Seems like there is a growing want for a place that was like GD...a decade ago. I figure ARFCOM is going to make a place where that can happen or someone else will. I don't give a fuck either way, but I'm waiting on one to happen. View Quote Now? Most newbs are Twitterites. TL;DR is their mantra. If you can't get the snark in less than 140 characters, you're lame. OLD GD isn't coming back. It had it's time, like the Jane's Arms of the World. Ever hear of it? No? If you messed with guns in the day, you know it. Now? In the day long before Darpanet, one in ten had served. Now? One in one hundred. Fox body Mustangs aren't rolling in the streets anymore. And their drivers? Have grown older, too. Vans with child seats in the back. Last thing most of them have is time to goad each other into jokes or relating their history. So, the next generation has taken their place. It's not GD. It's life - times change. People change. The new crowd takes what old GD did and move it a step further - which every generation does - and in some cases, it's a step too far. Which requires new rules, and in the case of the latest generations, it's rules they were never taught. Absentee fathers and no rites of passage don't make for a large number of adults. |

This thread is all over the place. We have serious, deep philosophical discussions mixed in with recipes, tic tac toe and references to tranny anal sex.
Just a weird thread. |

Funny. I stated that you have been and are extremely provocative. And not banned. I stated that Powell's speech has been called racist, and it has been, not just as referenced here, but this is simple.It is, if anything, very provocative. And noted that you are not banned. I called you out for saying this place is a socialist hellhole...and you can be provocative and not banned. As for my having the same opinion as a Communist news source...so? I don't change my opinion just because someone else thinks it. The commies hated Hitler, so i should embrace him? The commies hated Imperialism, and I, like many Americans on the right, also do so, should I change my opinion for the communists? They can be right, even if their reasoning is wrong and their view of history idiotic, they aren't always wrong. They don't pick my views for me, nor do I change mine because we somehow agree. If you do , that's your problem. And I said I disagreed. That makes me a triggered leftist? You're the one who's called me a fake conservative for disagreeing with you, a leftist for having another view point, and for calling you on the silliness of saying you post in a social dystopia when it is exceedingly obvious you aren't being oppressed. Someone is being a snowflake. Could it be the guy starting a thread in GD to complain about it becoming "socialist"? View Quote |

I wonder what raf would have to say about this. Not the censorship, but rather the site turning socialist.
In his recent thread he mentioned he and TBK believed the site to be infiltrated by groups who wished to do the site harm. |

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. Got it. Interesting The absurd stacking of LE as mods with axes to grind and trollish habits is another noteworthy, unfortunate trend. Serious threads are pretty useless any more and the increase in actual leftists is also just fine with leadership. It is what it is... still some fun stuff, for now. |

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. View Quote Have you looked at the other gun forums on the internet? You either have full blown autistic, white power weirdos, or fucking fudds. ARFCOM is the median. I enjoy coming here because I agree ideologically with most members. I don’t let the underscore faggots get under my skin. Yes, this site has changed. Even in the past 9 years I’ve been a member here. I remember the days when staff would lock threads personally insulting the OP and everyone laughed about it in other threads. Shit changes with times. This is still the best place for gun knowledge and news. I’m so sick of people bitching about this site. Name one other gun forum that’s better than this. Every single one I’ve experienced is either a free for all or ruled with an iron fist. |

Dang, calm down OP and give it a couple months to stabilize. I think it's a little bit of a perfect storm scenario where there's been some need to take out the trash for awhile, partially hampered by a need to update the COC etc for awhile and then as soon as that is close to being implemented behind the scenes the Brownells thing goes down, the NRA craps their pants and all of libtardia decides to erupt all at one time. Gotta let some things shake out. View Quote Carry on. |

GD is GD. I’ll agree, too much censorship. Butthurtness abounds. “But he said I was gay”.....who cares your coworker said it to you yesterday fagboy.
If GD is so bad that it needs additional mods/site staff/rules/Brownells restrictions...... why have it? Make it members only and open up the gates in lieu of restrictions. |

Hooray! Someone sees villains in every shadow! I can’t legitimately disagree with you, I must be a paid shill! News flash: I’m both very conservative in the Classical Liberal/libertarian direction and am paid for my actual work which has nothing to do with this site or anything to do with online. I think you’ve been so defined by those you hate that you can’t see that anyone who disagrees with you is anything less than a shill, a commie, or a socialist. The Conservative movement is large, lots of people in it have differing points of view. You call them all paid shills, you will very quickly be very alone.
