This site has been successful for a very long time, so Mr. Bin is not to be second guessed on his approach. And we surely would not invite censorship. It is free as anywhere I have experienced. The troll issue is a sign of our times. Sadly, it really takes away from exchange of ideas in a civil way.
I just wonder how it will play out if it continues or escalates.

For [bleep] sake, even Bezos, Zuckerberg and Dorsey censor what they don’t like, they don’t care about the money. Not this [bleep] place.

Sometimes you need a set of balls to run a business in a way that reflects your beliefs, sometimes you’re too big a pussy and worried about a nickel to do so.

They make good fill at the bottom of the hole if they got the balls to come around and talk as such face-to-face personally

Must be rickbin let's them do whatever they fugging want. Rick Bin let's everyone pretty much do what they want. Three things will piss Mr. Bin off, not keeping your word, Lying to him, and pornography. I can't say as though I disagree with any one of those things. And a call out thread with his name in the title. Free Fred A couple of people have found that out the hard way.

IDGAF what Rick Bin does. How he runs his site, or who he let's on here. I disagree with some decisions, but I disagree with so much anymore it's like breathing.
If Rick reads this and kicks me off. Good to have known Ya! If I get to where I dislike the site. Good to have known Ya!

So if trying to keep score, A troll post is a plus one. A ignored troll is a neutral. A fed troll is a plus plus plus. A lost member is a minus of unknown.
I wonder if new members are attracted and stay after witnessing threads deteriorate from troll interference? My guess is no. And if I guess is correct...trolls win short term. But site declines in the end.
Thoughts? New members try to wade into the pool slowly, only to get dragged into deep water from the jump. They either swim, drown, or get eaten by sharks within the first hour. Some think they can swim. Most realize they can’t. Those that hide a speargun in their bag have a fighting chance. Cue Jaws music 🦫

Keep this on the down low, but it's the liberal trolls that keep this place alive. Without them the forum wouldn't last six months.

It ain't about trolls but about the 'traffic' a website / forum / blog / etc., generates. The bigger a website / forum / blog / etc., gets the more time and expense it requires to maintain it. Traffic (views) is what draws income producing advertisers. The more views the more advertisers want and will pay tor ad space.

I actually think there's enough variation in thought here to allow discussion without the need for trolls. Back off on the attack mentality and interact rationally with each other and learn from our differences.

Rick Bin runs a successful business. Who am I to question his methods. I respect the fact that he lets things freewheel, even the trolls.
This place is an anomaly as far as latitude goes these days. As I've stated before, I don't think you can put a price on what we're allowed to do here. Where else can you learn about chunks of asbestos in Frosted Flakes, and ultra cool .22 centerfire conversions from DD and Muffin. My new guy two cents.

So your measure of how to run an ethical web site is Bezos, Zuckerberg and Dorsey?
