Curious to know who the whiner was, haven't seen anything consequential posted since the whining reopened the thread. Was hoping for something substantive.

Freedom is something you take. Respect is something you earn. Equality is something you whine about not being given.

whiner wasn't married | Well you win Cliff, I wonder how many good members have fell victim to what I can see as a very seasoned troll. What I can't figure out is how our administrators are letting this happen. You take a sincere inquiry and make a joke out of it and try your best to alienate the individual asking it and then hijack the entire string and it goes largely unnoticed, no wonder this place seems to be dying. So whatever it does for your ego, (yes you have officially ran me off) Not that I feel challenged in the least intellectually just quite simply I tire of swatting at fly that I have no chance of doing away with. In short if you guys can put up with this more power to you I certainly do not have the time nor the energy to help defend the forum that we all can enjoy if no one else is interested in helping to do so...... ALL YOURS CLIFF

From what I could read before you happened to edit every one of your posts, I'd be willing to say that you were the troll. I typically don't take sides or involve myself in matters such as this post, but I'd think really hard about the people's character you so adamantly put into question on here. I have been here for years, off and on, and I have not seen any true displays of plain disrespect until you started this thread. And I've read quite a few questionable posts here, many including my own, and have not received any negative remarks or acquiesce.

To the o.p., why didn't you get a hold of the retailer you bought the scope from about your ring problem? "Ring height"is not usually warranty concern.

[QUOTE=LRSMike] From what I could read before you happened to edit every one of your posts, I'd be willing to say that you were the troll. I typically don't take sides or involve myself in matters such as this post, but I'd think really hard about the people's character you so adamantly put into question on here. I have been here for years, off and on, and I have not seen any true displays of plain disrespect until you started this thread. And I've read quite a few questionable posts here, many including my own, and have not received any negative remarks or acquiesce.
Look friend I just wanted to tell of my experience with NIGHTFORCE and ask my fellow members opinion about the firm and any experiences they might've had that they would like to share. Did I do a good job of it? Obviously not.
But as all here that have read this string knows NIGHTFORCE has made right the situation at which I was concerned. So their character our practice is not in question at this point.
My grievance was based on the fact that after my question was posted It seemed to go immediately to let's theorize as to all that's wrong with you that may have made this happen.
Frankly it seems like a certain number of our members are poised and ready to make sport picking apart anything that anybody reaches out for help with then when you express concern that things are being handled in this way there labeled a whiner.
Though you may be right as to my judging the character of these individuals too harshly and too quickly. But consider the fact that I only have what I see and experience upon returning to our forum when asking this my first question in several months.
I have to admit while trying to avoid a pissing match I ended up contributing to it through the frustration of this unexpected drama intended or not.
Simply put IMHO shouldn't we as members respect and appreciate each other's presence and be more interested in PROMOTING OUR FORUM by offering understanding and good knowledge based information. This rather than seemingly seizing every opportunity to attack each other personally? Is this what has happened? Or do I need to learn how to take a joke?
Admittedly though while reading my last post I have most certainly given into that exact behavior as a form of retaliation. You know this guy may be one of the coolest cats on the planet and I may have simply taken him wrong from the start given the fact that I don't know who he Is or what his intentions are.
I don't know if there is anything to it, but frankly I was taken completely offguard at the way this went down and most likely could have reacted better. But I would simply hate to see our forum turn into a place where six or eight people dominate and create a home for themselves by making everyone else that tries to participate uncomfortable and afraid to ask questions for fear of humiliation.
Not saying that this is the way it is, just saying that this is the way it seems upon my return. I do appreciate and respect your opinion as it seems sincere and I do see where you might have arrived at it as your deduction was well put.
This considered maybe I am judging too harshly rather than considering that there might be humor intended, admittedly I am guilty of misperception on occasion given my intense schedule and my severe disdain for that's sort of intended behavior.
One thing is for sure I am not above considering these things and excepting responsibility where it is due as my interest simply lie in the preservation of our forum and when possible trying to contribute to an environment that we all can enjoy.
Thanks for your input.

Hang around here long enough and your toes are bound to be stepped on. 99.9% of the time it was unintentional, but it happens and most of us don't want to back down. I think that is what may have happened here. Hopefully everyone can step back, take a deep breath, and get back on topic.

Sure ----post some pics. of your rig. I see JG and Big Stick (Nobody) are getting reacquainted over at 24hr. Rep if you want some entertainment you should meet Larry (Nobody) from Alaska, not the Wyoming Larry. Although either of them can cause lots of fun.

Wowza. Lets lock this thread. No one is accomplishing anything. This back and forth stuff is just causing more contention. Its pointless to let it go on.

When some one buys a 5k scope he does not expect to get the wrong rings with it so he can stay quiet or he says some thing. Here obviouslly you decided to punish the guy who talked about his negative experiences with a highly aclaimed scope manufacturer.

REP is willing to start over in the best interest of the forum and get back on topic. Are you?

Let's all check fire here, myself included.
Glad you didn't leave, REP. Stick around and have some fun. A lot of stuff wrote in the board, just doesn't translate well at times.

Before I lock this thread, I will volunteer this: this is an internet forum where all we have to work with is written word. It is different than speaking with someone where the intonation conveys a part of the meanin.
Another point is that as far as internet forums go, this is as civilized as you will find and even then some skin thickening is highly recommended.
