Time for the truth

" Time for the Truth "

Saw the title and came to read thread about Alien Overlords controlling the US government from a 70's RV parked in area 51 but instead I am assailed with a "why I'm awesome and my opinions matter" essay.

I have not been here all that long but made a few post and had no issues. Ask for some advise and was very well received. I hang out here to learn bc there are some pretty darn smart folks around here.

Thanks for the comments, generally positive, with limited chest thumping.
9 like and smiles are nice.
While I did notice the inability to contact anyone in charge and the avoidance of confronting the difficulties of the LR hunt were avoided, they are immaterial.

If allowed, I'll stay around and avoid "hot button" topics.

There is much good info here and real world experience with the unusual, expensive and cutting edge equipment. As I enjoy long range shooting, it's a valuable resource, unavailable else where.

Best wishes.

I cannot express how much that I have learned from this and other sub-specialty rifle shooting sites over the last 10 years. I am thankful to the owners of these websites for providing me with the opportunity to learn from some very experienced shooters. I have no complaints whatsoever.

My experiece as well

While I enjoy this forum and all that "inforum" me, I can't and don't know everything. There are some that seem to. I think those people probably should listen more and talk less. I learn alot from members here. Another word of advice would be, don't assume other people here are not as experienced and skilled as yourself. You'll find out more often than not that they are much more so. This would apply to any skill one may possess. I think when people use that for perspective (and most here do) they seem to have a good following and at least 9 likes. Usually many more.

Thanks I assume nothing but do take exception to being bullied and insulted.

Hence my resolution to avoid hot button issues.

If you cannot talk to a man on a computer they way you would across a table, whatever you planned to say is best left unsaid. ( that's what Ann Landers and Dear Abby told us all for decades. )

Hmmm...

Not much to add.

Sorry "too old to fight, too slow to run."

Will not respond to baiting.

"Sorry Charlie."

I'm not sure how to take this post. But congrats on fine ram and bull. If you do decide to stay around I look forward to exchanging thoughts and experiences.

If you like a less orderly forum join up at Snipers Hide.

Time for all to move on and let it go. I read every post and was going to stay out but am seeing it constantly at the top. Agree to disagree, not all like to argue or listen.
I think staying on the forum is good. Not all have to agree. Best letting an irritating post go. Man to man across the table as mentioned is a WAY better method to hash out differences. Ain't going to happen on a forum. That's just ****ing in the wind.

To the OP; I'm just guessing here, but maybe you had a bad day when you were starting this thread. No biggie. I'm sure many of us hope to learn from what you can bring to this game.

I recommend you apply the ignore button to folks that rub you the wrong way more than a time or two. Heck, you can practice on me if you want. You won't be the first. Just ask ol' harperrc.

Your guess is wrong. I just stated the facts as I see them. If you wish to disagree in a civil manner, that's fine.
