Fischer hasn't posted anything in about two months. Anyone know how he's doing? I know he was having some health issues.
Where is Fischer?
- Thread starter Lt.Dan
- Start date
I’m not sure about his health. One of his last posts did mention health problems. In my opinion he was bullied off this forum by two members, I won’t mention their names, but I hope he is doing ok. I was wanting to hear about that new 54 he purchased.

He does have some health problems and some of his medications cause him to post some incoherent statements. He's a very generous man. He know he has give numerous rifles away, I received two rifles as gifts from him. I think his ranting has caused problems on other forums as well. I haven't noticed him on any other forums either.

Yep I enjoyed his posts even though at times some were hard to follow.
Those two who bullied him were like a pair of dingoes having a go at him one at a time and even congratulating each other on their various comments.

I hope all is okay with him.
I'm not aware who was bullying him in any way. I respect that their names weren't printed but I also think it would be great if someone like Lt.Dan were to point out to them, exactly what he just wrote here.
If the 2 said folks who were in opposition to Fischer's posts, don't understand why they, we all, need to be understanding and take care of our own. If they were to still take something so personally that they would refuse to welcome a person back, then I can't rightfully consider negative people to be an asset to the airgun community but that's just me.
Edit: I'm aware that said 2 folks could be folks I follow & admire for technical posts, etc. but doesn't mean I have to pick sides or write anyone off. The beauty of the community is sharing & caring. If one doesn't see that, I guess they fall into "traffic," as opposed to true "community."
I commend Lt.Dan, Windmill01, KWK, in asking & caring. I myself don't bother posting much anymore, anywhere; but I do read here & the UK "Shooting the breeze" forum. Great technical information & posts.

Medication does not make you post false and absolutely fabricated misinformation as fact or make self serving chest beating posts with no proof to back it up. That's character traits, not medication side effects.
I never bullied Fischer, but I did speak up when the bull started flying. Which was often.
As a forum that exists to hopefully share accurate information, I'd hope you would do the same to me.
@ Lt.Dan you were, and still are, on the GTA where Fischer started and saw the same exact deal go down there.
Y'all can hate me and call me a bully, that's fine by me. But if you need help, I'll still help you. Fischer included. I wish him nothing but the best and hope he is taking free time to enjoy shooting his guns. If his marksmanship claims were true, I sincerely hope he's preparing for the next Olympic 10M games.

+1 sir. While I notice mention of "2" above, I read plenty of his posts and while I freely admit I was one of them, there were more than 2 of us. Did we bully? No. All the comments made were calling the gentleman out on the rants he refused to prove in some way shape or form, the open challenges to any and all members he made on occasion and the open slaps he gave other members. If you consider it bullying to call someone out like that, then there are a lot of bullies on the forums. I've seen plenty of it here and on other forums and not just about him.
While I hope he's managing his medical problems without too many issues and I salute his service (I did myself, US Navy), it shouldn't give him a free pass to rant the way he was. I'd fully expect if I was that way, members would call me out too. Call me a bully, hate me, block me, that's your choice and I'll respect it.

Just like in all of the poor guys posts it looks like you 2 have each other on speed dial or something. We never look to see why someone would leave, until after they are gone.
Not bullying?
"In the muzzleloading world, Traditions builds the cheapest guns and parts available. I'd be extremely surprised to learn that their scopes are any different.
But as with everything else, if Fischer owns it, it's the best there is…."
"The funny part about all of this nonsense about the Diana 54, Fischer, is you now keep pushing the fact that it's recoilless.
Now some time back, you were constantly explaining (in jumbled incoherent rambling) about how you have to hold your own recoiling springers offhand and let the rifle recoil and move about on its own. And frequently touted your abilities with regular recoiling spring guns (albeit with zero proof to back up any claims). And also went as far as to put down people that liked to shoot theirs from a bench, to test the accuracy, even though they were happy to share pics of groups when you would not.
With that said, have you now gone soft?
You've certainly taken a big shortcut to spring gun accuracy by going with a recoilless sled gun. Especially if anyone here believes your outlandish claims of it's accuracy."
"Right?
Claims to spend $1800 on a RWS then tops it with a $70 scope.
Seems backwards to me, but then again……….I better hush now."
"Thumper, excellent observations but you do realize it will just make him ramble again how you need to come to his home, watch him shoot the rifle, let him prove everything to you in person and, like he told me in another thread, once he has you'll end up seeing eye to eye and heart to heart. Not to mention that, while he doesn't believe anything anyone posts here about accuracy claims and such because well, you know all that stuff can be faked, he does fully expect all of us to believe every word he types and take it as absolute gospel…lol."
Plenty more of your trolling posts but I got tired of copying and pasting. I think most get the idea of that was done. I honestly feel sorry for you guys.

