Posting on Gun Boards

[dross]

Just a general rant. Has anyone noticed how many gun posts go something like this (This question is just an example I made up) :


Does anyone know where I can pick up a nice AR-10 type rifle in 308 for under $1000?

Irritating answers:

A1: Why 308? You can get an AR type rifle in several better calibers now.

A2: Did you do a search? This has been talked about before.

A3: Why would you get an AR in that caliber? They're too heavy and too expensive. You can two great bolt guns for that price.

A4: Why would you BUY an AR? Build one. You can get the components you want if you build one.

A5: Why go cheap? Just save your money for a while longer and get a LaRue.

A5: Instead of spending money on a new gun, why don't you invest it in training.

A5: You should spend your time shooting the guns you have and less time posting on forums.

Me: Could someone just answer the question?

As someone who is fairly inexperienced with gun boards this irritates me a little. You hope for place that is welcoming and helpful but more often than not you get judgment, negativity, and contriarianism.

I think I'd go for an M&P-10. Have shot one and it's pretty good.




There. Does that answer your question?

That is a really big word.

I see what you did there. Brilliant, really. Managing to pull my chain by actually answering the question.

Yup...go ahead guys, pile on, but lots of smart, snarky replies here a lot of time. And Oh, if you don`t belong in the "cool" crowd...

Its not just gun message boards it's all of them. I've been posting on several automotive message boards for many years...the same problems exist there too.

No one from the "cool" crowd has even bothered to reply to this thread. Finally a thread for just us losers.

You can get the parts from PSA blemishes for like $250, and have a better rifle.



**** the cool guys. My Frankengun will be better!

Until (insert favorite company) makes one, you are an uneducated fool to buy one!

I refuse to answer because of your low post count, you are obviously just trying to get your 50!!

I learned not to ask these type of questions for your reasons.
You nailed it in detail. I'm glad I never thought it out like you did.

How did I miss this thread? I agree with everyone, but have nothing to add that hasn't been said.

 

[Birds Away]

I give this a 5/7

 

[eldirector]

On the internet, no one knows you are a dog.

Seriously. Its the anonymity. Folks can spout off any random opinion, with little to no repercussions.

This board is pretty tame. I'm on another board mostly as a lurker, as it can get downright brutal.

It's called a chat room for a reason. Don't worry about it too much.
