Caleb, until now one could avoid the worst of the venom by staying away from Misfires, but recently even reading the main board requires donning a HazMat suit and undergoing decontamination after. A few members are still foaming at the mouth because there is a black man in the White House; you can just see them typing the second 'g' before catching themselves and changing it to 'Kenyan' or 'Negro'. The rabies slobber is starting to leak into the main forum and the rest of us get splattered. Wow! Someone starts a thread about the incivility of certain posters and this pops up. As PostOak points, funny how it's always okay for some to behave this way but not others. I'll take RWTF'S silly and antiquated comments about women any day over crap like this! Good thing no one has to choose RWTF's stuff over this. But you're totally right, rudeness and name-calling comes from all sides, and reflects only on the speaker. Jay

For the past several years I've enjoyed following this board. It's always been decent and civil, with a consistent focus on our common interest in double guns.
The couple times I've logged on recently the board has been full of racist and misogynistic comments, as well as political rants.
Calebg, it does happen from time to time, people like yourself talk about women, politics and their opinion on various agenda's..... Just happens here on the main board once in awhile I guess ....?......Maybe you should try a more "sterile" board and you would be happier.....? 1-08-12 Very interesting main board post by calebg himself, the original poster now whining....: Meg Whitman was not the founder of Ebay. She was just a hired marketing goof who was in the right place at the right time. She came from a marketing background at companies like Proctor & Gamble, Disney, Hasbro. She got to Ebay at a time when a poorly trained monkey could have grown that business. Being anti-gun and having political ambitions within the Republican party don't play well together, even in California. Looks like her political ambitions won out.Yup, Five stars for postoak: Don't you just love how Leftist get to decide "What is decent and civil" ?
What a whiney bunch.

Yep James: And please note most of these complaining "posters" have very low count numbers. I wonder why and how they've all just "discovered" this non-issue to complain about?? ONE poster uses the word "lesbian" in the untold thousands of threads here so now we're all misogynists! Now; You don't suppose there's some sort of hidden agenda here? Jim, I don't know who you're including in "we're", but I can't see how Caleb's criticism of negative comments about women shows intent toward anyone but the poster of those comments. "Hidden agenda" here is truly a mystery. Jay

One need only look at the Fausti thread in THIS forum. I hadn't even looked at the Fausti thread because I have no interest in them. You should have been more specific and said that it was Run With The Fox who was posting things which are denigrating to women. We have tried to get him to stop but to no avail. Surely he has a mother, sister, wife, daughters, or granddaughters. You'd think he'd show a little respect, and also realize that many women support and participate in the shooting sports. But please don't act like this behavior from him is anything we haven't see before. It has certainy been here in the main forum too. But you are aparrently a very infrequent visitor. I don't expect we will ever get him to change, so most of us just ignore it. And please don't paint the whole board with the actions of one man. I'd bet a beer I could find that he said something similar in 2008. Now if you really want to see some seriously misogynistic stuff, you ought to read the vile, filthy, disgusting things that nca225 said about my daughters last year after the Newtown school shootings. And he's one of those Liberal Democrats who made a big fuss about Mitt Romney putting women's profiles in binders. He also pretends to be a gun guy, but has strongly supportet the restrictions on the Second Amendment which are advanced by Barack Hussein Obama & Co. Hey- I'm NOT a mysogynist- Hell, I don't even visit any OB-GYNs on a regular basis, as I do my dentist- I believe women are the fairer sex, and are to be protected and cared for by the menfolk- the way my father and both grandfather taught me-- My granddad told me that there things that are a man's birthright- that women have NO business being involved in- back in his day, they called the Feminists and Lesbians- Hoydens"--and earned run average was the ONLY meaning for ERA-- The things that are a man's domain in his era all started with the letter P- Politics, Shooting Pheasants and Pool (14 & 1 straight pool, call the pocket, no "slop" and snooker and billiards too-Poker, and taking a pee behind a tree when you are in the woods. Protective of my Grandmother Rose- Hell yes- a alccholic neighbor made an indecent proposal to her face, and Grandfather Sean, son of a Belfast Mick Green Irish bareknuckle prize-fighter (and Ship's Millwright at Harlan & Wolfe until 1909) put the sad sorry sod into the hospital for 3 months-- None one my wives or daughters or granddaughters (as of yet)have shown any interest in Guns and Gunning as of yet- except my oldest granddaughter- Sophia Anastasia Cantana-- so in another year, I'll start her with the same Stevens .22 Walnut Hill single shot my Dad gave me at age 10--But win, lose or draw, you can bet your sad sorry ass that NONE of my family will ever point a gun at anyone, or pick one up and play with it as they might a set of, say, crochet needles -- as far as the old German/European concept of women belonging with the: Kinder, Kirch und Kuchen-- children, Church and in the kitchen--if we more of that concept in pour Christian world in America today, we would have less welfare dependency, child abuse, and ghetto crime-- Nothing mysoggy about that, ey wot, Gov???

