thanks for the welcome gents...
I'm not complaining just asking a question. Don't mean to tread on taboo territory. The mods at THR implied that this forum was less strict regarding censorship? I've not violated the TOS agreement, have I? Please move this thread to the roundtable, if necessary.
Balog, some might find using the b-word, in your context, as offensive. You're a senior member, am I to understand that routine use of gutter language is OK around here?
bigjake, 2a-related threads are routinely locked over at THR for political content. Except for the photo threads noted, hence the original question.
ilbob, aren't discussion forums for discussion? Adults can respectfully discuss things without getting nasty, can't they? That was my impression of the implicit meaning of "highroad". "If you don't like it leave"; seems quite a bit less respectful than that...but, if that is the ethic officially promoted by staff on this board, I'll certainly accept that.
Perhaps the forum owner (or others on staff) could illuminate the apparent discrepancy here, for the benefit of all...there's an idea! The current approach seems to have been that the collective staff perceived a problem, huddled up in secret, and rendered a decision which was not up for discussion. This forum was offered as an alternative, maybe I understood this all wrong?
Again, just asking what I thought was a simple question. Don't mean to step on anyone's egos.
