Its going to get real boring on here if everyone has the same opinion on everything.

Funny you say that, last time Togor messaged me he had remarked about how they will turn on themselves without anyone to argue with. I wouldn't personally bet against the prediction.

[leftyo]

i wouldn't either.

You vil agree wis ze party line. You vil not argue wis the standpoint of the ze party. Und if you do, you vil be delt with.

We need something to liven up the joint!

How does everyone feel about the potential of a possible reopening of the Clinton/Lynch meeting "matter"?

[Sako]

What do you figure the odds are for that?

Ken, I think that any time the management starts catering to a select few and you have to worry about getting the boot if you don't agree with these people, it is going to become a stale forum.
Ken, you cannot convince me that you read through all of the wasted back and forth conversing going on between the two groups. Instead you used your God given right to ignored a good part of it as most people did. Why should we have to agree with each other for both of us to be on this forum?
Go back and see who started the name calling and escalated the hate tone of the conversations! Remember that you or anyone on here has the choice of ignoring any conversation they choose.
Ken, I enjoy your pictures and the posts you originate and think everyone should take a lesson from it instead of just wanting to lash out over different beliefs, remember it takes two to argue.

Hi Sako,

As always it is good to hear from you and to read a well reasoned post. You are absolutely correct in saying that I did not read all the back and forth crap, but I did read enough to come to the conclusion that the intent of the posters was not to have a meaningful and reasoned discussion.

We have our arguments and do not always agree. The vast majority of the folks here are capable of acting like grown ups and do not lower themselves into name calling and other childish behaviour. When I see this sort of thing I try to look a little deeper and figure out why the poster is so angry. It appears to me that some of us are going through difficult times and that maybe the reason for spewing venom. I do not condone it, but am willing to cut a little slack based upon the difficulties I think the poster maybe having.

But it struck me that that some were only trying to be disruptive and were adding nothing to the pleasure many of us get from this cracker barrel.

I have many different beliefs from from many here and plan to continue expressing them. Hopefully this will result in some lively and fun discussions.

The only person I have known to always be right is my wife. And although it pains me to admit it, often she is.

One part of me says it didn't go nearly far enough, another part says it's a slippery slope towards censorship. But is IS more peaceful.

I would, however, point out to those who say that the departed miscreants did not discuss guns, that this IS the political forum, and "gun talk" is NOT required here.

No! The political forum is at the bottom of the forums list. Gun talk, I believe, was created for guns and subjects not specifically listed in one of the forums. Perhaps it should be renamed? The fact they did not discuss guns (I did make that statement) was just evidence they were here only to cause trouble. As far as I know they went on no other forum, choose GT because it is probably the most visited. If you have a question about Krags or Trapddoors, they belong on those forums, not gun talk. Altho it is not against the rules but you will get a better answer.
If every one had just ignored them none of this would have been necessary, but no, they were fed their fill!
I seldom go on the Pol. Forum and if this had been there I would have missed the whole bruha!

[dave]

PS: and by the way, the only forum on this site that says 'anything goes, so if you can't take it, do not enter', is the political forum, not 'gun talk'. The point being if "their" posts had been limited to that site perhaps you could argue they did nothing wrong.
