To be terribly clear, this is BS.  OP has, in the past several days been more than willing to accuse me of being a ROLCON for having a different, far less nationalist, view of conservatism from him here, announced that FDR engineered World War 2 here, and has a profile that quotes Enoch Powell’s infamous (and often regarded as blatantly racist) “Rivers of Blood” speech.  I post this not to break the rule against harassing another poster for past posts, but to bring up specifically and relevantly to this thread that OP is very willing to be exceedingly provocative, and is still posting here, unbanned and (so far as I know) unthreatened.  I have no idea what brought this on, but given the above, I have no clue how he thinks this place is turning into a socialist hellhole.  My $0.02, for what it’s worth.

Why you call us socialist, comrade Nick?

Is picture of Che Guevara shirt too big?

Quoted:
People take the internets way too serious. If you don't like it OP you're free to leave at anytime. You're not being detained.

Sure who wants a semi auto rifle if it's stupid looking?

Quoted:

700 posts into a board, and picking fights with individuals, and totally not a ROLCON.

Got it.

I feel a burning desire to start posting about my very limited supply of Russian/former Soviet crap guns. They may be even more awful than my dildoARs

And has a very detailed and prepared argument...

Interesting

Wow this thread took on a life it's own while I was busy.

What I mean by this is, this site is drifting everyday closer to the left.

The leftist_trolls continually get a pass.

Eventually the only people who will be left on this site will be socialists.

That's the path this website is on.  I might just be looking a little further down the road than most, but that's where this road ends.

I never start threads and I read far more than I post.

I posted this because I enjoy this site, I care that's all.

Quoted:

Much like the Russian bots, mods and staff ask for a report that they will not answer.

Quoted:
I guess I'm just not seeing it.

Quoted:

Because I both noticed who the original poster was, remembered what he had been saying, and put it together cogently in a way relevant to what is going on and what he’s claiming?  That should get a mod response?  Whatever.

If it's not thread topics, it's the death by a thousand cuts of our best members whose political ideologies don't fall in line with the Ministry of Truth's group think.

The recent passing of Bradders, has really brought home to me personally how many great members this site has driven away.

The pattern is clear and irrefutable, the pattern of banning only helps the leftist blue_troll agenda.

This site is very quickly becoming a socialist gun website.  That is something that I want nothing to do with.  I don't even consider myself a conservative, I just don't want to associate with socialists or socialist sympathizers.

I first discovered this site, in the early 2000s.  I read the content on here for 4-5 years before I even got an account to begin posting with.  I wasn't drawn to this site because of guns.  Frankly, unlike many here, firearms for me personally are a very small part of my life.

I was drawn to this website because of:

1)  The members and their amazing depth of knowledge, varying opinions and life experiences / advice.

2)  The free exchange and analysis of ideas, concepts and theories.

3)  The humor and banter that we once COULD have with each other.

4)  The sense of community we once had.  Let me explain this, there would be members calling each other some awful things online when they disagreed, but like the grown men we are, we would be over it 15 minutes later and helping each other with a build, or listening and advising each other about family or work problems.

It's a fact a life that men bond with each other through conflict.   Some of the members I like the most are guys I got into some really heated debates with.  Men lose their cool every once in a while during heated debates.  That's ok.  That's all part of the process.  We can't do this anymore because someone catches a banhammer in the bootyhole for something very benign and healthy.

The incremental censorship over the last 10-12 years has destroyed almost all of what makes ARFCOM, ARFCOM.

We need less rules not more.

Unless something massive is done to alter the course of this website, myself and a huge number of other members will be gone.

I will have nothing to do with a socialist gun website.

We got it mostly pretty good here

I think we should be able to tell people to fuck off though
