    He's put me on IGNORE a couple of times. He doesn't seem to be able to make it permanent though.

    Plenty of battery powered wireless cameras available now for just a couple hundred bucks

    yeah it’s out of your pocket but it’s a lot cheaper than an accident and ticket etc

    I miss him too. Some outrageous stories but he sure was entertaining.

    All the hands that he has put on ignore are his biggest supporters and advocates. Now that is an epiphany of irony.

    That dude was harder on the ######## meter than trying to eat at a busy truck stop lunch counter!

    I can handle a little storytelling, but when you start insulting my intelligence with what you expect me to believe, we got a problem.

    He got called out for his tall stories, not once but several times. Not just called out either, he was called a liar to his face.
    He'd just laugh and tell another story, no sense of disconnect at all.

    I always thought he'd have great success in politics.
     
    Feedman, Speedy356, Star Rider and 4 others Thank this.

    Pretty much how I ended up on his ignore list. I wasn't overly tactful about it, IIRC.

    I didn't really mind his stories so much but I worried that some of the younger and more impressionable guys would take them as gospel. It happened too.
    I think the rookies being dumb enough to believe that crap bothered me more than the stories themselves.
