"Slinging.org - Stone Age Ballistics"

How about we chat about something interesting?

Thanks,

Now that sounds like a great idea! If they can get together in Amsterdam I see no reason why a bunch of us can't get together here in the States. Who's for it? :D They have a big "Punkin Chunkin" contest in Delaware in the Fall. That would be a great opportunity for a slingers convention. :D

If we had...oooh... 10 000 more members we could have regular sling meets pretty much worldwide!

How about we advertise this website to our friends and family and to other internet people?

Ok,

I know i have a reputation for posting rude/racial/non productice, etc. posts, but the last one i posted was no joke. I was in total agreement with tech stuff, and i think it was wrong for us to make fun of him before, because he was right.

Beaver, I think it is best that you drop it. You aren't going to change anyones mind or feelings about the matter.

I apologize for sounding harsh, but I think no one really wants to hear it.

Thank you Matt. I think Beaver is just trying to provoke a responce. That TechStuff issue is old news now and it's time to move on to something else.

I thought quite a while before pulling the thread BB and I recognise the elements that you were opening up to discussion. It wasn't the initial post but the direction the discussion was going that tipped the balance. I don't like being a censor, but I also want to keep the atmosphere around here, and it is a fine balance.

If you like, feel free to start another thread, but please think about your title, and let's all try to avoid talking about our friends behind their backs.
