Gun Forum pet peeves

[88GT]

I don't like bullies or the group bully method that some participate in. Bullies are just trying to make up for other deficiencies in their life.

Yeah, the INGO dog pile is beyond irritating. So is someone complaining about something he does. That one really irritates me.

FWIW most things mentioned thus far are NOT unique to INGO, but are quite standard on internet forums

Well -
Can she make a good Sammich?

My gun forum pet peeve is when someone starts the exact same thread multiple times in different sub-forums. It's usually a newbie, but that's no excuse.

Not so much. But I'm great with the crock pot meals.

Crock pot meals are the best meals.

I agree. Some INGO members have a way of remembering every word said in the forum and will pull out something somebody said even in different context to use against them. Thats more irritating than sand in your britches.

Mine is about the poster who will ask about a certain gun then when you state a problem with it he'll argue like you're the one trying to talk him into buying it.

No, you're just lucky. Less to concern yourself with. That's ideal to me.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I don't have any pet peeves. I raise my peeves for food only.

 

[Gadgetmonster]

People that fix grammer.

It's OK, I'll handle it. Taylor Swift... people like to slam her but I don't get it. She's cute, young, great singer. Seems rather innocent. Less obnoxious than many other stars. Seems like we should gravitate towards her instead of being put off by her.

Oh, and my pet peeve is threadjacking.

Great singer? HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH

Did you see the New Year's Eve song she did a few years ago? The performance without the auto-tune? Horrible. Terrible. Bad. She's not at all a good singer. The other things she has going for her + auto-tune + OK song-writing ability are what's got her where she is.

my pet peeve everywhere not just on gun forums is people claim they are experts or whatever. the one that really gets me are the fight experts "when in a fight for your life you will do this or this" stfu you have never left your moms basement let alone been in a fight for you life.

my other pet peeve is people asking me what my pet peeve is.

I'm sure I'll take flack for this, but I think it needs to be said. It makes me cringe to see new members with low post counts getting mocked when they offer up their opinions. Yes, a thick skin is often necessary on Internet forums, and undoubtedly there are those trying to run up their post counts to hit the classifieds. But there are gun owners (or potential ones) who weren't raised around firearms and are possibly trying to gain information or, god forbid, offer up an inexperienced opinion. Maybe we could cut those people a little slack instead of immediately offering up judgement on the quality of their posts.


For example: TheoreticalNoob has a question or comment that has already been discussed multiple times. It's reasonable to assume Noob may not be aware of that. So Noob has 2 choices, he can start a new thread and immediate (and snidely) be referred to 5 other threads that covered that topic. Or, he can search for one of those previous threads, make a new reply and then be called out for thread resurrection.


It's a no win situation. If there are those here who are serious about growing the number of shooters in our state and our nation, then exercising a bit of patience would go a long way.
