^This^ I just spent alittle time and re-read this entire thread and I honestly don't get where this "pilling on" or "bullying" of the OP notion is coming from. Other than the usual thread derailments I think there has been a vast majority of encouraging comments directed toward the OP.Funny, I see lots of long time members telling him to stick around and learn what the forum is all about before judging it too harshly. Perhaps you should start on page 1 and re-read some.
Purple....I forgot the purple.
I'm outing myself here for good reason. When I saw the "Meet and greet" post, I noted his location. He's in the same vicinity as my BIL, who was coming down for a gathering of like minded folk. I thought, new member, free ride down and back, and range time. What could go wrong with this? I even gave my home # to call. If he had called and said, this , this, and this is what I'm about, I still would have been ok with him coming down.
I have learned a valuable lesson here. And I will NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

Thin skins never do well in the forums.
I have been watching and see the same thing.
I believe the OP being quick to call a few of us stupid when in fact the effort was made to get then OP out with a few members to attend Shoot. He would have needed no guns/ammo as "We" would have supplied it all.
Reading something into intentions That are not there is kind of sad.
I believe we are dealing with a few thin skin issuess. No insults intended just an observation.
Op should have called that number. He would have had a ride and a great day. This is what we do on ingo. We share. In the sharing friends are made. Things are learned. That is what's truly amazing not the non-existant dog pile.
