"Open discussion about good and bad people in the airgun business" would only start verbal assults. Peoples oppinions are different. You may agree w/ one person, I w/ another. We could never ]possibly] agree with eachother. All the bickering would turn this GREAT PLACE TO BE into the YELLOW forum. I have NEVER been put down about any of my airguns, questions, oppinions, spelling, etc... on this forum.I have and do read many other foums, and only here do I post.I feel like I personally know most people here. They share in my excitement and they encourage me when I need it. You cant ask for more than that.I have seen so many examples of selfless acts, courtesy, friendship and support that it is staggering.When a "troll" shows up, he/she is removed before things get out of hand. Good job modereators! I am PROUD to be a member here.I choose NOT to be a member elsware.
