    Posted: October 08 2009 at 7:27pm
I checked back in here a few weeks ago just to see how ya'll are doing. What do I find? BS attacks and BS info being churned out by just a small handful of folk that has wasted more bandwidth than I thought possible.

It's so difficult to believe that this is the same site it used to be. Thankfully there are some that still hold true to the goals and cooperation that I contributed to in the past.

I'm truly disappointed in the personality stroking/bashing within this  forum. Do the 'major' players realize how confusing, frustrating and banal the majority of their posts are?

Geeze, anyone have a site I can go to that closely replicates the ol' AFT?

Please don't deluge me with 'your rationale'/history/fiction... Just guide me to pertinent info!

Truly sad...

Tech,

I'm not sure if that is friendly or enemy fire. I'm just a retired USAF 'Nam vet that has become very concerned for our nation. Survival has been ingrained in me through both my 20 year military career and my subsequent civilian experiences since '85. I've prepped for the 'canes here in Florida and really ramped up prior to Y2K.

I truly enjoyed contributing whatever I could here in the past. But now there seems to be soooo much chaff I have to wade through to discern or dig for the 'truth'. I'm not a wacko, although I do believe that some in 'charge' have no regard for us.

So if you have an alternate reliable source for our common medical concerns, please LMK. If you're being a ****, then, up yours. In either case, I live in Bradenton, FL and would be more than willing to discuss this face to face.

If I took your response the wrong way , then  I'll apoligize and await a constructive/informative link. Otherwise, see the paragraph above...

My sincerity is only exceeded by my patriotism!

Dang you snap easily at friendly posts. You sound like you want to take a swing at me. I was pointing out an awesome survivalist board that I'm on. It covers every aspect of survival and my handle it the same on that board. It was meant as a respectful sincere post. I didn't post a direct link as I felt it might take traffic from this site.

If you enjoy MMA I'll spar with you anytime. I'm always up for a challenge. My Nephew is this guys sparing partner and I'll be training with him in two months in Colorado. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Shane-Carwin-14013

Excuse my swollen face in this picture This picture was taken this year, my face and head are swollen from the addition of a few titanium plates. I look a little different now. Not bad shape for 46 years old but 20 years of MMA and crazy sports has its price.

I'm 6'4" and 255 in this picture






I "won" this match but you would never guess it by the pictures taken 7 days later.
Talk about a messed up face. LOL

"Snap at friendly posts"? What was friendly in your reply? You didn't  give a link. Have you Googled 'survivalist boards' lately? The best one ever was sponsored by SF personnel that more than likely was way before your time. That site was driven underground and folk such as I are still looking for their trail. Oh how I miss 'em...

You suggested 'spare' (I'm assuming 'spar', I know...) but I said discuss. Obviously there is no discussion here...

Google has been my 'friend' since it's inception. But I don't want to go 'out there'. So what is this grande site you suggest? Here's my email addy: 2ifbyC@tampabay.com. Now please cool your heels and just contact me in a civilized manner.

As you should know, this site is not what it use to be and what many are looking for. So, please do not consider me your enemy in my quest. My 'friendly' vs. 'enemy' statement was made in all honesty, which I clearly expressed in my post.

BTW, your reference to MMA and the pic is way beyond the true issues here. If you can not discern the difference twix my search for information and a 'challenge', then that's your issue; not mine!

You could not find a more supportive individual, other than your family, than I when it comes to our nation and well-being. So if you wish to truly aid another committed concerned patriot, contact me.

Mary,

Thank you for your link! I will participate and contribute if and when I can after I wrap up 'business' here.

Again, Thanx! Take care and love life!

This was my exact post above.

How is that an insulting post?

SurvivalistBoards.com <---------------


You're the one talking about meeting me face to face and telling me up yours with ***** stuff? You were clearly bent out of shape from me posting that one line of text above. I didn't want to take traffic from this site. That's why I didn't post a direct link but it's the very top listings on google.


No hard feelings at all. Enjoy life...

If you have a little more information on that SF personal? I'll try and find it for you. I've been around before ftp, telnet, USENET and gopher. Hunting down stuff is one of my specialties.

Tech,

If you can not understand my post given that you did not post a site, then let's just drop this.

I've seen the attacks upon those that have been sincere here. I was 'bent out of shape' out of caution, not a predetermined mindset. That's why I posted a pre-apology. Did you read that?

Thanx for the belated link and I will check it out. When I go there and if I decide to participate, I will use the my same nomer as here. So hopefully you will discover I'm not your challenger..

BTW, you're almost as ugly as I am! But I think I may have a few years on ya...

I apologize if you thought I "might" be giving you a hard time.

That site has almost a million posts and 22,000 members and it can be information overload for some people.

Tech,

I have a gut feeling we are on the same 'path'. That's why I had to reply to your 'bristle'. But hey, it's OK. I just hate BS when the SITREP isn't looking too good. Plus I always try to cover my six...

I've been through at least four 'puters since my last contact with that SF site. So please give me some time to do a bit of deep research to see if I even have a 'scent' to follow. I guarantee ya that if you are the individual I think you are, it will be worth it!

I've given my email addy. So, I'm not afraid of the 'system'. 'Cause if I'm bagged, then it's way too late...

For our concerned  citizens that may read this post, I'm not an alarmist, just a realist. We ARE on a slippery slope and building speed...

Thanx rickster! Looks promising...

SheepLady, I appreciate your kind statement!

Mary, I'll be checking out your suggested site today. Hope to see ya there.

Tech, give me a bit of time to see if I can find the name of the SF group.

To all, I'm just an older guy that has many concerns for the future of my family, friends and our nation. I'm old and tired enough to know that my time is limited. Therefore my quest for info without the theatrics... May all of ya'll be safe, prosperous and well informed!

Hope to catch ya'll later on the 'playground'...

I've mostly moved on to a MUCH more sensical board.  But I can't post the link, it's blocked.  You can find it pretty easily, it's tied to a flu tracker site run by a member who was banned from here.

www.swineflu.org is where most of us from this board went to. Albert started it back in April when the H1N1 pandemic started, most of us have our same user names over there as from here. It has the most up to date news/info and discussion about H1N1, there is a seperate section for off-topic discussion, but everything is pertaining to H1N1.

I've been over to that site a few times.  Just can't get comfortable with it.  Too bright a screen.  Yeah, I miss my AFT friends over there, but I've been with here for three plus years.   Plus, just have a limited amount of time to navigate around.

   I'm on swineflu.org more than AFT at the moment because it's much more heavily regulated, panders a lot less to conspiracy theory advocates, and doesn't tolerate personal attacks and spamming. It's also much more user friendly if learning about H1N1 pandemic flu preparedness is your goal, and I think it's much less likely to scare off new people. If you've been here a while you know the routine, but to anyone surfing the internet for info, it must get a bit scary in here at times.

There are several banned members there & the one named Sophia is the one I can't stand.  She was also banned from this site.  There is also another person who takes everything from the news aggregation sites & posts them one after another after another after another, so much so, that they went by so fast you couln't comment on anything.  Go there if you wish.

That member annoyed me big time (sort of like I drive some members here nuts) after a while I didn't mind the posts and found common ground.
