I am afraid, the bolded part of the quote is what some people are talking about. I am butt hurt because of his signing and yes I voted for him. He did what he did, since I cannot read minds, I do not know why. I also do not pretend that I know why. It may turn out to be a good thing but only time will tell. Lets not alienate each other in the meantime.

Possibly, and while I don't think I am any smarter then too many people here, the person who explained this to me is. Whether or not that's possible, only time will tell.

Don't forget the trolls, anti's, and agent provocateurs on the board.

We don't need any trolls, anti's and agent provocateurs.
All some one has to do, is start a thread on homosexuality.
.....ooops, I mean 9mm vs 45acp,

Andrew isn't Gay, but even if he was, so what.

I think the question is..
Is Andrew a straight identified gay, or a gay identified straight?
....ooops, I was trying to ask which is better 5.56 vs 7.62?

Irregardless is not a word. Mainly because regardless is what you are trying to say. Just thought I would let you know.

We will stand together and make each other better for it!

That's odd, world renowned lexicographer Merriam-Webster considers irregardless a word: "The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word..."

With a group as incredibly diverse as the Calguns crew (80K +, wow!) you are going to have genuine, valid differences of opinion on any given topic. The only reason I stick around here, when I've dumped more gun forums than I can even remember, is the usually high level of discourse here on Calguns. If you post an opinion or question, you'll get lots of feedback including lots of opposing views. However, it's usually done in a cordial, high-road kind of way (occasional ribbing aside).

Some of the threads lately have been really sub-par for Calguns. The name-calling and jeering is in bad taste and counter-productive. Feel free to express your opinions on JB's parentage or whatever, but do so in good Calguns style. We can do better, because we HAVE done better.

The key thing is that we are all united in the support of the primary civil right (more important than free speech, in my opinion). We can (and will and should) disagree on some of the details, but the over-arching goal must be kept in sight at all times. Keeping a cordial atmosphere is an important part of that. How can our opponents or the general public have respect for us, if we don't have respect amongst ourselves? I think that's all Andrew is getting at.

nice selective quoting

here's the whole entry:

Definition of IRREGARDLESS
nonstandard
: regardless
Usage Discussion of IRREGARDLESS
Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

(emphasis mine)

just sayin'....

As A.M. mentioned it was Benjamin Franklin, but that would have been classic if Hale had said the preceding and finished with, "...like me," just before they hung him for treason. I can see where your confusion came from.

He is actually remembered for his famous last words, "I regret that I have only one life to give for my country."

More to the point, I agree with A.M. on this, even if he is gay actually, he's not gay, he's a compensating homophobe - there's no other explanation for his frequent monologues about who and/or what has been in his orifices...

You win this thread! I agree, I think this is exactly what Andrew means.
