Now that there is funny.
Bumping up the "Whining Thread"...
What is with the guys who feel the need to sign their handle at the end of every post??? Do they think we can't figure out who wrote it???
Thought I would gripe here, rather than muddying another perfectly good thread...
Done... continue...

What about people that feel the need to post their entire firearm inventory in their sig block. No one cares that Tommy Dip#### has a Moisin, SKS and a Mossberg Zombie Shotty. Ever notice it's always a guy with some #### collection of mediocre firearms? I want to see someone like c-fbmi post his firearm inventory in his sig block. Make the Mom's-Basement crowd pee themselves.
Those same guys are fond of trumpeting to the world when they buy their latest POS, and feel the need to take a series of pics, or even make a YouTube video...the infamous "unboxing" videos.

Force of habit I guess, like typing a letter.
13 pages of stuff that bugs us, and not a bit of it that really impacts anybody in a physical way - boy do we have

And how about the "The above post is the intellectual property..." BS in some sig lines. Do these idiots really think that it will stop anyone so inclined (media, antis etc) from quoting their posts?
Same reason people say "bored of" instead of "bored with" , phrase usage has evolved or devolved depending on your point of view. I base this off of 32 years as a teacher
Never used the phase, I guess I talks right good English then.
Some people say things which, to some others, may seem stupid. A significant percentage of these people also have access to computer keyboards and time on their hands. The thing I've found, if I can just get past the way they say things, quite often they say something of interest to me or something I didn't know. Might need a little translation, but the gist is there.
My big concern, and the reason I resist being too critical, is that I may be guilty of some language mangling of my own. I know I mispronounce Sako and Leupold but have decided I am comfortable with it and, if I make the effort to pronounce them as I'm told I should, I feel like an impostor.
I do find, if things like this are starting to bug me too much, just staying away from the computer for a few days seems to fix things right up.
