Good Lord, Alaska Roy, don't be so sensitive.
I'm allowed to have opinions on what I think looks strange, ugly, humorous, etc.
I'm also allowed to express my opinions, even if it differs from the opinions of other board members, as long as I express it within the boundaries of decorum and decency.
I'm truly sorry that you've found offense with my view, but I really have to ask this (and I'm not being a smart ***), what do you care what I think?
For the record, among other things, I also get quite the kick out of:
1. Gangbanger wannabes who mount laser sights on Bryco, Jennings, Lorcins, or High Points.
2. Young "studs" who swagger around with their "big, bad & kick ass" AK-47 clone as if they're the toughest thing ever to set foot on the planet.
3. People who are shooting a 9mm and are overheard to say "Damn but that .40 Short & Whimpy wouldn't even knock down a house fly."
4. People who are overheard to say "That (insert gun name here) is a piece of CRAP! It won't work no matter what!" Ask them if they have one, or have shot one, and most times the answer is "No." Uh huh.
5. People who say "I've put 200,000 rounds through my (insert gun name here) without a SINGLE malfunction or cleaning or whatever." Ask them if they keep records of the number of rounds they've shot and most times the answer is "No." Uh huh. (I, FWIW, do keep those records.)
You get the idea. I really don't think this board is designed to be one big circular hug (or another circular activity, for that matter).
It's a place to express frank opinions on subjects relating to firearms. Not everyone may hold the same opinion. That's why it's an opinion.
Welcome to the boards. I hope to see more of you here. --Mike
