thread jacking/off topic...(*please read)

[PaiN]

You all know we have a great forum here, it is really one of the best places to talk gun stuff on the net without the egos and in-fighting that so many have.
So I say this as an honest criticism and not pointed or personal at anyone.
We all get along well and naturally the busting and joshing is going to happen.
In all honesty, its getting out of hand....I'm finding it difficult to read information on topics I'm interested in or follow a thread because I have to sift through post after post of ha-ha's and he-he's. Some threads are completely lost to these on going ball-busting fests. I come to post something on a thread I made and I find 2+ pages of unrelated chatter....
I'm sorry to sound like a fun sucker but there is an inordinate amount of it on this forum, it has annoyed me enough to post this and I'd hate to see a good thing ruined.

[jocko]

ur probably right but this forum started out with a personality different than most forums. I myself tend to over "fun" thinbgs but 90% os directed a bawanna, and no one else, He and I have a repore that is different than most.

I like most tend to post helpful information and suggestions in a thread and maybe in anothe thread I might bantermy ol friend. I try not to mix um up together. I a not defending or offending it either. Mosst like you are straight posters and leave the banter 0out of it,then there is ol jocko who goes both ways ..

[Bawanna]

Pain send me a list of the guilty parties and I'll hand out severe reprimands.

Ok, Ok, I know I'm the most guilty of all, it's a curse. I suggest we all use the monthly anything goes thread for the good times and banter but also we all know that if we stick to the straight and serious thru out things really get boring and negative around here. No action, few post, nothing fun. Alot like some of the other forums you mention.

So while we need to rein things in a bit (pains right, I'll grant him that) we don't need to go over board on serious either.

Pain I sent you a PM.

Jocko, don't go telling people you and I got a repore, that's kind of a behind closed door thing, no reason to tell the world you know?

[jocko]

I ain' gonna change. to old for that.

[az4783054]

I agree completely. Thanks for bringing this up. I've seen the same happen on other sites as well (naa, keltec, seecamp forums). I left them to find my technical answers elsewhere.

There's a wealth of information here and knowledgeable KAHR owners, but this ain't "Hee Haw" folks.

Admin and moderators could you please make this a sticky?

[jocko]

now I think ur kinda stretching it az. HEE HAW?? DAMN i LIKED THAT SHOW it took the serious out of life.

[ruf45]

I disagree,Ive been to other forums and for the most part find them boring
I like to hang out at Kahr talk because I find intertaining with lot of good
help and info. I enjoy it when things go off topic. I feel like I know the people that are and enjoy the company.Unlike most other forums where its just stick to the topic. Just wanted to voice my opinion on the subject

[bonjorno2]

sorry, i saw this and all i saw was thread jacking off......

[jocko]

I agree, it kinda caught me to. I have never seen a thread do that. I always thought it was a guy thing, course I see my male yorkie humpig my shoes about every day. Have no j"idea" what that means..

[mr surveyor]

sorry, i saw this and all i saw was thread jacking off......



now you done gone and done it!

I self moderated myself last night for making a comment about the finger in the "dyke" thing last night on the PM9 subforum.

for what it's worth, I saw the same thing you did when opening this thread. :)

[MW surveyor]

So let'see. I'm on six different gun forums. Guess which one I look at first thing in the morning?



Sorry, here's my hand. Ouch!

[jocko]

oh hell, let me guess: GLOCK TALK. they are just so friendly over there.

[bonjorno2]

i love glock talk, i go to the classified section often.... that's about it! Back to my previous post i saw it and had to open it... it was serious and I feel bad for my comment! Either way I value everyone's experience on this forum and I will try to keep it on topic.

[PattayaPistol]

So let'see. I'm on six different gun forums. Guess which one I look at first thing in the morning?





I have to agree with surveyor. I don't need boring all the time, and I really am able to sift thru the fun stuff to see the "important stuff". I like KahrTalk just as it is.

A whole thread on jacking/off? This forum is weird.

