Thread: The friendly way this site is run.

Back to the original topic, Tom raised:
I was on a firearms forum (to be unnamed), when some member listed a very ordinary, near new pistol for sale with a very skimpy description and no pictures for $1750 (sells retail for $525). Being the helpful person I am, I posted, "pictures would be helpful"--nothing else -- and got an 180 day "infraction" for crosstalk, with the admonition to "read the rules".

I messaged the a-shat moderator apologizing, and saying I was just trying to help with the sale, and he replied asking "if I could read"? I no longer frequent said forum, and departed leaving behind some less pleasant crosstalk.
