I’m not sure if I missed something, but I’m sensing a change. Arc, I hope you’ll see this. I just wanted to say thank you, I’ve enjoyed your posts over the years. I particularly enjoyed all your knowledge on the M14/M1A, before the rifle room went AR centric. And I’ve enjoyed your personality. Thank you! | ||

I don’t think he’s going anywhere. Probably “Technical issues”. But yes, there is an odd disturbance in the Force. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

I've noticed a change as well recently. Hope all is well. "Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living. But, sure as God's got sandals, it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails." "We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled." | |||

He has posted some...interesting...threads recently, and all his posts in the lair were locked. Just out of the ordinary. Particularly for him. Hope he is ok —————————————————— If the meek will inherit the earth, what will happen to us tigers? | |||

Went and looked to find a lot of threads started by Arc are locked. I dont ever remember him starting so many threads. Mostly in the Rifle Room. Something is not right. | |||

Oh, for goodness sake. Nothing's wrong and arcwelder is not leaving. Cut it out, please. Good grief. | |||

Sorry for making some wrong assumptions. It looked like he was quietly making an exit. I truly wanted to say thank you. But I do apologize for starting something that I really have no information about, it is kinda dumb. | |||

This is why we have email. arcwelder is a capable moderator and I don't micromanage him. If he has a question about moderation of the forum, he asks me and I answer him. If I need to to make him aware of anything he needs to know, I tell him. Otherwise, he's an experienced moderator and an adult and I trust him to do the right thing. His presence in the forum as a moderator is quite valuable to me and although I rarely say it, I need him here. The recent, aborted raffle is a prime example. As far as I know, arcwelder has some very positive things happening in his life right now. If you want to know why he has posted things he has of late, or why he locks some of his own threads, you'll have to ask him. I'll point out that if SIGform allowed all members to lock their own threads, there would be multiple threads locked each day. As it stands, arcwelder is trusted by me and he gets no compensation for his duties here, so the least I can do is leave him alone and not make him explain every action he takes as a moderator. He knows what he's doing. | |||

It's all that Rap music!!!  I'm guessing it's the locking of all the Lair threads that made people scratch their noggins... -------------------- I like Sigs and HK's, and maybe Glocks | |||

As anybody who'd been paying attention would know, as, IIRC, you've mentioned it more than once. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

| Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
I noticed a few lately that seemed to solicit longer and more thought out answers, philosophical in nature. My impression was that he was trying to create something interesting and get responses that required more lengthy and thought out answers than the usual responses to some news article or question. We may all be putting a little too much thought into his motivation. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Don't beat yourself up over it, and don't let it stop you from posting when you feel compelled. | |||

I’m not worried about Arc. He’s a very stable genius You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

I wasn't worried. I too have noticed a philosophical/introspective trend in his posts lately but I chalked it up to a near-miss at a red light or an impending colonoscopy or the like  We love you, Arc! Group hug? Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||
