April 22, 200521 yr It would be nice to have a "Fire-Arms: The Soap-Opera". Apparently you haven't visited the FA forums much :peace: I still go there when I need a good laugh. For some reason, I find their infantile elitism and flames entertaining.

It's also fun to attempt to reason with them. I've learned valuable lessons in the dozens of hours I spent on the FA forums during the helmet issue crisis, that I've applied to other areas of my life, including: 1) Despite a mostly hostile audience, retaining your composure and keeping a high level of intelligence in your writing will convince somebody to see it your way. You might not know who, but somebody will always go "hmmm...". I received a PM at one point by somebody who appreciated my discussions and "got it". It felt good. 2) Despite never stating your opinion one way or another, your group affiliation will almost always cause you to be pigeonholed. Lesson: If you care about what others think of you, don't join or stay in groups that stand for things you disagree with. I never once said I agreed with the TAC stance on the helmet issue. But because I wore the tag, everyone assumed... 3) Email and online correspondence is not well suited for complicated and fiercly debated issues. I learned this back then, but I tend to forget about it sometimes, just because I like to read my own words I guess. LOL. 4) Some issues will try to consume all fibers of your being, all hours of your day, and every drop of your motivation. Don't let them, or stay as far away from them as possible. 5) Choose your battles.
