I'm all for spirited debate, I have been smacked down and accepted it and moved on, as well as hashed it out with others here.
I don't want a plant, a troll, a code pink or KOS, instigator, I already have TAB and FQ to provide alternative points of view.

If someone can back it up, be steadfast in their beliefs or opinions, that will earn even the respect of not just myself but others.
The old phrase, I may disagree with you, but will defend your right to say it holds true here.
The defensive nature comes from a "lecturing tone" or some kind of condescending newbie telling me where I am wrong. It's a complicated world, and God knows we are different folks.
I try to back up my point of view with FACT, and enjoy a true debate. It's nothing personal and will congratulate or answer another post regarding sight adjustments, cleaning products, or aftermarket accessories for your "whatever" firearm and keep on keepin on.
We have all seen the trolls come and go, and I do not want this forum to become one of the "others" either.
The bar it set high here and you better bring it if you have an opposing point of view, but I can respect that, (may not like it), but can respect it and move on.
