I thought your initial post came across as quite hostile. You also don't need to call someone a slang word for penis for it to be seen seen as "personal". You normally come across as quite level headed, although not so much in that initial post.

The problem likely lies in how things are perceived in text, although I'm not trying to vouch for anyone as they are more than capable of defending themselves. It's why I prefer to talk to people over the phone as opposed to via email at work.

Ok, that's an understandable interpretation, clearly I could've taken some more time writing in a clearer version of what I was saying. I don't particularly need or indeed welcome the assessment of my personality if truth be told, to me personally that comes across as condescending in the extreme on a very personal level going far beyond anything airsoft related, but I'm fairly sure that's not your intention so hey, I'm a' keep on strollin'.

I very much agree in the vast majority of situations, where practicable I'd rather speak to people on the phone than in any written format. Sadly the world is full of people who aren't able to think about how the things they say will come across even when actually speaking, but everything written down certainly takes on a negative intonation that it wouldn't do if spoken, 100-fold so when between strangers; takes a close relationship to take the piss in a text or facebok message.

Before you continue arguing with CK, may I suggest you take a look at his posts in the "what have you bought" thread.

He certainly knows what he is talking about.

lol, cheers, but I wouldn't claim that spunking a ton of money of gear necessarily makes me know what I'm talking about.

I have a reasonable idea about some stuff, but that's come from spending innumerable hours looking at reviews and articles produced by those far more experienced and knowledgeable than myself combined with simply experimenting and trialling things 'in the field' (airsoft and occasionally in a work context). There's loads of cool guy operators in airsoft who spend tens of thousands on nothing but Crye, but it doesn't necessarily mean they know anything about what actually constitutes good, effective/efficient gear; of course taking in to account there are exceptions in all instances. I've nothing against those people, it's their disposable income and they are more than welcome to do whatever they so please with it. But when some footballer buys a crazy Hyper performance sports car, it doesn't make him an awesome designer of motor vehicles.

I'm not trying to argue with anyone, we've just kinda misunderstood and overreacted. Now it's all good (at least on my side) :) So i'm hoping for more productive posts with some valuable insights :)

Your referring to other people as genitalia is the sort of entirely immature thing that makes debates get 'out of hand' in the first place. You're in no position to throw out memes as if to somehow imply it's what everyone else did that was a problem. If you don't want things to 'escalate', check before you assume, establish what's actually going on and don't use childish insults in the first place.

Dont mean to be funny but a fair amount of what you wrote in this thread comes across as condescending. Maybe you didnt mean it that way but its still a bit of a pot, kettle black situation.I think we all can post or read things that are taken wrong but its generally best just to let it go.

Regarding the topic the answer is in the title.

Opinions

Its what we all have some like to spend lots and get the very best others dont and both choices are correct to the individual who makes it.

Wouldnt it be boring if we all agreed and bought the same thing.

And as you'll note from the above, when I perceive that people are doing that to me I often do let it go because I realise they probably aren't meaning to. I don't claim to be perfect and I'm sure you're the same.

I don't feel a need, but I appreciate the offer.
