Spartandieseltech was a good one too. Discussions about the emissions crap on new diesel vehicles, then admitted to having one of his employees cheat an emissions test or something like that to keep a vehicle on the road. Banned by the end of the day IIRC.
ETA-hewas also a SOT AND had bought a parts kit for a minigun off gunbroker, seller included a free MK19. Always wondered if he got caught over the emissions cheating and if that impacted the full autos. |

Quoted: I remember steinhab as being quite knowledgeable. His commentary on what was happening in Syria during that cluster was brilliant. He was always polite to me when I had interactions with him. You could have more info than I concerning what kind of person he was, but I reserve the right to be skeptical without having more than one side to any story. View Quote He was a gotdamn lying blowhard asshole. |

Who was it that posted a pic of a "woman" from behind and asked who would tap it? Ed Sr posted among the first. Then the person was pictured from the front and was an ugly as sin guy.
That thread got out of control fast. |

Quoted: What did he lie about? View Quote I posted my story about this before but he was in the precision rifle forum asking how to load a bipod and basically saying he no idea about long range and he was just starting. It couldn’t have been 2 days later in GD he was posting in his normal style about long range shooting and what an expert he was. When I called him on it he sent me a huge unhinged PM. Dude had problems. |

My buddy was all sorts of wtf over the drama. Unhinged emails/texts/messages are a low probability play to change someone's mind. |

The guy who led us to believe he was a manager or owner of a strip joint. Then we found out he killed himself. His wife (I think?) created an account and let us know everything he said/posted here was made up.
His avatar was of a bald guy, I think it was Uncle Fester from The Adams Family ? Memory is fuzzy now. MClean4Hire ? Or something like that. |

Quoted: is 1Gunrunner still around? I disappeared after the Washington hometown forum blew up and just recently started coming back. View Quote I came across him in IRL a little over a year ago through a mutual friend. I dont have anything nice to say about the guy, and would highly recommend avoiding any sort of business transaction with him. |

Quoted: I knew they broke it off in his ass, didn't kniw they stuck it in sideways. Holy shit. View Quote I read the complaint. He helped them break it off by not responding at all to the investigation or notice of judgment. His lawyer ditched him and he "shut down" Spartan Diesel by basically renaming it Patriot Diesel and selling the same products. Figuratively sticking you fingers in your ears and yelling "nyah nyah nyah" when the Man comes after you is generally not a sound strategy. |

Has anyone mentioned JaxsonRaine? I recall he was a somewhat short-lived but enthusiastic troll. Can't remember if he was shown the door or if he flamed out on his own choosing.

Quoted: Cool thanks for the save. Pretty sick all the results I got trying to Google youth pastor misconduct. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes It is sick. And it is damnable. I only remembered the deal with NakedGunman because I was creeped out by a lot of his posting containing sexual innuendo. I considered it completely inappropriate for someone claiming to be a pastor. It was easy to google and find his real name at that time because he had posted pictures of a well known lady speaking at his church. Just had to connect the two. [EDIT: He may have even posted links to his church. It's been a long time. I don't remember any longer.] One day, I noticed that he hadn't posted for a while. I searched the site to see if he had and saw that he had not. At that time the 1st articles of his arrest and the accusations came out. Kind of stuck in my mind. |

He had something like eight account warnings and six temporary ban for personal attacks and/or trolling. Despite "final warnings" he still engaged in personal attacks or trolling, and we still gave him more chances. An example of his trolling would be posting an inappropriate gay comment/joke in a thread about a Marine winning a MoH. He was one of those guys who treated AR15.COM as his personal playground, and didn't really give a fuck about following the rules - probably assuming that his "popularity" would protect him, even though mods/staff warned him repeatedly that he would be banned if he didn't stop. He did behave for a few years, but ultimately was unable to control himself, and reverted to his old trolling and personal attack ways. |

The current Q Clan is just retarded. And, as a historical note, GD pummeled him like he was a pinata full of Bud Light tall boys at a Hells Angels quinceanera, that dude took 100 hits for every kick he lashed out. I'm gonna stick around long enough to be here when you, me and Aimless are the last three not banned, and then I'm going to challenge you both to an arm wrestling contest for final ownership of GD. |

I was absolutely shocked that gene5 lasted as long as he did.
Then I was shocked that he was banned because he had gotten away with it as long as he did. I'm not sure that the dude ever posted sober. Hard to tell, maybe that was just his mental baseline: acting like a drunk. |

Quoted: Don't forget the guy with the tactical wheelbarrow View Quote Ahhh, Gunkid!!!! My personal favorite as I remember running into him back in the late 1990s, I believe (maybe a bit later) and seeing him on MANY of the old gun boards!!!! ETA: he went to the slammer as, I think, a "prohibited possessor" and then got out.....AND.....I think he made his way back. LOLOL!!! I really need a tactical chihuahua. |
