Hard to beleive I know, but I'm really not TRYING to be a jerk (any more than I normally am) but it seems to me that the over the past few months, New members IMMEDIATELY gravitate to L&P in an attempt, IMHO, to stir the pot.
This is a gun Board and sometimes I get the feeling that some folks could give a hoot about guns except as they may be part of a political agenda. While I like a good political discussion as well as the next guy, and while there are a huge bunch of folks from all political persuasions here who I think are exceptionally cool dudes, most of them are experienced "old hands" that have some good things to add about guns too...
On the other hand, for example, last night during a light night surf I found me a brand new member posting links to a conspiracy website (which was nipped in the bud by Antipitas) but I think this is indicative of a problem...no offense newbies, but simply because this is Board gun and gun related doesnt mean that we all share desires to restore prayers in schools, white only water fountains, Barack as the new Messiah or the impeachment of the Shrub.
So my gig...can or should new members be restricted from posting in L&P until they get some sand in their shoes so to speak in the gun parts of the Board....would this cull out the drive by agenda folks?
