If you want to have discussions about "Guns, and Just Guns", there's this place called TheFiringLine.com. No BS, no cursing or slurs, just emotionless guns.
The good things about AR15.com are both the information and the people. You form bonds and make acquaintences (and sometimes a nemesis) with the people you interact with. Plus, since trading/buying/selling is BIG between members of the board, it's nice to have a reputation and a personality to match to the person you're dealing with (i.e. I'm not gonna go buy $500 worth of parts from McUzi, because I know better). Sometimes, hearing other people bitch and moan can help out - when you have to do the same thing yourself someday.
If anything, AR15.com is a place for ranting away life's daily annoyances, am I right?
...thought so [;)]
