by an e-mail exchage, to a silly exchange ...

John - You need to learn to never wrestle with a pig!  All that will happen is that you will get muddy, and the pig likes it    Read our concerns, take them to your company meetings, and do with it what you want ... Or, you can keep jumping in here and entertain us all.

I don't know if I am upset about this:

You need to learn to never wrestle with a pig!

because m58 is calling me a pig or 

All that will happen is that you will get muddy, and the pig likes it  Grin

because he knows I like to mud wrestle? 

[tombogan03884]

M58 pretty much nails it ;

"Or, you can keep jumping in here and entertain us all."  

Especially when you remember that the subject had died over a month ago until it was resurrected by Fastmover

After m58's post i went back for a review and sorry about overlooking this earlier:

You are upset by this whole mess

now to correct you, I absolutely am not upset with you, some of you retorts yes, along with the treatment of members of this forum, you-betcha, but you in general, negative. You are far from "holier than thou", even though your posts are snide at times. It is the lack of safety standards. Period.

To reflect on the subject of topic, if you in noway have a say in production safety, then why O why did you get involved in the first place?

In doing so you automatically make it "guilt by association" and take responsibility. Agree or disagree it is fact. I will listen to your disputes, then disregard it as usual.    joking joking
