Actually I disagree about it being a big loss. Don't get me wrong I like Mr 16 Gauge, BUT if any member cannot have a civil discussion with another member or moderator and can't just agree to disagree then there is IMHO no place for them on a family board with alot of good people on it.
He effectively got bent out of shape because he shoots a traditional blackpowder rifle and a moderator suggested that an inline was an improvement over a traditional rifle (which it is) Instead of pointing out that traditional rifles still have a place in the world, or pointing out that traditional rifles are still fine hunting weapons (which they are) He threw what equates to a three year old's tantrum, took his ball, and went home.
Would I like to have him back? If he can mature a bit then yes, he always had some very interesting views and I enjoyed our conversations, but I was stunned at the way he stomped off.
My 2 Cents.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
