The firearms related subject areas show almost no enthusiasm anymore. Only the cracker barrel and political b*tching pages show any real juice. I'm putting together another M1903 parts gun on a HN action and a decent SA scant stock I found in my pile. I think I got it from DuPage years ago. I have a HS replacement barrel I'll put on it that may or may not be a take-off but either way looks and gauges about new. I'll post it somewhere when I get it done but not here because no one will see it and if anyone does, no one will give a crap because they've seen a million like it already.
After the 2016 election, I think it was DT who posted a "where's togor?" thread. I think the intent was to have a punching bag to celebrate over. As I said, I was disappointed to see Trump elected--and yes I'm saying a GOP Congress constraining a center left Hillary with both branches following the law would have been in hindsight a better run government--but I wasn't going to whine about it. Nor would I put the Trump blinders on, and I haven't.
So the argument is that togor took on all comers and won? Thereby ruining this forum? If that is true, then maybe that just proves that Trumpism is really is BS after all and useless in a fight.
OR, maybe the racism got out of hand and SysAd had to clamp down. Or, maybe the one guy who likes to call people the worst names he can type has something to do with it. Or maybe Lyman comes along to try to mod this place like other forums, and people decide that learning how to write posts differently isn't worth the payoff. Or maybe after awhile posting memes about Michelle Obama loses its sizzle.
Trump fatigue can't be ruled out. Three years ago it went straight from his Twitter feed to a post here. Not so much anymore. Now no one wants to talk about the way he sucks up to the Saudis for example while their poorly screened military personnel shoot our guys up on their own base.
Major Culver's statement said "The gloves are off! If you can't take it, don't come in!". SysAd amended the first part of that, but the second, to my knowledge, remains in effect. Once upon a time, Conservatives weren't afraid of competition of ideas. A lot of people who came through here over the years, they talk and think like the blue collar Democrats of my youth. They say they are conservative now, but really it's just a tribal affiliation, and they don't have the first clue about what conservatism as a movement is all about.
Damn I miss Geoffrey. He wouldn't have put up with this. I also liked JOTD from BTBM. Things change, I guess.
