The nice thing about Internet forums is they don't cost you anything. So if you don't like the environment you can leave without loss of a cent.
I visit The Muzzleloading Forum now and then. It's not totally my thing (I like it here better). But there's an interesting read there now and then. As for the opinions of some of their members - well, it's their opinion, isn't it. And they have a right to them even if I consider them narrow minded.
Heck,
Muley holds the opinion that I shouldn't have modern scopes on my sidelocks. He's wrong of course. But I love him anyway.
