Folks, I hate to do this, but we need a review of how to post a constructive reply to a thread. In the last five minutes I've seen two posts that added nothing constructive to the topic or subject of the thread. In a thread asking for reliable 1911s under $1k someone suggested buying a CZ-85 with no mention of any 1911 in the post. In a thread asking about best 9mm pistol options someone came out and said 40 S&W or 10mm were the minimum for self defense and trashed the 9mm.
If you're a CZ fan posting in a 1911 thread tell us what 1911s you like and dislike based on your experience, then tell us why you would consider whatever model of CZ as an alternative. Don't troll.
If you're trolling in a 9mm thread looking to start a caliber war - DON'T POST! If you don't like 9mm, but would still like to comment, talk about the positives of 9mm and then tell us why you prefer caliber X over 9mm. While you're at it talk about the negatives of caliber X and why you feel it's positives outweigh them.
Ignoring the topic of the thread does nothing constructive for the forum. On the other hand, weighing the pros and cons of the thread's subject, then offering reasoned alternatives leads to constructive debate.
Edit: I posted this in the autoloaders forum because this is where the I saw the two threads with problem posts.
