Why are we all so mad and fighting umungst ourselves . Let's shoot some guns and talk ballistics . The next gun we want to build or load work up for a new project ! This continued angst makes me want to sign up on Facebook and X .

Most likely we are a bunch of alphas, given the subject matter…..a little chest thumping is inevitable

What I've concluded in life so far is that no matter how hard I try to be nice there's always going to be someone that I don't get along with.
I'm getting better at just moving on, usually.

The anonymity of the internet makes us all 9' tall and bulletproof.

if people acted, in real life, the way they do on the net, it would be one ugly place! Nobody talks like that in person.

I witness it happening everywhere. Keyboard warriors are like people pencil whipping their resumes, nothing makes me more upset when I see it, I take everything with a block of salt, grain ain't enough.

I've been saying the same thing about phones for decades, especially before calling numbers came around...

Anecdotally evident:
As a guy ages, he loses the ability to resist correcting everybody about everything….and now since he knows everything, everyone is entitled to his opinion.

Smart old guys STFU…and sip their coffee.

The ones that do usually get an attitude adjustment old school style.

I never discuss or consult what rifle I buy or build here or anywhere. I do however post them here when it is done.

I agree, and while I try not to preach, I don't handle keyboard idiots well. That is why they invented the "ignore" tab. If I am annoyed by a member once, his name is written down on my blotter. Second time, I use the tab "ignore" and I move on. I have not and will not get into a online argument as it is pointless. This forum is 99% of the time helpful and enjoyable. Seems more issues with newer members. Just keep a list and hit ignore for a member that is just in it for the fight. When no one replies because everyone is ignoring them, they will leave. If bad enough aggression, hit the report tab.

For all you great members out there, thank you and continue to be a positive influence on the shooting and reloading world.

LL! I, too, love the ignore option, I even started a thread, https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/how-long-is-your-ignore-list.376876/

99% of the feedback I get from most members is very helpful and appreciated. I have gotten some really good information on here.

One of the common things is when you do your own research as to what caliber and rifle you want to get or build, ask about load data and keyboards go crazy with you should buy this caliber in this gun because it's their favorite. That's not information for a suggest load, powder and bullet. I get what I want based on how I am going to hunt and shoot with under 1 MOA at 200 yards. If it's not your jam or in your knowledge base just don't comment. Some people just can't help to brag on themselves.
