Sorry you feel that way LeFusil. Looks like nothing will change. Expect the current degradation of conditions to continue.

On the assumption that it's me you're disagreeing with, and not Stanley Hoover, I must say I find that bit of "news" highly encouraging.

So just exactly when was this more genteel time when there was no politics or personal bickering?

Here's a political Thread from over 11 years ago where King was posting his anti-2nd Amendment rhetoric and his continued denial of the Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms:

Here's a 2007 personal attack thread:

Here's a 2008 thread accusing a long time member of cheating him out of money on a gun deal that turned sour:

Here's an old thread that resulted in one of Ed Good's suspensions as a result of his threats. This thread contains even more links to several other threads with his trolling and disruptive behavior:

There's plenty more politics, personal bickering, and incivility where that came from.

Maybe the bad memories of the bad old days just fade with time... or maybe some people think they can get away with Fake News if they simply keep repeating a falsehood often enough. If only they could silence people like me who take the time to prove them wrong and expose their bullshit...

The real question is why B. Dudley, BrentD, and a few other thin-skinned whiners don't leave and start their own forum where they can rule and dictate and moderate to their hearts content. It should be wildly successful, according to them. Are they afraid it would fall on its' face???

Amen...pass the plate.

I�m sending a check to Dave tomorrow. It�s been awhile since I have donated and frankly, I feel a bit guilty utilizing his forum and not donating enough. Thanks Dave for having this forum for all to use. I�ve learned a lot about guns here and I�ve even been convinced here to alter some of my political views. For example, I once thought a proof house in the USA would be a good idea only for safety reasons for altered guns (e.g., backbored guns). What a terrible idea that was.....more government control of anything, but especially guns, is just a horrible idea and a vessel for only more gun control. Thanks for setting me straight here, guys. It also opened my eyes showing me that not all political discussions here are bad and that it is worthwhile to listen to other�s opinions I don�t necessarily agree with. I do see, however, it is best if we stay civil having these discussions, and for the most part they are civil discussions, but not always.

it was interesting to review some of the highly edited versions of old threads posted here...in addition to creative editing, noticed that much conflict here results from off topic personal attacks launched by fictitious members here...who, because of their apparent animinity, appear to believe they have license to post anything they want here with impunity and without fear of reprisal...

so, one of the ways to reduce or even eliminate off topic personal attacks here, would be the threat of being exposed...all members would be registered here with their full personal id... and that would be with the understanding that at the request of another member or his legal representative, that the moderator would release said personal id info, at his discretion, and at the full peril of the perp...

hopefully, just the mere possibility of exposure would act as a deterrent.. which would then result in a decrease in off topic personal attacks and an increase in forum peace and harmony...

Sorry to hear that, Stan.

I'll remember that though. I mistook you for a better man.

Hate to tell you Brent, but condescending statements such as this are exactly what causes deterioration and demise around here.

Yeah, I don't know Ed. Easy to figure out who I am. I don't really hide. You threatened me with legal action a few years ago in a PM, and then got enraged when I exposed that fact to the board by quoting your PM.

While I disagree with a lot of your politics and your gunsmithing views, it's that kind of bullshit resorting to threats that confirmed my view of you. I also note neither myself nor my solicitor has ever been contacted by your legal representative. All hat, no horse.
