Haha. Well he is gone now!
The "failure to cycle" thread went south pretty quick, probably a little taste of what the banned thread was about. Sorry to see this happen.
Hello all. I am new to the forum and AR's but not too firearms. A couple of observations from someone that has read and learned a lot here. I think the majority of us enjoy and learn from the help and expertise that is offered on sites such as this. Not wanting to sound like I am defending the OP...as I am not... we all do need to use respect and common decency when interacting at all times... and yes some people should not own firearms or try "adjusting" anything on their own at anytime. I would like to give a constructive statement to the mods and senior members that keep this site rolling. I agree 100% with not making public bitch sessions out of problems...be it with a person or a mfg... you should try to resolve issues in a private forum and even if all else fails... badmouthing anyone or company will probably only make you look worst off in the situation. That said... asking for advice with such issues should not be frowned upon. That is one reason this place exists. We all just need to ask for the assistance we need in a proper way. With many here being experts in their fields... if can be frustrating to hear the same question over and over. Even though a search can find the answers in some cases... the people that are novices to AR's can have trouble seeing the answers when they are right in front of them. It sometimes seem you will spend more time knocking down the inability to search a result than it would have taken to just answer a legitimate question. Yes, you will say that one "dumb" or "easy" question will lead to 10 more...etc... but too the OP of that question... it's the most important one at that moment in time. There is a reason there are experts and non-experts in all fields. Respect should go both ways. Again...this is in no ways any support for the OP of the rant... after reading the gas block move plan....WOW! Enough said. Too the mods and sponsors and seniors around here... please take this comment with the utmost respect as that is what you will get from me...but I would like it in return unless I prove otherwise not worthy of it. - Michael
I don't see it that way.
AR novices will pretty much always ask the same questions - Lube? Is mine GTG? Ammo? Spare parts? etc. It's a pattern. (A GOOD pattern - they need to learn).
What I've seen every time a newbie asks a question is a very brief answer, followed by links to threads where that question - and most any other question they're likely to have - has already been answered in detail.
1) there's no reason to reinvent the wheel every time a question is asked, and
2) it reminds the newbie where all the answers are.
I work in academia. It's a proven fact that a person will learn more about a subject if they have to do a little research on it, rather than if they're simply given the answers.
I just read the post from JMel. All I can say is WOW.
I really dont think anyone could be that uninformed on the gas sytem and how it works.
I think he may have been just looking to stir trouble.
He deserved ban stick for that thread I can only imagine what was said in the new one.
Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance.
