Wow, up yonder in handguns a lively dicourse was blooming.... only to be crushed by our moderators friends here at TFL... ah, to be duty bound....

It occurs to me that alot of people take themselfs waaaaay to seriously around here. Information is shared, [and if not misleading to the point of being dangerous], should be taken in that venue using one's own common sense and judgement to separate the good from bad. One would hope that were all amoung friends here and "Can't we all just get along"?

Yea right.......

Guns and thier discussion of them is supposed to be fun. So lighten up out there!!!!

I just watched this morning as TFL rolled over 5,000 members. I’ve heard many people say that TFL is too “politically correct.” The moderators are "too strict." I tend to disagree with that. TFL is a learning institute with a very proud background. With that said, it is obvious why the membership is so high and why it has remained the best forum on the internet.

Just my opinion.

During some of the recent outages I visited some of the other sites, most notably AR15.com and weaponforums. All I can say is; thank God TFL and it's moderators are strict. Some of the members atthe other forums do not do the RKBA any favors.

I haven't been to AR15 in a long time, but if you were at the MSMagazine boards recently you could actually guess where people came from by the tone of their posts. Not good.

But if anybody wants to loan me a sense of humor, I could use it.

Tempers do flare but some of the post are very "light". Sensop's aversion to the green smiley's.

The thread about limp wristing in H&PC where Jessica is even talking dirty.

Oops, sorry Sensop. And at times the suggestions, question & commnets forum is not even safe for a serious post. Twenty responses to someone just saying "test" couldn't get any lighter.

All and all for having 5000 members it is a very nice commmunity to live. And not a shot fired......well in anger at least.

While I've been involved in a couple of threads that became heated -- some of you Republicans are never going to learn! -- I'd have to say that this is overall the most civil forum of its kind on the 'net. I've backed out of others because they were too loosely moderated (anarchy) and have seen a few that were moderated with an iron fist (fascism). TFL strikes me as the perfect combination of freedom and responsibility -- you know, like libertarianism.

Just my 2 cents,This is a great forum,a lot
of info.a nice group of people who love the
sport of shooting. Sometimes we can disagree
but that is ok. If I had a big wish it would
be to have more gun owners see this site and
become more involved.In my younger days I
many times did not see the value of politics,& being more active in the retaining of what you have and love. Ok, enough ramblings of a senior citizen.

Errrrrrrrr ... I see one o' dem little green critters. It's okay. I'm on my best medication tonight.

I think the dose of humor idea is the answer. You only do this once (go through life) and serious all the time ain't gonna get it. You got to choose your battles. Everything in between is fun.

Uh, LadydeeJ, wanna tell me the cow story? Hoohoo ...!

This is more like family, we agree to disagree in a civil manner. We educate each other in many ways. Without moderation, this forum would have been gone for over a year.
It keeps the discussion forthcoming and to the point as well as can be expected in this media. I appreciate the work of the moderators myself. I can get up on my soapbox in a nanosecond and beat my chest but I try to remember how well this forum works with the help of the moderators. Sh**t, Th%y even
scr%w the pooch one in a whi*le!

Jessica, no. You will never live that one down, not as long as I'm a member. LOL

Sensop, we were having a serious gun related discussion when she (LadyDeeJ, affectionately known as Jessica) began talking about barn lot debauchery the likes of this ol' country boy had never heard before. (Since you're on your meds tonight I have to stick some of these in here now.) :D :D :D

11B....err....I mean SVT, no they shouldn't. That last blond over on the other forum caused me to skip dinner tonight. Didn't I ask you post warnings with those? Errgggggggg.......... :D
