Can we put something in the stickies here about people making posts like this:

"What is the best weapon for (home defense, legal carry, and so forth-reasonable questions)?"

My wits.

My hands and feet. They're better than any weapon.

My running shoes.

My mind.

Obviously, your mind IS your best defense in a violent confrontation (unless you're stupid). Obviously, the best option in many (most) situations is to get away. But everyone knows that! Hearing people say things like "I carry my wits" is like hearing someone tell a bad joke at a party and then looking around expectantly for a reaction. Here's the deal: It's NOT an original thought, it's NOT something you and only you haver ever thought of. If people want to discuss weapons/tactics either help them out or don't post.

Of course, as soon as someone makes a comment like the ones in bold above, people start attacking him for it. Then the thread gets off track and the orginal question is never fully answered or discussed. I'd like to see fewer "wise-guy" posts and more actual discussion, but maybe that's just me.

TTT as the problem gets worse...

I agree completely...we dont go on here to be lectured about common sense. Most of us aren't 14 years old.

Yep, that's what I'm saying.

Actually I think a lot more are than you think ...or act like it anyway. WT is better than most but a forum is a forum.

I agree. I browse this forum because I want to learn more about specific weapons and their use.

If people have a moral objection to using weapons they should stay out, if they come here just to post anti-gun rhetoric they should be asked to leave.

It's no different than a member going into the Standup forum and berating the posters for cross-training in boxing instead of being 100% devoted to BJJ.

I'll look into it. Sorry for any absence of Mod presence around here, Gregster's been on a bit of a hiatus.

we need entertaining threads as well....

I just think Weapons and Tactics is a strange forum..as some comments are made strictly from misconceptions and hearsay. Not a lot of people have weapons/tactical training...so you get a ton of off the wall questions....Greg is always fair and balanced (as he is more likely to point out weaknesses in an argument than to flame you for it)...so you also get moderation that is less likely to smoke people for asking questions that other might deem "fucking retarded"....
