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

[IDFYF8]

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...

What can I say, Can't get everything..

I have seen a few, but you just have to ignore it. I agree that crap shouldnt happen though. The "gun god" complex is a cancer. At least the mods here try to squash it instead of incourage it.

So IDFYF8, why does that 'non-issue' deserves a whole new thread? Probably the same reason why such non issue became an issue. Paradox....

I agree with you, OP.

Seems like some members are getting strung out over all these non-issues, and take it out on people who literally do not know any better, as they joined and are being verbally assaulted over their first post...

Everybody needs to stand back, take a breathe and pop a chill pill...

you are probably referring to me on that one.

maybe because the guy is a scammer...

I am impressed by your grammar though!

Hey, we need to be nice to scammers. Just like criminals and illegal immigrants.
