    I'm just curious to what the definition of racism is, since it's such a subjective concept. I was unaware that posting fbi crime statistics was racism. You see there's no guidelines but subjective ones.

    Racism was a communist buzzword made up by Leon Trotsky, and the liberal elites and communist subverters nowadays use it to intimidate everyone into rejecting reality and conforming to doublethink by fear of association.

    Everyone is afraid of saying the truth for being called a racist or a nazi. I stand by what i said and i don't believe self censorship whitin out circles is the answer. As a matter of fact is the reason we're losing, nobody wants to be called the mean evil buzzwords and be unpersoned.

    I believe firmly in the first amendment, which includes saying things other people may dislike or find offensive. To have a free society you must have a free discourse, and when one starts censoring for whatever good reasons one might have it's a one way trip down the slippery slope of repression.

    I personally am tired of being afraid and lowering my head to the thought police and having to silence obvious truths because they might be offensive or make some uncomfortable.

    The only way for any society to advance and avoid both stagnation and regression is to face truths that might be uncomfortable, not to disguise or hide them hoping they'll go away.

    As long as we have an off topic board I'll post here with whatever truths i believe in. If what i say is wrong I'll welcome the corrections from other members.

    The truth shall set us free no matter how uncomfortable it might be

    But hey, it's not my forum, not my rules. You're the admin.

    Hate speech laws are coming, already destroyed most of europe where now you can go to jail for misgendering someone on the internet.

    May I just suggest that only an individual can choose to be a good or evil man, or a criminal. Crime statistics are what they are, but if you wish to make sweeping judgments on groups of God’s children based on melanin content or anything other than an individual’s choices, in my opinion you are making a mistake. I won’t tell you not to speak, however I will have opinions based on what you say. This is just food for thought. There are many many good and bad men of all backgrounds. I prefer to befriend the good, no matter what they look like.

    There's more to it than just the melanin cope. Look around you.

    Why do some people always confuse race realism with racism? They are not the same.

    This is the gulf coast Gun forum, not oldman’s conspiracy forum. There other places to talk about Alex Jones, QAnon, Chem trails, and other such non-sense. And this is a moderated forum, not a free-for-all. Your welcome to leave if you choose


    People are free to go to any thread they want....

    WHY ARE YOU BEHAVING LIKE CNN???

    Jpyritz and Oldman are both banned. JWLineman asked as politely as possible to tone down the comments and was essentially told to fuck off. If you don’t agree with them being banned that’s fine you’re free to leave, but the free for all crap stops tonight I really don’t care who I ban because the quality members will continue to contribute and bring more quality members.
    Add Edruken to the list too. If you want to be a racist donor somewhere else.

    I understand why. And it sucks. Out of the hundred or so core contributors, 2 or 3 get banned..... the 3%. No coincidence. Live to fight another day, gentlemen, somewhere else

    I'll miss the funny posts and memes from oldman. I appreciate the difficulty and time commitment of being a moderator.

    I come to this and other forums for information, diversion and community/fellowship. I know I will not agree with everyone all of the time and that is ok.

    For myself, I hope to avoid becoming disagreeable when I disagree and to be able to add to the conversation from time to time.

    Emotions can and do run high from time to time and it is easy to get carried away. I usually post from my phone and thankfully can't type fast enough to get too carried away.

    Hmm when you remove a mans tongue, you don’t just silence him you prove you are afraid of what he has to say! I just started here and am surprised that a second amendment forum has removed anyones first amendment right. Are you not reducing us to Twitter, google,Facebook, Russia, China? Please rethink this. We are but a button push away if we don’t want to read the post.

    Just out of curiousity, are all three of them permanently banned? None of them have a "Banned" banner by their name like members used to have when they were on a time-out. (or maybe we never had that banner, and I'm thinking of a different forum).

    The first two permanently the third until the end of the month. When I see it it shows a line through their name. Kevin has been working on the software so it may not show banned I’m not sure.

    food for thought; another forum I am on and that i am a moderator on, has a

    a step up process for banning, 3 days, 7 days, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, then go to permanent.

    just my two cents, I think permanent is a step too far, too soon. this forum software has the capability of attaching
    notes to member profiles to document incidents to justify the step up process.

    First this is a privately owned forum what I think or anyone else does not count. There is no surprise here since there is at least one prior thread about banning.
    I enjoyed Oldman's posts on other subjects. I will miss them.
    I have been thinking of leaving another forum I belong that has gone totally weird.

    I am concerned to be on a social media group that is advocating killing and i am glad there are some limits here.

    Nope, he’s been asked multiple times and been banned for short periods multiple times. Mods spend a stupid amount of time cleaning up his mess so he’s done. As for number two, he played chicken and lost. The growing theme lately with a small minority is to call out mods with impunity, I’ve watched it happen multiple times to JW and Charles. Every couple of years it seems like we have to clean house a bit to get it back to a fun forum.

    I understand. time is precious to us all, as most have jobs. just offering my notes from experience. esp in dealing with conflicts. it can be consuming.

    I am an independent, conservative, libertarian, republican anarchist myself, with a very small liberal streak occasionally... the less rules the better, but I believe in limiting one's self in your postings...personal attacks, constant bitching, those are a pain the butt, and receive more attention.

    I keep a lot a crap to myself, or in private PMS's

    your house, your rules
