Just curious....
How many mid pack F-Class LR shooters have won their State Championship?
How many have won it three times?
How many have a Bronze at a World Championship?
How many will stop their day and talk with you about a question or problem?
How about we leave Erik's character, classifications, and win records alone and discuss his positions on load development instead?
That said, I would not sit still if folks were attacking your characters, classifications, or records either.
My apologies if it feels like I am calling you out on an opinion about Erik and admit you are entitled to it, and I realize anyone who is selling products or making videos becomes fair game to some degree. You are entitled not to like someone or what they are selling.
But in his defense, Erik readily admits when he needs to change a past position and has done it publicly and often. That you are entitled not to like anyone is okay, but should we be entitled to belittle his classification cards, win records, and accomplishments when those are facts?
Does this personal attack on (fill-in-the-blank) make SH a better place to work out load development, or does it threaten to make it a toxic playground for trolls?
Not to mention that he is a very friendly guy and you would probably rather count him as your friend than take away his records if you were not letting your keyboards get ahead of you.
You don't have to buy what he is selling or like his sense of humor, but SH would still be better if it didn't sound like a such a playground.
I'll have your backs and hope you have mine if a day ever comes, but today we needed to have Erik's back cause we are letting our egos go too far. A civilized, adult, criticism of a position is constructive, but if we keep using venom here folks who can actually help will stay away.
Carry on, as always, YMMV
