I can't remember how many times I've seen myself or others post a question to a forum (here and elsewhere) and the responses generally tend to be some form of "you didn't satisfy my completely subjective and arbitrary requirements for figuring this out on your own so instead of being helpful I'm going to be a condescending dickface to a stranger on the internet to help ease my own insecurities and try to look cool", that then get blindly upvoted by fellow insecure asshats.

Does this happen in every hobby? Are people really that arrogant and dependent on others' approval or is shooting really just 85% assholes with a few decent folks sprinkled in? I hope this isn't just another once enjoyable thing that has been ruined by the anonymity of the internet and hairy knuckled cavemen typing away in their mom's basement.

Oh look, another try hard internet fucknut with a tiny dick. Shocking.
You obviously need this:

because you are such a cunt.
 
It does happen in every hobby I have participated in. Newbie comes in asks an extremely vague question. People try to pin what they are asking to help them better because the answer depends. This is where it seems to break down for the mush brained imbreads among us.

Then the real special mush brained imbreads go cry about it in the bearpit. And actually receive what they are crying about.

You’ve been here over 2 years and are just now seeing this as if it’s something new? SH has never been for those of thin and Pasty skin. It’s actually pretty tame now as compared to earlier years. The change has been an actual taming of the site because of the influx of all those of tender constitutions.

As explained above, snarky answers are more often the result of a very general question with no details or a very specific question without any specifics.

If you really have a need for an answer, maybe thicken your skin and actually read the questions asked of you in return instead of getting all whiny or belligerent.

If you just posted this to start a pissing contest, you’re in the correct place though. 👍🏻
 
Mil or moa?

In all seriousness, I asked a very pointed, and specific series of questions, with qualifiers and caveats as-needed, but some folks just want to pretend they're the ultimate resource on things and make folks jump through hoops for the privilege of accessing their vast knowledge.

This specific post was just to stir the pot though.

I'm starting to think you might literally be mentally retarded. Poor lil guy. I'm sure the orderlies will be by soon to give you your meds and tuck you back in.
Close, I'm responding to an autistic, retarded, stupid cunt's thread. You are someone who feels entitled to be the center of attention. You're the kid that learned first hand early on what an atomic wedgy was. You were stuffed in a locker so many times they sent your mail there.

You can't help being a cunt. Look at how you were raised.

Depends on the subject and where you are posting said questions. The technical forums are generally just technical in nature. The bear Pit? :LOL:

You do realize that you're the one sitting here giving me the attention, right? So which of us is the real cunt here?
