[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1432170, member: 12995"] I agree completely. Respect is most-definitely earned, and his accomplishments do deserve respect. Looking back, I probably could have worded my initial post a bit differently... Where I draw the line, is when folks immediately think of an accomplished person as being the most knowledgeable or the final say on certain things. It was nothing personal about Eric, I would have said the same thing if it was someone's very first YT video, and they've never even shot a rifle in a comp before. It was a generalization about how people react to when someone famous says something, versus someone who isn't. People tend to gravitate to the famous person's opinion, and completely ignores the unknown's opinion, even if it might be correct or better (not saying that it is in this specific case, just generalizing).
