Camping Grills

I’m getting taken to the woodshed by a Canadian! I should seriously re evaluate my social discord.

Why @GrateEggspectations? Just why

Not sure when paging a member with relevant experience became taboo. But perhaps it’s appropriate to channel the line one member once chided me with when I innocently asked another member whether photos were his (and was correct in my suspicion that he was in fact a professional photographer)…. “Care to post the thread rules?”

I would think paging a member that has been banned by the mods and is operating under an obvious troll account is perhaps a slightly different story.  

Regardless, the dude hasn’t been active of late.   

The member in question is an active, legitimate member until the mods say otherwise. If any of you become mods, you can of course decide otherwise. Until then, forum composition is not up to you; nor me. Many may just as easily argue that you, me or the assassin who is Alaskan shouldn’t be here. Be glad they haven’t been granted that power. 

I have been on the receiving end of his insults and have found them distasteful, but cannot overlook that there can still be valuable info he has to share. I have also received helpful PMs out of nowhere. I tend not to throw the baby out with the bath water. Knowledge - That’s all I was trying to tap into here. Anyone who reads further can assume rightful responsibility for their own assumptions. Just because I tag him, as I routinely do other members, it should not be erroneously conflated with endorsement. If it is construed as such, check yourself. Some of y’all may be axe murderes for all I know. I don’t police all activity by all members. Not only because it’s not my role, but because I am on here for but a finite period of time per day and would not begin to draw conclusions that I could deem accurate from the small sample of behaviour I see from each member on this forum.

Are you saying you’ve never interacted with a troll account (including those resulting from a ban), let alone operated one? Weren’t you yourself also banned at one point? Should I use that as a barometer for whether or not I should be interacting with you? C’mon now, John. 

Many of the most savage posts I’ve seen on this forum have come from members - many of whom are still active - who were never banned, let alone even reprimanded by their fellow members for the taunting (e.g., making fun of a member’s medical conditions, posting unflattering and modified photos of other members in jest, etc.). Are we saying that banning is the a good indicator of poor social responsibility on the forum? This has been quite far from my experience since joining in 2016. Have seen some pretty merciless stuff that went unchecked by both mods and members “in good standing.”

To contrast, I am now being challenged for simply tagging an active member who, while unpopular with many and perhaps banned under previous accounts, has legitimate experience to share on the subject at hand, which is why they have been tagged. Not sure where I have erred so grievously. Pretty sanctimonious crowd here. 

Three relevant major principles (of many) that I legitimately always seek to live by: i) live and let live, ii) do no harm, and iii) glass houses. If I have not violated any of those here, please see “i.” If I have violated any, please see item “i” and carry about your business. 🙂 

I gave this long treatment because I refuse to believe that by tagging a member, I am somehow complicit in their perceived misdeeds and I resent the inference. I don’t own any other member’s actions any more than you own mine. To take that position would be irresponsible, as well as a severe logical shortcut. 

Is it Friday yet?

Is now a bad time to point out little rascal and Prescott are agreeing with your posts?

I’m in the market for a portable car camping grill.  I prefer charcoal but could do gas.  Electric wont work.  Don’t want to spring for the minimax.  Currently considering the Weber go anywhere, smokey joe and lodge sportsman.  Any feedback/recommendations?

I don't know, look at the muscles it takes to haul that thing around!

Dang, what is going on in the world. Who picks a fight with a Canadian?

My new "camping" setup is a wok burner and a wok.  Simple, light, incredibly versatile.

I realize @Lit was more of a forum member than a troll but I have him as the number one all-time troll here on the forum. Just the mention of his name and he gets the forum going sideways. The funny part is that he's banned and people still go apesh!t. Well done Lit, well done!
