Is an AK (assault rifle) necessary or not in principle? (poll)

If everyone thought like that, humanity would still be living in caves.

Yes, my opinion on the topic at hand differs from the opinion of the majority. Since when has that become a negative? On the contrary, it's a reason to spread one's point of view.

Better to be in a cave than under slogans and in the atmosphere of your wave. Your opinion may be interesting, but it is not promising. This is not a lie; you can't draw a parallel or impose an analogy here. Frankly, the forum is dying because of the prevalence of opinions and approaches of such arrogant guys like Vic and Samurai. On the forum, everyone has been poking those who don't agree with them, and now we come here to poke them.
But it's not so bad here; there's more humanity, understanding, and respect. Even if something needs to be changed, it's definitely not according to your logic and principles. Personally, I think your proposal about "only tournament judges" is absolutely primitive, and so what? The community has created its own playground, elected the AK, and supports it, but you want to change everything because a few people think its decision is wrong... Isn't that crazy? Completely. Difficult decisions will always be made, and there will always be dissatisfied people. I think that if the opposite decision were made, there would be many more dissatisfied people than there are now.

So, you can, of course, spread your point of view; no one forbids it. I don't think it's a negative; why do you think so? I'm even interested in watching your efforts to promote yourself, based on the situation with the AK's decision. As they say, there's a hook, let's create a wave. It's a normal approach, but it won't be effective.

The AK will remain, at least for another year. And I give them credit for continuing to work selflessly in silence, rather than shouting from all corners about how bad and wrong everything is.

What kind of evidence base are we talking about? - I'm just tired of being silent :smile51:

It's like the 25th frame effect. Just post it relentlessly a little more, and everyone will get used to the idea that this "base" actually exists somewhere...
