Maybe I'm way off; but having agreed completely with this:Quote from: avator on May 20, 2022, 08:08:10 AMIt really all boils down to the basic thing...This is not a wide open forum. This is a privately owned and operated forum to which members must apply to and be accepted with a specific set of rules that they must agree and adhere to.It's about airguns.If you can't control what you post than this is not the place for you.And this:Quote from: avator link=topic=199565.msg156328673#msg156328673It's been my experience that no political reference, slight or otherwise, isn't met with an equal or greater politically driven response. Then it's off to the races until mods and admins have no choice other than shutting it down. Many here are passionate about their opinions and they have a right to be. But those differences of opinion often times lead to dissention among members.There are plenty of opportunities here to express opposing opinions that which are airgun related. And believe me, even some of that gets heated at times and folks have to be reminded of the rules. It would be a very boring place if all of us had the exact same knowledge and experience. Fortunately we don't and that is exactly what makes this forum special for airgunners. Young, old, experienced or new comer, we all have something to contribute and gain. Fellowship/friendship being of the highest reward.That's why I ask... why inject anything that has no other end than to insight off topic controversy when there are so many other places where it's expected and accepted? This, posted immediately after:Quote from: Frank in Fairfield on May 20, 2022, 12:35:45 PMGood news.YAHOO is allowing comments again.We can speak freely there.Nope!Seemed... Well, out-of-place?... Still doesn't justify the replies received; as the idea of the thread was to STOP the politics; which means not only not posting political or off-topic controversial stuff to begin with; but also not injecting the same into replies to posts perceived as such...However, the almost simultaneous thread started with the same topic-but including this:Quote from: Frank in Fairfield link=topic=199610.msg156329043#msg156329043Koreans want the military out.Yep.Right after they pay the bills for 65 years of security and economic development.One Trillion would be a start..Would seem to be clearly the same type of non-airgun inflammatory content that we are all talking about? I reported that thread; BTW... Second/third time in my entire membership that I have ever done so; but I thought it was the right thing to do... Maybe I was wrong Jesse

Thanks for pointing out that "Yahoo" thread JuryRigger.I "Locked for Admin review" before it got any more attention.Shame on the OP.... That was going down the wrong path from the start.
This thread was “Troll Bait” from the start….
Political statements have no place here on the GTA; something everybody agreed to when they sign up. Stirring that pot is the same as going back on your word... Which is tantamount to lying.Nobody likes liars.
I guess it's like mom used to say when I acted out in a crowd.... "Ignore him, he's just looking for attention. The more you give him, the worse he will get".

Stirring that pot is the same as going back on your word... Which is tantamount to lying.Nobody likes liars.Please define/describe a "political statement". To my feeble, old mind, everything we say and or do, in this day and age, has a political connotation of some sort or another.
