Request to Moderators

[DPC]

Now guys fine scoff if you like ok. But I as a member have an issue with price gouging so I will express my opinion. I can do that, and I believe the moderators in the future will understand what others and not only myself have to say.

Kestryll's stance on the price gouging is read out loud and clear in the marketplace. Some of the mods have been banning the absurd ones, but 300 dollar stripped lowers are a sign of the times now.

But you see, your not just venting, your demanding that the MOD's censor content YOU find offensive. See the difference?

Your more than welcome to your opinion, and believe me, I understand it, BUT, be that as it may, Kes has made a ruling that he isn't going to change it.

wasnt there a famous speech that said Sir I dont care for what you say, however I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it.

[chickenfried]

I find the whining more offensive than the pricing. Just my opinion...

Again, who determines what is market pricing and what is offensive? Is it 50% more than market price, 100%, 25%? And which market pricing? The average in the CGN market, the average at gunbrokers, at the local gun store?

While I agree as a community we should stick together, it doesn't mean that we have to sell below market value. If the local gun store has empty shelves, and the middle man is charging $XX dollars, then the LGS has to charge that amount + a margin of profit. Does that bind the person selling on Calguns to have to sell below what the local gun store is selling?

Are there bloodsuckers coming out of the woodworks because of this panic buying? Of course they are... But in several more months, they will become the panic sellers.

Essentially all of us who are posting are members on this forum. And even as CG contributors, doesn't mean we have more say or a vote on the forum rules, we are contributing to a cause, not purchasing to become stock holders in CG. It's still Kes's house, and his rules.

I think the reason you are getting a little more ribbing than usual, is because of what you mentioned:

I only ask that you would consider this request and notify me of your decission

If someone came onto my porch and knocked on the door, and said "hi there, the rocks on your front yard look nice, but have you considered a lawn". I might just politely say, thanks but not really interested.

If the same person said, "hi i don't like your rock garden, and I think you should get a lawn. Let me know of your decision by tomorrow. Thank you"...

Well..I would be "who are you???!!!"

If you don't like the market prices, don't buy right now. I am not. I won't buy in a market frenzy. Contribute your money to CG and the NRA. That would be money more well spent.

I have yet to find a thread on calguns that offends me.

Just for the lol this one to:

You need to develope thicker skin, or get a towel.

To the OP I ask. Have you been around internet forum for very long?

[dry powder]

I've been a member of Cal Guns forum for some years now and it has come to the attention of other members and myself that there opportunist taking advantage of the current situation and not only myself but other members find it insulting a slap in the face if you will. And I dont believe that it would unreasonable for Moderators to close down threads deamed offensive to long standing members, seeing as other threads are closed due to post deamed offensive. I only ask that you would consider this request and notify me of your decission. Thank you for your consideration and understanding.

Gosh Mr. C, I hope it wasn't me! I asked a self-proclaimed "Proud Liberal" the other day how Kool-Aid tasted and he got very upset. Shame on me.

Unbelievable!!!!!

Another victim thread?

The "current situation" has really opened my eyes. I never realized how many whinny, entitled, victims are on this forum. It really is embarrassing.
