So far from what I've seen going on here... This is pretty tame compared to the drama on some car forums or what my kids do on COD. The cyber beating they dish out to other players would leave most curled up in the fetal position sucking their thumb.

Judging by the sensitivity level of some new people here, they're probably better off on a video game forum.

Maybe do a better job of giving them tough skin than their parents did.

That's the biggest problem with people nowadays.

They're so pussified. They live in a fantasy world where everyone is equal. There's no winners and no losers and nobody can argue or disagree.

Lose money. 

Looooose $$$ haha

Did u say wacko? Uh oh

Pussified!!!!

LOL

I agree, but calling us wackos is offensive!!

Sometimes 2 people or a bunch can never agree on anything.......Ever been with a bunch of women who cant decide where to eat?

Psch. Ever see a bunch of women try to split a dinner check?

LOL, man I don't want to be in that position! After you hear them arguing about the check all night, after there done bitchin! they'll expect you to pay for the check!

Give all examples.

Some how, some way, make a public range on the westside...  I can dream can't I? 

get out to the range and shoot or dry fire at home, it will produce far more tangible results than bragging online about your invisible ninja gun handling skills or your sitting-in-the-closet-1-MOA-all-day-gun
What happened to all those skilled shooters talking about their skills and equipment when Dirsh posted the MOA all day challenge?

I would say;

Don't be so thin skinned.

If it gets too heavy, just move on.

This is just the internet, if you cannot deal with it here, how are you doing in the real world?

I'm planning to participate, but my rifles need to be zeroed first.  Once all the bugs are worked out, I'll see how we do with iron sights.  Then we'll add the scopes and repeat the process.

Went with my daughter last Sunday and shot a new Arsenal SGL26-61 AK-47.  Also fired our "project" AR-15 with a new Troy VTAC Alpha handrail and Troy front folding battle sight.  Removed the A2 tower sight replacing it with a low profile gas block, removed the short A2 hand guard by removing the barrel, and properly torqued the barrel nut when reassembling.

Next, I have two 10/22s that I replaced the front sights on and added scope rails and peephole rear sights.  Those haven't been zeroed.  I also have pistols we're practicing with and modifying.

With limited time, we need to set priorities.  We plan to get there, just not happening immediately...

================
I agree with this.
Also, I think the quality of this forum would improve if it were required to have at least 3 references from existing members in order to participate.
I'm not sure how that could be accomplished though. 
The idea would be that there would be much less chaff on the boards if other people actually know who you are.

By invite only? Hmmm maybe. What about a probation period for non invitees.

i think we should leave it open to newbies.
I'm a relative newbie myself.
but i just think 2A community shouldn't close the doors to anyone.
its good to welcome newbies.
everyone was a newbie once.

So, you're recommending the online equivalent  of a background check to permit anyone, no matter who, to join the discussions?

Just seeing if I read that correctly.

I disagree.
I agree with Stangzilla and think we should leave it open to newbies for the reasons Stangzilla stated.

Now isn't that less antagonistic ?

Am I a whiner, Hell No ! 
But I do believe in courtesy.
Unless it's funny or witty. Then I get a chuckle.

14 day waiting period ?

14 day waiting period ?

 

No
