Gentlemen
I have received several messages this weekend both complimenting the forum for it's former civility and then telling me they are going to leave if the name-calling and personal attacks continue unabated. I agree with them.
The catalyst for this latest round is POLITICS, to the point, gun-control.
This forum is intended to be a meeting place for 16ga. owners and a fountainhead for information about the guns and gauge. Its information that makes this forum worthwhile not rants or opinion.
NO POLITICS ON THIS BOARD. Its divisive, boring and off-topic.
From now on, I will delete posts and topics related to gun control issues or politics in general. Dissenters or repeat offenders will run the risk of being banned from the forum. The issues in question are better suited for other forums not 16ga.com.
Thank you and I look forward to returning to normal.
Regards, --Doug |

Thanks, Doug. I have dropped off several sites over the years because of the inane and insulting comments on several subjects. The threads become more and more insulting as posts are answered with even more insults. It is usually prevalent on sites where anonymity is common.
So, your policy to delete these divisive threads is a good one. I applaud you and your policy.

Sort of like a rain shower after getting in the hay; a clean slate and lung full of fresh air. Nice!

Good call. One of the things I like best about this site is people treat one another with respect. Regards RB |
