So, you "refuted" my comment regarding customer service by largely focusing on the quality of components.
To be fair, you did mention CS. Although, you essentially articulated my point by indicating "some with crappy quality and bad CS." And, yes, there are plenty of instances where other companies have exhibited lackluster CS. I've seen negative reports running the gamut from Colt and BCM, to Stag and Rock River. For the former two, reports of issues and poor CS are often snuffed out pretty quickly. For the so-called "bottom tier" brands, the same type of reports are given a much longer leash. It is what it is. I don't expect any change in objectivity any time soon.
It's quite fitting that you hail from CA. You brought nothing of substance to the discussion. Just an air of enlightened superiority. Ironically, while clicking around M4C today, I encountered 3-4 other recent threads regarding PSA. And, sure enough, there you were contributing the same level of unproductive drivel. It seems you can't accept that others might think differently. You could simply click on past. But, no, it's almost like you seek out opportunities to disparage those who make purchases that you personally deem unacceptable. Again, it's not all that surprising. It's very Californian to actively stalk unlike minds around; attempting to shove ones opinions and beliefs down the throat of others.
Individual's freedom to make their own purchasing decisions shouldn't be so triggering. Contribute to the topic or let it go.
