"Praise in Public, Criticize in Private."

[OV-1D]

  Beautiful mind Mike ,a beautiful mind .

[gebe]

Yes indeed, beautiful, beautiful mind but sometimes you have to praise in public AND criticize in public.

If done without malice, BOTH can be forthright. Let's carry on without malice and continue with good thoughts about the the guns we all love.

. . . . . . . .  Let's carry on without malice and continue with good thoughts about the the guns we all love.

Great advice . . . . pew, ping; pew, ping; pew, ping.


Or after I come in from the range, my wife would say "I heard plenty of pews, but no so many pings".  I have plenty of steel targets, , , , , sometimes I hit them.

"Praise in Public, Criticize in Private."

I do not always do that, but I think it is the best policy. One thing about a place like this is that stuff stays around forever. Barring a server meltdown, folks years, maybe decades, from now will be reading what we post. Sometimes when I am trying to locate some old post or topic that had some information that I know exists but have forgotten, I will search NAA and come across stuff that reminds me of past flame wars that are best forgotten. I have contributed to the wars, but only against folks who deserved it!


A site like this is kind of like a family. Every family has stuff that happened and is part of the family history, but is not a good part of the history. I know folks who cannot be part of a family gathering without bringing up negative stuff about folks who are dead and gone, or at least not present. True or not, I wish they would just let it go ...


That does not happen on the Internet. Nothing goes ...

Life is too short to be mean or hateful to anyone. That just puts you down at their level. Let it slide and be the better person. And, never argue with a fool or an idiot. Onlookers may not know the difference.

Those are some wonderful and beautiful responses!

Yes, I want to live in a world of discussing guns and having people with the same mindset here who love guns and also love people.

Get in a circle, hold hands, sing com-ba-ya.
