How many time have we played this game?
1. Staff gets yelled at from someone to "do something about something" 2. They make or reiterate what, on the surface, seem like a perfectly reasonable rule 3. At some point, someone at one or more rung of authority starts taking things personal and begins lashing out at every perceived slight. 4. A well liked poster will poke that person or persons until they catch an arbitrary ban 5. Membership will pile into a thread to ask why 6. Those threads will be deleted 2-3 times 7. Goatboy will come into the 4th one and reassure everyone that this wasn't his intention and things will be addressed, then float the idea of fixing something that's been broken for 15 years so everyone will stfu. 8. Whatever bad actor staff/mod will lay low for a while 9. Mods and staff will avoid enforcing rules for a period thinking that will cool people off when in reality, it engenders even more distrust. Rinse repeat. I'm not complaining, the forum belongs to whomever, do what you want. Just save us the righteous indignance about whatever the issue of the day is, it's tired, it's old, no one who has been here for a minute believes you or thinks this time will be different. |

Quoted: Well... Because so many gun owners are conservative and there are a lot of conservatives here, and because conservatives justifiably value free speech, it's easy to forget that arfcom has never really claimed to be a bastion of free speech. It's easy to forget, because some of what is not permitted to be discussed elsewhere is allowed to be discussed here. But there are limits. They don't want even the hint of racist content here. It makes gun owners and conservatives look bad, makes the site an easy target. It's their site, it's their right. Elon Musk has taken a different approach. He wants freedom of speech, so long as it passes the legality test. Twitter is a free speech platform. Both arfcom and Twitter are great sites for different reasons. We're pretty lucky to have both. View Quote Whose definition of racist are we using? I don’t even know you, but I bet that by the definition of most leftist you are racist. Anyone who has an account here who isn’t a leftist plant or a fed monitoring the place almost certainly fits their definition of racist. |

Quoted: Certain things offend people differently. For example, I know that dehumanizing Russians by calling them “Orcs” bothers you. Making blanket statements about American ethnic groups bothers me. Maybe we’re opposites. Maybe it’s best to not say racist things.

Quoted: Quoted: But as a black man, I really don't give a fuck what some dipshit on the internet thinks about code words and inferred meaning of internet posts. If I did... I'd be a liberal. You and i Sir could have a beer ! I will buy the first round. |

True enough; if anyone really wants to rag on an ethnic group (or two, three...), it's easy enough to do that on Gab.
I might add that, although, I'm getting less and less tolerant of certain "groups", some of what I see posted there shocks me. Even if, when the rubber hits the road, many of those "hateful" statements have a basis in fact - especially, the globalist/international banker stuff. But, I digress... |

Quoted: Who knew that "Don't use underhanded racial slurs" would be a controversial issue. Also if you think that free speech applies to private entities, I assume that you have accomplished very little in life. View Quote |

Just don't ever buy anything from Brownells ever again. Make sure you tell all your friends how they think we're all racist white trash.
Don't buy a thing from board sponsors either. Never click an ad. Burn it down. |

The reason people call out the fact that black people are committing most of the crime in our nation on artcom has to do with the fact that nowhere else is.
The news refuses to mention race and instead uses words like teens, youths, or nothing at all. Then, if you do research it's blatantly obvious it was a black male. I'm not saying it ALL black males, but when there's crime it's usually A black male. Also, the media and government keeps saying white supremacists are the biggest threat to our nation. Meanwhile black males are killing each other at alarming rates, assaulting other races, and shoplifting stores out of business. Well, after the BLM and Antifa riots I'm sick of being silenced about the real crime wave in our nation. I get it, arfcom is a business and going against the woke agenda gets you canceled. But, even if arfcom gets rid of all of us it will still be crushed eventually... because it's a gun website and those aren't PC either. |

Ya know, as more and gun control gets rammed down our throats, more and more people will stumble across arfcom.
I am sick and tired as being labeled as a racist right-wing ammo sexual. I shouldn't care, but it is getting tiresome. I may be a right-wing ammo sexual, but I am not racist. And someone perusing arfcom for the first time is certainly going to validate some stereotypes by some of the stuff I have seen posted here. But I am not blind and stupid either. Stereotypes exist for a reason. |

What about the gays? Are they considered a race? Is the word faggot allowed?
For that matter can the moderators just just give us a list of words and phrases that are not allowed. That would be a lot less subjective. Hard to play by the rules when the rules are never defined. |

I would appreciate it if all of you couldd make me feel a little safer and refrain from using terms like "bugle muncher" , "fattie", "toe sucker", or "floppy dick". Thank you and I appreciate it.
