Old bomb squads

[Herf N Turf]

All I meant in my response above was that bombing groups, in and of themselves, are not a negative thing, and don't intrinsically fly in the face of the spirit of giving. In fact, one of the best things about a group bomb it that it often leaves the recipient so buried in appreciation, he had no choice but to forget about retaliation and simply enjoy be appreciated.

Thanks Derek, sums it up pretty good.

When the XXXX came into being it wasn't about what it turned into at all.

Benn, please, I asked we not discuss this element. It can serve no purpose, but to perpetuate ire.

I do, however, completely agree that at least initially, the "groups cum gangs" was a righteous endeavor. What I think will remain in dispute is at what point it began heading in the wrong direction. Either way, if you analyze the end game, it wasn't worth it.

.....ah the good old days....Zilla Killas!! That was great fun. Unfortunately a couple people ruined the fun for everyone....oh well.

LOB and Squids were fun guys to trade shots with.

Sorry those weren't the good ole days..it was the beginning of the end.

The groups and gang bombing is why I stopped bombing...the idea of what a bomb is and how it was done was lost.

I don't have any issue with groups getting together and bombing but the idea behind it needs to be for the receiver and not what was sent or who sent it..

I agree. I have several people who deserve bombs. Some north some south, but I will start in the south and work my way around I remeber my first bomb I received. It was quite a nice gesture and I left it at that. I never have looked at bombs any other way other than someone was very generous.

But no one is safe on here as everyone has been generous.

The original intent wasn't what it turned into. What it turned into I agree wasn't cool at all.

So far it all seems to be in good fun and making sure some BotLs have some good smokes to try out

@Herf N Turf , I hope I have not started one of those. I began with the idea of a jocular poke at the War of Northern Aggression. If an apology is in order, consider it extended

I personally feel like you did nothing wrong. You had no idea this would escalate like it did. Having said that I also think this North vs South has morphed into a separate entity such as a MAW or PIF type of thing. There are those that will join in and bomb the opposite fraction and then they will be those that don't. If we treat this as "game" and not all bombing that we do everything will be ok. Like I stated earlier I will continue to bomb random unsuspecting victims that I see fit that has nothing to do with North or South but just RAK's in the purest form. This North vs South is just a fun little game we are having. Like @Horseshoe said there are so many generous members on this forums and we have been bombing like crazy but I don't feel as if anyone has lost site of what a bomb means. Lets just keep having fun and keep this forums going with love and respect!

I am in the same boat, and will second an apology if warranted. A bomb for me will always be a way of showing respect and admiration for a member on here, whether it's under the guise of a North/South bomb or not. For me, it's not economical to bomb all willy nilly, so a bomb will always carry meaning.

Having said that, living where I do, very few people aren't North (30th parallel) of me so my bombs will almost always be directed northward
