You've always been a gentleman in my eye and you make a great product. It's their loss.

 

I don’t know anything about the politics or motivations involved but I find that in most situations like this, nobody is intending to be unreasonable. I find that most rules are created out of reasonable intentions. Then people start rigidly enforcing those rules with a narrow focus and it leads to unreasonable results.

Kegan, I have always found your posts to be positive and informative. I have a hard time believing that a thinking person would decide that a traditional archery forum is better without you in it.

Mistakes are a part of life. You’ve accepted and apologized for yours. Perhaps they will realize that banning you was also a mistake and come up with an accommodation. I hope so.

 

I deeply appreciate the kindness offered, everyone. I made a mistake, broke the rules, and am sorry for having done so. No apology is owed to me and there's no need for anyone to bend rules or make exceptions. I'm grateful for all that have offered guidance and support!

 

And the winner is....................................kegan!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah you're correct. Glad my school teacher wife won't read this.[emoji6]

Well you know... the real problem is that I understood you perfectly... :laugh:

 

LOL!!!!
Apparently it is not an exclusive club, my farther was banned for using his actual name, Grimwald Reaper. Most would just call him Grim, so he signed on as Grim Reaper. After 2 posts, someone took offense and he was banned.


Stepping wolf

 

I get messages every time I post on TT about needing to be a sponsor and also someone reported one of my sale threads about a year ago and I got the sponsor pm so I just don’t post much on those sites .
They should feel lucky to have you buddy

 

My dear friend

I know I’ve been mia of late but I hate to see you down

You are the best of what this sport is in every way

From the bows you craft to the way you conduct your business

Also I’ll lay down the money to bet you could swab the deck when it comes to shooting of anyone on there

Never let a bunch of jerks like the kind that make decisions on TG make you doubt anything about yourself

As for getting banned ........ I got banned years ago ....the management are jerk offs

I’ll reach out buddy

 

Normally, you might look at this as a badge of honor. Recognizing that you are in the business, though, means it takes away an avenue to get your message out. However, for TragGang, it looks like that avenue is more of a cul-de-sac, or a dead end street, or the road that leads to the hazardous waste dump.

 

It seems an outsider usually wins their coveted Howard Hill tournament in Alabama most years.

I personally know 2. The first one trained the 2nd. He straightened me out too. He’d be banned in 1 hour from TG.

 

Kegan,
No one likes getting the shove, especially when you don't really understand why. TG use to be my big time hangout place. Made some good friends over there, but as time went on I could see the very fine line you had to walk if you wanted to keep your "admit one" ticket.

I am not a trouble maker, but also do not play those games. Some folks got away with everything and the rest have to make sure your t's are crossed and your i's dotted, so to speak. I left and have not looked back. You should do the same, it is definitely there loss.

Your bows are shooters. My one buddy Homey88 has a few, which I have shot, and they work.......and you keep up the good work.


Good Shooting->->->->Craig

 

I left when I realized the sort of people that ran that place.

 

You are too hard on yourself. You have always come across straight, not based on what others might think about a post and not for some immediate benefit but on personal principles.

Breaking rules is breaking rules but I will say it is also pretty rare to have character these days.

 

Just keep building great bows. Everything else will take care of itself.

 

Kegan,
Yeah...their loss. If a class act like yourself isn't good enough for them...then i'm out too.

BTW, I sent you a PM.

 

Bunch of Dorks!

 

Screw them We love you here.

 

TG adds a whole new meaning to the word CENSORSHIP. They did you a favor...…...

 

OK, I'm out of the loop. What is TT & TG? Some kind of traditional archery site or something?

 

Tradalk and Tradgang, two other trad forums.

 

You're in good company Kegan.

 

Any site that bans you or erases your posts after you give your thoughts in a reasonable manner is doing you a favor. Dont sweat it. You are a good guys from the posts of yours I’ve read.

 

Happens to the best of us!! I got banned as well for speaking truthfully about Asbell’s and Ron LaClair and quoting facts. Seems facts and data have no place their either??

Kegan - Any dealings with you have always been above professional and your replies extremely prompt!! Take it from someone who has been in a career for 30+ years that I have zero passion for, simply because the money is decent........As the quote goes, “Do something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life!”

I wish I was only as blessed as you are!!

Mark

 

Getting banned from TG is not all bad. I am sure you are disappointed for breaking their rules, but mistakes happen. It is, however, a loss to their membership. They will not have the benefit of your insights and wealth of knowledge. I used to visit that site daily and really developed some good friendships and acquaintances within their membership. I have also leaned a lot from many of their members as well.

 

What is the purpose of getting banned from a forum? If you want to stay you register a new user and password and keep on posting with your new profile. Got banned on another site making a political joke. I write a letter to the owner and asked him if my post offend only the moderator or everyone in the world. I ask him also what does it help I get banned and will create in new user in one minute. He lifted the ban.

 

Some forums are smart enough to know you IP address and will not allow you to do that.
Also with that attitude and approach I can see why you were banned.

keep your head up man! you truly have integrity to compose your business as you do, as well as compose yourself the way you do. TG is the loser here, lost a great member over lack of communication.

I was actually going to check TG out, for another resource as well as a group of like minded folks.... now there is no way.... stuff like that irritates the heck out of me, I have never seen you plug your business above another, even when it deserves it.

I hope you keep doing what you're doing, you are a rare business man, and it's in a refreshing way
