Ruger Guru
This Forum is the first Forum I ever joined. Long ago.
I was impressed by the good folks,,, the friendly attitudes,, the joking between members,, (anybody else remember the cow painted microbus Rugermobile,) and most of all,, the POLITE attitudes here. Combined with very helpful folks,, and the wealth of knowledge that abounded.
And as I became a little more computer savvy,, I joined a another Forum,, the cast boolit forum,,, because I enjoy casting. It too is pretty good overall,, and again,, it felt ok to enjoy that one.
And I also found another Forum that is a lot like us here,, and it too is kept polite, with a wealth of knowledge, and run like a smooth clock.
All of these are due to members who self police,, and RESPECT each other,, and understand that the PUBLIC can see things.
And recently,, I saw a posting about a more local gun Forum,,, that it was mentioned I should join. So,, on a members advice,, I did.
Well, sadly,, that place is NOWHERE near the quality as these other places.
Obscene language, pictures you wouldn't show to your kids, vicious verbal assaults on other members, ridicule for honest questions, and attitudes by many which,,,,, IN MY OPINION do NOT reflect gun owners in a good light.
That's not to say all of it is bad,, or that all the folks there are less than polite folks. But,, in contrast,, I can attest to the obvious differences. The use of words that as the saying goes; "Sounds like a sailor at sea" or pictures of things,, that would NEVER be allowed here. One pic that comes to mind,, is actually a short video of a girl with an umbrella, tip pointed at the camera,, and as she opens the umbrella,, it has a large picture of a birdy finger pointing at the camera.
All this is just a way for me to vent a bit about the very poor attitude by many out there,, AND they own guns. And it's also a way to express my sincere THANKS at the fine folks here who are obviously more mature,, and have a much better attitude than what I've witnessed over these past few weeks looking at the other Forum.
