Great post Larry.A fellow member, who is also a fellow member on another site I was on (no it was not ilovesprig), sent me a PM about this one, explaining that I might like the vibe better over here, and he was right.
At the other sight, ya go and ask a sincere question, and that community just seems to revel in busting your balls and being over-bearing d!cks. It's almost like they are purposefully trying to do a "trail-by-fire" thing of roasting a mofo just to see if he'll put up with it... first... before they bother to then finally be ok with you.
They like to be demeaning to those with lesser experience. And also... they seem to have a problem with people who post anything more than a one-line response to anything. That is... unless it's talking about anything related to their favorite community specific Duck-hunting place.
We can disagree or agree. But at the end, helping each other.
Best
