you can trace the beginning of your end to your initial "ugly American" comment. check the time stamps. your self righteous crap kinda goes out the window there. up till that moment, you just had some minor hazing by a very knowledgeable senior guy who has solved more than his share of rifle issues, despite his blunt approach. there is a steady influx of members here. some fit right in. some take a beating gracefully, regroup, and become part of the family (Cali ed lol) quite a few are too busy showing off to make it, and it's their loss, not ours. this isn't other forums. it's a unique place and were going to keep it just the way it is.
