Yikes, busting out the caps lock.
I remember some threads about a particular forum. Something about how receptive they were to your RRA, and another about a moderator that kept locking your threads.
Now you are here, describing the very same forum you created those threads in.
Where you out of line in that post? Not at all. Coming here and making that entire forum sound like a bunch of amateurs? LOL, that my friend, is what cracks me up.

I hear you, I was just upset, wanted a second opinion, thats all! I never meant to make them sound like amateurs. I learned the hard way, and I was upset with people here, It is hard to accept you made a mistake that was well over a $1000. I was trying to help that member learn from my mistake, and some of the advice he was given I felt was questionable at best. I have done alot more reading and reasearch since my mistake and I won't make it again. On the otherhand, I love that forum, I just wanted a second opinion that is all. Props on how observative you are. I can't hardly remember what I had for dinner much less posts by others. Good memory.
I learned a very important concept in the Corps, and that is to police your own. There is no reason to hang dirty laundry where it doesn't belong.
I understand learning the hard way. I thought I was set with my Bushy ORC I had back in '08. I now longer own it.
Some people refuse to listen. It is a fact of life. I just recommend you ignore detractors and keep trying to help those that are receptive.
S/F,

I saw that thread. You did notice that DPMS is a Sponsor of that forum, and very little negative gets said about DPMS. In fact, it seems that any rifle this side of Oly or Blackthorne gets a GTG over there.

Michschi,
As you well know, I've had my dust-ups over on TOS on everything from why UTG rails are great, why would anyone buy a KAC Triple Tap, and why buy another Chinese made low end optic. When I post objective data, I get attacked as self-aggrandizing and a "know-it-all," and a gear snob by certain guys over there. One thing to keep in mind is that the majority, if not all, of those throwing stones over there are at best once a year shooters. The OP on TOS is probably going to buy a rifle, fire maybe 200 rounds through it, and it will sit in his safe. In that role, a DPMS will serve him great. As I posted in my response over there, if he runs it hard in a class or competitions, he will find out the shortcomings of an inferior rifle, and will be upgrading if he wishes to continue. You posted solid information on why he should purchase a BCM product (as I recently did - middy BFH upper with KAC URX rails), and you got him thinking. If he doesn't take your advice, you led him to water. That's all you can do. Who gives a shit what the others think? If you notice, it is a vocal minority who know it all and bash those of us who buy quality gear and spend time and money training and actually shooting. **** those guys. The majority over there are good guys who actually read others' opinions and weigh them in their decisions. At the end of the day, it's like arguing politics. With some, no matter what facts or real world experiences you present, you will not change their minds.

I don't think you were out of line. Having been a long time member on another forum. You'll always have people who won't agree, or who have a emotional interest in a specific firearm.
I look at firearms as tools, and some tools are better than others, or better suited for a certain job.
I'm a Bushmaster Armorer, and carry a Bushmaster at work. I've made sure that our work carbines are good to go and that any potential issues have been checked and taken care of.
That being said, I own 2 S&W M&P 15's, a 15 and a 15T. I recognize and prefer the quality they exhibit. It doesn't mean that others won't prefer something else. Someone may come along in 2 minutes and bash them. To each his own.
Luckily I haven't seen that much here, and is why I decided to become a member here.
I think you did the right thing, for what it's worth.
