    As I said, Zippy, I don't know you from Adam... or know anything about whatever transpired on your last site... but you've definitely made a lasting impression already, here, in your short time. Not only did you voluntarily paint a huge bullseye on yourself (when you easily could have never said a word about who you were or being shunned from the other forum, and could have quite possibly slide in under the radar), but your comments and retorts further paint yourself into a corner.

    This isn't an attack on you, as I think you're like one of my friends... really high strung and very hard to read, until you get to know him and accept that's just how he is. Unfortunately, this is the internet... people frankly can't read one another all that well, like you could if you were at the local bar having a drink together, and instead can only go by the impression you give off. I suggest when you feel the urge to post something on here (especially when it's in retaliation to something that has been said) is to not do it. Stop. Think about it. Think how others on here will perceive it. And, then, if it sounds like a good idea to you... rethink it again.

    The member pool on this forum is made up of REAL "professionals" (a term all-to-often tossed around when it shouldn't be), military and LEO, manufacturers and industry leaders, private business owners and vendors, and just the "average Joe" that has a love for the firearm hobby and has years of experience and knowledge under their hats. As it's already been stated several times... these guys are more than willing to help educate you, me, and any new guy that shows up on here. They love the hobby and they love watching it grow as more people are brought into it. But they have very little tolerance for egos, attitude, or BS. I've lurked on here for the better part of a year, and only just recently actually registered an account and began slowly chiming in on threads. Even with my past military experience, I am very humbled by the wealth of knowledge here. Be a sponge and soak it all up, like I am.

    The best thing I can suggest is to treat this forum like their home. They've opened it up to you to use and have fun, as long as you are respective and abide by the simple rules. It's like a house party... everyone has fun and gets along. Don't be that one guy that shows up, pisses everyone off, throws his feet up on the coffee table, and ends up having everyone glare at him from all sides of the room. The outcome is neither pleasant for you or anyone else around. You're already hurt your credibility and character by your own actions and words... from here out just try and mend that rfit between you and the collective member base. It can be done. You'll just have to work at it.

    Best of luck.
    I understand Verbal Kint. Thank you for taking the time to explain things to me. I will take your advice. You were kind with your response to my high strung rant and subsequent delusion. I'm like your friend. In fact I might even be him.

    I am both astounded and disappointed that you have been able to carry this garbage on as long as you have.

    My humble advice would be to send you on your deserved way.
