Being hit by George Patton, with a blunt object?


I received a generalized bashing, and all I got was this stupid concussion.

If you say cop A is a criminal and this is why, even if it is wrong you are not going to get locked.  If you say the majority of cops are criminals you are going to get locked from arfcom, seems simple enough to me.

Maybe it's a way to deal with the people that know how to obviously violate the CoC with careful phrasing and context?

Because account locks without warning are in style?

I dunno.

I used to think it took a severe COC violation to get insta-banned, but I've seen several of these situations lately.

You have to understand there are really only about a dozen people who post cop bashing threads. Three of them are still on the forum by the grace of God, and the rest are found familiar at least once a month... each. They just keep creating new accounts, posting stupid shit, and getting banned again.

This place is generally LE friendly. There is just a very vocal minority fucking it up. Kinda like the open carry crowd.

The final lines from the OP, "Just more of America's outstanding law enforcement. Just remember, the majority ARE NOT good people. In before the bluethers.



Since we have a large number of LEOs as members, he basically attacked them all. That is enough to get you an account lock around here.

I don't start that many threads. Yesterday I was researching animals for a game ranch and I posted a YT video with an animal I had never seen before. It was the first video I found but apparently it was a little too "cute". The thread didn't go anywhere but the first response was to call me "gay" . I guess that's OK in GD and should have known better.

That's a slippery slope.  How often are hippies, basement dwellers, liberals, etch. bashed on here?  That seems like a comment that would be easily defensible by LEO so let them bash the OP back.  This place is going to suck if we can't blow a comment like that off.

I didn't lock the guy, but I'm sure that was the reasoning behind it.



As others have mentioned, the site is considered pro-LE. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to stay.



If you do choose to stay, you do so with the knowledge that generalized bashing of LEOs can earn you an account lock.

It's ok. People that come into contact with the police generally not good people. This is a pro LEO site, and that extends to the bashing of the gereral populists that comes into contact with one of the many excellent officers in the nation.

When this site becomes pro hippy, or whatever, then generalized bashing of them will probably be a problem as well.



I'm not debating whether it should be this way or not, I'm just stating that is how things currently work here.

Personally, I don't want this site to be pro anything except for guns.  Let people have discussions based on the merit of their ideas.  That's what I like about this site.  If we have to all march lock step in our thought processes we may as well join DU with the rest of the idiots.

You have to remember the political environment that the site exists in too.  What happens to the site if it develops a reputation as the place where people love evil assault rifles and hate cops?  There are people in power who would love to shut down a site like this and call it a breeding ground for domestic terrorism.
