Well - all I can say to those accusing me of being a troll is that I actually find it a bit hurtful.
I personally have high standards of honesty, decency and truthfulness. I don't do hidden agendas. I don't do ulterior motives. If I write "A=B" it's because I genuinely believe that A=B, not because I'm covertly trying to say "X=Y". And I don't do trolling, which is another form of dishonesty.
To be accused of deliberately trying to cause dissent etc for my own amusement by people who have no evidence whatsoever to support it is not very nice.
All I have done here and in the other related thread is, without rancour or insults or swearing, to put the view that being insulting and sweary towards people with whom you disagree is never, ever going to improve matters, and that all the parties in a discussion should accept evidence and facts.
Why some people have to react so aggressively to those ideas beats me.
At the top of this site's home page it says:
Supporting all legal firearm owners, collectors, enthusiasts, shooters and competitors by promoting and encouraging legitimate gun ownership and use in the UK through unity, advocacy and discussion.
Saying to someone "You're a nutjob, shut the f*** up" is neither advocacy nor discussion. It really isn't. And it's not obviously likely to do any good to the standing of the shooting community.
I guess if some of you want to continue to attack me, hoping to drive me away from here by sheer force of nastiness, and make a total mockery of the idea that this is a welcoming environment, there's not much I can do, but you may feel safe that I probably won't go
crying to the mods over it.
Or you could show everyone how truly supportive and keen on unity you are.
