Such is not unusual when one jumps up'n'down striving by their crudity and manners to prove they are beneath contempt.<br /><br />In this attempt, it appears, Tom has completely succeeded.<br /><br />I've somehow missed out on the pleasure of viewing Tom's web page, but given the vile mannerisms he displays here, I'm not overwhelmed by the need to visit his personal intellectual cesspool.<br /><br />While I doubt - based on the fact that most folks involved in the action sports that I've met (online and off) are polite, respectful, and generally decent folks - that Tom is actually involved in such activities, I'm prepared to grant that there are exceptions to most rules. Tom may actually be involved in the action sports in heavy mufti, as I cannot imagine anyone civilized tolerating the behavior he displays here.<br /><br />While the good Lady Tam indulges in the art of the snark from time to time - she consistently does so with grace and wit, a confection of sarcasm and spice, as opposed to Toms' clumsiness and crudity.<br /><br />A pox upon him and all his ilk, an embarrassment to all with whom they would associate.<br /><br />GCGay_Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829842245704692674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-91301459412966940402009-04-28T15:22:00.000-04:002009-04-28T15:22:00.000-04:00Aw, tom, do come out and play.

Nor, has KdT ever claimed to be such a superior sort of shooter.<br /><br />That said, KdT isn't a pistolero by passion and pursuit. He is though quite a competent rifleman, albiet not of Camp Perry perfection. I've shot at Appleseed with KdT, and he'll do when it needs doing. <br /><br />I was also there when he fired that gifted .45-70 the first time, and he hit the 300 yd gong on the 2nd shot, after a first-round ranging shot for the spotter. Iron sights, by the way.<br /><br />And likewise, I've never known him to claim to be a precision rifleman such as Doc Russia or even KdT's son Jack.<br /><br />I've seen both Jack and Doc Russia shoot, and can attest to their truly amazing capabilities.<br /><br />In other words, KdT is quite like Tam and the rest of us, who are far better shots in most any arena than our fuddite friends and neighbors. That said, most of us don't claim to be "all that" in the competitive world, because we just don't live there.<br /><br />Still, I'd put money on most any of us when the chips are down to end up the victor in most any armed confrontation with the average thug.<br /><br />So no, I have no threats to offer against Tom. I'm just that unimpressed by him. Asskicking? Why bother?<br /><br />What he does deserve though, is a bitchslap across the face for being such an ill-mannered lout and boor. I'm sure the line of applicants for that task would be very nearly endless.<br /><br />I've not had the pleasure of meeting lady Tam, but I've read her enough over the years to have a fair measure of her savvy of both guns and people. Unlike Tom, she handles adverse opinion with fair amounts of grace and humor.<br /><br />Pity she and KdT fell out over some slights or snarkitude in times past. We all have our imperfections, and it sucks when those align into things that drive what should be friends, apart.<br /><br />Tom though, just ain't friend material. Tam and KdT had enough class to have said their respective pieces and to have cleared their respective sixes from one another.<br /><br />Tom though, doesn't have the class of the turd I flushed this morning, and proves it repeatedly by his comments here.<br /><br />Tom, you indeed might be Speedy Accurate Gonzales on the IDPA line, and you might very well be affluent enough to buy and brag about your Merkel.<br /><br />Neither of which makes you a man, or worthy of respect, deference or even due regard for your opinions. In my view, you are none of those.<br /><br />Even if everything you claim of yourself is true, you're then only a skilled and lucky savant, serving only as a bad example of a waste of skill and success.<br /><br />So, Tom, as you masturbate into your latest printout of IDPA standings, the rest of us will be out enjoying our shooting and our lives.<br /><br />All the more so, because you're not a part of them.<br /><br />Tam, keep up the good work here, ma'am. It is a measure of your success that your works here illustrate the smallness of the Toms of this world.<br /><br />Jim<br />Sunk New Dawn<br />Galveston, TXJimhttp://smokeonthewater.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-2347417536130338862009-04-28T09:39:00.000-04:002009-04-28T09:39:00.000-04:00I'm still trying to figure out where he picked up ...I'm still trying to figure out where he picked up the idea that I think I'm some kind of super shooter.

I hear he doesn't actually pull the trigger with anything except his <I>mind</I>. Do you not realize how much we can learn just by parsing his insults?<br /><br />Oddly, while I know of many competitive shooters by name, Tom's skill seems to have eluded the professional level recognition you'd think he deserves. Maybe the winning the Westfield Mall Match may have won him a free Chik-Fil-A from the food court, but not the top billing he so rightfully deserves.<br /><br />People who brag so loudly about their skills tend to be the ones who fold under pressure like a cheap lawn chair. Sadly, unless Tom wishes to pay for my plane ticket and compensate me for my lost time at work, I'll never really get to experience his greatness.<br /><br />Instead, I'll just keep reading Tam and learning stuff.Robb Allenhttp://blog.robballen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-8662820178115364922009-04-28T08:41:00.000-04:002009-04-28T08:41:00.000-04:00Hey, waitaminnit - I'm in those pictures Brigid to...Hey, waitaminnit - I'm in those pictures Brigid took, and I am most decidedly not pear shaped!
