In a little place called ArmedPoliteSociety, one must consider their audience, to be frank.
There are Desert Eagle owners amongst us - trust me on that one.
I've used mine for competition, wild pigs, whitetail deer, steel swingers, and it was even a defensive pistol on one road trip.
I bristled at that comment for what I considered a very good reason, but it's really not just a Desert Eagle thing.
People from all walks of life visit here, and unless they exhibit a grossly developed 'tard factor, they're given a fair shake.
That "fair shake" also means with respect to religion, politics, sex, age, nationality, etc.
Was the thread going downhill prior to my locking it?
Probably.
Do the staff here have real lives and miss threads going awry?
You damn betcha.
We will strive to do better. In the meantime, perhaps forum members can try not to increase our workload, either.
