Terry,
 Save yourself the anger and frustration, just delete his emails before opening them.
  Life is too short to waste your time on fools.

One day I will fail to be amazed at the low things some will say and do.  (Probably not)

While I'm on the net for a bit every day and it is important in my work, I'd gladly give it up to muffle folks like this who never had a voice in the face to face days.

Or at least they wouldn't have retained a full set of teeth.

I dealt with four people by phone yesterday AM about a certain subject. The fourth one, and a very rude lady,  said I'd be getting 36 more calls. I replied, nope your's is the last call from your town.

Just when ya think ya seen it all....

I'm w tater....delete that trash....don't even read it

Tim

Just another bowzo trying to play soap opera 3 grade antics.  Oh, and yes, lets not perpetuate another myth that Tradgang is about archery.  Its never been about archery.

Thanks Terry!

   

I have dealt with individuals like this in the past. The best way I have found to have them go away is to not play their game and they just drift away.
Terry and admins thanks for this sight it is a great place to grather knowledge on trad archery.

I just now got another email from Tim Cooper...

"Your mom is a felon"

This is the kind of folks we have to deal with, now he's dragging my mom into it.

Saying stuff about Mom is about as low as it gets.  Keep up the good work here Terry and all the mods here.

I find that ignoring such folks and their comments usually results in them finding someone else's heels to bark at.

How Big a Boy is he? Time to open up a can of ass woopin!!

Send him a bonafide TradGang safety pin.

QuoteHow Big a Boy is he?

I was about sure you were an Okie at first read.

Google "how big a boy are ya"  

Tim who? Never heard of him

Tim Cooper needs to go to a safe place.

Never heard of him. Is he related to Streep?

Dear Butthurt Snowflake,

We, at TRADGANG, take hurt feelings seriously. If you don't have someone who can give you a hug and make things all better, please let us know and we will promptly dispatch a "hugger" to you ASAP. In the event we are unable to find a "hugger" we will notify the fire department and request that they send fire personnel to your location. If you are in need of supplemental support, upon written request, we will make every reasonable effort to provide you with a "blankey", a "binky" and/or a bottle if you so desire.

My login name was timcii and my registration was declined. Can you help?   I am a real human and my interest in tradgang is hand crafting bows for my own use and sharing knowledge about the subject with the community. Not interested in wheelies etc.

Never mind. I have no bowyer business. I mentioned no business. Y'all are hypersensitive and paranoid. I won't be using your website. Ballasted bowyer isn't a business listed anywhere in the known universe and I have never sold a bow. Ballasted is a nautical term.  It's the weight ships carry to keep them upright. I am fat. It keeps me from blowing away when I drive through in a high profile vehicle, "lol." Bowyer is anyone who makes bows whether a professional or hobbyist--I made my intentions clear. You suck.

sorry you take offensive when none was intended.

using the word "bowyer" in a public handle may or may not imply your are in that business, who would know for sure from your public name that you're a "hobbyist" bowyer and not commercial?  

we have a responsibility to our commercial bowyer sponsors, who keep our cyber campfire burn 24x7 - it's really that simple.

and in the long run, since trad gang is the largest and most known website for traditional bowhunting and bow crafting, with the largest gathering of world class bowyer membership, you really are the one losing out.  it's too bad your ego got in the way of common sense, that's really the tragedy.

The issue is that if you are so sensitive to the screen name I chose, I am quite certain I will be equally blunderous in offending your moderator with a post if I happen to ask a question or give advice that COULD be related to commerce if misconstrued.  I get that you want to protect your sponsors and I even agree that is important--but I don't believe a clumsy old fool like myself can keep pace with your sensitivities of word choice. I live under a high level of legal scrutiny in vocation. I won't tolerate the same in avocation.
