Driving down to NM mid week for class though.
Very excited to learn from Brian.
Hopefully I'm a good student for him.

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?
