      LandoCal126 is a capstone of this forum & with out his input in my humble opinion this forum wouldn't have grown into it's current state.  The guy gave a lot of his time and energy to make this place grow into what it is & to be real is the guy behind a lot of great ideas (forum tee design & the forum tee in general for one).  I will never take anything away from him, with that said, as friends we have a difference of opinion that unfortunately spilled into this forum. Friends disagree & where I'm from fight and do all kinds of sh!t to each other all the time.  I respect dudes and treat them like grown men, but it comes a time where if you a friend and you don't agree with certain stuff you either be a yes guy and co-sign stuff you don't agree with or you say you don't agree with it to the person. At least that's the way i conduct myself.

      Now as far as blacklist, this makes me chuckle cause I really don't have the time to put anyone in any kind of category. I deal with all kinds of people on a daily basis and have come to understand how to navigate certain waters. Sh!t, it's not in my best interest to write any one off as it's a small world & karma is a mean b!tch.  More importantly it takes way too much of my energy to harbor any sort of ill will to anyone.  I'm a selfish bastard & don't have the mental energy to not like someone cause in my eyes they act like a crab. Everyone is what ever they are for a reason & who the hell am I to say it's wrong or right. I got expensive habits to tend to & a wonderful lifestyle to maintain for my family.

      This forum is a cross section of all kinds of people who tend to all have an incredible appetite for the best of life and what it offers. It's why this place is such a success to a degree. . . I could go into a bunch of other stuff but i want to end on a positive note cause it's really how I live my life.  It's not an internet persona, I ain't got no time for that.

      still mad

              it's real funny how people you do not know you tend to know better than some people you may live right across the hall from.  Sh!t cray.

              as far as unpopular opinions i've sh!t this thread up more than enough, but never been able to whisper about stuff going on. time to get back to this mess of a thread mega has made & i do apologize for pointing at the elephant in the room . . .

                no weirdness on my end, he a good dude & i can't think of a time i sent him a message & he didn't do a good thing.  well there was one time, but you know, hahahahahahaha

                nah all good & i hate the way he left the forum cause folks just coming on didn't really get to see his vision on some things. one of the reasons when they were talking about cleaning up posts i didn't & still don't like it. it is taking away his handprint, but you know it ain't my house & i could see how it doesn't make sense to have a blank picture & text talking about an item .  . . .

                i know he has a lot of love for folks despite it all, but some times you know . . .

                      ok…here is my unpopular opinion of the day.  It might not be unpopular in the rest of the world but I know it's unpopular here.....

                      I like the vibram christy sole.  A lot.  There I said it.

                        I like it too. I dont own any boots but my favorites would probably be the tan version Alden's in the SE collab, complete with christy sole.

                          Haha I expressed my distaste for it as an unpopular opinion previously 🙂

                              No question RBG. That's the genesis of that style of sole, working boots for people who are on their feet all day.

                                I think I may prefer zipper flys. Pissing is so much easier.

                                  What are you doing with buttons? Either that or you've got some very serious tackle 😉

                                    Buttons require for me at least undoing my belt. Zipper doesn't. Zipping up is slightly faster than buttoning up too.

                                        Agreed. Although I've never forgotten to do up a button fly. The same cannot be said about zipper flies…

                                          I dig zips, although there is the fear of having sharp metal teeth so close to your gentleman's area.
