Like the following post made on KellyR's thread about bumble bees..?

Of all the bees in the US, what percentage do the African bees account for

and

How many stings do they account for?

Say....oh....12% of the total bees, but 76% of all bee stings?

This was clearly a very racist post made soley for the purpose of tossing his biggotted remarks in an otherwise very interesting and inciteful thread!

Furthermore, I have a very close "BLACK" friend that does lurk here occassionally, but refuses to register and post for fear of being chastized by the obvious racists on board.

I'm willing to bet that my buddy knows far more about firearms ([i]especially AR's[/i]), reloading and hunting than 85% of the members here.  Hell, Grin&Barrett actually bought his first AR from him!

Is my friend the type of person we want certain members here to chase away from the boards..?  I certainly hope not!

Below is a pic of him spring Turkey hunting with his new ArmaLite...

I was simply pointing out that a very close friend WILL NOT post here because of this crap...

The fact that he happens to be black does have everything to do when it comes to someone elses' racial slurs!

Why would he want to be a participant here and have to be bombarded by comments from a select few mewmbers such as "Because he's black, he's an inferior human that's not fully evolved."

I emphasized his traits and qualities, so the more intelligent folks around here can see that we are missing a person that could share volumns of valuable knowledge with others here.

Anyone that can't see where my post was headed ([i]by capitalizing the work black, and placing it in quotes[/i]), probably could never understand it anyway.

I'm done ranting, since I'm probably just pissing in the wind anyways.

[*] BTW, my buddy would consider himself more of a local huntin' & fishin' "West Virginia Redneck" than a black guy that grew up on the streets of Brooklyn... So much for "stereotypes"!

My .02.... like anyone cares... ::shrug::

I think if everyone here knew each other in person and were familiar with each other FULL personas (not just the tiny bit you see in a few posts) that a lot of this crap would be settled with a simple "agree to disagree."  

That being said.. there is an opportunity here... complete honesty about a subject that is normally too touchy to be discussed IRL.

I don't agree with McUzi, or anyone else for that matter, who makes broad generalizations about a particular group of people... be it based on color, religion, sexual orientation, gender, etc.  [i]But I will also admit that I do it myself at times...[/i]  It's true hypocrisy.  The only rationalization I have for my behavior is that I try to limit my stereotyping to less volatile groups... to the more socially acceptable groups to rib.

What I'm saying is this.. either you scorn someone for unacceptable behavior or you don't.  But the degree of distain shouldn't be directly proportional to what group someone is coming down on.  I've tried pointing this out before and the thread unraveled into something else.  Again, I include myself as being guilty of this hypocrisy.  

I like your idea, Goatboy, about an area to fully explore this.. be it locked to just you and McUzi or not.  Y'all probably won't see eye to eye on the matter ever but I think the only way to get past this is to go [i]through[/i]this...

I edited your post, Tim, so you could see the hypocrisy that exists.  How do you think the female members of this board feel when we are subject to posts about "why women shouldn't be allowed to vote" and "proof that women are evil", etc... which, BTW, [i]were actual posts that were never locked on this site.[/i]

While I agree it's always been impossible to read through each and every thread ([i]let alone each post[/i]), there are more "board cops" here now than ever before...

General has 5 active Mods, and there are numerous active Admins.

When I was involved, there were very few of us to police things... and only 1 active Admin!

I had specific topics that I watched out for, and 90% of the time, the offending posts were from the same handful of trolls...

The other threads that were generally "axed", took place when I received emails from others asking for this to be done, and clarifing why.

I too have been caught up in negative posts from time to time, as has nearly everyone here, but some just can't seem to quit spewing their ilk...  EVER!

Ed Sr,

I have a lot of respect for you but I'm throwing down the bullshit flag on this one.  There have been a litany of threads that have been incredibly abusive towards women and I can't recall any of them being locked.  The most I have seen a moderator do is profess his love and respect for women and then stand back and let the flaming continue.  Why is that?

I'm not trying to stir the pot, and I too have read posts whose views conflict with my own.  I guess that I try not to get involved, nor let them upset me since, in my opinion, they really do not do that much harm.

Only being on this site for the few weeks, I have noticed that the majority of individuals here are very open, and very intelligent.  These are the people who I like to interact with and learn some very facinating information from (such as the thread on the bees, who would have thought that you could learn about that here?)  The posts and threads that deal with racial, sex, or leo-bashing I tend to ignore.

I am concerned about the idea of banning people. Especially after reading the posts and participating (or attempting to) on the democratictalkradio board. It seems that the majority of us relish our freedoms, especially a certain one.  But by banning individuals, does that not cause us to take away one of their freedoms?

I understand that this site is a good service and contains very valuable information, and additionally the adminstrators of the board can, and should, control it in the way that they see fit.  I guess that I wish that the regular users would just ignore these individuals, or the posts that they find offensive.  By not paying attention, I would think that the posts would go down, or the individuals would go to a board that would pay attention to their views.

Again, this is my opinion, please feel free to flame and poke holes in it as much as possible.

WMmitty,
I think there is a big difference between banning "trouble makers" and doing what Democratic Talk Radio does.  On AR15.com disagreement and debate are welcome.  DTR does not allow anyone with opposing views to participate at all.

I would see nothing wrong with having race discussions, but race bashing is not cool.  Things get too heated, and it makes civil discussions/debates impossible.

Despite my deep fear of getting banned in the massive moderating campaign of July 2001, I will have to stand up and agree with Miss Magnum.

On a perfectly innocent thread, my GF was first compared to a dog, and then called various other names by an offending party.  

And last time I checked, my GF is not a man pretending to be a woman, at least I hope not...

The party also attacked MM on this thread, until it was locked.

Funny thing, guess who jumped in to stand up for the ladies..., McUZI, how's that for irony.

I'm not a McUZI groupie, but I do find the guy amusing and somewhat informative.

however, I have to stand up in his defense.  What the heck has he done lately???  In fact the guy has been very civil in recent threads.  Read some of his posts, he has been a veritable fountain of knowledge.

The only time he has stepped out on his race soapbox is when he was specifically called out, mainly in threads with his name in the title.  What do you expect him to do?  People just love to bring up his name to start s**t, even when he's behaving like a some-what normal member of society.

Maybe if the folks here wouldn't have such an obsession with his beliefs, then they wouldn't even be a topic for discussion.

Actually my being a member there is VERY consistent with my beliefs... that people have the right to express themselves and I have the right to react to it however I choose.  In most cases, I chose not to be offended or simply don't open the thread/forum.  And my comments there are mostly limited to the BS forum...

You know what else is funny?  There are FOUR or FIVE very active women shooter posters over there.. and they haven't nearly the membership this site has.  

And, in case you missed it, I even clearly stated that just because you and I don't agree at times, I would never ask for you to be banned.  

As for McUzi and myself?  Yes... I do know him very well.  And while we don't agree on certain issues, he is a lot more than just what you see here.
