gun ban-once again

It was locked down because Mr. Johny Guest said I was trolling. How is asking a legit question trolling?

Asking many questions in a row that are somewhat controversial the first time on the board is considered trolling. Between the SKS are Bad, Are AR's junk, and Will you violently overthrow the gov't, it would seem that you are trolling.
 
Bro, you're coming off c*ck-strong and you've posted less than 20 times. Posting # doesn't mean squat in the long run, but coming into someone's house and throwing sh*t around isn't going to get many questions answered, but it will get you to the door.
Now, to answer your question. Speaking for myself, I have to follow the law.
 
Dusey, at this point, if you get yourself banned from the site for just... being overboard, you will not have anyone to blame but yourself.

Whether or not you truly are trolling (this is debatable), the moderators have the final say and you will find yourself banned. Even if they're not right, their say will be final.

You might want to coast along for a little bit, lurk a little, and catch the rhythm of the place before you continue on how you are doing.

Bad form to restart a thread after its been locked down, even worse form to question a mods decision in that thread.

But hey stick to your principles :D :) Ive been kicked off Boards, life goes on

I guess only parts of the Constitution are acknowledged here.

You are mistaken about the nature of your constitutional rights.

The First Amendment only has bearing on the government, not on private parties. Freedom of speech does not apply on private property. You cannot invoke your “free speech” rights on a private bulletin board anymore than I can demand a right to “free speech” in your living room. As the owner of the property, you have the absolute right to set standards of acceptable conduct or speech, and your guests have to abide by them. If you hold a gathering in your living room, and one of your guests continuously uses foul language in front of your children, can that guest invoke the “right to free speech” when you tell them to shut up or leave? The answer, of course, is “no”. The Firing Line is not a “public forum”, but private property, operating like a private club, and subject to specific guidelines to which you agreed when you signed up for participation.

That's why any claim of free speech suppression on TFL just shows an ignorance about the nature of civil rights on the part of the claimant.

Now, when a moderator locks a thread, it is singularly bad form to open another one just to thumb your nose at the moderator.

Also, as much as some of our former members want to lay claim to being persecuted Free Speech martyrs, nobody has ever been banned from TFL merely for having an opinion, but for the way they express that opinion.
 
Thanks, all, for laying down the line. His thread about "AR junk/trash" kinda made me sick to my stomach. I'm a frigging junior member, and even I know not to run all over people or post questions just for the sake of arguing. Maybe a debate forum would be better for our friend, where the whole point is to argue and piss people off.
 
And this folks, are the lessons that I've been learning.

I've not a clue what the initial thread was about, and Wild, I hear ya (how the heck did you get banned from THR after I was banned from THR after attacking you which, was wrong and I do apologize. I actually like you, and Spiff as well but he's not around much any more :( ).

Wayne

*sorry, figured I could use an edited post to post offside on other things. You know, give an inch :D
 
Wayne spiffy is around, did ya know he is my Saturday bi-atch boy? Got him on the payroll, and he is yet to take any money home, hmm, need this rifle, this scope, this ammo.....

Never knew you got tossed from THR.....but it least you know why :)

What, did you guys really get tossed from THR?

I quit them and asked for my name to be removed from their list. They told me they couldn't do it. :rolleyes:

Been there, done that. But how many can claim the honor of having been kicked off by the publisher of SWAT? ;)

Have I mentioned he's a most gracious and forgiving man?

Dude you far outrank me, he doesnt even know I exist!

Someday Im gonna be somebody! O well , I think Ill go get tossed out of the DU Board (again)

WildtheunknownidiotAlaska
 
Since this is quite off topic already......

Wild Alaska and Wayne, what boards are THR and DU?? I dont think I have heard of them, and how did you get kicked off if its not too personal? I havent seen anything from either of you that I would consider reason for being booted off a board.

Or maybe this site is just a lot cooler about these things? Im still here arent I?
