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

[alxone]

I'm pretty new to this forum, but have enjoyed being a member since day one. I've met numerous good people and have made several new friends. People have given me advice, helped me work out some problems, and sold me some nice guns.

Lately, I've noticed a handful of new and not so new members spewing off at the mouth, attacking other members, and basically just being internet bullies. I'm trying to sound like a puss, but that crap gets old and it brings the quality of the forum and discussion down.

A good example is an old thread that was pulled up by a single post newby in the accessories section of the trading post area.

Was it a bit irritating? Yeah. But did he seriously deserve the trash talk that ensued?

We have enough hate in our day-to-day. I come here to meet good people and get away from the rat race outside.

Just saying...

I wouldn't let it bother you as the internet bully types are only bullies online . Not one person who was tried to push me around or be rude towards me on line , has ever had the balls to try that crap in person . Hell i have found people in the internet shooting world run there mouth more than most but at the same time , with out that gun they don't have what it takes to stand up a take a punch to the face . Why they are such big men with there gun or on line ??? Who knows ?? I do know where i come from being a bully will get you hurt and fast !!! There is always a bigger dog in the junkyard ( know what i mean).All i know is that If you just do your best to be respectful then you should have no problems .
As far as ar-15 goes well ... as a new person here all I can say is its a great place for buying / trading / selling and yes in the chat topics there are some clickish folks but all in all this is pretty dam good site.

Clickish - not a word
Cliquish - associating exclusively with the members of one's own clique/clan.

Dam - a water barrier
Damn - a curse word to bring condemation upon



And no one has told me to cut it out yet... Guess I'm not being bullish enough... haha. Ok, I'll stop.




I know, I know. I'm not perfect either.

I second what Marlin said. There's a great group of folks here. Mostly guys. You're gonna get some (OK, maybe more than some) locker room humor. We tend to give each other a hard time occasionally, but almost all the time it's in fun. I've really enjoyed meeting the members here that I have in person, and I enjoy my visits to the forum. I believe the old saying about birds of a feather, and this forum is proof of that. Sure, once in a while you get a screwball but that's par for the course. Oh, and then there's Ginsue....

Yes, we Bawlmer guys know all about english as a second language.

The good ole days of Mayor Clarence "Du" Burns and the City that Breads!

The only item that just sends me over the top is the lack of distinction on a "clip" vs a magazine. I don't comment when they are used incorrectly, but it does make me wonder about the person using the terms.
