Personal attacks are not <BR>appropriate or honorable in any form in a public forum, though after reading <BR>the post you have taken offense at, Ulrich, I am not seeing where your honor <BR>was attacked in any way. Arcus Jaque merely said that he considered that <BR>people chose not to use devices such as sights, preferring to keep the field <BR>of competition as level as possible as a matter of honor. At no point did he <BR>question yours. Your personal attack, however, should have been taken off <BR>the boards. Where his comment was a generalization, yours is extremely <BR>explicit and is offensive and inappropriate in this forum.<BR><BR>You seem to have lost your sense of humor in the past two year, sir. I <BR>suggest you go look for it. You took major offense at a clear jest from me. <BR>I included a wink to indicate I was teasing
and you still took offense.<BR><BR>Now, gentlemen, I hope that this topic gets closed or taken off list, ere <BR>the powers above see fit to take more action than my humble comments.<BR><BR>Actions speak louder than the loudest words. Prove your honor by what you <BR>do, not by arguing about it. Honor speaks for itself.<BR><BR>Lyneya de Grey<BR><BR>----Original Message Follows----<BR>From: David Ruff <DAVIDSBOX01@YAHOO.COM><BR>Reply-To: Archery within the Kingdom of <BR>Ansteorra<ANSTEORRA-ARCHERY@ANSTEORRA.ORG><BR>To: jspinks@ix.netcom.com, Archery within the Kingdom of <BR>Ansteorra<ANSTEORRA-ARCHERY@ANSTEORRA.ORG><BR>Subject: Re: [Ansteorra-archery] An offer to anyone who dares take it.<BR>Date: Mon, 23 May 2005 09:03:16 -0700 (PDT)<BR><BR>Thank you, that offer even applies to you my friend, even tho your a bow <BR>shooter :P<BR><BR>Now my friend, you are questioning my honor..... you have done so in open <BR>forum, something i deem as serious.<BR><BR>You speak of honor as if i
am not honorable becuase i choose to use period <BR>ways, like the sight marks on the limb of a bow is any less honorable. When <BR>i shoot sightless i shoot with no referance other then the tip of my bolt. <BR>YET a bow shoots with sight marks - i do not see your call to them about <BR>being unhonorable.<BR><BR>YOU yourself where there the day i willingly told the score keeper to drop <BR>my 105 royal average due to questions of period or not.<BR><BR>YOU yourself asked me to remove my screw on my stock as it might be <BR>construde as a kisser button. Yet i am unhonorable?<BR><BR>YOU asked me not to notch my tips to use as blade sights EVEN THO it was <BR>period to spin the bodkin in a way to use the top as a blade front sight.<BR><BR>YOU told me there would be questions on using more then 100# in a prod, and <BR>i said i would not.<BR><BR>I am unhonorable?<BR><BR>You even laughed when you heard i bench build my bolts to within 3 grains of <BR>eachother. Any bolt i carry is balanced
and grain matched - im a shooter, <BR>thats what shooters do.<BR><BR>You question my ability to shoot without sights. Would you care to challenge <BR>that on the field? or infront of a crowd? I would be happy to prove my <BR>ability with a sightless crossbow if your questioning it in a friendly test <BR>of skill. I see you calling me out and questioning my honor M'lord, and if <BR>you wish, i can certainly rise to that private challenge. But that challenge <BR>has nothing to do with this titled shoot.<BR><BR>What say you?<BR><BR>Ulrich<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>jspinks@ix.netcom.com wrote:<BR>A well said and most genourous offer.<BR>Arcus Jaque<BR><BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: David Ruff<BR>Sent: May 23, 2005 8:37 AM<BR>To: Archery within the Kingdom of Ansteorra<BR>Subject: [Ansteorra-archery] An offer to anyone who dares take it.<BR><BR><BR>I have thought about it over this past 36 hours i have seemed to get put <BR>into the whole crossbow and shooting light. I have to
tell you a select few <BR>have really put a bee in my bonnett. I even dare say to the point where i <BR>REALLY look forward to the day i shoot against them.<BR><BR>But we are all adults here and we are all supposed to support our fellow <BR>ARCHERS.<BR><BR><BR>So i offer my services, my work shop, my blueprints, my knowledge, my time <BR>and all my contacts for the supplies to build a crossbow, a longbow, a <BR>recurve, a stonebow, a bulletbow or a repeating crossbow. If you want to go <BR>run of the mill to high end A&S show piece - we can do that. If you need <BR>doc's to support anything on any of the listed weapons, i offer that as <BR>well.<BR><BR>I will even help you get started and help you from start to finish. <BR>Knowledge is free. The only thing i ask in return is if we use my shop to <BR>help off set dulling blades and maybe a cold soda every now and then - at <BR>that, i will perform backflips and beg on command.<BR><BR>So to anyone in the area - or outside the area
- i offer this, full shop and <BR>the knowledge of how to do it with a guiding hand ---- take it, leave it, <BR>love it or hate it. The light will be on for ya. At the very minimum this <BR>gives an out to those that believe that they can't have what others do and <BR>compete. Now the playing field is even and the ball resides in your court.<BR><BR><BR>Ulrich Of Carolingia<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>---------------------------------<BR><BR>Yahoo! Mail Mobile<BR>Take Yahoo!
