What ?

[Rick Richard]

The whole thread on ammo to Ukraine was deleted.... Hmmm...

Yes, I see that now. However, I am not the owner of this forum and we have to abide by their rules. It would have been appreciated if a reason would have been provided for the deletion. Oh, well. We move on.

Kinda of funny that the site try's to separate shooting sports and politics , aren't they directly related in regards to some of the shortages?
Hard to keep them separate sometimes, and is it len or a moderator.
I'm not sure how the whole thing works yet, heck, I'm green as grass to this site.

Unfortunately alot of good forums are handled by fundamentally liberal folks that like to think they are something they are not....actually they are a big part of the problem, not the solution. They cry foul, but it's really themselves that are creating the division.

Not what I was trying to say. Censorship. Whatever. I'm done.

It is amazing how little people understand censorship and free speech.

it's more the rabbit hole issue here and not fostering an argumentative atmosphere... If I want to light up a lib I'll go over to facebook and have a laugh

I dont think we're talking about lighting up libs here. We're talking about a general discussion that a lib "feels" offended or needs to be more righteous and rather than not cl8ck on the thread or click and back out, they want to declare someone else's opion wrong or go ahead and cancel them completely. BIG DIFFERENCE than lightning some poor helpless group up.

The fact remains that this isn't a political forum. I don't care if the said group is helpless or not.

I agree lefty, but politics and shooting sports are sometimes related, so I /we have to always worry about what we say.
Why can't they make a section for that and politely move those conversations over to it, and let people debate, and if someone doesn't want to hear it , they don't have to click on it .

Unfortunately It's not always a debate or discussion.

There's always someone that stirs up the nest and the thread goes to crap. Someone always gets mad and disrespectful and the thread ends up being locked or deleted.

We had some good discussions on that Ukrania thread, and I enjoyed it while it lasted. It was bound to go bad though, it always does, reason why politics aren't welcomed here. I think we can all agree on that.

While I understand the frustration and I'm definitely guilty of jumping into threads I know won't last or skirting the lines. I did in that exact thread haha, I don't mind that they are stern on the politics, the cursing and rude behavior. This forum is is about as civil as it gets on the internet. So while I don't always agree necessarily I get it and appreciate the civility.

?? you just did

Last night I couldn't post anything or even send a PM to Len. I'd start typing and it would would cut me off . I didn't say anything bad. There were some that were getting out of hand and I knew the thread would be deleted. I wonder if it happened to others ? I'm calm now .

It's the Long Range Hunting forum. Reading. It's fundamental. There are innumerable places to discuss other topics like global politics.

This site has never been a political theater... most of us are pretty conservative and I'm not really interested in chest beating about it. I haven't been able to listen to talk radio lately because of all the dead horse beating. I'd rather this site not go that way...

I'm with you. It's the same here in . I'd rather spend time on this sit discussing all things hunting, outdoors guns and ammunition. However I do believe in free speech as long as it's not insisting hate and or violence. I'm assuming that's Y the Ammo to was removed.
Just my 2c
