All "civilized" forums run off people. It's an unpleasant necessity. And, of course, no one's ever happy about being run off and almost invariably they feel that it was unjust.
That's just the way it is.
Just to clarify. Mentioning and discussing other forums is acceptable as long as it's on topic and doesn't turn into forum flaming or forum wars. There's enough vitriol/disunity/ire on the web without the members of two gun forums being pitted against each other.
