That is exactly what this chat room used to be, a forum for men to talk about guns (look it says Gunnutz) a source of ideas, helpful hints, sharing experiences.... But I guess we are just not sensitive enough to the current generation's tenderness....

So are you leaving? Or are we forced to enjoy more of this wisdom and expertise first?

Ya, but this ignores the question of the nature/validity of many of the complaints. The Gen-Y generation is close to impossible to deal with. The egocentricity is truly epic. I know, I have been involved in hiring a student (in his/her mid 20's) each year for the past 7 years at my firm. So many come in with an unrealistic sense of entitlement. And they themselves are never the problem. Oh no! Everyone else is the problem for not bending to their will and whims.

This is an interesting take on the "unhappy" Gen-Y, complete with stick-figures for ease of reading: Happiness = Reality - Expectations

The problem isn't just the complaints. The problem is John's response. See my previous quote. Once again, John is belittling everyone with a complaint.

Don't put this on the complainers. John's problems are of John's making alone.

But I've made that point repeatedly, only to be ignored by the fanboys. At this point repeating it again is degenerating into trolling, so I'll take my leave.

All the whiny little #####es should be kicked off this forum and let the MEN talk about guns. The whiny little #####es can start their own little touchy feely forum and talk about their hurt feelings. John and the other sponsors should not even respond on these forums about anything not gun related.

The unnecessary and immature personal attacks is what I was referring to. What value add does the comment, "don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out" add?

Second point, sponsors and donors support this community site, feel free to chip in some cash.

waterwheel said:
Sure. Take up a collection. Start a petition. Start having the mods ban users who criticize or opine about forum sponsors. That's a great idea.

Forums don't exist to serve the purposes of your pet retailer. They exist to serve the purposes of the users. The users are the boss here, not the other way around.

But if the mods want to ban me, go ahead. Except they won't - they understand how forums work, even if you don't.

Since you believe so strongly in your convictions, lets see you put your money where your mouth is, I will ask CGN to send you our invoice when our spot comes up for renewal, I am certain you won't mind kicking in $4k so you can donate the forum to others to run it as a free for all.... I am certain there are other sponsors that feel as I do and would be happy to relinquish their space to you and your buddies. Then you will be "THE BOSS"

Lack of respect and sense of entitlement. That is what fuels most of these keyboard warriors. My dad, bless his soul, should he catch me disrespecting people the way it goes on in this forum, he would have cuffed me upside of the head.

It is clear to me that mom was doing the disciplining that day the way some of these people behave in here. And that is all I have to say about that.

Holy crap, you're a freakin' train wreck. With a comparable IQ. What a pile of bluster. Are you going to shut up and leave already?

How do you determine ones IQ by means of a forum post where the person has simply asked you to put your money where your mouth is?

Because he doesn't know when to shut up, that's how. Is this rhetorical question day?

And he didn't ask me to 'put my money where my mouth is'. He responded with more baloney and bluster, with arrogant and condesceding attitude when he should have kept his flapper shut. Like he does all the time. If you think his post was 'asking me to put my money where my mouth is', then you're about as bright as he is. Rub your head against a brick wall and I don't think we're going to get a lot of sparks.
 
Water, you seem like an angry little fellow, hope to see your name in Pink soon.

FYI: might want to watch your spelling as you are trashing talking everyone, "condescending" not "condesceding"

He's like the other little fella who loves to antagonize another forum sponsor. A dog with a bone.... I don't even know what message he's trying to send anymore because it's all noise.

You said the users (you or I) are the boss of the forum, correct? Arrogant and condescending - have you read how you've been commenting on him? For example, going back to calling yourself "the boss" because you are a consumer.

Might want to take a bit of your own advice and keep your flapper shut. You wonder why people make sarcastic remarks on a forum, but this is it in a nut shell. Someone comes in and acts like a keyboard warrior, and then backtracks by throwing out insults; naturally its do unto others as you what you want done unto you.

Either you were unaware of the board not "really" being a public board when you made your initial comment about being the boss, or you dont grasp the concept that this is HIS portion of the forum you are in.
Straight from Johns post:
lets see you put your money where your mouth is

... so how where was it that he "didnt ask me to 'put my money where my mouth is"? I dont expect sparks if I rubbed my head against a brick wall; perhaps you should pick up an Anatomy and Physiology book and begin there, because you're very mistaken on what skin is made of.
