Due to numerous complaints, the decision was made to close the forum for a few days while I reassessed the way personal attacks and the incessant political arguments were handled by myself and the moderators.
I have added 3 new moderators, Seanpcola, JWlineman, and Jogan to help keep things under control.
There will be zero tolerance for personal attacks, this is a forum intended for "Respectful dialogue for firearms enthusiasts" not a soapbox for anyone's personal agenda. State your opinions, respectfully, and respond to others, respectfully, and there won't be any issues.
Many of us have become friends over the past couple of years, and some of us have become irritated with others that participate on the forum. For those who have become irritated with another member, and just can't seem to agree, use the ignore feature. If you don't know how to use the ignore feature contact myself or a moderator and we will be happy to help.
I don't want to see the forum go away, but if we allow it to continue to devolve into a constant state of disrespect, we've lost our way and it is "gone" as far as I'm concerned.
I hope that we can continue successfully and respectfully,
- Ian
