Because we upset the idiots.0

Apparently if there are 2 sides to any conversation in a thread, the mods come and nanny-up the place.0

I just got his response (Tommy - MFP mod). In summation - when things spiral into fights, they shut it down. Now personally, I think there was a nice size group of people doing self-moderating of the haters.0

I have hot pistol, that should have qualified.
Actually i have 6 of them. 0 -

I was going to say, after one of the other threads got locked I sent a message to the moderator and he sent me back a very polite response explaining why. I asked him if the people who started the BS and bashing had been spoken to about their bad behavior on the boards

"hot" as in you just fired it or "hot" as in it's a really sexy firearm?0 -
It sucks really because in todays day and age, more and more people are wanting to protect themselfs.
I personally feel like the gun store owners are taking advantage of people who really don't know any better.0 -

I find the the chain stores (Cabelas and such) tend to be manned with just 'salesmen', and not true gun experts (who should sell you the best gun for you, and not just their personal favorites).0 -
wow, id like to get paid to do nothing but monitor groups all day....what a waste of a company's time.0

So ..... I have a question on message board etiquette.
I'm have no problem listening to someone explain to me why they don't like guns (or anything for that matter) even when I don't share their view. What I don't appreciate is preaching and finger pointing.
If the haters show up in this forum and start causing trouble will the moderator do something about them then?
Just curious0 -
We are fortunate to have a great mom and pop style place down the road. I have seen them refuse to sell to someone who was being pressured into buying by a significant other(and was clearly uncomfortable). Good folks.0

Im wondering when/ if the powers that be will shutdown this group?0
-
The mod posted something about threads that alienate one group. Well, that's half the threads on here when you ask about people with tats or when women post about feminine problems, or people ask about a certain type of music, or you have vegan recipies, etc...
There were some pretty good remarks in that thread though.0 -

I think a Desert Eagle is pretty sexy! I like my Glocks too.
And no, I would never own a stolen firearm.0 -
because the mods are gun hating nazi's :grumble: Can I say that in here?? :bigsmile:0

It is sad to see the thread to be locked up.
Basically, we should have ignored the trolls in the thread and to give meaningful response to the OP. So that way people could have the respect for the gun-owners.
I'm looking foward to see some new info in this group. I am usually on Glocktalk.com and it's a big community over there.0 -
Anyone know specifically why it was locked?
If I had to wager a guess it would follow along the lines of this:
Gun ownership/gun control is quite a controversial topic and since there are hardly never any people in between on the topic, there is usually a clash that ends up with one side insulting the other for one reason or another- thus causing controversy which is what the mods attempt to subdue.
Unfortunately, what started as a simple question brought out the ones that are anti-gun and they felt the need to butt in with their opinions where they weren't really wanted or needed and thus the thread got locked.

Thanks for inviting me. I was wondering why it got shut down. I actually thought it was more civilized then some of the threads I have seen.:flowerforyou:0

Silly gun haters. Why do they hate freedom?0
-
It's not so much that they hate freedom- it's that they are ignorant to simple facts. For example, I live in Knoxville, Tn. Most people in the west are of the opinion that crimes don't happen here. It's all in East Knoxville. I don't know how many people I've heard say that guns aren't needed in the west because there are no violent crimes in the west. They just don't realize that it just hasn't happened to them.
Fact is- it does happen in the west too. Not too long ago just minutes from my house, there was a home invasion. The fortunate thing about it is one of the home invaders was killed, the other seriously injured. The man had just bought a .22 for his wife.
Just year before last I was assaulted as I left work at the gas station I was attendant of.
Before that there was a man that stopped to use a telephone literally just down from my house and he was killed for (And I kid you not) a single dollar and a pocket watch.
Two of the three scenarios could have been avoided...0 -
Thank you for the invite0
