As an Arkansas construction worker I have no understanding of the pc/ hurt feelings type.
Soon as o get a hint they might be a little soft I have two choices. I either must offend or disappear.
I’ve never set out to intentionally hurt anyone in my life nor have I any intentions to surrender my freedom of speech.

AR👍👍 bottom line is to me? All anyone can do is kill you🤣🤣 rather be dead anyway if I can’t be an individual and speak my mind. Just my 2 cents and by the way, I "woke" up this morning, so all is good. :cowboypistol:

I hate PC and disdain "woke". However, being a public forum, we have to be mindful of what we say in casual discussion in the event it be used as a weapon against us.

The ''chilling effect'' at work.  Len dindo nuffin, nobody did.  Spontaneity from the crew is vital.  If stuff gets out of hand a mod can just delete it.  Big deal.  Let us not become anodyne to the point of GD insipidity.  That's exactly what the enemy is hoping for.

Taste, maturity and a little judgement is all that's required.  We understand the considerations involved.

Don't read too much into this, G. We have a pretty good crowd here and nobody still here has really "pushed the envelope". Come to think of it, not many have used the "report to moderator" link to whine about somebody hurting their feelings either. We mainly try to "Ixnay the Olitics-pay" mostly because those type threads end up where nobody ever intended them to go to begin with. Makes for bad blood and grudges for the most part, and being a black powder gun forum, we don't need to "go there" at the expense of losing members or creating rifts among us. I've seen it destroy too many good forums, and there are plenty of alternative spots to air one's political views on the interwebs, if that's one's desire.
Don't worry, be happy!

I've always trusted your judgement, Captain.  I do now and suppose I always will.  For a pack of alphas we get along quite well here.  It's nice like that and many thanks to you and the other jefes.        :toast:
