Threads You started and wished you hadn't

[gottabkiddin]

I don't remember if I started the thread, or if I just made a post in it, but when I first joined DC I was a big advocate for the auto loader... I actually ragged on the revolver pretty bad and said how it was not a good choice for a defense choice and yada yada yada....

Since then I have opened my eyes "and mind" to a whole new realm of concealed carry, and that has included the revolver. Needless to say, I no longer feel that way now and to this day I still feel perfectly fine with eating that big piece of humble pie that I so well deserved. I must say, that since joining DC, I have become a better man, as well as a much more informed one thanks to DC and it's members... Now as a general rule I try not to start threads that could lead to arguments and bad feelings, but hey, I'm only human..

Valid question. Probably the most recognized definition is Wireless Markup Language. However in this context, I was using the acronym to refer to Weapon Mounted Light.

Oh yeah...I remember that one...quite a bit of mud flinging over a weapon light.

Sometimes it's the most innocent,meaningless threads that excite the most emotion...Go figure

Oh.. I've had quite a few nasty threads that I started. In many cases I simply neglected to emphasize that it was a hypothetical question, just for curiosity's sake. I also failed to take into account the totally different personalities I would encounter on this forum as compared to other forums that I've been on. Now that I'm a little more familiar with the people on here, I have learned how to properly phrase questions so that they are not mis-interpreted, or taken out of context. I've also learned just to simply not post certain things at all knowing that it will explode into a huge controversy.

It is worth pointing out, thought, that the controversial topics is what keeps this place going and keeps it interesting. We all have different opinions, but we all have the same goals in mind. So I think we all agree more than we disagree, but sometimes the little things can make us seem miles apart. However, I think I'm done being the subject of controversial threads, I'll let somebody else start them.

Yea, OK Adric...I remember saying that also, then....well, you know.
Besides, I've learned that you don't need to start one to end up being controversial. In fact, thats usually where I mess up!
You are right though, it would be boring if everyone agreed

[Mike1956]

there was that thread about women and carry....... "Does This Gun Make my Butt Look Big?"........and then the fight started.

Won't make that mistake again.

Man, that butt makes the gun look small.

Man, that butt makes the gun look small.

Don't ever tell your wife/significant other that, especially if she carries too

I regret starting the 'Alzheimers and guns" thread. Oh, wait, that wasn't me was it?

[QKShooter]

Any member that starts a thread asking what kind of "clip" they should buy for their firearm
will be sorry that they opened that thread....within the first three replies.

[gottabkiddin]

I just ordered a Clip holder for my extra Clip that goes with my M&P9c....

Anyone know if this is a good "Clip" carrier?



















Sorry QKShooter.... I couldn't resist...

[Arborigine]

I have a some stripper clips for my model 98 Mauser.

It seems that often what was intended as irony or tongue in cheek satire get misunderstood in forums. Subtlety and nuance sometimes don't translate well when posted on the internet.
