What happened to Blitzkrieg?

[Stomper]

I was also tired (embarrassed actually) of the tortured syntax and horrible grammar of "official" news letters (like Geo. W torutured public speeches), and lobbying letters to politicians... to the point that I even offered to edit and polish them up for review before they were sent out, but to no avail.

A lot of "puff and pose" It was almost like grown-ups trying to play "war" like kids do... at least that's how it rubbed me... not my thing.

I won't get into the money issues...

I noticed that in those emails too. Kind of had to cringe each time. I am sorry it went the way it did though. We can always use more pro-gun sites and groups.

 

[Caveman Jim]

Yeah, the grammar there was atrocious, I had to spend a lot of time to figure it out (you know I am hearing challenged)......

I was also told that a certain person was looking to make it his livihood because of the income potential from donations and dues....

I still have to work 25 hours a week to pay the bills, and I don't have many

Come on Joe, we all know you're the one driving around downtown PDX I that Lamborghini

I wasn't referring to you at all, Joe... it was about that "other guy" who was accusing you of the very thing he wound up doing...

'Nuff said on the matter... I get peeved every time I think about it.

 

[Just Jim]

It's just my way of thinking but if I wanted to make money on a gun website I would study the culture and figure out what would bring them here to spend money.

People come and people go so what are they looking for here? What drives them away? What are the values of the majority of gun owners? Where is Blitzkrieg?

 

[Stomper]

He's hanging either with Mr. Cooper... or Carmen Sandiego.

Oh I know, I'm laughing because even with the size of NWFA I still can't pay myself minimum wage, let alone a decent living. Not that it couldn't, I'm just not willing to compromise the quality of the site or our goals for money

That's absolutely true. If money were the goal this place would be quite a bit different.

Honestly Joe, I am sure that no one would begrudge you at least making "some" kind of income off your site. It is a fabulous place. The consistency and mere presence is worth it to me....

I appreciate that, and I do take a wage, it's just not very much

... not to mention the quick-wits that are supplied.... FREE of charge... I might add.

DOOD..... how have I never thought of this before?

I need to start a regional LIBERAL firearm owners board... education, representation... hellz yea

Well I understand your feeling on the goal, deal is you never get the time back so I hope the time you are losing is worth it.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Tuka could be back, not sure he cares to.

I had a couple of transactions with Blitzkrieg. I live about 30 min from him. I never heard or picked up on any of this when I talked to him. And I was in his house once.
