Show me where I've handed out a personal attack like that. I've received PLENTY.
Also, show me where the OP was asking about a budget scope? I get asked why I think a certain scope is worth twice as much money. I answer, and get tore down personally some more for my trouble.
Seems that the same folks do the same attacking over and over again. All I do is offer my opinion, then get called an idiot or a liar for it. I've let some 3rd party's read a couple of these ridiculous attacks and the threads surrounding them so they can get a full context. There were a couple of things where they said "you could have worded that better" but other than that they see it exactly as I see it.
In just the last few days I've been called a liar, a "joke", a retard, and plenty of other things. All the while trying to follow the TOS while others are abusing it in every post toward me.
It doesn't bother me a lot, but it does a "little."
Contrary to 2muchgun's assertions, I know I have a lot of experience and I also know I have a lot to contribute. Those who know me in the real world, tell me so. Constantly being called a liar, when I'm not... does very much get old.
Orkan, like I said...it's very difficult to read tone in text. By that I mean I don't automatically take harsh criticism of someone or something to automatically mean that the poster is a bad or mean person. Just over time an opinion can and will be formed about someone based on the content of their postings be it accurate or not(the opinion I mean). I may have spoke out of line earlier, and may have taken some dramatic license with my paraphrasing and for that I apologize. I don't think you are a bad or mean spirited person, but you do have an abrupt way about you(I do to). Right now I'm very ill (pnuemonia) and don't feel so hot and am a little jumpy and quick to bite, you didn't deserve that and I apologize for that as well. I can admit when I'm wrong and am doing so now. Hope you forgive me.
