There are some here who harbor resentment in regards to the decline of what were once two great forums("hunting rifles and "custom rifles"). They've now been reduced to a bunch of guys with little knowledge asking a bunch of questions "this one or that one". A lot of the guys answering the questions have little, if any more knowledge than the poster. Hard to describe, to some, but others know EXACTLY what I mean. It just isn't what it used to be IMO. My interest has been largely lost, as of late, as I find very little here to be either informative, or interesting any more. That did not used to be the case. Methinks I'm not alone.
I think there are plenty of gentlemen here who have a wealth of knowledge to share.
Your observation that the forums have eroded is no surprise to me considering that you are a player on team "Socially Dysfunctional!"
Now, PLEASE, go join your foul-mouthed brethren over at "As Real As It Gets" and allow this site to draw closer yet to what it was meant to be; a kind, welcoming place of fellowship between MEN/WOMEN who share a love for the outdoors.
I don't know Mr. Olsen and can't begin to know what kind of person he is by way of another million posts. I do know he's someone's child and I intend to treat him that way regardless of any personal -isms he may have. (Momma Bear always reminded me of what is in bold and it has been the secret to great success in dealing with people. I hate that I feel compelled to ignore it now.)
I'd rather stagger through the darkness of humble ignorance with these gentlemen that have "little knowledge asking a bunch of questions" than be enlightened and beguiled with the utter filth that is spat from the mouths of the likes of Big Stick and his hoard of Internet bullies.
