Dare I comment?
I come to this board to contribute contructive questions and answers (more of the former than the latter) and lurk and learn about fine vintage guns - a topic I find fascinating and engrossing. Along the way I am humbled and inspired by the generosity and fellowship of like-minded people, and try to live up to that in whatever way I reasonably can.
I enjoy watching and sometimes participate in good natured banter among the constructive contributions on a number of boards; this, however, is no longer good-natured, is more robust than mere banter, and dilutes the constructive contributions. It's undignified, unseemly, and needlessly poisons an otherwise great community, one which, given it's rarefied subject matter, I'd have thought well above such rubbish.
It's not what I come here for.
I'd like it to stop.
Stopping it will probably require that one or more parties - with grace and dignity - walks away and refuses the bait.
Who can rise to the occasion?
From what I've seen all three online personae are capable.
