,,,,,,,,,,for your recent efforts to "clean up" this forum. It has been so much more civil in the past few weeks. It is much appreciated.

Twitter and Facebook censor too, even the President of the United States, if thatā€™s what you are talking about, Stan.

Consider this payback, Buzz.

No, that's not what I'm talking about at all, buzz. I'm talking about this forum. This forum. Not Facebook and not Twitter. Actually, I could care less about them.

I intended no implications whatsoever.

Aha Stanton, well if itā€™s any consolation for you, I know of at least one of the individuals who has been ā€˜cleanedā€™ actually was saddened when you drowned and was hopeful for your survival. So, there you go. Twitter and Facebook are run by a bunch of left wing loonies, and Iā€™m glad you pointed out this forum is not the same.

Rudeness and insults have a place and a time...but here on DGS it got out of hand with self-appointed "hall monitors" watching your posts like the NKVD political police and invading substantive lines every time a person they had a feud with posted anything. Readers fled the site...donors...long-tine members dried up. I don't know how many real adults with significant positions in the gun world as authors, collectors, owners told me they had abandoned DGS. A cleanup was long needed and certain people had to grow up too. The site has been retaken from the yobs. And by the way, censorship doesn't have anything to do with this....it's just following the rules of the site - just like one does on every other gun site that I know of. Thanks Dave.

I'm done with this back and forth, here. See your private messages, please..

Count me in. Crusaders have many other forums at their disposal.

Cleaner, yes...like that old commercial,
Interesting, well, not so much......

Some of us, active posters, don't know what is going on. Who are the guilty parties and how were they chastised?

I don't know what steps have been taken, but the result seems to be a better environment around here. Thank God political season is pretty much over for a while...Geo

Ironically, the NKVD monitor is not being moderated at all. The relative calm has been achieved by stifling opinion that the proprietor disagrees with.

I disagree in that members expressing opinions on both sides of the political spectrum have had posts moderated. I'm all for the clean up.

More than once I have considered leaving this forum but hung in there hoping for a change. Hopefully in time if this site remains civil many will rejoin us.

Definitely works best if it remains a "no politics" zone. Obviously, we're all here because we own, use, and enjoy guns. Enjoy discussing and learning about guns. There are other places for the other stuff.
Posted By: ed good Re: Thanks, Dave - 04/09/21 03:20 AM
discussing politics is fun, entertaining and educational...

too bad some here cannot refrain from personal attacks...

would like to see a return of the misfires forum, but without the personal attacks...
