[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2892366, member: 423"] So S4F is offensive. Why be offended by it? I ask that seriously. As a young-earth creationist Christian, I have had my intelligence questioned, my beliefs questioned, but I don't let it offend me. My world view and beliefs are not based on the "Word of OSA". So tbnl, you're Native American. Good for you. Seriously. Treasure the heritage, your culture. But if you get offended by every internet forum that belittles minorities (whether real or perceived), you will live a very bitter, offended, life. If you don't like it, leave. And I mean the internet, not just OSA. I understand some people here aren't nice to newbies. Screw those people. Let the mods know. We've all been new to something before. But we're pretty tame here compared to some sites. As far as lack of community, the economy has hurt us here. Guns are in large part a hobby. Sure, not the gun we carry or put by our bedside, but the buying/selling and shooting miscellaneous guns has slowed. The listings now people are trying to make their money back, or a little extra. We used to pass around good deals on the forum. I don't have the budget to lose money trying new guns/ammo out anymore, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So many of us, instead of buying and using gun stuff, are reduced to chit-chatting about it on the forum. And since gun people are mostly alpha types, sooner or later I'm right, you're wrong and if you can't admit that then we's done got us a problem. [/QUOTE]
