That's just f'ing crazy! Well, this is the result of the insta-reefer, right? These are the people who only get their info from the web and wonder why things go south. I still reference books that I bought in the 80's and 90's. A lot of the info is still overlooked today.
Funny story, I was chatting with this girl on FB who wanted to buy some frags for her boyfriend as a birthday gift, but she didn't really know much about sps, so I was helping her out with a few starter pieces. I stepped away from the char for 5 or 10 minutes to put my son down to sleep and I come back to my phone with it being blown up by this girl who was flaming me, calling me names and calling me a scammer, etc. Apparently because I didn't respond within a certain amount of time, it flipped a switch and she went crazy. I responded back by telling her I had put my son down for the night and I never heard from her again. I even told her that I wasn't offended by what she said (because I could give a f___! ) and I was willing to help her out. I guess she was too embarrassed to respond? And I was the one helping her out with info and a good deal on a handful of nice frags.
I think the bigger issue with a lot of forums is the lack of people being able to have an adult conversation about something, without it turning into some stupid opinion argument. It's like everyone forgot how to have a conversation and exchange ideas, even if you don't agree with them, you could actually learn something in the process. I think people forgot how to listen, sometimes you learn more by keeping your mouth shut. Alright, back to work. Eric, I need some berghias!
