as there is a lot of interest in this, i thought i'd clear some things up. along with this thread i'll probably lock one or two others and, as you've had plenty of time to mourn the folks who used to be here and are no longer, i'll ask you not to characterize them.
the people who are not a good fit for this forum are those for whom insult, shock and offense are a tactic, an operating principle, rather than an occasional result. if you would rather knife your lavender room brothers (even those with whom you disagree) than exchange ideas with them, at a certain point there will probably be friction. beyond this...
if you go postal upon finding out someone's been banned, and you post that this place has gone to hell, or something like that, i'm prone to get low and petty. i don't know why, i haven't analyzed it, but i don't mind if you insult me. what really irks me is when you insult this community.
so there you go. it would be nice if we could leave moderation behind and get onto talking about how trump has lifted the economy to new heights and unshackled the engines of commerce, or about how he's a creep and a liar. or both. or none. or about how the AR 92 can shoot 45 rounds a second.
