Quoted: I am 50/50 on it. Locks and timeouts have gotten to a point that I don't even want to start a thread anymore because it's going to get deleted half of the times. It's a public forum that many of us PAY to be part of, yet our discussions cannot be open anymore and the replies are deleted if one person doesn't like it. On the other hand, it's a public forum and the leftist media/government have been allowed in...so we can't exactly have posts on a gun site that reflect horribly on gun owners. Doxxing users isn't the right option, but we also should be allowed to test or report users to try and weed out these leftists and anti-2a members. View Quote Well, in my opinion, a sub forum like GD, the hate and sarcastic BS spews out into every other sub forum on the site. Somebody prove me wrong. Please Edit, dont get me wrong, I LOVE GD, I just try to be nice to everyone... |

I don't claim to know what motivates others. I don't. I only know what makes me move.
That said, I think that maybe part of the problem is that communists and liberals started to post here more and more. What's worse, they have become more empassioned and vocal in recent months. Maybe it's an infiltration of trolls...maybe it's just a sign of the times. Either way, a lot of guys like me hate communists and hate liberals. They are the antithesis of our existence. They are everything that is wrong with our country. They are systematically destroying the America we love. I agree with GB in that we need to take a step back, gain perspective, and metabolize the idea that most of us have far more in common with each other than we have in conflict. Still...if we are going to have communists and liberals tolerated...empowered to offer their side...engaged....well fuck all that. |

Quoted: What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo View Quote Ya ever been in a Turkish prison?..................................................................... Oiy. I didn't think so. Faggot. |

I see both sides.
There's at least one staffer that seems a bit over the top - whether that's his personality or just that he gets the short straw and has to deal with what the others don't want, I do not know. Other than that, I think the world of the staff here. I could have been banned many times, yet here I am. So put me down as 'sure, I get frustrated - but this is still the best site on the entire interweb'. |

I agree OP and GB.
I’ll try not to contribute to the issues. |

Not surprisingly he takes no ownership at all of encouraging trolls and shills and defending their presence by telling everyone else they should be more welcoming to those who only want to create problems.

Brownelled /media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/hes_right_you_know-328.jpg Free Sylvan All of that... the refusal to identify and purge true trolls and shills has become a basic tenet of the site. It is justified by the notion that removing them would result in the echo chamber they and their protectors love to use as cover. It's a load of horseshit and these heartfelt attempts to justify it happen from time to time as folks become more and more disgusted with it. One thing for sure, it isn't changing. It's become entertainment in itself, kind of.. |

I can appreciate GB's post comes from a place of meaning well. I can also appreciate that it's tone deaf.

We should do a thread on which sides of the beans/no beans debate millennial and boomers fall on. That should unite the hive

The whole sticky post boils down to "modulate your speech and self sensor, that's what we need".
We all know that's why we are in a shit situation and it's also not the answer to anything but hey let's just keep those heads in the sand, things have to turn around sometime. |

OP is correct. It might seem silly to some, but ARFCOM has real power in the political and cultural landscape. I—and many like me—have become political activists as a direct result of being on this board. Lobby Day 2020–one of the most significant events in recent history IMO—likely wouldn’t have been nearly as successful without ARFCOM’s involvement.
So many great things have come out of this site. |

There is a meme floating around with an Antifa/leftist phrase “Liberals get the bullet too”.
That’s sort of what we see here, but on the other side. It could be phrased “conservatives/libertarians get the bullet too”. People who are clearly well to the right of center but not far enough to suit. A lot of the division on Arfcom isn’t because people disagree wholesale. It’s because they only agree with 99% of what is said, and anything less than the full 100% is somehow now deemed the enemy. For years it was ok to agree to disagree with small things at the margin, this place was a great place for small (l)ibertarians for example, now it doesn’t seem to be. It’s a shame because conservatives and right leaning libertarians give the right the critical mass to be relevant and swing the pendulum back to the right. But many people can’t see beyond their own noses. |
