I have been a member of Rokslide for a long time and really like it. I come here when I want to read filth and watch people treat one another like crap. The good thing is, we have options. You will see arguments over there too. However, not like here, and I don't mean in just the "Hunter's Campfire" sub-forum. I am actually entertained by the gutter rot debates that occur in the Hunter's Campfire sub-forum. The unfortunate part of that is, you can read another sub-forum wherein someone posts something relevant to the thread and, unfortunately, someone will follow up with a challenge to his heritage/mentality/manliness, etc. based on a "discussion" that occurred in the Hunter's Campfire. It's nice to have options. It used to be that you could be entertained by the rot in the "Hunter's Campfire" and then move on to interesting subjects in other sub-forums. Unfortunately said "rot" is spreading into other sub-forums like socialism is spreading across our country. My take is, if I don't like it or can't take it, I can leave. The same applies to every other forum of which I'm a member.

I belong to several forums that are heavily moderated, some hunting/guns, some focused on other topics. I don’t have an issue since you should know the rules going in. It’s their forum and if the want to maintain a certain sense of decorum, that’s fine. Abide by their rules or leave. I don’t mind the free wheeling here. Kind of like the shift offices at the prisons I where I worked. Nothing was sacred. Had to cowboy up or leave.
There are forums I frequent where I don’t want that atmosphere. I go there for the exchange of ideas and information in a civil arena.
As was mentioned already, “their forums, their rules.” When you register with their forum you generally have a box to check acknowledging you read, understand and will abide by the rules. Kind of silly to whine about their rules after agreeing to them. So with no rules posted how would you characterize this forum header? Home Forums General Forums General Discussion Forum A place to discuss anything and everything that doesn't have its own forum Free for all. Check yer feelins at the door.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

LOL, is that your idea of a rational adult response to any discussion on a given topic? Thank you for making my point, whereas RICKT on the other hand has a rational and well stated response.

Now is the time for real thought and consideration to take place. Even when debate reaches lunacy you still learn from it and the poster in question. Personally in my opinion all speech is protected other than threats. That is where the moderators have value, not in shutting speech down. As for the Rokslide forum sure it is a nice enough place, considering to some so is Facebook which has about the same rules except no free speech for half the country. Rokslide is no free speech unless they say so. Hell of a correlation.

Rokslide is the biggest bunch of puzzies there ever was. Don’t talk bad about Kuiu. Buncha ball shaving sissies that can’t decide between Coke or Pepsi with creating a poll.
Hilarious!

I frequent another forum, Jeep related, and they have what they call PRC section. It used to get like this one here. They would give you "time off" if you got too rough. I noticed a bias slanted at people like me. I was given 3 days off by the moderator. My post was truthful and not at all nasty but I got the time off and the other guy stayed. Sent a pm to that moderator and told him he could just ban me for good. Been several years and I am glad to be gone from it. Now I come here. What we say here and what we think isn't going to amount to anything as far as change for the good. Maybe we waste our time here?

Rokslide is no free speech unless they say so. Hell of a correlation. No I don't think you support profanity and threats against others and I don't know how you got that from what I typed. I don't support that; but, I do support this forum allowing things to be as they are as that is the owner's choice and I support him running things as he so chooses. I simply presented that it exists in this forum. And I do agree, that all politics is not "gutter rot debate". I was referencing the arguments that ensue here. Even though you are the OP, my general analysis was in no way directed at you. It was an attempt to participate in the discussion of the topic you started. I apologize if I inadvertently stepped on your toes. Like I said, I was discussing the topic. I will say that comparing Rokslide to Facebook is a stretch, though I do understand your point. If it ever gets to a point where I don't like it, I'll leave. I don't see that happening.

I frequent 2 other hunting forums, including the one mentioned above. I find nothing wrong with them wanting to keep politics out as long as All politics are kept out. I don’t go to those other forums to read about politics, I go here.
Where I shop depends on what I’m looking for. Not much difference that going to a steakhouse for a steak and going to a Mexican restaurant for green chili, or going to Mcdonalds/Jackinthebox for a heart attack in a sack.

Rokslide has replaced this one for most of my friends.
Their purpose is to cater to hunting, camping and shooting.
They are staying true to their mission without needless diversion.
Everyone likes to have a good discussion or debate, but many on this site can’t honestly debate any subject; and think that anybody who has another view is a communist, homosexual, mentally ill, corrupt, or stupid. It’s really quite bizarre.
For example, I’m still an nra member and think they do a fairly good job on the most part, but I also think Wayne is corrupt and needs to replaced. Point being is that you can actually have conflicted views on any given subject.
Cheers. Good to see you and your pals found a new home, it'll clean this place up a little. I wish you and your Biden voting buddies the best possible ass reaming you could get for free.

What is the problem? We are all free to frequent the forums that we choose. Those that have a policy against political blather have a niche in the market place that either succeeds or fails according to their ability to attract and maintain participants. Freedom of choice is quite similar to freedom of speech etc.
This "free" forum allows a few to decide the standards and opinions that are most valued and denigrates and shouts over those that don't conform. Those that can deal w/ that fact stay and participate, others depart. Rarely does a day go by that former members are not mentioned and their departure bemoaned and blamed on the lack of decorum prevalent on this site. I value the info on hunting and the outdoors that I have received on this forum but many other areas are a freakshow that is amusing' but hardly of a high standard that exemplifies the value of free speech.
