I refuse to continue into a discussion once it becomes contentious , simply put arguing with someone on the internet is much like banging ones head on a wall ,
it feels good to stop. So i stopped ,I used to bicker - no more , stepped up the self control a few notches.
I stopped frequenting THR , not because I got into arguments but because of the petty nature of sooo many posts, the thread that kicked it for me was some newb asked for a trim length for some revolver cartridge (44 mag I think) , the next guy gives him the length from his load book, the next 6 posts demean anyone who trims pistol brass , then the next poster whacks the guy who gave him the length cause
his source says it should be .001" more.... and this is supposed to be fun
This place is much more pleasant "most" of the time, I don't post much but I read everyday and I see a little acrimony sometimes , usually the same people butting heads.
