I don't know about "we" but I do know that some of our members, particularly late at night , seem to be spring loaded to a find fault position. I have had to give explanations about not having a stake in certain guns before. The worst was when I posted detailed photos of a nice 20ga that had been perfectly redone but was being offered for sale by a table top dealer as completely original. The gun had passed muster with several people who knew their Parkers but there were a couple details that raised issues. I posted the photos I had taken as an exercise in careful examination only to be accused in frothing late night comments as shilling for the seller and obviously ( to him anyway) of having a stake in the sale. And that person felt that he could just look at a few photos and quickly determine originality when others who were far more expert than he were suspicious but not certain.

So, as a result of that instance and others we have had here, the prudent poster makes sure others know that he is not shilling for the gun. So what are we becoming? I don't know, but be careful to explain that you don't have a stake in a gun.

And no you don't have to explain that you are not a member of the Communist Party but if you vote the wrong way in the next election, don't mention it.
