Hey! Simmer down! It's not my fault I'm better than you! I mean, like, come on, totally.... Not everyone can parachute out of a biplane while single handedly causing the Zombie apacolpyse to fail! Gimme my twinkie!
lol, I never take anything on the internet too serisouly. It's always good to step back and if you can do your own research!
No problem, it's easy to get caught up in the heat of a discussion.Quote:

Everyone starts somewhere and others hold the passion closer than others. I hate seeing people be belittled at gun shops. Sometimes I go in and see how much crap they try to give until I finally let them know I have a touch of knowledge[Coffee]
At the gun show one dealer informed me spikes tactical was no longer making lower receivers thus validating his $170 price. It felt good to have a phone with internet to later show/tell him otherwise. I understand making a profit but do not lie while trying to do so.
anyways, sorry I got off topic, and I see you point. It seems when people get to know a subject very well they like to show it. Those who do it with dignity and understand everyone starts somewhere are the best received.
I am sure I have come off like a jackass on occasion, usually when someone is blatantly wrong and mostly because it is easy to attack someone on the internet. I have also helped a lot of people on here with info and led them in the right direction and that definitely is much more gratifying than the previous!
Luckily I have met a ton of the guys on here and they are all good people.
Best thing to do is not take anything to heart, especially on the internet[Beer]
That was you ?? Now I'm totally humbled !![Beer]Quote:

HAHA. I'm feeling like a smartbutt today, sorry for derailing at least two threads.
Does this mean I should re-think my "Die in a fire, asshole!" macro?
Sorry mate but it seems if you don't have thick skin and a will to learn, you'll never be able to enjoy yourself in this community (helps keep the libs away too lol).
Much of what I've learned in the past came Crome being put in my place. Very humbling [BooHoo] [Weight]Quote:

I'm reminded of that saying, "An armed society is a polite society". I think most of the folks on this forum are here for the same reasons, looking to learn and associate with some mostly like-minded folks. There are a few that get a little abrasive once in a while, but I think they're very much in the minority. I do think that folks just getting into the shooting sports in any way should be encouraged, although occasionally you do run into a true screwball. I have to say that I really enjoy this forum, and have met some very nice folks here. I suppose I just expect to see a few here and there that are abrasive, and I just make allowance that there will be a few in the mix. Cynical, perhaps, but I think accurate.
