I couldn't help but notice that locotrician is a silver member with 180 posts. He has obviously contributed to the forum in many ways. Let me emphasize at the start of my remarks that I don't know locotrician and believe I have only had one interaction with him on LRH.
I have not read his original post about pt&g, but I would hope that our member responses would take into consideration the fact the he was probably just venting - as we all do from time to time. If we allow ourselves to respond in like fashion, then I submit that we are guilty of the same conduct we found so reprehensible in his original post. There are ways to "set things right" without personal attacks and name calling. I see this all the time on other boards. I would hate to see it begin here.
While I am sure that Dave Kiff and PT&G appreciate our defense of them, it probably isn't necessary. Anyone who does research on either of them will generally find that both enjoy sterling reputations. I just got my first reamer from them (.243 Tactical Match) and would recommend both to anyone without reservation. It is obvious the locotrician had a different experience. It happens. At this point, let's just allow him to extricate his foot from the bear trap and invite him to post again with us on LRH.
