Hi everybody (Voice of Dr. Nick)
USMCDK Here and I have a question that has just finally boiled it's way to the top of my brain...
Why oh WHY do people feel the need to go against someones thread and advise someone into buying a weapon system that wasn't even in the choices of the OP???
It's just down right rude.
For example:
In my thread PSG-1 http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=352888 people went outta their way to try and get me to change my mind about finding the rifle of my dreams and buy a different brand. GRANTED: they were trying to save me some $$$ but at the same time they didn't even take into consideration that my heart and soul were/are set on that weapon system, of that genre, and that weapon system alone. Also in this thread; http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=356508
Our fellow firearm friend politely asks a question about which 9mm to get and gives only(3) three choices to choose from, but of course no someone, no names mentioned, out right goes against the grain and suggests a weapon system that isn't even listed. I feel (FEEL) that it is highly disrespectful to the OP to do such a thing. It even boarderlines high-jacking. C'mon you guys can't tell me, that if you post something outside of the choice parameter, that others won't start to say this and that about the firearm you suggested and then get as far as possible from the OP's idea and call for help.
Think about this guys, how would you feel if, you start a new thread with an excellent question (whether if it's excellent because you think so or others do too is irrelevant right now) about getting some advise about a choice between item A, B, C, etc... (how many choices doesn't matter) and someone else comes into YOUR thread and BLATANTLY disregards your question/choice(s) and suggest something totally different than what you are asking/posting about?
Seriously I am not trying to troll here. These are legitamate questions here and I really think that they deserve answers... Not only for me but for everyone else out there that has ever had such a thing happen to them. Further more they are legitamate because it should make US ALL think about what we are typing to others and how it effects their feelings and their thread.
So to sum this up, the question(s) are
Why would you...? and How would you feel if...?
Please remember (ALL OF US) to be respectful of one anothers explaination/beliefs in this matter. It is not NOT a he said she said contest or a Testosterone measuring contest. PLEASE just bare that in mind when you are posting here... or anywhere for that matter.
Thank you
Sincerely and Respectfully,
