Personally I am in favor of this Social Experiment.
Newer folks may not be aware of the fact THR came about after TFL closed down for a bit. TFL set the bar for all internet gun forums. Rich challenged all of us TFL members to not just continue on, instead to further raise the bar in any and all Responsible Firearm Ownerships Pursuits we undertook.
THR is one such pursuit.
I, like many others enjoy having fun. I like many others "express" myself out in the real world. Mature members are not going to make fun or snicker when the proper name of file is typed. Folks that frequent the Blackpowder Forum do not act like a bunch of daycare kids when reading about nipples.
You want to be perceived as immature, snickering kids that want attention, by participating in abusing filters, not even making an attempt to write a complete sentence, use paragraph breaks, or punctuation - LEAVE THR.
Go start your own forum, where you can w00t and holler and have a good old time.
Some of us want to Preserve Freedom and Fight Tyranny, always been folks like us, always will be.
There have always been those that caused black eyes, aided the enemy by distracting efforts on the home front.
I do not want you here, there is the door and I do not care if it hits you in the butt on your way out.
You will NOT come whining and crying to me when your local jurisdictions are restricting your rights - you were too busy playing and being "cute", distracting efforts some of us, many of us not even in your jurisdictions were fighting for, working our tails off to assist the folks in your locales.
Rosey Greer stood at the bedside of Richard Pryor as he lay badly burned from a freebasing gone bad. Greer kept asking Pryor one question:
What are YOU going to do?
One cannot change people, places and things. The only thing a person can change is themselves.
-Straighten up and help raise the THR bar.
-Get Banned
-Pick up your joysticks and leave.
What are you going to do?
There is more to responsible firerarm ownership than firearms.
