I am really beginning to learn that asking a real question on here is seen only as an insult to anyone whom the question may involve, their friends, their gear, you name it. The problem is people believe that you are questioning their integrity instead of taking it for what it is, which is an actual desire for information. General statements and meaningless plateaus are the norm. Yes, I know that things have to be used "correctly", but what the hell does that mean? When a conversation ends with the questions still being asked and the member "answering them" saying "never mind" then I would say it was a complete waste of time.Unfortunately, thatbasically sums up the vast majority of my experiences on here. I have made a few good acquaintances on here, some I hope can develop into true friendships, but I grow so tired of the overwhelming amount of sensitivity overmeaningless issues. When someone tries to make a point that may be against the common thread of thought that is woven on this website it is immediately dismissed as complete BS. There is no explanationwhy, no thought given to it, but simply a gut reaction to someone daring toquestion, or worse yet, disagree with the rest of the herd.It is depressing to me that I have wasted so much of my time on here trying to help people who don't want to hear anything that goes against what they have already decided prior to asking the question and trying to get help from people who refuse any kind of intelligent discussion. I do realize that much gets lost in the translation of plain text, but much of it is well beyond that. There are many on here who do try to help and give information, but, as unfortunate as it is, those members are overshadowed by the hordes of members who just want to post pictures of their mounts and kills, make contacts they believe will get them on TV, or simply to cause an argument. I guess that is just the inevitable result of bringing so much testosterone together in one place, even if it is just a virtual gathering.

That’s my rant. Feel free to leave it at the door. It is probably best that way.
