I didn't state he was compensated.
He does openly represent KAC, while also serving as a moderator. I'm not a rocket scientist....
I'll move on, I apologize for intruding on your venue, Have a nice day.

Questioning Jack's credibility is a step too far. Your other shenanigans are already wearing thin, but that passive aggressive statement is a bad joke. Yeah, some people do moderate this forum out of the goodness of their heart, because they like the community and want to see it thrive. Jack has all that KAC stuff in his signature for the opposite reason of what you think: to be completely transparent for the sake of the community and so as to avoid any conflicts of interest or weird ethical quandries.
And before you get into some semantics pissing match, yes, implying that Jack's moderation is somehow subtly done for the real reason of benefiting KAC or his bottom line is Bush League, USDA Grade-A garbage, and is definitely a credibility attack. The moderators here do a damn fine job and quite frankly, Jack's responses here were reasonable as hell. They warranted nothing of what you said.
What a sad, shameful pile of crap.
Anyway, I think Jack's statement is good policy. Random one-offs from gun shows or friends or deployments aren't a big deal. Moving inventory is. That about sums it up.
"Gosh" and Ive'e been upset about the millions of dollars given to the New-Iraq Army in the form of equipment, that has found it's way into the black market over there. The Marine base that after being vacated and turned over to the Iraqis was looted by them. "But we are concerned over some possibly stolen sights". Come on guy's lets give ourselves a break.
Concerning the pressing issue, I think we all agree that the real culprits would be the guy selling these sights in mass on the web, not the vet that brought one back to put on his favorite AR, or the guy like me that bought one not knowing anything about this issue. I urge everybody to keep all this in perspective...
.... wow, how did I question anyone's credibility? He is a representative of KAC. He is a moderator. Surely, there is pleasure.... it is also smart business. I'm sure Jack would tell you the same thing. The thread is dealing with movement of stolen USGI or faked KAC sights. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to acknowledge that he has a vested interest regarding the issue. That is common sense, I'm not the one who is butt hurt over it.... For f's sake, as I stated at least twice before, I respect that. I did not suggest that he was dishonest,.
I think it is an interesting topic... that line between durable and expendable items. Yes, there are regs., and then there is what tangibly occurs. Maybe it might be a little more interesting than the same tired Internet thread, where people freak out and suggest anyone with a USMC sight is stealing from Uncle Sam and somwhow a soldier somewhere is deprived as a result. Seriously, Google search KAC USMC, and you will find the same tired thread beaten to death dozens of times over.
But that is construed as "shenanigans," with a passive aggressive motive, perpetrated by a keyboard commando. Gotta' love the Internet.
Good god, this thread's turned to shit.
Seadonkey, seriously, stop being obtuse and stop posting, or continue to do so so as many people as possible can see you for what you really are.
