Got a "notice" on one forum.......I wasn't giving enough "Likes".......I guess if you post something you are supposed to kike ALL the answers....even if they say "You are a Dumas".......LIKE.....LOL.

Dirty socks......."Get your dirty socks on Amazon dot com".......

I was informed on one forum that I could not know anything I was talking about, and should be banned from the forum, because I was not giving out enough likes. This apparently made me a bad person, and therefore a stupid person. Supposedly I am communally responsible for social justice on the internet and if I do not make everyone feel affirmed and needed I am not doing my job.


Apparently we live in a world where "popularity" trumps knowledge and "giving back" is more important than accomplishment. Sounds like some kind of government program to me.

I am of the opinion that if a forum has a "Like" button they should also incorporate a "dumbass question/answer" button also.

I also think that many forums should have a feature where any member with a specific number of posts could close a thread after 4 pages of "I love my Mora", "I love my 10/22", or after the third consecutive one word reply of "cool", "great", or "awesome".

A lot of people think like that. Rep, post count and what not aren't really great indicators of knowledge. Even apparent knowledge isn't that great if you take Nativedude into consideration.

The problem with the internet is everyone is an expert after a google search. But, over time, just like in the people we deal with in real life, you figure out who seems to have real first hand experience and who is just repeating something that sounded cool on a forum or youtube.

We have some good knife makers on here. Some guys that know their guns. Some good cooks and preservers. Some guides and trappers. Guys and gals just getting started and the same with a wealth of knowledge and their bodies just can't do it anymore like they could. (I like to learn from them. Because they have probably figured out the easiest way and I am lazier than all!)
