goofy: It is really pretty simple lets see if I can connect the dots for you. *Joe a newbie looses guns to a theft. *Joe finds us (a gun forum) with thousands of members many of which he probably thinks buy and sell guns and go to gun shows. * Joe post a link with great pictures and serial numbers of the stolen guns. * Joe does this in the hope that should one of the several thousand members be offered one these guns for sale who perhaps had read his post and spotted the gun would alert the authorities. Just that simple.

Joe may not of known when he posted about your FBI report of guns being found so close to where they were stolen. Joe probably did not consider your right to free speech to chastise him for not having a safe. Joe probably did not consider that his link would have been considered a spam invasion of the forum. Joe probably did not consider he would be accused of putting the blame off him or as you put again an "inside job". Instead Joe came here to a gun forum to alert us that there are some stolen guns out there that in my view he would have been better off going to a knitting forum with a bunch of old ladies who could second and third guess Joe's situation with ridiculous observations and accusatory comments. One thing is for sure, Joe will probably never come back here for anything and to me that is a disgrace to our forum that you have helped perpetuate with the same dogma of what one would expect from a lying politician to justify his conduct when a simple appology would have worked a whole lot better.

That is how I see it from my "observation" and my right of free speech to express my opinion of that observation.
