As for as getting IP addresses and ban the parties who make socialist and racist remarks it appears to me the forum was set up to allow a reader to eliminate anyone he or she didn't desires to communicate with. It is called IGNORE. Unfortunately there are several on here who just can,t stand not to read the socialist comments and copy and paste. Therefore the IGNORE feature is overridden. So now it appears that maybe we need someone to make these judgement calls on certain post and ban the party if necessary. IF everyone would just IGNORE we would have no problem. It would only take a few post from them under another name for us to quickly recognize them and block them again. K..I.S.S... Its is so simple ONE CLICK.............

PS. Turn the flames on me I don't care.

Ideally if a person has enough ignores against them their accounts should be deleted.

Ironic (or self-serving?) to favor majority rule when one is in the majority but minority rights when one isn't. A good many of Allen's expressed political positions are not held by the majority of Americans. Possibly not even the majority of Alabamans either, although that would take some effort to prove out one way or the other. One of that state's Senators is a Democrat.

Allen, really it doesn't make any difference the volume or quantity of Ignores. IGNORES only concerns you and any other person on the forum. There is no need to ban anyone for their BS posts as long as you, myself and others IGNORE them because we don't care to read their crap. The problem is the copy and repost certain individuals enjoy doing. ( it appears they seem to enjoy butting heads with the Socialists) on here voids our right to ignore. WE still see the BS.

John, been saying that for a long time.

I don't know personally anyone on this forum. If I was shooting next to them, I wouldn't know it. So, it is easy to block the trolls. If I unblock one to read their post, that's usually, to quote Ronald Regean, "There he goes again....".
Read and move on.

Now, those folks do occasionally post on other threads on this forum, and without rancor and useful info contributing to the general usefulness as originally envisioned by the Col. and the Swede.

To me, it seems some people on this thread let their ego get in the way and feel they must answer perceived or blatent insult by quoting (rather than just using the "offenders" name).

Whether there is someone masquarading here, I don't know. As I said, I don't personally know anyone here so it is easy to just consider the source and take the appropriate action for me.

Now there's a novel idea.

If they do have a preponderance of ignores, it is a sign that the majority of users see them as a disruption and are "voting" for removal.

we don't really have any rights on this forum

we are allowed to post and use the functions,

the forum is owned by someone, administered by Sysad (Pat)

we members (including me) are expected to post within the rules, as set by the owner(s) and admin, (mods don't set rules, only make sure folks follow them)

if we don't want to follow the rules, then we can expect "punishment' in the form of infractions/bans (temp or permanent)

What is with your fixation on Alabama? Do you know (or assume) that Allen is from there?

After all, we don't bring up Wisconsin out of the blue when replying to a post.

BTW, Doug Jones (D-AL) is most likely an aberration caused by a smear campaign initiated at the last minute, which resulted in enough Republican write-in votes to give the election to Jones (final result Jones 49.97%, Moore 48.34%, Write-in 1.06%). Given the current political demographics of the state it is most likely that Jones will lose his bid for reelection (unless the Democrats pull more dirty tricks).

This is well known and a good point made as why we don't need another moderator..

Allen's location says "gulf coast region Alabama". Is BB always so observant? And my post was not disrespectful in any way towards Alabama, or for that matter, Allen. But I was pointing out that some people like majority rights when they're in the majority and minority rights when they're not. The underlying principle that I see there is one of self-serving entitlement. Unless you have a better explanation.

Thanks bostonbound. The troll makes numerous personal attacks on the rest of us in regard to demographics, religion and our work/previous work careers. Since he doesn't know us or anything about us he uses any scratch of info possible to make insults much like the democrats are doing against Trump and Kavanaugh. It's their way of life.

You're right about Jones. He knows he is a misfit, got in by a fluke and is staying quiet but has gone against Trump on every measure siding with his party regardless of what it was.

Alabama does not have a good track record for great politicians regardless of party. Our former Republican governor resigned from office due to a sex scandal which did not affect his capabilities as governor. However our last democrat governor ended up as a convicted felon and has only recently been released from prison. Surprise, surprise !!!! Then there was Sessions, a good man but no ball of fire like we were hoping for.
