While some of you might not believe it, for the most part we let a lot of stuff fly. However, we do police up obvious shills or those who complain about something with a simple, “This Sucks” without any amplifying information. Otherwise, we let commentors have their say.
Some feel that it is their “right” to post any old thing that comes to mind. If you want rights, go join OWS. This is SSD. If you say something we find particularly silly we will happily point it out to you. Don’t get offended that we point out that you are a toolbag. Which is getting to the real point of this post.
Unlike many other websites, we have made a decision to not discuss certain topics. Generally, these have to do with sensitive warfighting capabilities. Consequently, sometimes we post about gear out of context. For example, we don’t say, this was developed for unit X. Oftentimes, this results in folks commenting about things that they have ZERO understanding of. They don’t ask questions. Instead, they criticize that which they don’t understand. If you see something, and don’t understand it, ask about it. We’ll work to get you an answer.
Next, SSD will publish articles about counterfeit products. However, we will NEVER tell you where to go purchase them. Those parts are dangerous and the thieves steal from legitimate companies. If you want toys, go buy them. However, they have no place in the field so don’t help dirtbags make money off of counterfeits.
And finally, please comment. We enjoy a good debate or a new point of view. All we ask is that you actually read the article you are commenting on and be civil to one another. Don’t say anything on here that you wouldn’t say to a man’s face.