Cheers
PP

[MW surveyor]

I do not own a BLOCK! But I do have a few tupperware guns :)

Pattaya - So you have a sceen name of a place in Thailand and have a map of Austrailia as your avatar? Good, you fit right in.

[jocko]

ur a nasty person surv. calling such a fine peace a block, no wonder ur not a poster there. you have to take the glock pledge u know.. I never could get past the resgistration part

[MW surveyor]

jeeeZ - This thread has been jacked!

Hey, if you like Glocks more power to you.

A pledge? Something on the lines of ..... I will never own any other pistol other than a Glock. My Glock can do the most amazing things. It is the absolute best pistol ever made. I will never have any problems with my Glock. If I do have a problem, I will never under pain of instant death and dismemberment admit it to anyone other than a Glock high priest and for sure, never ever mention it on any gun forum.

I gotta go.

I'll check this thread in the morning to see when it gets locked. Later!

[Willieboy]

.... and the evil and sinister MikeyKahr, instigator and puppet master, stands in a shadowy corner rubbing his hands together and giggling gleefully.

Sorry Pain, I just couldn't resist, but I'll try to tone it down going forward. Promise.

[MW surveyor]

Bill, you posted just at the same time as me.

Good one! That MikeyKahr is just one evil person!

Oh darn, now I'll have Bawanna mad at me.

[JimBianchi]

How about those Bears?

Think they can go all the way this year?




Oh, I'm sorry, was I off topic......

[Bawanna]

It would seem that the OP and others who favor less thread jacking are all off line and unable to mount a defense, not that they need one. They have a genuine concern and I think we all will subconciously cut back a bit on the thread drift.

As me and several have discussed on the side, it seems when there are genuine concerns and problems to solve the drift goes away. Case in point, in all the Hee Haw in the one thread Jocko asked about the interface/stripper bar, the heehaw and banter instantly went away and the discussion was back to lets figure out this issue which is our primary goal here helping others and by default ourselves.

At any rate lets not become uncivil to those who aren't here to defend or interact in their own behalf if you get my meaning.

I'd hate to have Pain log in next time only to find his issue is the biggest hee haw thread we've had in a long time.

I'll send a severe reprimand to the evil nephew MikeyKahr and have him seek councilling.

[PattayaPistol]

Pattaya - So you have a sceen name of a place in Thailand and have a map of Austrailia as your avatar? Good, you fit right in.

Sorry for taking this thread so far off topic, but Aussie born and raised, been "seeing the world" since 1973, settled in Pattaya, Thailand 1986.

Cheers
PP

[MW surveyor]

Figured that was the case. Got a number of friends that live in Thailand but none in Pattaya! One just quit a good position in Cairo so that he could go back and live the way he wanted to.

[melissa5]

sorry, i saw this and all i saw was thread jacking off......

That's the way I read it at first. I guess I'm just a wicked, wicked monkey!

BTW, this is a stick-up. Gimme all your threads! :p

[Paladin]

A friend of mine recently went on vacation in Bora Bora. Beautiful place. Would love to visit there some day.

[MikeyKahr]

Man, I tell you what - not sure I could be named any more than I have been this day! Evil and instigator!? Y'all trying to get me to take the fall for all the banter around here or get me on johnh's black ball list!?

While I do agree with PaiN that topics sometime tend to drift, I think it's part of what makes KahrTalk KahrTalk. Kahr-related problems are solved, and Kahr-related questions are answered. It doesn't go right to banter all the time (like question asked, 35 posts of banter, question answered in post 37). Sometimes it does go like this (question asked, question answered multiple times and confirmed with proper follow-up, then banter ensues) - the off-topic threadjacking happens after the issues are resolved or when things get settled. If another question arises, the banter slows or ebbs and an answer is again promptly given. Does it sometimes go back to banter? Yes - but not always. And one needs to remember that one doesn't have to read every post unless you want to! Here's what I would have to contribute today:

My PM9's running like a swiss clock, how about yours? Yours too? Great! Ho Hum. Talk to you in 2012.

