It's true that there is a lot of that going on. However this forum has over 11,500 active members. Some of them are bound to be jerks. That's just part of it.

The vast majority however, are nice folks that will help you all they can.

I see some responses on this forum that seem holier-than-thou towards new re-loaders. Most of the responses are beneficial and are trying to help in training the new guys but a few see to be almost vindictive in nature.

Some of us are new reloading and are just trying to learn. There is a wealth of information on this forum and we feel blessed to have access to it.

But the "stupid", "why would you do that", and "what were you thinking", kind of responses are counterproductive to our being here. If you are an expert in reloading, why are you here except to pass on your knowledge to new re-loaders?

I have been reloading for 3 weeks. I need a lot of help as I don't have a mentor. Most of the people here give great advice based on my current level of expertise and lack of components available to me due to the current situation.

There are several people here who have helped me greatly in understanding the complexities of reloading that are not available in the readily available books. I thank you so much for your comments. As for the others that just want to slam me for not "instinctively" knowing, I don't want that kind of help!

I apologize for the rant. Just tired of the "why did you do that" kind of responses. I also want to apologize to the wonderful constructive learning experience I have had from most of the members here. This knowledge is not available in any publication that I am aware of and I am very appreciative of the opportunity to learn from you.

I know of which you speak, and it uriinates me every time such arises. Bears repeating, but when it comes to all aspects about firearms, there is no such as a stupid question.

I have been reloading for 50 years +, and have had the pleasure of imparting information to many of those new to the hobby.

Id say the same applies to him as well.
In fact didnt they both have a hand in creating the first handload?

LOL, that thought has come to me also.

I think there's about nothing but compassion here for our fellow men. We're not a genie in a bottle though.. information has always been/is there and assume responsibility. Don't be lazy.

Now that just cracks me up!
