Whats Up With The New Guys?

I have to say that I've been pretty impressed with the people I've met on this board...even the young ones.

hmmm.... I'm not doing a good enough job then....

All of my dealings with people on this sight have been very positive both with those much younger than me and those of ahhh shall we say a similiar age. Dont want to age myself too much.

This is a remarkably civil site. I'm quite happy to be banned from ARF.com. I mostly lurk on some other sites. There are some serious hatreds and feuds on a lot of gunboards and I won't play those games.

At 24, I believe in common courtesy, owning up to one's word, following through, holding doors open, etc. I see a lot of that stuff absent with people older than me even. I think it's just a lot of selfishness with people, people aren't "neighborly" anymore.

I don't answer PM's because it's too much trouble to do so.

Which is WHY I have my email address posted in my profile - what I dont understand is why there are so many people who don't want email contact via the website!

I can get my email on my phone and answer it, I DO get a notification email from ar15co, but I have to log into the website to answer it - pain in the ass.

So my posts always list my email, and my profile is email enabled and i say to contact me via email. Once a guy PM'd me about something for sale, and I went to look at my post - and is said "email contact please" (sic) and he PM'd me like six times in one day. I was at work and unable to answer...


ended up getting a "you are an a##hole" pm from him by the end of the day.

So PM'ing has never worked well for me, but I do try to answer them when I get near a PC.

I'm new but I've been lurking for about a year and a half now. Don't post very often at all hahaha

"I do not want you having my Email address as the sender maybe."

People have many reasons for their wanting anonymity.

I hate new people and young people.

Even when your face to face most of them are too busy with their electronics to give you the courtesy of their attention. Damn I'm getting old

Us old farts have a way of dealing with that. I have had many a young clerk talking or playing with there phone when I come to the register.

I just wait. They ring it up and put out their hand all the while talking on there phone. I had one once stop talking long enough to go "WHAT?" I replied that I was taught not to talk when someone was talking and I am just waiting for you to finish your call. Was he ever pissed off. Now if I come into the store that clerk always puts down the phone before I get to the counter.

I've never had a clerk be on the phone while I was a customer. That is unreal!
