[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 876433, member: 11717"] I don't think it's all that new. This kind of communication has been going for years. I think it's the nature of the keyboard and internet combined with our own natures. I've taken a couple of extended breaks from this site and another I participate in. It's interesting that when you actually meet the guys at a shoot or whatever, it gives you a whole different perspective. I've met maybe 30 or more guys from this site, mostly at the Townsend shoots (which Jeff organized BTW) and I consider them all my friends and you tend to communicate with friends differently than a no face identity in an internet forum. I agree we should monitor ourselves although not sure just how to do that. The place to start is with our own individual self, me included of course. I notice that guys invest personal pride in their bullet or cartridge or make of rifle or scope or whatever. Hey fellas, it's just metal, wood and plastic. It's not your mother or sister. We need to learn how to discuss the good, bad and ugly of these THINGS objectively without giving or taking offense. I don't have a favorite bullet. I don't have a favorite cartridge and I don't have a favorite rifle. I do admit I have a favorite scope :rolleyes::D:cool: but hey if it's not your favorite it's fine by me, you just don't know what you're missing :D I see this site as a place to learn, share, teach and to keep up with the latest in our specialized sport. We all have our opinions, peeves and preferences and we need to try to be objective and unemotional as we can in communicating them. [/QUOTE]
