Gabe you sure got my attention! Wow! I sure was enlightened!
What is obvious to me Gabe, is that you assume a lot. You know what that means don’t you? Why are you trying turn you and me into a small quadraped?
Gabe you mistake recognizing the futility of continuing an argument with someone you have decided no longer has anything pertinent to say for failing to keep an open mind.
Throughout history a great many people in all fields of interest have spent years privately studying a subject and also reading the work of others studying the same subject, and yet never once spoken to or met them. This does not invalidate the validity of their opinions. If and when one of these individuals eventually does come out of the shadows to discuss his opinions, the well known stuffed shirts almost always attempt to discredit them with the fact that nobody ever heard of them before. Are you one of those stuffed shirts? Pardon me if I am not in your social and professional circle, it is a big subject of study after all. I never claimed to be a leading, active, and published authority on terminal ballistics or to socialize with those that are. I only stated my opinion and reasons for it based on my experience and study of the subject. Something by the way you have not.
Your comments about M&S are nothing new to me. For almost forty years, I have observed everybody being discredited by everybody. So what is your point? You telling me you are a member of the true church and I am not? Do you think similar dogmatic opinions and “scientific research” wasn’t expressed and claimed forty years ago? :barf:
That is an impressive list of competitive and political/social organization initials you have after your name. Some of which I could also list and some I could not. I am also sure I could list some initials of organizations where we did more that play with and debate firearms that you would not be able to list. From the tone of your post you must have almost forty years of experience too. However, until you dive head first into the debate as I did, prepared to face ridicule, for all I know you have one year of experience repeated forty times. You know I once met an expert Astrologer with decades of experience and not once did I think that made his opinions on human motivations valid. I wonder, are you one of the most recognizable authorities in the world on some aspect of firearms? Are you a peripheral hanger-on to someone who is? Show me your stuff Gabe; impress me that you are worthy of friendly debate. So far all you have shown me is you can be condescending and insultingly imply with no substantiation I have an invalid opinion. I am eager to learn from a master terminal ballistician, but not a master BSer. Have a nice day !