LOL, Jay, yes I too am glad I don't have to make that choice. Like many, I would prefer this stuff to be in misfires, if only to keep the peace. Not sure why it's here. And, as anyone who follows misfires would know, I prefer politeness to slander. But and it's a big but (not speaking to you here Jay but any reader), I resent efforts to suggest that talking about these issues aren't important to gun owners. I live in a country where we didn't talk about it for a long time. You won't like the results. And truthfully, I kinda like RWTF's posts on the subject of women. It reminds me the old days weren't necessarily the good old days.

What a whiney bunch. You got that right and they are usually the first to start the name calling like this clown- Greg Elliot,and then cry like a little girl to Dave to ban anyone who fights back ! http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=368466&page=6The wackos have won.
This board is officially dead...

Jay Jay, maybe you ought to read calebg's initial post where he says this place seems to be full of angry blowhards (plural). If he had a problem with Foxy, maybe he should have addressed just that, and certainly not in this section. He still hasn't shown us the racism. Sorry that I missed the negative comments about women. As I've said a hundred times, I don't look at everything here. Nobody forces me to click on things I don't like. I'm also sorry I missed calebg's negative comment about Meg Whitman. Nice catch Doug (PA24). People who live in glass houses maybe oughta' not throw stones. Certainly, calebg must have seen a lot of extremely negative words written about Sarah Palin by some of the same folks who are all up in arms about misogyny. Of course, I might as well get it on the table right now. I despise Hillary Clinton for the same reasons I despised her husband. Being a woman has nothing to do with it. Any gun guy who votes for her might as well hear now that she is as anti-gun as Obama. Canvasback is absolutely correct about the efforts to silence the message about the very real threat we face. Only difference between Hillary and Bill is that Bill is/was a sexual predator. But again, many of the anti-misogyny folks here gave him a pass for raping Paula Jones and Jennifer Flowers, and exploiting a young female intern named Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office. And then he lied under oath to Congress about it. Gregg Elliot, were you perhaps one of them? And if this board is officially dead, why do you keep coming back? Necrophilia perhaps? RWTF, do ya think maybe it's time to just leave Grandpa's pre-suffrage attitudes about a woman's place back in the early 20th century where they belong???
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

As much as I disagree with OWD's polical views, I think he's right about this forum heading south. I'm growing tired of this constant barrage of political infighting and all that stuff. I'd rather read about gun related things. It's somewhat understandable with all this terrible stuff in the news, but I'd rather get depressed watching the news than get depressed reading the stuff here. I wish some of the folks that inundate us with all this political stuff would take a break for awhile and start talking guns again, which is what this forum is about. In a sense, it's too bad IMO, that Dave started Misfires. He did it, i believe hoping it would take all that stuff away from the gun related forums, but it appears that backfired because Misfires material is all over the main shotgun forum now, and habitually so.
Socialism is almost the worst.
