Dennis is absolutely correct. There are people here who are disruptive, self serving, and are not liked by other members. I don't understand why they do what they do, but I suspect mental illness or alcohol, not that there is anything wrong with either. We have had problems before and posters have been banned. Ed Muderlak is an example. I always knew that Ed Muderlak had the best intentions for our organization, he just didn't suffer fools well. I have had my bad days with Ed Muderlak, but it had nothing to do with either of us being self serving fools. Maybe a little mental illness, but no alcohol. Muderlak had good reason to be crotchety. He had been mistreated by PGCA leaders in the past. Ed Good is different. He has had no contact with PGCA or its leaders, so has not been mistreated in any way. He admits by his posts that he is out to hurt us, and as been openly critical of PGCA members and the PGCA on other forums. He has been banned before on this forum, and probably deserves to be banned again because of his disruptive behavior. He evades suggestions that he has advertised really abused (by gunsmiths) Parkers on his internet sale sites. He has done just that and should admit it. If he chooses to sell better guns now and in the future, we will figure that out. I don't think we have to treat Ed Good gently. He is not a nice guy. Well, he may be a nice guy with a problem. We should be willing to criticize his behavior like some seem to be unwilling to do. He is here to hurt us and disrupt our wonderful forum. Don't cooperate with him, don't reply to his posts, no matter how interesting he appears to make them. Congratulations to our moderators and webmaster for handling these situations so well.
