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

Laughing at the third grade thinking!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.

Never, ever try to interject logic into anything LE/Mil or .gov as it's a fail from the get go.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.
You got that right. Karma’s a bitch!
Yeah. I picked up a 12 hour ban.Apparently not.![]()

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.
At some point that is going to happen, an it's going to get real ugly,... However if that is what it's going take, then so be it,...More like collision.... with the original immovable object.....
