Basing the experience, skill, and honesty of a person on ridiculous and meaningless numbers of posts that a person has made on an Internet forum... emphasis mine
C903, there were no assumptions made about any of these qualities of the individual. The inference, rather, was made from the connotation of the contextual material provided within the post itself. I never challenged the fact that said dealer may in fact have dropped Bowtech as a part of his offerings; rather, it was the manner in which it was reported.
"Bowtech failed, and they sell a ton of Mathews instead. Nyah nyah nyah." So? I'm sure there are myriad shops across the country where Mathews "failed" and Bowtech "succeeded" -- or Hoyt, or PSE, or Martin...
However, if a person wants to bash a company or product and has something valid to base his or her opinion on...
So where is the validity in this case? If a bow's limbs breaks, or a harness system gives way, a string breaks, heck, if the film-dipped finish is marred -- anything service- or product related -- OK, I'll accept that as a valid reason to complain about a manufacturer's product. There is none here.
Especially when the presumption is because someone's gear of preference was dissed ...
Wrong again. Bowtech is
not my gear of preference. In case you didn't realize it, Mathews manufactured the MQ-1 -- the very brand that lefse was lauding and is obstensibly a big proponent of! The comment had nothing to do with "gear of preference", but everything to do with the manner in which the post was written.

Of course, we may not be able to deduce anything about
you from your post count, but I think it safe to say a number of us have been able to realize your contributions to these boards, C903 -- not from the number of posts, but from the merit of such:
C903,
You never impressed me as the type of person to take anything that anyone "says" on these forums at face value.
C903, is it just me, or are you often in the middle of these types of posts? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't remember too many post where you were actually helpful to anyone, but rather bashing them for their points of view, choices of equipment and so forth. All to often I have found you defending an ignorant comment you have made toward someone and other members have called you on it.
Now, having addressed C903 for the last time, I do appreciate you coming back in to explain your motives and intent, lefse, and will be quicker to give you the benefit of the doubt next time.
