Some might be shooters while others could be a 16yr old with his bedroom door locked lest mom catches him looking at firearms. That's me! I wish anyway. After months of reading a guys posts, you know his marital status, fincial status, seen his pic, know his hobbies which we all share, Hell guys I know more about most of you than I do the people I have worked with for 15 years. IYAOYAS467 Kind of summed it up in the least amount of words. We all have one hell of alot in common. This isn't a dating game board so if you take the heing and sheing out. There's really not much reason for BS. I saw the movie Shallow Hal but knew what's in a person's head is more important than what they look like before that. NO! THE FAT GIRL WAS REALLY UGLY and I'm not planning on marrying any of you shitheads either. |

Yah, what's creepy is I know intimate details about you people, and I don't even know what you look like!
I also think a lot of people here take this board way too seriously. |

Quoted: It is only anonymous if you want it to be. I have been fortunate enough to meet many people from this board. I feel fortunate that a place like this exists. I hope that you will realize one day what you are truly missing about this place. My comment was meant to convey the fact that you can be fairly comfortable with your anonymity here considering how much personal information is shared. I see people freely offering their names at times but no one demanding except for transactions. I think the cyber names (and avatars) here are very entertaining and fun to use and I actually prefer them to the 3D names. |

There is a picture of me in my profile.
I go to gunstores and hear things like, "Hesse is a government contractor" and "you won't find an FFL who will do a transfer for less than $40." Now ask me again why I hang out here. Oh - and I'm not wearing nay pants either [;)] I am a regular member of two other on-line "communities" - one more actively than here. I also post occasionally at several others. Some of us (*cough* KBaker *cough*) have some serious internet presence and are some prolific internetizens. I have met several folks from this board and others in person - like others have said - the internet can be a "weird" anti-social "lifestyle" if you want it to be and if you let it be. Also, it can facilitate or add to your normal lifestyle. Since the reason most of us are here is that we like to go OUTSIDE and shoot rifles, I doubt that that is a problem with folks here. Since my screen name is my actual name, one of these days I will likely bump into someone who recognizes me from here. Why is that so bad? Is it more "normal" to sit on a couch and watch TV for hours at a time? I don't even have a TV right now. There are some places on the net that definitely freak me out. I hesitate to even post a link to an online masturbation forum I found last weekend - though I freely admit that I read the thing for hours with an odd fascination. I might be a bit concerned about meeting THOSE people in public. Arfcommers do not worry me in the same way. Though I'm sure we have our share of wankers, we don't focus our discussions around the subject [:D] You have over 100 posts - and you think this place is weird? Perhaps you have a self-esteem issue? I suggest therapy - even if it is only TexRdnk style. |

Are you feeling left out, and that's why you are bringing this up?
I probably have a bit of a reputation around here, and although I'm not sure exactly what it is, I'm sure there's many here that don't like me. With that said, I've had people offer me all sorts of help with things in the "real world" from this board, just based on having seen me post here. I have also offered to help others based on not much more than that. If you think it's creepy, I suggest you shut off your computer, head out into the sunlight, and spend some time in the "real world" with all of your "real friends", instead of wasting our time and yours here. I'm amazed that so many here have bothered to try and change your mind. In my opinion, just like America, if you dont' like it, you can get the fuck out. You won't affect my quality of life one iota one way or the other. Stupid-ass threads like this won't piss me off, and once you crawl away and die, it won't make me cry or miss you. |

Quoted: you get to "know" someone without really knowing them Who says that I don't KNOW the many of the other individuals on the other end of the line? If you don't KNOW who you're chatting with, INTRODUCE YOURSELF. This is done easily by going to your respective Hometown board, find your state/area, post there, setup a time & place to meet, go shooting together, meet each other, and have a great time. The Minnesota Members have created a nice little AR15.com community which meets from time to time for shooting, and having a generally great time. I suggest you visit your Hometown board & get to KNOW the other ar15.com members in your area. |

If it's difficult to articulate your thoughts, or to even have thoughts beyond the [i]"Gee, this sucks!"[/i], you're NOT going to be an active, contributing participant on an Internet discussion board. Best bet right now is to stick to lurking, or stay away .... stay FAR away! Chris |

Quoted: How exactly do you explain to people "I read it on an internet bulletin board" or "this guy on an internet bulletin board"? I barely bring myself to mention AR15.COM. in conversation. Words like "armchair warrior" and "keyboard commando" can be assiociated with the internet. Just state it as fact and ask them to refute it with same. Almost everything on this board is cited with a reference. This board is rock-solid with good advice. There are too many here who have been there, done that, with everything out there. Make them prove that you are wrong. It will never happen. Bob |

Quoted: tomorrow, i may chalk this post up to booze, but for tonight... the internet is mind-to-mind. the internet is truth. the web takes away that which we use to judge others superficially, and leaves only that which matters. the Chinese say "alcohol does not create faults, it discovers them." the same can be said about anonymity. the web shows us, and shows everyone else, exactly who we are in the dark. any persona one uses online, that same facet is resident in he who uses it. in text, we are who we are, (even in fragments) for the written word reduces our vocabulary of lies. in life, we lie with movement, and stillness, and sound. we lie, not only with our mouths, but with our eyes, and with our hands, and with our tone. a woman lied to me tonight. she said nothing to me, but a curve told me that she was beautiful, and a glance told me that she was profound. a smile told me that she was actual, but six words told me that she was a chimera. in the world of the rest of our senses, she would be thought of as something to claim. but in our world of twenty-six letters, we wouldn't remember her name. what we read here, my friends, is truth. not the lines we type, but the wholeness of what we say, and how we say it. the name that you choose here is far closer to your secret self than the name you use in life. how you are here is how you are, and i am proud to be among you. yours truly, E [b] Well said brother.

