the sad part is i likely know alot of the people here personally. I have been in the gun community here in indy for a long timeOK I'll field this one.
INGO is not like other places on the Internet. It's not just an avatar when you know the people in the realz. A lot of us know each other.
Like anywhere else, group dynamics comes into play. Forming, storming, norming, performing not only rhymes, but it's very true.
Also, a lot gets lost when communications are not face-to-face.
As far as "good ole boys" running things, those days are long in the past here. While the staff is predominantly male, 20% of the staff is @mom45 who is definitely not a good ole boy.
Those of us who have been here for years have seen a lot. Some folks I've expected to not last long have been here for years. Some folks who I'd had very good and cordial conversations with? Implode without warning.
Stick around, this bunch will grow on you. A big dysfunctional family, but it's OUR big dysfunctional family.
im just new to forums. by good ole boys i didnt mean male or female ... it means like when a certain group has control or gains enough control of something to then force their agenda or silence or bully or threaten others ..... how does anyone take it when you say to "tread lightly" ??? this is ridiculous to say the least...
first reply to a thread ever and second forum ever ... and all the people telling me to join ingo for the last 10 years .... wish i would have joined sooner..
thankyou to all the kind words sent my way
