i think it is a pain also i have tried as well to contact people also with no luck i can deal with that even worst i am new to social media and having people get a attitude because i used all caps. and telling me to quit screaming i had to find out from a young girl at work what they were talking about,, i'm waiting for some one to yell at me for spelling words wrong .. good luck from a newbee
The grammar Nazis are going to come after you just as quickly for using no caps or punctuation as they did for using all caps. LOL
You admit you are new, so just reconcile yourself that if you are posting on the internet, you are going to get attitude. Develop a thick skin and get over it.
At least it gave you an excuse to talk to a young girl at work. See, some good came from it after all.
I have another gun forum that I am very active on and feel like I have several good freinds there. But, I lurked around for almost a year before I really started posting and getting active. I just wanted to figure out some of the personalities involved before I jumped in with both feet. When I finally did start posting, I had two guys attack me very quickly. I apologized for offending them and moved on. Since then, one has become a little more friendly and the other totally ignores me, as I do him.
Kind of the same here, but the difference is this forum has so many members and has so much activity, it is very hard to get a feel for it. I have been around for a while now and still only have about 200 posts. Maybe 10 of those are REALLY quality, but I am just now starting to feel a little more comfortable here.
And even in my limited posting I have been flamed by a couple of people. Frankly, I am not a sidewalk lawyer (there are enough of those on her along with the real lawyers) nor was I president of the debate society (lots of those around too). Just an old man who isn't afraid to give my opinion and loves to read what others think even if I disagree with them.
Man, for a guy who is not very involved, that was long-winded.
Hope you get involved in the community, have fun here, and maybe even learn something about guns and shooting.
