It's the internet. There's going to be crappy people with invisible immunity. However, being new here but not spending a lot of time yet I've yet to see anything that sticks out. In fact, I'd say this place is pretty nice so far. In my past gun forum experience there have been plenty of horrific (I'm not kidding...horrific) people to encounter. I don't know if they're disgruntled out of work people sitting at home without an ounce of online superego and nothing better to do than to make others miserable? It was a west coast gun forum, so C'est la Vie. Some of these people have had thousands of posts that do nothing but destroy. That said: Let's keep this place civil. While some may claim being exclusive to the thin skinned is good (is it??), I would argue it might be wise to take note of outsider's points of view as to etiquette just to keep ourselves in check and on the right path.

Interesting.....

When I got into the ClassIII/NFA game I dang sure didn't start with the internet. I asked, asked, and asked.....did I mention I asked........a lot of guys the "Five-W's" and the "One-H".

I was young, dumb and ..you know the rest, but I sought my answers from REAL people with REAL answers. I wanted to know about ClassIII/NFA, DD, AOW, and SOT so much that I bought lunch for a few guys and bought something from store owners who dealt in NFA stuff(usually a box of bullets).........to show my appreciation and for their time.

THEN, I went to SubGuns, Uzi-Talk, usmachinegun.com, David Spiwak, Practical Solutions, Nick at westernfirearms.com, my buddy Sean at nfatrust.com., my buddy Keith at nfainvestments.......the list goes on and on. How did I find out about these (internet guys) sites.........99.9% were from word of mouth, real-live. people who knew the real from B.S.


Sorry your customer felt slighted, you gotta wade through the internet like wading through a muddy creek. When you get across, you've reached your goal and you had to go through some mucky situations.

Been there, done that..........to me that's life.

The customer needs to move on out of the pull ups to men's underwear. There is nothing in that thread to wad up his undies at all. LOL! Sure some of the SBR owners are up in arms about it, but to not jump in this forum and participate and to boldly paint a very "Large Brush Stroke" against this place and its members is simply ludicrous! He is not needed here. The vast majority of people here are good folk, I have meet over 50 of them personally face to face and everyone of them were good guys and one gal!

This forum can get kinda crude at times but nothing that isn't tolerable.
Heck I got singed a couple times by veggie meat. No big deal really.
I have been on sites where you guys would be considered women parts tied to a tree called willow.

Frankly most of us will never meet face to face so............

I like this site, it's local and it's Germaine .

It is harder to convey a thought when typing vs. saying it directly.

Maybe there are instances in threads where posts are typed, but read differently than intended?

I agree with most of the other people in this thread. There was nothing offiensive in that thread. If he was offended by that, he should probably just stay off the internet.

Frequently, I suggest this site to customers who are seeking information. Today one responded "I just visited that forum this morning and I really don't think that I need more assholes in my life". When I asked what he meant, this is the thread he referenced. It's always nice to see forum members talking down to and belittling others in tech forums.

Wonder if he meant this thread instead?

It could be worse on here for sure. Know for a fact that I have left many openings to be blasted but pretty much most comments are non committal or advising me.
Eh, it's the internet.
