First post in this forum.
I joined this group ( Battle Blade w/ Walker) just in time to see his demise as moderator. As I did not have a dog in the fight, had little history here, I chose to review past threads and see what the ruckus was all about. The fans and the flamers have defended and crucified Mr. Walker(whom I do not know), hero or villian?
Walker is straight to the point, opinionated and like a lot of real "Sneaky Pete" types I know, has the confidence, first hand, hard won experiance to not really give a damn what anybody thought. Good for him.
The down side is that several folks here were allowed take him out of the game depriving the rest of the folks(judging from the response, a majority!) his active participation and comments. From what I could read, he fell victim to persons that felt they were experts, entitled to that status, and as many self proclaimed experts will, screamed like mashed cats that they were not being given thier just due. Unfortunatly in the cyber world folks tend to take their own beliefs and bullshit seriously. In any group there is always people that feel the need to take pot shots or due to thier own lack of confidence chisle away at the following or standing of somebody that does more than just wears the "been there, done that" tee shirt. Hell anybody can buy the shirt.
As to the whinning that Walker was criticizing LE, I don`t think so, the simple truth is that many LE can`t hit their ass with both hands with a firearm. This is not critical, just the truth. If you doubt that, just check the shots fired/hit ratios.
Congratulations to the flamers, you took a good forum and trashed it. Any bets on why there is not any good new posts.
Well enough is enough, perhaps I`m incorrect on my read of the events, but its mine.
