Not so. While it is true that all the childish bickering and insults won't make the target of the insults leave, it DOES make make people that are here to discuss guns either leave all together or at the very least quit posting. That is why many forums that USED to have a significant number of knowledgeable posters and many relevant threads have seen a vast reduction in the number of those knowledgeable posters and relevant threads over the years. Question for those that have been here for a long time, is this place as informative and useful with a similar number of knowledgeable posters today as it was 15-20 years ago??. If not, why do you supposed that is?.

No, not even close to the number of knowledgeable posters this board had 15-20 years ago. Several factors at play, many have passed on to the great hunting ground in the sky, but the single biggest factor in my mind is Karen's quest for ideological purity, divergent thought and intelligent discourse are attacked in the name of "unity".
