attention to details

[Robinhood]

Validation, Most need it to one degree or another.

My question is: if you come to a forum and post your successes and continuously beat others down for not being as good as you are. What is the purpose? It is definitely not to help others. I don't think it is comradery. All it can be is validation.


You offer no help or appreciation for others. Just insults. You are either a curmudgeon or a fibber. You could just open up MS word and write about how awesome you are(where no one would ever see it), but you don't. You come to a forum hoping others will read about your alleged accomplishments and elevate you to the status you feel you deserve. That's a need for validation.

There are many guys out there that are much more accomplished than you and they treat people with respect. You insulted bigedp51 the other day. He helps people everytime he post. He takes time to share the collected gifs and pictures with hand written text explaining what he feels is the best advice. bigedp51 lives to help others even if misconstrued by some. All of your knowledge is worthless if not shared.....It is OK to be about you, just be about others too.

You WERE speaking about mikeinco NOT mikeinAZ?

( You insulted bigedp51 the other day)??
I wasn't aware of that. Looks like mikeinco hates ANYBODY that doesn't think the same way he does?
(and I was thinking it was just me??)
Appears he has a LOTS of smarts but is so intent on running other folk down that don't agree with him, in the end he can't accomplish anything. Just a legend in his own mind. What a shame. The man needs to be prayed for, REAL HARD!!

I'm not implying this about anyone, just offering some perspective about what it's like to be raised by a narcissist.

It's been my experience that when you're raised by a Narcissist that everything you do is diminished so that the narcissist can always feel that they're the best. Your belief in yourself MUST be strong just to survive that environment while growing up because what you'll always hear after relating how you accomplished something is " I did it THIS way it was better". So anytime the narcissist survivor hears how someone else did it differently, they'll go back to their survivor behavior and it frequently comes out sounding angry, when in fact it's really them feeling diminished, and for no good reason.

The narcissist survivor may or may not themselves become a narcissist, but they will always have the fleas of the narcissist. As the saying goes, if you lay down with a dog, you'll wake up with fleas, and so it is with a narcissistic parent.

It is also what drives the narcissist survivor to excel in everything they do, and they frequently do quite well in competition because LIFE ITSELF BECOMES A CONSTANT COMPETITION, courtesy of the narcissist and they're quite accustomed to the pressure.

That's all I have to add to this conversation. It's my opinion that the thread itself has no value except as a means to crucify others, it seems.

Wow.

Ok, so first, I appreciate the accomplishment and as an engineer I'd like to know how it was done. What kinds of details were attended to and what kind of equipment was used to minimize those details. Sometimes I learn something that helps me with my "cheap" equipment (I reload mostly for the fun of it).

Second, I grew up in Glendale, AZ. Neighbors were shooters at the Thunderbird range (now in the middle of huge residential areas) and we used to drive out to the desert in that area to shoot jackrabbits. Went to Black Canyon a couple of times but not on a regular basis. I am surprised it still exists being in the middle of all that build up. Now in southern NM so the heat is an issue I am familiar with when shooting, and something I try to account for when loading and making up dope tables, since I also shoot during the winter here. Mike, did you go to school in the Phx area? My mother and father (and grandfather) were high school teachers at several different schools in the 50's to 80's (Glendale, Central, Phoenix Union, Alhambra, Maryvale).

Last, I do not compete. I never found it interesting or satisfying. I do like improving my own work. As far as labels go, anyone who reloads is a reloader. Some have different goals or reasons for doing so. Some like to make precision ammo. Others reload just to save money. Others because they like to. Same with rifles. Some like to build their own out of "cast offs", others only use the most precise components and some just buy a rifle off the rack to shoot. None of these people are "better" than anyone else. Someone who shoots once a year to get an elk in the freezer is just as "good' as a national/olympic champion shooter.
