I'm a medical professional (and clearly better educated than you)
liberal troll
I'm still calling this one a troll
Knock this shit off.
If you think that this is trolling, then you have no idea what a real troll looks likes. I'm ****ing sick of people calling any newbie that's not in lock step with their views a 'troll'. It's not your call to make (which is good, because you'd do it wrong).
She probably posted here before reading through some threads to get a sense of how this place (and most other gun forums) operate, then focused on the negative (in spite of the fact that she actually got her question answered), and lashed out. She's a gun owner in Massachusetts, which makes her one of the good guys until proven otherwise. She deserves the benefit of the doubt - which means not calling her a troll in her first thread.
To the OP: Any time you post a question, you will get good answers, bad answers, insults, and posts that are in no way related to your question. You have the added advantage here of being a woman, which will quickly earn you an ultra-loyal cadre of shameless leg-humpers, especially if you're half as good looking as you say you are (remember - this is a gun forum).
A thick skin helps around here, but if you do feel the need to lash out, please use the 'Reply With Quote' button at the bottom of the offending post to single out the user instead of insulting the whole forum. This will allow you to light up the correct target of your ire, so that your soon-to-be minions can pile on like a bunch of laser-guided bombs.
If you insult the whole forum, they'll pile on you, which is what happened here.
You did get your questions answered and even took a lot less heat for it than others have with more innocent questions. You asked a bunch of damned dirty apes where you could shoot smoke-free and a couple of them threw bananas at you.
Go green tonight, find the thread for the car shoot / pig roast this weekend and sign up! You have until midnight. (deadline for signing up) If you see a guy in a banana suit, run away. If you see a Porsche, do NOT sit in it.
It's mostly a good bunch here, but most of us are not fit for polite company.
Not only do cigars and ciggys smell like poopy, they hurt EVERYBODY around the smoker.
I'm wanting to see pics of the shoes myselfIt's the internet. Welcome. Really, there are some awesome people here. Go to a shoot and meet them. Post in the Acquisitions threads. They'll pull the fangs in when you are established as a "real" person - we do get a fair amount of trolls passing through here so new people do tend to go through a baptism of fire.
Oh no no no no. Pro-tip: Whatever education/training you may have, there are almost certainly people here who are smarter and better-educated than you. And it may be some time before you figure out who they are.
There are also very few professions that will garner automatic respect on this forum. The people here generally grasp the difference between education and training. Being a "medical professional" might indicate you have some degree of the later, but says absolutely nothing about whether or not you have any of the former.
That said, your command of the English language is certainly well-above average for the Internet. Congrats on that; you would likely not have been immediately Scriv'd back in the classic era of NES.
The guys are slipping. Someone references a good looking female and NO ONE posts:
Wow. Yikes, she really did rub y'all the wrong way huh?

And that sir, is what we refer to as a "tell."

only I'm betting I'm a hell of a lot better looking!

May this haunt your dreams forever.
I'm a medical professional (and clearly better educated than you) and for personal as well as professional reasons I don't wish to walk out of a club, after enjoying some hard earned free time, and having my clothes, hair, skin, etc stink like cigarettes.
You mean the War of Northern Aggression? LOL

Clearly, the random stuff flung your way BEFORE this comment was unwarranted... but you'll find that your statement that you are clearly better educated than the forum members will greatly endear you to the forum members Remember to listen next time when Nicole tells you you just laid a big egg, OK?
And seriously - if you try to pick a fight with everybody who makes a less than desirable comment, you'll be up to thousands of posts in a few months. Take the useful, ignore most of the bad stuff, squash a few selected bugs and you'll enjoy the forum a lot.