[Willieboy]

Hey Mikey, we're just funnin with you man. Go back to the new K9 problems thread in the Kahr-Tech section and read what followed after your reference to Jocko's big Italian nose. That was the basis for what you just read.

[Bawanna]

And no worries nephew with JohnH. I just contacted him directly on the super secret private mod text machine. Your golden. He says long as I keep up on the monthly payments your safe as can be.
For some reason he raised the monthly fee but I think that's how blackmail is suppose to work anyhow.

Dang it, look what you guys are doing, your jerking me off topic. I'm the major culprit with this drift issue. I really am. I think when JohnH gets back from the NRA show I better put myself on 30 day suspension, maybe 15 day. 30 would be cruel and unusual punishment.

[MikeyKahr]

And one more point. Some here who would be most "guilty" of thread-jacking or banter or going a bit off-topic (whatever you want to call it) are ones that actually contribute the most and are most helpful to those who have the worst problems. Crack CS team at KahrTalk, free of charge for any who want it 24/7. And we always give the proverbial free return authorization.

PaiN - your PM45 you just bought has been, well, a pain (sorry to hear it!). Do you want me, or straight-laced, stiff-upper-lip and royal wedding watching Willieboy scratching our heads and diagnosing your weapon ("well duh, PaiN, it don't shoot without falling apart!" says MikeyKahr wisely). Or would you rather have the crack staff of jocko, Bawanna, Dietrich, wyntrout, jlottmc, GB___, AZ____ and associates tackling your problems? I'd take the latter (sorry Willieboy, just happened to use your name as an example - right!!)

This is like home. This is my online "family". I take off my shoes and put on my slippers. After e-mails and work responsibilities, this is the first place I want to check. My wife gets a bit jealous when I rev up the computer and hop on here. I would suggest that we should be careful what we ask for, because we might just get it (check back to November 2008).

[Willieboy]

I just wrote a PM to PaiN and told him I would try to tone down my grab assing ways going forward. While I get a kick out of reading the exchanges between Bawanna and Jocko, and enjoy participating myself in the joking around, I certaining don't want to detract from PaiN's or anyone else's experience on these forums. So, as I told PaiN, I am going to try to tone it down and not take threads off track. I think I'll tickle my wife instead.

Editted to add: I was kidding about ticking my wife. I can barely control myself sometimes and she can't stand me. Even the dog I rescued hates me. I meant what I said though, about toning it down. I respect PaiN for speaking up. It took some courage on his part to bring it up, knowing what an group of off-beat characters hang out here. Good for you PaiN.

[ruf45]

Wife says Iam not to have any more fun. Can someone show me the way to the (block forum) :)

[OldLincoln]

I think I'll tickle my wife instead. That reminds me of a story....

[OldLincoln]

Maybe we should have an acronym that means no jacking on this thread. Well that doesn't work into a good one. Jacking Now Allowed (JNA) doesn't have that ring. So let's do the acronym part first... SOTY (Stay On Topic Y'all). Yeah that'll work.

Lets see, " thread jacking/off topic...(*please read) - SOTY"

Wow, that's kool.

[PaiN]

Screw it......
You all are right....(look at this thread for cripes sake :p) ... Kahr Talk is what it is, I guess, which is better than the alternative.

btw: I said this was nothing personal, hell I'm guilty of it too. So if you PM'd me on the subject I'm deleting it.

[Willieboy]

I hope you'll read my PM before you delete it.

[jocko]

Ligthen up a tad PaiN. no one here is perfect. Just read the good stuff here that you want to read and put the other on hold or delete. I never shopped around on this forum, if it wasn't on the main menue when I got on line, I didnt go hunting for anything. Might have missed alot but I'll never know that either.

[jocko]

Subject: This is an Incredible story!





In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University .
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.
The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.
As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife,
after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.
Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.
Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son.
As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and
walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing.
The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.
The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.
Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure.
He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.
The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs
and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same damn elephant.

now this is what I would call thread jacking,m but it was cool sent to me by a real jack off to.

