Suggestions of Trolling :haha: .
I stumbled across @ when she responded to a genuine question I had in the Newbie Section. My initial reaction to her unhelpful comments, was that she was arrogant, derogatory, belittling and uncaring. However, since then, I have read many of her posts and have changed my mind.
I think she's intelligent, knowledgeable, honest and of course the most obvious, she's opinionated! So what changed? Simple........the more posts of hers that I read, the more I learned a little about her sense of humour and her honesty. I actually enjoy reading her posts and seeing how people respond to her. I can almost predict the response by those who take the bait she casts. I'm not sure she was Trolling though......that made me laugh!
When you debate on a public forum, expect to get people's opinions, if you don't like the opinion, you can't berate the author for responding (you invited the response).
My opinion about @
maddmatt 's question is no, the sport should not be proactive surrounding concerns of long term recoil injuries etc. The government already acts like a Nanny state and we don't need anyone else looking after us. This is not a compulsory hobby, we do it by choice and should do so accepting any such injury, while mitigating any risk as best we can. As educated people, we accept the risks of driving a motor vehicle and take our own precautions. We don't need someone to tell us that in order to protect you from injury, we're changing the law so that maximum engine sizes will be 1.1 Litres. Not every driver crashes, not every clay shooter suffers recoil related injuries. Quite often, the fault lies with the individual, not the equipment...............they were always destined to be statistic!
. Point of interest on caps - we wear them but my husband removes his sometimes when he overheats but on Sunday the ref asked him to put his cap back on as his particular stand did seem to attract clay shards.