Apparently you missed where I said there were more than just 2 people but you seem totally focused on just myself and thumper. Now go back and instead of trying to copy and paste what just the 2 of us said, you should make a list of ALL the member names in those posts that called him out for the things he was saying. Would appear you know where they all are so it should be pretty easy for you to come up with all of them.
Once you have that list, by all means post all those names here for everyone to see and then call every last one of us a troller. Go ahead, I'll wait

Sorry I wasn't including your buddies you brought with you from GTA to continue the harassment that started over there. Like I said - If this is what you do with your life I truly feel sorry for you.

Most of the names calling the gentleman out belong to multiple forums, so your gripe would have to be with members of AGN, GTA and AGN itself at the very least, since they aren't solely members of just GTA. I've seen members called out for all kinds of reasons on every forum I've ever belonged to, yet you appear to think that's some kind of crime.
It's not a crime, trolling, bullying, harassment or whatever else you choose to call it when members of a forum call out a fellow member for the kinds of things he claimed asking for nothing more than some kind of proof to back up those claims and it's what multiple members of at least 3 forums called the gentleman out to do. As far as GTA, he got called out for all the same things over there that he has been here on the Nation.
Just me, but your comments towards me could be considered harassment, but I guess that's ok...lol.
p.s. - While you're taking swipes at GTA and some of it's members, I also noticed that while not active in a couple years, you are still a member over there. Random lame thought would be if you dislike them that much, maybe you should consider pm'ing an admin and deleting your membership since they're so rotten.

Harassment? By all means please look up the definition. Just hide me and any problem you have would be solved. On 2nd thought, I'll just hide you.
And in reference to GTA I tried to have them delete my entire account. They wouldn't, so I started deleting all my posts myself. I was then banned for doing that so that I could not edit any more of my posts. Long story but I called out a BS salesman over that and was told my input was not needed, so I just tried to help them put by removing it all.
How about you message them and ask them to delete me PLEASE. I would like nothing more then to be totally disassociated with that site.

I stand by everything I said to Fischer, or anywhere on this thread.
Was anything I posted untrue? Fact check that and repost that instead.
The GTA is terrible. At least we can agree on that.

I’ve just returned from visiting a mate on his property down in Inglewood and I had taken my LGV with me, great fun. Well things have certainly been busy over the last couple of days on this thread. It appears that two gentlemen have come forward to responses of bullying.
I do not know why another forum was mentioned as I was only referring to in my opinion the bullying that was occurring on this forum but if Fischer was bullied on another forum and it followed him here then that’s really sad.
I believe as Lt.Dan has stated that medication can cause incoherent ramblings and rants as mentioned above just look up the symptoms and causes of delirium and confusion.
I enjoyed Fischer’s posts as I’m sure others did as well. If something was said that seemed to me a bit outlandish then it was taken with a gain of salt.

I don't think Fischer was bullied. All the comments made were calling him out on the rants he refused to prove in some way shape or form, the open challenges to any and all members he made on occasion and the open slaps he gave other members. In my opinion he was asking for it. He was banded from two forums that I know of because of this. He repeatedly make statements about his abilities but never once did I see any proof.
All I was asking was if anyone knew how he was doing, health wise. And yes some medications can make you act and talk differently and say thinks you wouldn't ordinarily say when you're not on them. I have received emails from him that were just as normal as you could expect and then later that same day the rants of a mad man. He spoke to me often of the personality changes his meds caused. He would easily lose his temper on the simplest things. I'm not defending him at all, when he make these wild claims he needed to be called out. I just took them with a grain of salt and ignored those comments.
I have sent him a couple of emails with no response from him but that is not entirely unusual though.

The GTA PGLC (popular girls luncheon club) is alive and well at AGN. They brought their "approved vendors, shooters, and celebrities" list with them. They also brought their air of superiority, know it all attitudes and pack mentality.
You will be assimilated.
