I’ve done my share of groaning in disgrace, I try to tell myself to shut up you dummy. We never know what is going on in others lives. Maybe irrational because of stuff happening.This is to be expected from a secular society where people are taught that being prideful is good. Man has no morals on his own. He's a self serving animal. But don't get unraveled by it. Don't let the world steal your joy.
Grow in grace so you don't have to groan in disgrace
Life is too short for people to attack one another for any reason- let’s always agree to enjoy our airguns and each other while ignoring our human faults. The need to be right is definitely one of our frail human egos weaknesses. I personally enjoy your words.100% of my interactions with fellow air gunners are here on AGN or on the new HAM site. Some members here are lucky enough to shoot with friends and to make friends in competition. So their interactions are more interpersonal as well as online. I don’t pretend to know anyone here, whether through their “public” postings or “PMs”. The only thing I “assume” about them is that they are good people and they like Airguns. Recently I disagreed with a members’ public posting and expressed my opinion. Back and forth PMs ensued. We both agreed to chat on the phone to better clear the air. Big mistake on my part. It ended with me being seriously disrespected… by a person I held in high esteem. This left me perplexed as I at no time disrespected him. I’ve reached out to him via PM, realizing that in the heat of “his moment” he simply lost his temper? But no reply, it just irks me how he continues to post blithely, without acknowledging any wrongdoing. If he treated me, who he doesn’t know this way, will others who fall out of line, get the same disrespect? Oh well… Live and learn. And no I won’t be divulging, publicly or through PMs. He knows who he is… Reach out to me and let’s make amends.
I'm not religious at all but I would put my morals up against anyone's. I don't need some sort of self appointed or organized leader to teach me the right way to treat others. That's all I'm going to say on the subject.This is to be expected from a secular society where people are taught that being prideful is good. Man has no morals on his own. He's a self serving animal.

“Do unto others…” taught to me, and many of you out there by our parents… the two leaders that begat us all.Where does he mention anything about an “organized leader”? What is the point of your comment?
You're a better man than I. I've done some really bad stuff (shameful, sinful, immoral, even illegal). Even though, I confess, I knew better! Truth is, I'm no good.I'm not religious at all but I would put my morals up against anyone's. I don't need some sort of self appointed or organized leader to teach me the right way to treat others.

Awww, your in good company …I aint all that great either.You're a better man than I. I've done some really bad stuff (shameful, sinful, immoral, even illegal). Even though, I confess, I knew better! Truth is, I'm no good.
Don't focus on what you have done in the past. Focus on how you are now. Do you screw people over now? I'm not saying that I'm better than anyone but I sure in the heck wouldn't destroy a fast food joint because my fries were cold.You're a better man than I.
