I wasn’t aware of any official rules list(other than general behavior)that dictates how freepers must participate in order to stay off this list obviously meant shame site members...do you have a link to these rules?

As a certified pistol instructor...the first rule of carrying a self defense fire arm is...carry what you are comfortable and proficient with....be it a 22 revolver or a semi auto desert eagle .50...

Statically most encounters were a firearm is fired in self its 2 shots with 6 ft...

I’m not a big fan of semi autos myself..

The “Post and Run” ping list is specifically spambots who are always “1 of x” on their posting history and never reply to posts. Every post is clickbait to his or her own blog or a blog for who he or she is a spambot. The fact that the spambot doesn’t bother leaving a “tip” for use of FR bandwidth for incessant spamming doesn’t help.

I add “to be removed, reply to this post.” One has replied. One has replied and donated. Just for what it’s worth.

As far as the “rules,” Jim Robinson has posted that he wished folks would not excerpt their own blogs (i.e. blog pimping) but there is no specific rule. If I had a blog, I would not excerpt it. I do invite folks who are spambots to donate during FReepathons, though.

Now, this particular OP, w1n1, is a peculiar sort. Cannot write to save his life. Any well-written article is likely to be copied and pasted from somewhere else. I’ve often caught this blog plagiarizing others’ works and pointing it out here. I stopped bothering. For me the last straw was when w1n1 posted a work where the author shot rounds at his wife’s chest while she was wearing a ballistic vest to show the effectiveness of the vest. I just threw up my arms regarding this stupid-assed blog.

Wyatt Earp was not a fast draw. He was a very accurate shot though. He once said that he never expected to out-draw anyone, but fast does not mean accurate.

He also used to post graphic images of gunshot wounds under the category ‘humor’.

I left the embellishment to the Aussies, they’re pros at spicing stories up.
The blood droplets on the magazine’s pages were a nice touch. :)

Thanks for posting that. I’ll be following it.
I use Booker T. Washington quotes quite often.

I am regularly blocked from posting when sharing his writing, due to the presence of words
that Mr. Washington used that are now deemed unacceptable by cancel culture morons.

This guy was truly amazing. He was illiterate but had a photographic mind.
Once he memorized your stats, you were finished.
