In what reality? You've -yet- to make a "sensible" post in Tilted Weaponry. Anywhere. Ever.

Which you are in no position to judge.

Not even remotely. If you -were- making sensible arguments, backed up with logic and common sense, would the professionals (like Walt) be on your side, or telling you that you're wrong? Think very carefully.

"Gravitas" was the reasonable and measured reply Walt gave (with video) on the last page. "Gravitas" was what you got when Walt was being polite enough to assume you'd at least take his profession, training, and experience into account. This, on the other hand, is the kind of reply you can expect to start getting when you continue to demand that other people take your recommendations (these based upon highly suspect "common sense" and observations) over those of a trained professional with years of experience.

And as for your statements "enlightening" anyone...puhLEEZE. The only "enlightenment" that's gone down in this thread is various people attempting to enlighten you, only to be reminded that one cannot enlighten the willfully, stubbornly, obstinately and proudly ignorant and unenlightenable. Despite your total lack of relevant training or experience (even on a social, nevermind professional level) with large dogs, despite the fact that you've been totally unable to come up with any workable support for your outlandish claims and suggestions, you expect other people to listen to you and your chest-thumping macho crap? And you expect other people to put this uninformed, uneducated, patently ridiculous blather above the opinions of a trained professional?

What, do you instruct your doctor on how to perform surgery as well? Policemen on how to find criminals? Snipers on how to shoot? Would you walk up to Michael Schumacher or Danica Patrick and start instructing them on how to drive? Or Peter Crouch on football? Because that's what you've been doing: positing that you know more about a given subject than a person trained in that subject who worked in that field for many years for a very demanding employer: this despite admitting to having -zero- experience, training, or even social screwing-around to back up your positions, positions which the -actual- professionals have informed you are unworkable and dangerous nonsense at best. Funnier yet, you've been demanding until you're all but blue in the face that -other- people, who have various degrees of experience themselves, take your word over that of the professional, in spite of the fact that every single one of these people, Pros and Joes, has been telling you that your "ideas" jive neither with reality, nor with their individual experiences, nor with anything they've ever heard from anybody with half a brain.
