[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 484149, member: 10832"] I have to disagree. It is the fact that his knowledgeable opinion is in direct opposition to yours that causes you to feel the way you do, not the supposed fact that he is pompous. Have you spoken with him personally or are you just inferring these "pretentious and pompous" traits upon him based on the assumed tone you have given his written dialog? Again, I have a hard time believing that anyone reading his info with an open mind for learning is going to see it as you do. Guys with his level of experience should be sharing their findings boldly and not wash it down with a lot of "I believe" and "some times" and "maybe your right". The key is not getting bent out of shape if you disagree. State your points, be willing to look at both sides with a desire to learn the truth or at least a different perspective, be willing to change your opinion if needed, and then move on without name calling. It only makes you look bad when in fact you offer valuable input here. At some point it may be beneficial to realize they aren't attacking your cyber personage but are in fact stating their opinions which are in opposition to yours. With all due respect Lapua Guy, you are involved in many of the major scuffles and disagreements on this sight. From Jon A's very knowledgeable opinions on optics to one of the top gunsmiths and long range guys on this forum. You sure know how to pick 'em! Every time it is the same. They disagree with you so they are jerks. Of course you can have your opinion and have every right to share it. But at the end of the day you may want to think about the slim possibility that you have things to learn here too, just like everyone else, and that you could be wrong. Not purposefully wrong of course but we each can only have so much experience given a certain topic, ie optics, ballistics, gunsmithing, bullet performance, etc. Learning from all of the specific expertise here is the reason why this site is so valuable. The learning curve can be greatly shortened if you choose to learn from the experiences of others and not use this site solely to show how hard our chests can be pounded. Picking fights with some of the most knowledgeable guys here and calling them names because they disagree with you isn't helping the flow of information and certainly isn't helping you and others become a better LRH, which is the whole idea here.
