Why I Love this Board

[Atticus69]

Hey gang!

Just recently I joined a board about unmentionables and asked about what was the best particular kind to buy in 2020. The responses were extremely rude and awful, using multiple swear words and belittling me that I should just “read the effing buyers guide”.

Apparently, there was some sort of guide on the website (that I had no idea about since I was new) that was supposed to keep me from bothering anybody and to stifle any new conversation on the subject at hand.

I deleted my account there that same day.

That is why I love this board guys! That kind of disenfranchising behavior would never be tolerated here and everyone can have civil discussions in a safe and welcoming environment. I’ve been on many forums in my day and this is the friendliest of them all. I want to deeply thank all members here and the Moderators for working hard to make it so!

The traditional Muzzleloading family might have their differences in opinion (half stocked Hawkens, flint or cap, etc.) but those discussions are all fun and in good spirit and everyone can learn so much from them. I’m just glad we don’t have to deal with so much of the toxic garbage and “bro culture” that poisons so many gun forums and real life venues.

Thanks all and happy new year!

Zonie and the gang do not get enough credit for how this forum is run! I myself had to be gently reminded to stay on topic recently. It was warranted, direct and friendly. We all have strongly held opinions about something and it is easy to get off track or clash, especially with the anonymity of the internet. This forum does a great job of keeping things on topic and congenial. It is one of the reasons a lot of us like it so well. Of course, there is the fact that there is a ton of knowledge and experience shared among like minded individuals as well.

THIS is the best web forum for trad muzzleloaders. I won't bad mouth some of the others that I have served on, but this is my real go to for info and relaxation.
