As long as we're playing with the dictionary;
In fact, the warning of the possibility of a person with nefarious intentions is in fact warranted and they are there. A "few", "small number" could mean anything and you cannot quantify that, only question and nitpick for some unknown reason. More importantly;
You say the post was "disingenuous". Let's look at that:
From Merriam Webster: : "lacking in candor
also : giving a false appearance of simple frankness : CALCULATING" (their capitalization).
From Encyclopedia Britannica: " not truly honest or sincere giving the false appearance of being honest or sincere."
From Macmillan Dictionary: "pretending to be honest or sincere."
I could go on but I hope you get the picture. Why you made the accusation over a simple, honest headsup only you know. The post was made with good intentions and I suspect virtually all of the members took it that way but you. Enjoy your Sunday and keep that dictionary close at hand.

Dang Danny, the fella Peanut has really gone out of his way to ruffle feathers. I own a couple of websites and administer my church's website and guess I fully understand the intent of John's heads up and don't understand Peanut's need to be contentious. I am also a member of the popular Texas Gun Talk forum and right this minute:
Total: 378 (members: 133, guests: 245)
I can guess that "guests" category may fall into the bunch that John referred to and probably some percentage may be bad actors. When I built my biz website almost 20 years ago the country was a bit different place and I now wish I had not put a phone number on it. I was kind of young (well not really young) but innocent and junk phone calls were not yet a thing or to the extent they are now. BTW: Peanut quoted the "google dictionary"? Not a fan of google as I think they are part of what is wrong in the world today... that is just a personal feeling and don't ask me why...