[kahrseye]

KahrTalk is a place you can come to and have a conversation with friends and friendlies about Kahrs or any other make of guns. If I'm talking to a friend, the conversation never stays with what was started. In fact I never know where the conversation will end up but that's normal. Now add 2 or 4 or 27 more people into the mix and you've just stirred up a pot of go crazy. But that's what I love about this site. Our problems always get resolved even if it is in a round about way. I say don't change a thing, just my opinion and I'm not tryin to step on anyone else's toes, except Bawanna, Jocko, Dietrich and O'dell and maybe a couple others who will remain nameless.

[mr surveyor]

Bears???? they don't play baseball!

Go Rangers:)

surv


oh, and for what it's worth, I do agree with pain about the firearms specific threads (the actual legit ones....if there is a definition of such) going off topic... at least until the OP has taken it off topic....or the original question has been beat like a dead horse..... or until I have lost my concentration to the point I can't remember what the topic was.....

now, for my sensitive (actually I spelled it sinsitive before I checked the spelling) side - we do need to take it light on the new members when they post legit concerns, and not stray away from their intent.

Am I rambling again?

Blame Bawanna. He woke me up.


surv

[Bawanna]

Blame Bawanna. He woke me up.

Oh yeah, blame the hearing impaired wheelchair derelict. Actually thats not a bad plan really. I'm the blame guy at work too. I just tell yup I did, so sorry, won't happen again. If they ask for an explanation I play dumb which just comes natural for me.

[mr surveyor]

JOcko


You posted that wonderful, touching story while I was trying to be serious, or is it sirius...no, I think serious...whatever....... and I just noticed

dang it, I just almost lost a load of boiled crawfish and coldbeer:D

what a wonderful, reader's digest/hallmark moment

I vote that as "Threadjack of the Week"!

[kahrseye]

Remember the Scenting posts? Stuff happens.

[OldLincoln]

I am a member at a medical site I used to frequent. It had a unique feature in that the entire site was in one general forum. Not being used to that I made the suggestion that members would be better served if they broke the site into a few different forums. Holy Molly you would have thought I stole their whiskey, insulted their wives, made a pass at their daughters and worst of all, kicked their dog!

I made my peace with them and over a years saw this play out at least a dozen times. Along the way I finally began to appreciate why they did it that way. It wasn't like a hall with a lot of individual rooms led by stiffness and politeness, but it was a bunch of folks of both genders (perhaps more) sitting around an old pot belly stove chewing the fat.

They would discuss the serious stuff but along the way someone would say hi to another and ask how their granddaughter was getting along and did that thing with the doctor work out for them? Then others would chime in and the thread drifted a bit. Someone dropping in would ask or offer something about the original topic and that would bounce around then drift again.

Once I got to know the players it just "felt right" and I enjoyed the personalities along with the education. Just took a while and some initial patience. A little like some of the novels I'm reading these days where 200 pages are introducing characters and locals before getting down to the main plot. You kinda need the first part to appreciate the second.

[Rainman48314]

Ha! Remember that old funny store about the native on an island greeting visitors in english phrases with crackles and whistles scatted through them. When the surprised visitors asked where he learned english, he replied the short wave radio.

Funny story......that reminds me:

This morning I went to sign my dogs up for welfare. At first the lady said, "Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare."

So I explained to her that my dogs are mixed in color, unemployed, can't speak English and have no freaking clue who their Daddy's are. They expect me to feed them, provide them with housing and medical care.

So she looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify.

My dogs get their first checks on Friday. :eek:

[Tilos]

Hello everyone, this is my 1st meeting and I'm glad I had the courage to come here tonight.
My name is Tilos...and I am a driftaholic:faint2:

[Jeremiah/Az]

Is thread jacking/off topic illegal like bestiality? I thought I had done--er heard about everything. What do you use, tongs, chopsticks, a rollin'pin? I am confused, but I want to learn more!:blushing:

[jocko]

ok, enough jacking off, lets get back to the topic at hand of which was:::Yes the Bears do play baseball, they play in soldiers field in tuesdays.

oh my, going on page 6 and so far not one technical thing about kahrs even mentioned. I think PaiN is on to something!!

