I've noticed that those who tend to speak out against crossbows also have strong opinions on other topics whether they have any knowledge about it or not.They are not open to reason but just expect your unquestionning acceptance of their position. They are usually loud andvoice their opinions through verbal intimidation. They always have a self-justified reason why their position is not only the best one but the only one. While they think their opinion is sought after, most of ustry to avoid them and are uncomfortable in their presence; however, for some reason,these fountains ofmisinformationoften have a small following that seem to hang on their every word, as if they are incapable oftaking their own stance. Me...I try to go the other waywhen I see them coming!
