Driving down to NM mid week for class though.

I?m supposed to have a class in Fort Collins this week at CSU. It?s something new they are wanting to do and they are wanting some people experienced in the subject matter to tell them what they think of the course.
I?m kind of known for not pulling any punches so hopefully they do a good job.
I sent a case of Summers Eve to a lawyer once.
Never meant to imply that it was. I have no idea who added the tags and have never really thought about tags before.Quote:

I admit, I was trying to start a fight & rallied a consensus instead.
Not exactly the welcoming reputation of this forum. Bit of a pickle really. Im as surprised as anyone, that someone could actually annoy me to the point of extracting genuine insults. I don't usually do that.

For some of the nicest people on any gun forum it can be a tough crowd for newbies. Still, the poor fellow had clearly been Californicated before he arrived.
Based on past history, seemed like the latest thread was almost a taunt. "Hey, whatever thoughtful responses you folks gave based on your life experiences? Screw that, I'm going my own way, and I'm going to not keep it to myself."
I don't think you rallied "a consensus" at all. Reviewing it, quite a few people posted inferring that it was out of line, but didn't want to be too verbose for fear of getting shit on too. I didn't see the thread until much later. Rest assured, I would have called you out. When a site permits people to shit on new users/dumb questions/differing opinions/etc., it quickly becomes untenable and toxic.
Sometimes I have found find myself arguing other positions just to remind people this isn't a church, with official doctrine and a holy book. Try to push away anything that is different, and you might as well be a dying "church" of the same aging dozen friends, singing the same repetitive incantations with every post, and pushing away everyone that isn't in the good-ol-boy clique until the doors are boarded shut. Some people might want that, I suppose... plenty of firearm sites turn into that.
OxArt, few of us are afforded the courtesy to ignore each & all of the annoying members.
Im sure I've managed to make it on more than one person's ignore list. How about you?
There's a massive difference between arguing with an old classmate from the 2nd grade, and dog piling and kicking the shit out of a the new kid that just moved in from out of state. The latter transfers schools.Quote:

Why that pisses anybody off is beyond me. It's not a two sided ethics argument (e.g. declawing cats). Nor is it legal to import hi-caps into Colorado.
OxArt, I don't much care for many of your posts either, so this may put me in an untenable position. However, I'm stubborn so ill bite...
I made no qualitative comment to his actions -regarding his decision to do what he wants -with his magazines or to be lawful. Don't lead the discussion to suggest that I did otherwise.
I did make specific comment to what I thought of his selective hearing & his overall intentions in that particular thread because of his posting history on the site.
I then compared his behavior to a recently banned bot, AwetGoat whose posts were equally insolent save sentient intent, hence the added 'with a pulse' to convey my full meaning.
That is not a dogpile.
I didn't get the wet goat part. Thanks for the explanation.

PS:
I've seen his original threads and nowhere did I see any "one" advice rising to the surface nor did I see him ignoring any consensus in part because there was none. It seems to me you were primarily bothered because he wasn't engaging in your troll-y attempt. Also I don't give a flying fuck if you like me or "my posts" or not. I don't appreciate people who can't handle differing opinions.
I did, was pressed for time or I would have left comment. There were several posts that violate site regs and make the group look bad.Quote:

I do think we tend to dog pile on the new guys when it seems they may be deserving of it.
Way to own up. Don?t you have someone else you could blame?Quote:

Seems I missed the fun, but still enjoy the crowd as usual.

There were a couple of items being addressed in that thread. Magazine legality was one, and most of the people discussing this here were not addressing the magazines. The other was the announcement of moving to Colorado. Based on previous threads, I think that?s what most of us were addressing.
Thanks CN. [Awesom]
As far as "addressing" moving to CO:
The guy announced his move in the earlier thread on the topic. Sure, some people said "stay in Idaho". Others said "Finish School". Others said "Start a trade". Others said "talk to your wife". Others said "If you don't move to CO, your wife will without you anyway".... (some might have even inferred find a new wife, I'm not 100% sure on that)
...So why does someone's personal decision between him and his wife warrant "addressing". It's not like there's a consensus of it being a bad idea, nor is it any of our business what his family decides (even if he asked for advice). FTR, 90% of the time people ask for advice in our respective lives, they won't take it. Hell 90% of the time people ask an attorney for legal advice they don't take it. And yes, I made up both of those statistics. But you all know what I mean and have seen it - people will usually do whatever they're going to do anyway.
It's not justification to be asses, ya know.
Hi Otter Bat Hell Cat :)
At any rate, back to the business of whoring. About 50 standard pages to the magic 10,000. Whoever gets there first gets this blow job...

You seem pretty OK to me, too, OxArt.
I appreciate your opinions on things.
