Nice community here, but noticing some changes on the wind.

Back to the topic.
As a newbie I was guilty of dragging up an old for sale ad and asking if it was still for sale. I got razed, but in my defense, the ad was never posted as sold withdrawn or otherwise identified as no longer available.
But in the mentioned post from a newbie the offender that jumped down his throat and recommended a 50 post minimum before being allowed into the for sale threads only had 75 posts himself.
So maybe we should make a minimum of 100+ posts. How do you feel about that ?

Off Topic-
I for one nominate "SideShowBob" be declared "Retired" and "TrunkMonkey" used instead.

On topic-
I know I dont have good table manners. I have long been known for candor and lack of tact. I have a harsh and sarcastic sense of humor. I have worked in too many industries too long where colorful adjectives and such are the same as breathing. I have always been one of the "If you dont like it, GTFO" folks.
But here online it is easy to forget that those we communicate with don't live in the same off-line world as we do, come from the same backgrounds or have the same experiences we do.
If I may be a bit less than PC and if it offends you I offer two things:
1- Sorry if it offends you.
2- Get over it, this is a firearms forum and not "Mom's Like Me" or such. Most firearms afficianados are not the warmest and fuzziest people, rather they are no BS and to the point.
I think we can all agree if a new member comes in, pays attention and ask's honest questions they will get honest answers and treated well.
But if somebody comes in here peeing on post's, being a knucklehead in the Trading Post etc you reap what you sow.......

My current supervisor had a good way of putting it after noticing a bit too much candor in the entire crew. He reminded us of when you are training a horse that sometimes spurs are used as a gentle "reminder" for the horse to behave as he wanted. He held up a spur. He said he didnt want to resort to using Texas rowells with us.

Well put and when somebody is a bit too candid he just says: Spurs....
A good reminder.

I have a spur sitting on my speaker at work..................
