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. View Quote Got it. |

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. Is picture of Che Guevara shirt too big? |

From what I understand, Aimless called him on some shit. IE having a rainier industry account without even working for rainier. I liked him when I was new here. Then I got to see what he was actually like. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Him and Aimless got into it, Aimless provided facts so he got butthurt and left. I think it was about being a site sponsor View Quote I think I called him out on posting on m4carbine that he never published bad reviews and that if he got something that was crap he just quietly sent it back and never would publicly say anything. We had other squabbles, he told me to "stay in my lane" and I asked what his military and leo background was and he accused me of trying to Arock him. I think also asked him if he was paid to post, he would mysteriously show up posting about something like DPX knives on knife forums he had never posted on before and post glamour shots of whatever he was "reviewing", I don't think he ever answered me. I might have the order of that stuff wrong. |

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. View Quote Not only that, but its not freaking hard to make a website with a forum. Around $100-200/yr for forum software license (unless you want to use one of the less featured free ones) & $100-400/yr hosting fee. Then you get to spend a lot of time getting the forum set up, subboards and what not. Then try to get people to sign up. After a while when you get enough members, now you have to deal with the fuckwits who always sign up to cause trouble. Then you will have to make rules. Then more fuckery and then make more rules. Members start pushing those rules and then you make more rules. Rinse lather repeat. Then find out what its like to run a forum. Best to have a very thick skin. You will get called just about every kind of name and deal with a lot of idiotic morons. |

How many tolerant leftists do you know? If anything the site has made a course correction to limit trolls from ruining GD. |

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.

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.

Too many people ran to mods or staff to report people who challenged their world view.
*Example* Roll into a thread about woman problems, read it, figure out that OP has no drive or ambition, is likely a fatass, and lacks passion for anything in life. Tell OP to stop being a fatass and a negative Nacy. Go get some shit done and show your SO that you not only live life, but you also love living life with her. Get reported for insults. Examples like that must have piled up in the inbox of staff and mods to where it was just unmanageable. And as a result the whole site get slapped with rules that cater to the lowest common denominator. Couple that with posters who are only here to troll and staff/mods end up in a tight spot. The "free speech" loophole has always existed for trolls and shills here. Famously Dave_A went down in flames for being a clever troll who navigated the CoC precisely. If Arfcom banned everyone who didn't spout "Taxation is Theft, fuck the ATF" we would end up like DU. A hollow echo chamber that never causes members to ponder their views. Arfcom got popular and that's your real beef with it. A small board can operate loosely, everyone knows each other. Now it's a huge metropolis and nuanced moderation is going to be an early casualty as it grows. |

View Quote The problem we are facing now, all over arfcom, but, most notably in GD is the large number of us who have been here for a decade, or more, have developed a camaraderie that doesn't fit the stereotype. We have become the victims of our own enthusiasm. Sadly, I see a not-too-distant future in which we are all expected to carry hankies in our cuffs and use 'person' everywhere. |