[MW surveyor]

jocko - this is page 6, who would have thought?

BTW - Again, this is the first forum opened in the morning and I usually get up pretty early. Nasty and disgusting habit from having to work the early morning late afternoon watches on board ships.

[gear_guy]

He wrote jacking/off, lol

[toolman]

did I miss something were are we at

[OldLincoln]

Sigh.... Whata Team! You guys rock! sigh.....

[Cash.45]

Like most have posted here, I enjoy this forum just the way it is. To me it's like a bunch of buddies gathering in a garage to have a beer and shoot the breeze. Serious things are discussed from time to time, but there's always some good natured bannering. It's why I always come to this forum first (and often don't leave), cause if I feel like taking a beating I can always visit another forum. So pull up a chair, pop a top and tell us what's on your mind.

Besides, you usually have to pay good money to see something as funny as the Jacko-Bawana show! :w00t:

[MW surveyor]

My oldest daughter named my only grandson Jack! Sigh......

Just think of what that poor kid is going to go through.

Well, at least she didn't name him Sue!

[bonjorno2]

what's his middle name?

[TheTman]

I like things the way they are, you usually get your technical answers up front, before the joking starts. The kidding around is part of the personality and warmth that this forum has and keeps me coming back. Maybe I have more time to kill than other folks and it doesnt bother me to read all the off topic comments.
Jocko and Bawanna's bantering back and forth is pretty amusing and fun to watch. I'd hate to see that go away. I can see if you're stressed for time that you don't want to have to wade through all the silliness, but I'd hate to see it change into one of those dry forums where anything off topic causes an uproar.

[jlottmc]

That reminds me, where the hell is Wynn?

[MW surveyor]

Grandson Jack's middle name is Kelly. I wanted Knife! Hardy veto by the daughter and the ADA husband.

[Bawanna]

Grandson Jack's middle name is Kelly. I wanted Knife! Hardy veto by the daughter and the ADA husband.

Say it ain't so, I'm married to your daughter?

[Bawanna]

That reminds me, where the hell is Wynn?

Wyn's brother is visiting him. I guess they have been doing a little shooting. I too was concerned and sent a email to make sure he was ok. All is fine, he should be back with us shortly.

Is this family or what? We notice when a brother or sister is gone for long.

[MW surveyor]

That's Assistant District Attorney. Not Attention Deficit A (you supply the rest, this is a family forum)

This thread is soooo jacked!

[jocko]

yea but ain't it fun. and ur so much a part of this a"JACKED THREAD"

[Bawanna]

That's Assistant District Attorney. Not Attention Deficit A (you supply the rest, this is a family forum)

This thread is soooo jacked!

Oh, :confused: I thought it was American Disability Act. I'm trying to become the poster child, sort of like Jerry Lewis. So far nobodys answering my calls.

Go figure.

District Attorney, that means sweet money. Bottom feeder but money none the less. That's a good thing.

[MW surveyor]

Damn, (hope that gets through) American Disabilities Act, never thought of that!

How does damn get through and crac^er doesn't?

As long as there are criminals, he's got a job.

jocko - if this thread goes on for at least another few days, I'll pass the 500 mark! That is unless I don't get blackballed!

Gotta go get some different grip screws for the 1911, the slot heads kinda look lame.

Be back later!

[mr surveyor]

you think the damn-crakker thing is odd.... you can't use the word d i k e, but you can use the word spelled dyke?

I'm confused.

What was the topic?

[jocko]

http://elsiepeaforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=14979.msg133426#msg133426

how is this for an ice cm9 with the dawson front and rear sights.. and also in a recluse pocket holster, all providced by one of the elsie pea moderators.. u can view the dawson sights mchg bgetterif you just back up to page 6 in that same forum to..

[Willieboy]

Those look like nice sights. I like the low profile.

