Great picnic, great food, and great people. Thank you guys for all the hard work. My wife, my son, my friends and myself really enjoyed it. Good to see there are some solid pro-gun candidates out there. At least now they're on record as being pro-gun.

Good spot, good shelter, good food - next year we'll need even more space.

We had two more shelters ready for more people. We had the sound system transmitting 105.1 FM for anyone who brought a radio. What more do you suggest we do, to prepare for more people?

You make the incorrect assumption that I know the things you pointed out about the radio transmitting (?!), and availability of more shelters. Simply saying "We had two more shelters available for overflow" would have communicated all that was necessary to communicate.

I don't think Jacques was being rude, just asking for suggestions. IMHO

I am not trying to be rude. I am just amused, that since you attended, you some how thought that the three shelters, FM broadcasted sound, the shaded area behind the shelters, and the large grassy area in front of the area were not enough. When Gerard, Ken and I laid this out over a year ago, we liked the park because it provided enough room for planned and unplanned attendence, plus room to grow. We Upgraded the sound system from last year, ( we didn't even use all of the features that I had thought we would.) Plus our VP Bryan T. set up the radio broadcast, and routed the sound into Brians H.'s laptop ( with help from Jeff,) to record the audio.BB62 wrote:There's no reason for rudeness, Jacques.JJones wrote:LOL!!!!!BB62 wrote:Thanks OFCC for the Picnic!

IF anyone has a suggestion on how we can improve the picnic, as always we want to hear about it.

Your approach is likely to draw LOTS of suggestions, Jacques.JJones wrote:I am not trying to be rude.

When I am trying to do the same, I find it especially effective to acknowledge my lack of intent to be rude, then follow it by disparaging statements about another's lack of perception ("you some how thought..."), or agreement with my view of the world.
I know for a fact that people feel more than welcome to comment or contribute their 2 cents when I take that approach.
You are no doubt correct - people who came for the first time and didn't realize that the other shelters were OFCC's for the day, or who didn't bring a chair to sit in the woods, or a radio to listen in are just clueless!

Saying "LOL!!!!...We had two more shelters ready for more people. We had the sound system transmitting 105.1 FM for anyone who brought a radio. What more do you suggest we do, to prepare for more people?" is clearly simply asking for input, not commenting off-handedly on one's presumed lack of perception.
One would have to go beyond the call of duty to say something like "BB62, I'm not sure I understand where you are coming from. We had x shelters, the woods, and a radio broadcast to deal with a larger crowd. Could you clarify what you meant?"

I think that we are all members of OFCC for one common goal..., that being to preserve and improve our right to CCW. I feel it is less than amusing if members are being condescending to each other. It is vitally important that we ALL put our best face forward, as to not give the anti's any ammunition (catch the pun)! Of course with this many people involved, there are always going to varying opinions on anything and everything, but just be respectful to each other.
And for those who like to slam someone because they spelled a word wrong....,cut it out. That's just plain rude!
That's my opinion...,and I'm stickin' to it!

Everyone has varying degrees of expertise with the language. Most of the posters on here are quite literate. I generally attribute most mispellings to typos. I try to type way too fast and I make errors. I'd hate for someone to think I was illiterate because of that!Linda wrote:I think that we are all members of OFCC for one common goal..., that being to preserve and improve our right to CCW.
