I was banned from participating in any forum discussions for a period of time. I'm not sure how long I was banned because It's been a week or so since I posted anything. I just realized it this morning when I went on to see what was the latest hot topics. Luckily today was the last day of my ban. The reason cited was the decline of this forum due to political discussions.
I would have thought a specific incidence would have prompted my ban and not just someone thinking they know my political leanings.
A forum, by its namesake, is a discussion between sometime opposing views. This country is very politically polarized nowadays and sometimes politics become a topic of discussion.
The "Off Topic" section is just that. A space where members can discuss those Non-gun related topic of interest.
I asked the moderator if this website was an open forum or a space where like-minded individuals can come to reaffirm their already entrenched views. I was assured all views were welcome. I was also advised that my views were disruptive and deemed trolling.
As all can see from my posting, I have strong views about our current president. I accept that may not be the majority sentiment here, however I feel all views should be heard. I have never posted anything untrue.
Early on I was advised that my views would quickly get me kicked off this site, because its just a site of old, arrogant ________ guys who purportedly know better than everyone else.
I'm here to say that gun enthusiast come in all hues, races and religions. This country is a great nation that has stumble, but will soon regain its footing. Just as General Custer, this current failed ideology and group think will fail and the good and decent folks will inherit this great nation.
If this post gets me permanently banned, it only proves my point!
Master Guns!!!!
