    Okay, I’m going to step in here for a minute and make sure that everyone understands something about the use of this forum.

    I just deleted a post for using anti-Semitic language and have warned the person who posted it.

    I know I’m still the newest kid on the block as far as Mods and Admins go, but let me make this clear: From this point forward, any post that in any way expresses bigotry or hatefulness based on someone’s race, color, national origin, sex or religion will earn the poster a warning and a vacation from the forums.

    A second offense and that vacation will be permanent.

    Just delete this entire thread. It's a hunting forum. Let all the wackos go find somewhere else to try to find friends, and cohorts. I could use a break from Germ anyways

    That is not progress. We do not agree with that here.

    Why Tim?

    Muslims worldwide are hell bent on destroying everything you and I believe in.

    I have ZERO respect for them!!

    LC served to protect the U.S.A. free speech is a HUGE part of being an American!
    I'm 100% against (gay sex). I don't call it out often but if there is a time that I feel like voicing my opinion on the topic, I should be able to do that. No, I won't be vulgar.
    If this post offends LC of any other mod and they feel like i need a vacation, so be it.

    I think voicing your opinion on that is just fine as long as you don't cross the line, just like all of us. None of us are perfect.

    As a matter of fact yes, Islam too.

    I have known and worked with a lot of Muslims in my life. I’ve even served with quite a few in the military.

    I’ve deployed into war zones where the enemy combatants were Radical Islamic Militants. I’ve also seen a few good friends and two family members not return from fighting that enemy.

    It’s one thing to hate Al-Qaeda, ISIS or Radical Islamic leadership. It’s another thing to hate all Muslims. In reality, you’re free to do so if you like. I struggle with my own demons when it comes to Islam, but as a Moderator of this forum I’m obligated defend them against bigotry.

    You’re right. You’re free to express your opinion on here as long as it doesn’t cross the line and venture into something demeaning, disrespectful and derogatory.

    The first amendment protects you from being punished by a government entity for expressing your opinion. It doesn’t protect you from being fired from your workplace if you violate their policies and it doesn’t protect you here if you violate forum rules.

    From this point forward, (any post that in any way expresses) bigotry or hatefulness based on someone’s race, color, national origin, sex or religion .[/QUOTE]

    I totally agree Brett. We've been doing that for years. Most here are mostly civil.
    I'm trying to digest the part in ( ).

    Heck, 1/2 the Me'mes would violate this rule.
    Perhaps I'm over reacting but if someone crossed " the line", I think LC should have sent a message to that person instead of making a post warning us all.
    Sota, MnHunter and myself live in Mn. We are being inundated with those from other countries that are destroying this state.
    Race,religion is real.
    I'm a white/ Christian male. Proud of it!!, and ain't gonna apologize.
    When I seen the George Flloyd riots taking place live on the news, I've said it before and will forever..., looked like a troop of Baboons meeting.
    When I seen news clips of Muslims rejoicing when the twin towers went down, that totally pissed me off and 20 years later I still feel that way.
    There are just some things we need to discuss as being Americans.
    I think those of us here do a good job doing it without being over the top.
    This all being said, (2 beers worth), no doubt being a Mod can be a daunting task.
    Iffn I get the boot, thanks for the years of friendship fellas. Great bunch of people here.
    BnB.

    well, 30% of people are certifiably retarded and/or insane; the other 3% are benefiting financially...and diabilocally insane.

    It works for the gun control crowd.

    It’s everyone’s fault but the perpetrator. Everyone is victimized society.
