You still shouldn't HATE the feature, because it isn't that much worse than what you subjectively perceive as better. You can respect and like something more than a counterpart, but don't disrespect and hate said counterpart. How many times do I have to say this...

I love the FNP USG safety/decocker, it will decock gun, it can be tuned off hammer down, or be carried condition 1, all with same control.

I don't get why he's not allowed to hate somethin, so what? I hate bananas, I hate the smell, I hate the texture, I can't be in the same room as somebody eating a banana. It's my personal opinion, and there's no other way to describe it. Am I a bad person for hating bananas instead of just disliking them?

It's a matter of etiquette really. Everyone has their preference, yes, but at the same time, everyone has their preference. It's one thing to say you hate something and another to say you don't like it because you like something better, and when it comes to something like firearms, where fanboyism, misinformation, disinformation and poorly generated opinions run rampant, you should have respect for other people's opinions if they are well founded enough. Hatred and total barring of something shows a lack of etiquette, a lack of respect, and most of all, ignorance, and it makes one seem uneducated and biased, sometimes wrongfully so.

I don't have a problem with somebody disliking something if that's how they genuinely feel. But one of the unspoken rule of social etiquette is that people who dedicate so much time and energy to hating something (ANYTHING) are regarded as unpleasant. Most normal, happy, sane people simply ignore things that they don't like, but which don't directly affect them. Does anyone, for instance, miss that dude Sillybunz who got banned a few weeks ago? All he ever did was complain about how much he hated stuff.

One of my personal pet peeves is slow drivers in the left lane, and I admit that when I encounter them, I curse them and find myself wishing my car had retractable GPMGs so that I could light 'em the fuck up. But once I'm not being slowed down by them anymore, I forget about them and don't dwell on it all day. Nor do I feel a need to get on Internet message boards and bitch constantly about how much I hate slow drivers in the left lane.

Well this sort of thing is really "the internet". You have a medium that allows you to speak your mind and rant on and on about said topic until people do get fed up from reading you're mini essay. I think we should try to be short and to the point but that is the ideal of internet conversations. A lot of us are just too used to speaking our minds to the point of not caring what the reactions are or responding poorly to people's reactions that we become pissed and need to explain everything all over again or do personal attacks for no reason.

That's about the smartest thing I have heard today
