    1. The mods know the rules.

    2. Libs and atheists don't get to make up the rules.

    3. Libs and altheists don't get to decide when the rules apply and who

    they apply to.

    4. They should always apply to everybody.

    5. Some people who break the rules get a warning, etc.

    6. Libs and atheists don't get to interpret the rules.

    7. People who are genuinely looking for trouble with people, should be

    apparently breaking the rules, imho.

    8. Religous people, agnostic, and anybody else not lib or atheist, also do not get to

    make, interpret, change the rules, nor do they get to decide when they apply

    and who to.

    9. Squirrel and dumplings will be great, but I'm saving that for Thanksgiving. And, I'm only buying

    certified seed when it comes to peppers, because this year, my sweet peppers have freakin hot

    pepper plants in the sweet pepper row. Tonight, I'm making stuff, and I was cleaning sweet peppers

    for vidalia onion relish, and sweet salsa, and my hands starting burning, and I had already got it

    in my eyes, and gagged out on the deck. Dammit. But my husk tomato jam turned out great.

    10. Steve is doing a fine job letting freedom ring around here, and if somebody needs

    to actually get banned, it is the mods decision, and that won't be decided by other board

    members bitching. The ignore thing works, I use it.

  • I think that just about sums it up, guys. I'm not exactly sure what the rules are but in cases when somebody is threatening or calling for people to be killed or whatever I usually just take a meat axe to it. As far as I'm concerned I wish guys would try not to be complete assholes or pricks and that's basically because it's no fun to read an argument or participate in one if all you get back is fuck you faggot suck my cock blah blah blah.

    I can edit threads or DELETE threads with my moderator tools but I think that's about it. If I think somebody's being too much of a jerk I can ask to take a look or to boot somebody off and if they agree they will do it. I just don't take that action lightly.

    I don't want any of the guys to think that I would consider tossing a guy off because he called you mean names. We are men we can put up with some shit or as Cal and die hard both mentioned just ignore the fucker. A troll will die of natural causes if it isn't fed.

    Also try to ask yourself if when somebody says something threatening are you or are you not actually afraid they might carry it out? If not, stick them on ignore.

    Of course if someone is being such an asshole it's ruining a semi pleasurable experience for us all, as was the case with bunker, I can always ask the administrators to shit can them.

    so that's about it, I guess try to live by this one guideline: Try not to be a complete dick head but if you must at least try not to do it all the time.

    We do have access to your permanent records.

  • Useful idiots ( disenchanted Obama voters) are welcome too ????

  • 2. Libs and atheists don't get to make up the rules.

  • If I said I was going to kill Cal, and posted pictures of a bunch of deformed dead bodies, I would have already been banned...

  • I laughed my ass off at that one, Vapor. Excellent !

  • I'll bet Woody's father was happy as hell when he shipped off to College. Just saying.......

  • I'd imagine so. I mean, I was going to a great school that he knew was my top choice and I was getting an engineering degree, which he also did. Aside from the very high tuition costs he was probably very happy/proud for his son...

  • So when someone says let's kill all Muslims, should I take that as a threat? 🙂

    Oh probably.

    And still guys I suggest you try to mitigate your damages. Putting assholes on ignore is the best way if you are unable to avoid their posts that offend you so.

  • How do you do that? I couldn't find it from my phone

  • So Vapor, are you going to specialize in Geriatric medicine? Me, Cal, and WSS need a PCP.

  • When anger turns towards bigotry across the board, it's always

    self-defeating to the angry person. Not all nazis

    hated and murdered Jews.

    There are always a small minority in any race, or group of whatever kind,

    that is a blight to the reputation of the group they allegedly ? belong to.

    It pitifully ignores all the rest of the majority that shouldn't be classed as the bad guys.

    Hating all "x" because of a smaller, despicable element in "x" isn't smart.

    OMG Cal I can't believe you just said that. It brings a tear to my eye.

    *******************************************

    Actually, I don't need one yet, because when I turned 50, I started counting backwards so when

    I get into my 80's, I'll actually be only 20-something. And I don't look my age because I'm chronically

    immature.... At least after meeting Vapor at the tailgate, he probably doesn't think I look close to 64....

  • So you're kind of like the male Joan Rivers of the BB.

    Actually when you get in to your 80s you'll be hitting your 'teen' years.

    50->50

    60->40

    70->30

    79->21

    82->18

  • Ha. Except I didn't count backwards when I was in the service,

    because I didn't want to violate the UCMJ as far as lying to

    a superior officer. That's four years, puts me back into the twenties. 😎
