posting a topic

The topic that I posted, I did not read on RV.net. I hadn't been on it for days due to being in hospital.
There was no political agenda other thaan reporting a citizen being abused.

Let's all take a deep breath and talk about spring trips in the rv's eh?

Oh how so many are so willing to give up what was so hard to attain. Not me!

You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts. I read no facts in that "story". No documentation of anything. It appear to be strictly a public relations story for the NRA.

Why I carry pepper spray instead of a firearm. That's all I need to defend myself from a personal assault. If I spray them with pepper and they shoot me, they're going to jail. If they don't shoot me, they're going to the hospital.

Over and over I see folks saying "it's against the rules" when in fact there is no such rule. So just for clarification these are the rules;

• "Flaming" of other participants is strictly forbidden. Professional conduct is a primary requirement for participation on the Open Roads Forum.
• Spamming, in any form, is strictly forbidden.
• You may not use the Open Roads Forum to either advertise or promote commercial endeavors. This includes direct posts, member name, URLS in your profile or signature, as well as, active links to other sites on the Internet.

Open Roads Forum reserves the right to refuse and/or revoke membership to anyone without notice. If a member name is banned, it may not be reinstated.

You might wanna pass that on to the moderators because all threads on gun talk end up being closed.

Oh your talking about the "unpublished rules". No gun talk, no Maxxis tire threads, OK to bash posters the Mods don't like, don't criticize the Mods, don't question the lunacy of your govt., etc.

Wow, what a bunch of freakin' whiners in here. Can't people keep this stuff to their local coffee shop where they sit around with all the other miserable people and complain about every thing that's going wrong "these days"?

From what I see, gun talk always evolves into political arguing which IS forbidden according to the posted rules. Also, rule number 1 basically says they can remove any thread that they want.

Tom Jackson’s baseball card — if he had one — would report he throws left, writes right. In his columns and blog, “The Right Stuff,” southpaw Jackson provides insight into the evolving human condition from a distinctly conservative point of view.

What kind of journalist would write a story of this nature and not check the circumstance himself…

Yep, one where the story true or not, supports his own views and a story that will take on a life of its own by others that want to believe it in the blogosphere where it will never stop being spread, and truth or facts are not important…

There is an old saying which goes something like this "Publish or Perish"

I agree with JJ. Opinion writers need columns, not facts

The fact that the AP has not reported it doesn't mean it didn't happen, it just doesn't fit their agenda. Kind of like the many events taking place over the last few years that aren't reported adequately.

Tom Jackson’s conservative opinion column is published each Sunday. Read The Right Stuff on TBO.com at tbo.com/tom Jackson/

This guy is an opinion writer… he has made no claims nor has anyone else that I could find investigated anything about the story… something that should be easy to do…

He is also an outspoken advocate on the issue… on Jan 12 he wrote another piece advocating, and lacks any credibility on impartiality…

So if it’s printed in the Tampa Trib. it happened… now that is funny I don't care what anyone says…

I believe we should stick to topics concerning RVing. I'm surprised the moderator posted a link to the tale in question. JMHO.

And news papers never post incorrect (or even better...misleading) information? The guy that wrote the article is writing what he was told by this one guy. There was no mention as to why they even pulled him over.
