There's really nothing outrageous about flame warriors. It's just people having fun and posting whatever they want without some moderator arbitrarily deciding what to moderate.

There are very few things that would ever get moderated on that forum. One of them is spam.

But if you go look through the threads over there you'll see that most of the conversations are just freewheeling and not outrageous in any way.

That sounds spooky!

FW is a leg hump 45 board. If you don't hump 45, you are relentlessly attacked. Spam is anything that doesn't support hump 45. ICOM is almost as bad.

I can see how a TDS sufferer might get that impression.  However,  Believe it or not (and I know you don't, judging from your posts here)... not ever subject is related to "45". 

I know I'm speaking to a brick wall.

So yeah... You might as well get this thread closed too.

is that why you were there for 15 years until I kicked you out?

So freedom of speech only goes so far, eh?

I am not the brick wall sluggo.

There are 4 simple rules.

I did not permanently ban him. I have only permanently banned one person in 15 years, and that involved the FBI.

You might like it there. No one will bite. We have some pretty radical left guys there that do post ant- 45 stuff all the time. One guy actually just spams it. Milo used to be one of those.

There is complete freedom of speech there, but I won't allow anything illegal, NTSF stuff out of the designated area and no spamming.


One thing that I recently added - since I am no longer there as a member...  I probably not allow anyone disrespecting me like Milo did. I didn't mind when I was there to defend myself, but now I am paying for that place and I may or may not get upset if someone refers to me as an "it" after all I provided for the place.

I'm human and I'm a good person. It takes A LOT to get me upset - and even then I have NEVER used my moderator powers to mess with anyone. I am completely fair and almost impossible to rattle.

My number one responsibility is to be completely unbiased in moderation. I think if you ask anyone, they will tell you that no one could possibly be more fair than I am.

You got at least one dude there advocating for a second holocaust. Funny, I suppose, to the right crowd, but definitely not my cup of tea.

Freedom of speech is hard.  Then again no one is forcing you to hear or read… walk/scroll past.   Crazy talk, right?

as long as no one does anything illegal, it's just free speech and not harming anyone. I doubt whoever said that was serious. I didn't see the comment though. It's a very busy forum and I don't even go over there often. Maybe once a week at most.

I met a lot of good people through that forum. And we don't all agree politically, but people are friends. We lost several people too. Some of that hurt pretty deeply. People pass away and a era is just gone.

In the very beginning, people flooded over to that forum. At first it was pretty novel - that they could cuss or call me names, or say what they wanted. After a few weeks it just settled into a bunch of people that started out with similar interests. In flying, Aces High, Air Warrior, gaming, history, etc

I got upset with those guys and left, but I still love those guys. All of them - even Milo and Spitbull.

I may go back some day. I miss them.
