Now, that's hardly a good attitude to take, Brad, ol' boy. This forum is big enough for all of us. If some folks want to be more expansive in their reviews, that's their option. If others want to be more discreet, that's
their prerogative. You shouldn't get all huffy and go telling folks that they ought to pack up and go elsewhere (especially since many of them were here before you
).
Not to belabor the point, since we've been down this road before, but some feel (perhaps rightly) that posting
more information, rather than less, just serves to help LEO refine their targets. You have to remember: LEO has
limited resources and
they cannot target every AMP in town. So, they will apply their limited resources to those AMPs that they know or suspect of being "eggregious violators. "
Let's use an example for analogy. Crooks know that most houses in decent neighborhoods have things inside worth stealing. Now, let's say their are 10 houses in a neighborhood. Suppose one of the 10 displays wealth ostentatiously or one of the 10 puts a sign in their front yard that reads "This is a Gun-Free House." Guess which house the crook is going to target? (Hint: It ain't likely to be the house that has a used pickup truck, with a Confederate flag in the back window, parked outside.)
So, now you should (hopefully) be able to understand the perspective that others like Guitarman and Jake and others are talking about. If not, well, fine. But, just don't expect that they'll be willing to share much info with you, either in the open forum or via PM. Them's the hard facts, bub. Life's tough, and it's tougher for those who are chronically stupid, careless, or just plain hardheaded. Now, before you take any offense, I'm
not (repeat,
not) calling you stupid. I'm just trying to explain the other perspective. Have fun at the Forum.
