Greb147 6,809 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) The internet has made many a man a hero. Weak men become titans at the tap of a button. There's banter and there's banter, the thing is though if you can dish it you better expect to eat it as well. Let's be honest we've all spat our dummies out on here at some point, to expected on occasions. Edited November 19, 2020 by Greb147 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greb147 6,809 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Truth be told none of us must be wired up right to spend so much time on here talking of subjects most wouldn't dream of with friends and family. The lads I used to hunt with would shake their heads and tut if I told them I was on a hunting forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Establishment, the politicians, the media don't take any notice of "Joe Public", so where can we try to get OUR point across ? Well, on these forums of our peers and equals, that's where ! Yes, these forums attract the lunatics, cowards, charlatans and pretenders, but ignore them, they are easily spotted.Listen to, and converse with, the guys who you think make sense. You may not allways agree with them, but remember, everyone has a point of view ! Cheers. 11 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I get you mate and I suppose it's better than FB really as at least most of us share similar interests. I must admit one of the main reasons I'm on here is cos I don't get out to do the thing that brought me here in the first place.

I'm the same Stan, I'm not ashamed to say I've learnt loads on here, there's loads of knowledgeable people on loads of subjects.... And like you say there is such diverse language, terms, knowledge and thought processes depending on location when a decent yap gets going it is interesting to hear others points of views... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetro 5,349 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 I enjoy coming on here. Like others have already said, it's nice to hear what's happening in other parts. There's a lot of tips in a lot of aeras that you can pick up on certain subjects. And there's lad that are willing to help out if they can, even if you never met or likely to meet them.
