We'll if it goes like most other sites, once the snow flakes get people banned then the hide will end up being a anti 2A site. They have done it to others and people seem to allow it.

Were adults and the bear pit just needed a disclaimer at the top?
 
Hi,

It has nothing to do with "snowflakes" and more to do with the members of this forum are and have always been more diverse than most people imagine.

It has more to do with respecting the members here that have jobs with entities that monitor them constantly and issue full scope polygraphs every quarter.

It has more to do with respecting the members here that are assigned OCONUS stations in which the host country monitors all their communications.

It has more to do with understanding that there are members here of every Religion even Islam...some of those are embedded in countries that most on this forum have never been to and/or prefer not to go back to. Doing things for USA Government that go unspoken and unrecognized.

It has more to do with realizing that there are members here of every Race...some of those in very high level R&D Commands of the USA and International Military.

Etc Etc Etc

Why would we want to be the cause of any one of those members getting called to the carpet per say because of a thread here that they posted in BEFORE it turned vial?

Why would we want to be the cause of any one of those members NOT sharing their shooting experiences with us because they felt like the vocal minority spoke for the entire forum in regards to their race and/or religious beliefs?


Sincerely,
Theis

I have question about the monitoring. Is it strictly .gov computers being watched? Or is it any and all social media accounts being watched 24/7 on private devices as well?

I understand your stance.
Is it fair/equal to require others not at the position/pay scale to follow these same rules?
If one is being "watched" why would someone enter a known potential problem?
Is this just as a "bear pit" visit or the site in general?
I understand Frank's rules and the reason why.

All this shit reminds me of something that happened long ago in Ham radio. We had a very good net that met at 1700 est 7 days a week. Membership was about 150 then progressed to 800 over 5 years. Then the complaints about start time started, to close to supper, I'm not home from work yet, all petty b/S by fucking jackoffs that wanted it all their way. Yes they got their way I'm happy to say, but the net no longer is held. What was the draw walked, an the asshole factor went like barf15. Soon everyone said fuck it an move on, the net controls were left holding a empty sack. Seen this same shit over an over but people have to piss on the electric fence for their selfs at times,...
 
Why not make the Bear Pit private like the LE\Mil section?
Password protected, member only, enter at your own risk.
Charge a modest yearly fee to make sure it is private and one is present at their own will. Obvious "basic" rules would still need to apply, no threats, hate speak, crank shots:)
Keep Maggies as the PG13 hangout, and the remainder of the Hide stays civil and squeaky clean.

Fuck yeah, but anything goes, true freedom of speech. No physical threats but can say whatever you want, about anyone you want. That would be great. And the fee would help the site. I think it’s a great idea!
 
Also I bet it would generate a shit ton of revenue because it’s human nature to be nosey. The snowflakes would join because it would drive them nuts not knowing what was going on in there.
 
Let me get this right:
I am a private citizen that doesn’t work for the gov. I need to keep my posts PC so I don’t potentially affect a government worker, who signed onto that job, also signed onto reading this forum. This is to help protect them from being questioned about them reviewing a website with particular posts?

I wonder if these gov workers would let me know when they are monitoring my posts, you know to help protect me from possible questioning?...

I will play nice, only for respect to the forum as it is so much more than the bear pit, but I WILL NOT act like a neutered dog to protect someone who is helping the system screw over my rights.

If I was in that situation, I wouldn’t go on any forums or social media, or I would quit and get a job that doesn’t force me to give up my liberty.

Before you bash me, I have the upmost respect for Law enforcement the military, also for the honest gov employees that do honest work. But I have more respect for my liberty.
Never, ever try to interject logic into anything LE/Mil or .gov as it's a fail from the get go.
 
First off...I like many are monitored on my WORK computer and if your that freaking stupid to open yourself to that then you have more serious issues. I didn't join the LE group because transparency and community policing is what will bring back respect. I have a great deal of respect for LL and others but really....a few butt hurt pussies hit the report button and the world changes.

With the upmost respect to LL...it appears the Hide just joined the ranks of FB and Twitter in censoring. Unless I have missed some off the wall posts I have never seen anything that would offend me but then again, I have been spit on, shot at, almost stabbed (that fucker did pay for that one....life in prison and a broken arm) so maybe my sense of being offended is out of scope?:oops: I don't say to much and I sure as hell don't do Fuck Book or Clitter but it seems those assholes with a 700 Walmart bolt action rifle who are still anti 2A are moving to other sites like locusts.

Rant off now....I will go have a beer. Glad AJ is back(y)
 
Many corporations and government entities have "policies" around code of conduct in and outside of the workplace (this includes affiliations). Frank also runs a business here with corporate sponsors and has to look out for his business and his membership.

The ask as I understand it is, fell free to discuss topics, but don't be petty douchebags about it. Not difficult to understand.

I have a question for @Tucker301 ....

If I preface every post with, “with all due respect”, will that keep the ban cat at bay?

I’m pretty sure that’s in the Bible or the constitution or something but I know we hold ourselves to
a higher standard so I thought I’d ask.
Thanks.

P.s. don’t show Frank this. He doesn’t like my sense of humor.
