[QUOTE="Repubiman, post: 2348511, member: 971"] Wow! Gonna add my worthless dribble here too. From original poster I thought he was dressed down but after reading the original post, that was harmless in my eyes. Some people though just take things wrong as they see things thru a different set of lenses than you or I. No problem, if you have been offended maybe just pm that person and make sure you haven't understood wrong. Communication through a keyboard and screen isn't really communication in as much as you have absolutely no idea of intent and or mind frame. Anyone can [B][I]buy[/I][/B] but seller has the right to refuse anyone for any reason also. Maybe we all need to be a little more clear when we would decide that and we answer back to a potential buyer with zero of few posts. If you ran an ad in the newspaper want ads, you would have had no previous contact with any potential buyer and I have sold things to complete strangers that way but not a firearm. However, when you are selling a firearm that could potentiallyb be used by a nutcase to harm others, and then get caught up in a plethora of hurt, then it becomes a different matter.This site is used by a lot of members as a screening tool of sorts just to get a feel and frame of mind about the person they are possible getting ready to sell to. Nothing wrong with that either. If I have read a lot of posts by wormydog, even if I have had no direct communication with him personally, I might feel that I somewhat have a handle on his character and have seen that he's been around long enough to trust selling my firearm to him, whether I really do know him or not. So both seller and buyer need to express themselves clearly to one another in a concise pleasant matter. Well pleasant if that's part of your m/o. If not, for me just concise will work. [/QUOTE]
