You respond by attacking me and portending to speak for preppers everywhere. To what end? How have I done anything to you by pointing out what I did? Why respond to my comment if you didn't care about the issue? Why attempt to shut down another voice here?
I thought the Prepper ping list was a group to share information, not a chest-beating bravado session. Maybe I am on the wrong list. Where is the one where we respect others and share useful information?
I have never pretended to speak for anyone besides myself.
You are certainly doing what you can to divert the thread, though.

You didn't do anything wrong. Everyone has their own take with respect to rule #1...most agree with yours. JRF has a "...still a free country and I'll do as I please" attitude, which I admire and agree with, but living in the Detroit 'burbs, I feel I need to be a tad more cautious. I'm pretty sure JRF is off the path a ways, and that can affect how you view rule #1 a LOT.
Why attempt to shut down another voice here?
Given his views about personal liberty, I doubt if JRF would try to shut down your voice. He may not agree with you, and that's fine. As for "chest beating bravado session", I agree he comes off that way sometimes, but I'd love to have the knowledge he has on so many topics, and he's SHOULD be proud of it. I know I would be. Pretty sure he's ex-military (from his posts), and that makes him one of the good guys in my view. Also, he has provided a lot of helpful information for a great many on these threads, including me.
Nothing wrong with your post...don't take it personally.
