I haven't seen any more rudeness or vulgarity or fatheadedness on TFL than
I have seen in person, I have found shooters, collectors, etc to be rather well
mannered and considerate, in 38 years of shooting and collecting I have only
once encountered rudeness and hostility from another shooter. Everyone has
their opinions, and like food their likes and dislikes, and like food, likes and dislikes in firearms are very personal and really cannot be rationally analyzed.
I don't like asparagus or broccoli. End of statement. In handguns I don't
like aluminum, titanium, polymer frames, if it's not steel, I don't want it. I
don't like Glock style triggers, "safe" triggers, DAO triggers. This makes me
a classicist according to one poll posted here. I also like English 3 speed bikes
which are somewhat old fashioned in the world of cycling. Regarding caliber wars, they seem to be more a matter of fashion and taste and a desire by the
manufacturers to seel us something new rather than fill a real need, but again, like a chef's creations, it is the market and the buying public that should decide.
