Guess putting him on "ignore" didn't help.

Will make two comments:

First, I'm not "an employee of the industry." I would be if I worked as an editor for one the NRA magazines, or was similarly salaried by some other company. Instead I freelance for various magazines as an independent contractor, but make almost as much of my income by selling my words directly to readers, either in my self-published books or the quarterly on-line magazine my wife and I publish--which does not accepted advertising.

But all that's really irrelevant, because unlike your "opinion" (which you are indeed free to post) mine is based on facts derived by direct investigation, such as visiting actual factories where rimfire ammo is being made, and buying rimfire ammo occasionally in local stores in the past year, instead of making paranoid guesses about industry-wide price-fixing conspiracies.