Okay, sorry all. I am not a teenager, but a college-educated adult who has a love of firearms.
I guess my point is I find it "interesting" that very intimate details of a person's life is readily posted for all to see on this gun board. Nothing wrong with that, if it doesn't bother the poster. But to each his own. I have to admit, that for a board based on the discussion of hardware, ar15 has a much tighter group cohesion than say, Bladeforums or Candlepowerforums. No offense meant to anyone - I was just having some fun with my posts (oh come on, like no one has done that before)! Thanks for the comments. |

Well here is my .02 cents worth on the internet discussion board thing, particularly this board. To me, it is an outstanding way for people of like mind, from disparate places to gather together and chat and form bonds that have no need of anything other than a shared common cause. IE our enjoyment of our second amendment rights.
This is bar none, the finest internet board around, and I will soon be a contributing member when I fire up my CC and join. As far as creeping you out, in some undefined way, I would say fella... you got some issues. Some of the folks on this board have time and again shown what a great and spread out family ARFCOM is. Prayer requests all the time, psych support, relationship support... what else can one want out of a friendship? Although I dont post like others here, I feel I have a good grasp on who and what those of us here do stand for and its good enough for me. I have only run into a VERY FEW idiots on this board, and only ONE flat out effin moron and he is as big a moron here as he is on the other gun boards I peruse, but enough of that crap. I love this place! Thanks for lettin' me hang out Ed Sr. and Goatboy... I will join very soon. Dramborleg out. |

If you like the board, fine. I have no problem with hanging out at ar15 and learning about/sharing info on firearms and gear, and other related issues. But when people talk about getting "support" from members of ar15 when going through a divorce or some tragedy - I just don't get it. I'm not being a troll this time. In times of personal tragedy real support comes from friends and family - people you really know, not from words typed on a computer screen by an anonymous user. I know some of you have met eachother in person, and that's fine. I think when that happens you move beyond the internet virtual world to the real world. As with similar ways to meet people (pen pal, personals, etc) a measure of caution is to be excercised (at least at first). So, that's okay. |

I for one am sick and tired of your insistant ramblings about your disagreements with our community. The way this site goes is that we get invloved. We have more than once extended financial,legal and emotional support to our members in their time of need. You can rest assured that we check out the situation first. Noone is being fraudulant, and if anyone asks that we discontinue our input/support then we oblige. No I dont find it creepy and neither does anyone else. But we do think that you are being a jackass. see a pattern here? Your opinons are welcome but trying to force those opinions off on others or annoying us with constant ramblings on the same old subject is not. so your a minority? big deal. your not a victim and your not special. grow up and actually try to get along with everyone here. you might be suprised what you find. |

From Imbroglio's link:
Semen Aversion If you ever wanted to taste your own semen but lose the urge after ejaculating, here's how to get over the apprehension. ... After doing this during several of your sessions, you won't have any problem tasting your semen after full ejaculation. OK, this one makes the forum I found look tame. Of course, the one I "came" across had "members" submitting videos of themselves - so I guess it depends on your perspective. |

It doesnt matter if they are family, friends, therapists, people on suicide phone lines, or people you only know through the internet. The healing factor you need in times of tragedy comes from being able to speak your thoughts and having someone there to listen and offer support. If I had a loved one sick I would be elated to see a hundred people who only know me through this media take the effort to offer me wishes of support. Think about it. Say you get a divorce. Co-workers and such may say they feel sorry for you but do they really mean it or are just being polite because they work with you. Now take some guy on this board from say Texas. This guy is under no obligation to respond to me. He can just ignore the post and I will never know he even read it. But suppose he does respond. That means he does care and is not just offering lip service. Just my angle on the whole situation while sitting here a work. |

Go buy yourself a clue, this is the best and most vital site for those of the second amendment community on the net bar none. Dont like it? Dont want comments? Tough. Dram out |

Dram out Damn, he pissed of Dram. This may be a first. We need some kind of [:K] award for "Above the Call" action. I'm afraid CleanCut, you are a kid to the internet. It is not uncommon for forums that have common intrests for the members to become friends and know each other socially. This board is a bit stronger than that for we share a common advesary which develops a commradery I haven't felt since my service days. In fact, alot if not most of our members are veterans. It's alright here to ask questions no matter how diverse the topic but I would suggest you stop talking down to these guys for A, they will freeze you out, B, they push you out, or C, You really tick em off and they kick your ass. |

You mean like McUZI, Imbroglio, and Blaze-of-Glory? Their stories precede them.

Quoted: Okay, sorry all. I am not a teenager, but a college-educated adult who has a love of firearms. I guess my point is I find it "interesting" that very intimate details of a person's life is readily posted for all to see on this gun board. Nothing wrong with that, if it doesn't bother the poster. But to each his own. [red]I have to admit, that for a board based on the discussion of hardware, ar15 has a much tighter group cohesion than say, Bladeforums or Candlepowerforums.[/red] No offense meant to anyone - I was just having some fun with my posts (oh come on, like no one has done that before)! Thanks for the comments. Maybe because most of us don't consider this JUST an internet forum. WE KNOW EACHOTHER. I personally have seen my arfcom buddies more than my highschool/college/lawschool buddies since august. I think I've managed just about every other week to see these great people. So when you look at this as "creepy" maybe its because we're not hiding behind online personas. Once again, WE KNOW EACHOTHER. |
