It's Dave's board. I have several times been puzzled by his tolerance/intolerance for certain points of view. But then that's his prerogative.
And, of course objective realists are not usually welcome on most firearms' related forums.
Posters who seem to have drunk deep of the kool-aid appear to be well tolerated. Perhaps that imbues a special charm.
Have a nice day

It is Dave's board, and it's absolutely "his house, his rules."
That's how all the boards and forums I run, and help run - with over 80,000 members - work too.
That some people are allowed to act out, with protection from "management" has destroyed many forums over the years. It was what killed off the original SSMBBS, it's what's all but killed off NOTSSMBBS, and I've seen the same on any number of FB groups.
I've found that zero tolerance for any form of personal attack, and "no-politics" builds memberships fast, and that people appreciate that sort of environment...but...
It's Dave's house, Dave's rules.
