I said off center for one day, not every day. I have ever reason to believe he will be back making quality posts again. I should add, you and at least one other poster probably sensed what was really going on, and did a good job trying to control the damage. Nice work Dawg, you get a Scooby Treat.
I'd rather pound my head against the wall until I was bleeding profusely. Arguing that stuff is not fun. It can be, and sometimes I like to poke the bear, but some people make me go absolutely crazy in there. I'm not even a republican, but the liberal minded posters have a cow whenever I say anything. It makes it so you dont even want to say shit. Cause I would rather do something more positive than getting into a pissing match over something small. Its like..... you say something small, and are completely agreeing with most, and someone comes in and accuses you of being an asshole and intending something different. I dont call that fun.
I do....quality vs quantity...I do give a lot of rope before using it though....has nothing to do with tunnel vision, has to do with eliminating unnecessary contention or repetition in my view. If things are said in humor, I'm there, if not...I can choose to purge it from my life....choices....always a good thing.
Been tempted a few times to put someone on ignore. There are few posters that I probably semi-ignore. It is easy to tell from the first sentence where their going, and I often do not read the rest of their message.
You used a term that is insulting to posters on the forum. If I called a ref a stupid cracker that doesn't belong on a basketball court, would that be appropriate?
I hope this wasn't me. I always try and write quality posts, and I try not to just enter a debate just to insult someone. The insults usually come when I get emotional while writing a response about a heated topic. It's not something I'm proud of, but I do make an effort to try and go back later on, once I've taken a breath, and apologize. There are only two people on this forum who I REALLY don't like...without naming them. Pretty sure they know who they are though. I have zero respect for them. Absolutely none. But I can safely say I have nobody on my ignore list. I've thought about it only briefly before, but nobody is on mine currently. I think I might be addicted to arguing. Perhaps it's the way I grew up; my mother and I had loud, screaming fights on a daily basis, all the way up until the day I moved out. The first forum I ever signed up with was the long-gone website "ConsumptionJunction.com". Way back in the early 2000s, which I had access to when I got my very own internet (started with dial-up and went to cable). That forum was a million times more savage than anything on here, and was by far the most savage I've ever been a part of. Nudity, sex, violence, beheadings/violent videos, swearing, open insults, threats......that fucking place was an absolute mad house. That's what I cut my teeth on. And it's still in my internet blood, lol. Even if you don't agree with my stance, I hope you at least respect the effort I make to explain my positions. Lord knows the posts are long enough, lol. And if I never wanted to argue with anyone, I'd fuck off back to GlockTalk, where I've been a member of for almost 13 years. If I wanted a like-minded group of people to agree with me about something all the time, I'd go there. But eventually, that gets pretty damn boring. So....even if you don't agree with my views, I hope that I at least have your respect.
Bro, I love ya. You've been nothing but kind and respectful since the day I got here. I have absolutely zero beef with you, and you've never given me a reason to feel otherwise.
No, not you, not even close. We do disagree on the effectiveness of one rifle caliber bullet. But we had a good friendly debate about it, which I enjoyed. I understand where you are coming from. My impression is you have professional sniper training, which puts your results of that round above 99.999% of us casual shooters and the average person wanting a home protection round. The rifle round you like would not be my first choice for home protection; just my opinion, but I would not hesitate to use it if it was my only choice. Your opinion based on training and experience of that round is also valid. You’re like a doctor using a surgical scalpel, and trained to use it. I need a big carving knife to cut up my turkeys.