[DubDubU]

this thread is making me go blind

[johnh]

On the OP as I have been entirely occupied at NRA, I think a simple rule of thumb is stay very on topic when the topic merits a very technical discussion. For example, "why does my gun do such and such?" If someone wants help on a serious issue, that is when they most get upset for hijacking onto something not helpful to them. Make sense? I tend to follow that sort of unwritten conduct rule on forums, at least until the OP seems to have gotten a reasonable answer.

[jocko]

and no doubt John, that is what this forum does we tend to then get off track after the thread has basically run its course.

[Bawanna]

Wheeew, thats a relief, I thought sure when John got home I was gonna be grounded. I try to stay focused I really do.

[jocko]

u are grounded bawanna, just look around. The day u stay focused is the day this forum starts to move backwards. You keep good peace when maybe war is close. U make good sense when sometimes sense is no where even close, u change,, the forum changes, like I say , just the nature of the beast. This is the internet and it comes in all makes an colors..

oh yes and as u know we are all AUTHORITIES..

[MW surveyor]

Thank you johnh for the input and clarification.

I too believe that we need to get to the problem solving first and it appears for the most part that we do. After the problem is solved, seems to be the main area of thread jacks.

[jocko]

this thread is making me go blind

come from. we have alot of 16 year old blind kid here in my home town:behindsofa:

[Dietrich]

I am well aware that I`m to blame for a lot of the off the wall stuff that goes on here.I didn`t realize that it was bothering some folks so much but I can readily see their point.Therefore, I resolve to rein myself in and knuckle down to the business at hand.If I can`t offer something constructive in a thread,I need to keep my mouth shut and my fingers off the keyboard.It will most likely result in a better informed group of gun owners.I am ashamed of myself.Again.

[TheTman]

Dietrich,
Please don't do that, some of your comments really make my day, like that possum in the toilet deal. Just save em for after the problems has been solved or question answered. That shouldn't be a problem with anyone, if it is, perhaps they are wound a little too tightly and no doubt need some stress relief that your comments can provide.

+ about a million and a half. Use the anything goes thread, wait till the issue is taken care of or just feel free to drop a bomb now and then. You ease up anymore and you'll be invisible and I'll ground you.
Say hi to your cousin Shirley for me too.

bull sh-t!:32:

[JimBianchi]

When I first got my MK9 I carried it in a SmartCarry in shorts. When I was at the kiddie pool with my daughter, she was 18m to 2yrs or something, I wore it that way.

She was in the very shallow end having fun with a bunch of kids, her mom and adults friends all around her, me standing on the edge watching.

As the group was playing, they didn't realize they were drifting toward the deeper end and all of a sudden I saw my girl go under, an in that split second, no one watching but me.

I jumped it, grabbed her and calmed her and mom down, everyone was fine.

When I got out I realized I had a very wet gun now hanging around my waist.
Because it was a public pool and knew the bathrooms did not have locking doors I elected to just leave it as is, rather than risk panicking the sheeple, as I assessed my pistol.

Well three hours later I get home, I get the gun disassembled and cleaned, but for the life of me I could not get the water stain off of the portion of the slide that was touching my side! Nothing worked.

I finally found a Stainless Steel polishing cloth at a kitchen shop that did the trick. Some kind of polish in the cloth and it worked wonders on the stubborn spot.

The mark was there for over a year before I found a that cloth! I was sure it was permanent, but I am never one to give, thank goodness.

Still looks brand new four years later and it has renewed my faith in Stainless Steel.

I am well aware that I`m to blame for a lot of the off the wall stuff that goes on here.I didn`t realize that it was bothering some folks so much but I can readily see their point.Therefore, I resolve to rein myself in and knuckle down to the business at hand.If I can`t offer something constructive in a thread,I need to keep my mouth shut and my fingers off the keyboard.It will most likely result in a better informed group of gun owners.I am ashamed of myself.Again.
After a period of self loathing I have now gotten over my shame.I feel much better about myself and the way this forum works.It ain`t broke.I have never seen any question go unanswered except the one I asked concerning the Sigma series of S&Ws and I can`t remember what it was anyway.Got to go figure out a new signature.
