Obama cut air tankers...really?

it takes more than voicing your opinion to get banned from arfcom. if it were that simple they wouldn't have any members.

I got banned for wishing everyone a Happy Zombie Jesus day during Easter last year.

You can totally get banned for voicing your opinion, as long as the right people disagree with it.

arfcom aside, do you still think that all these issues are "petty bullshit", and we should welcome rucker with open arms? He can voice his opinions all he wants, but around here they are going to come with some serious backlash.

you telling the guys around here to not rip him and play nice is equivalent to someone walking into a gay bar and start calling them all derogatory names. yeah...that person can voice their opinion but they aren't going to like the results.

This is a forum about guns. Not about politics. He likes guns, we should welcome him. Fuck politics. You want that, go join the RNC forums.

so then why do we have a political forum? Why have you responded to threads in that political forum? Why do you feel the need to defend another member who is fully capable of typing out his own statements just like everyone else, he can ignore them like everyone else, he has to play under the same rules and guidelines like everyone else?

If you don't like politics, don't come in and play. If you don't like to see rucker get attacked on issues that can have strong feelings, you are more than welcome to not read the threads or the responses.

and if want to take a further look, we also have forums for vehicles, hunting, pictures, jokes, survival, knives. and we have dealers that sell things that are gun related and some that are not. I would have to say this is more than a forum about JUST guns.

Why don't we move all these threads to the political forum? Why do you feel the need to attack another member simply because you and he don't have the same ideologies? What rules has he broken? None. Do the rules say anything about harassing other members?

I came into this thread to point out that there was nothing political about OP, that it was a safety concern. My first email responses to it are you being an ass to this guy.

We have sub forums for those purposes, as you have pointed out. The question is, why do people continue to post this shit in GD when there is a place it should go?

Nope it'd be the same

Do you see my name as the OP? no. Do you see moderator next to my name where I could move it into the political forum? NO.

Just just complained that this is only a gun forum yet you acknowledged there is a political forum and this thread should belong there? So which is it or are you just being a hypocrite?

Please quote me where I was being an as TO rucker. Also, I don't believe you were able to do an "email response" as you so say. I quoted and responded to another member alerting him to the option to ignore people.


As HBAR pointed out, if this was in the political forum would you still complain?

What is you reasoning for defending someone who is capable themselves?

As you will see I don't respond to rucker because he is on MY ignore list, so I don't see what he says any more and don't care what he says any more. after this poor excuse for an attack, you are on deck.

I'm inclined to agree.


Rather than dog pile on Rucker for a dessenting view, does anyone have a credible source to refute the Wikipedia statements?

Great question, and I comment with the proviso that Wikipedia isn't necessarily the best cite. However, it's handy, and easy enough to check the cites they list at the bottom.
