This is my last post on TBN

[Diggin It]

Lemme get this straight. TBN is ‘bad’ because it is over moderated and TNT is ‘bad’ because there is no moderation.

Boggles yer noggin, don't it?

Aren't you exceeding your 3 posts a day limit???

If you read Mike's post thoroughly you would see it's not science that closes the threads. it's politics. And it's idiotic to not see that.

Umm. You are making my point. Covid is a science issue, but people stupidly make it a political issue.

This will be my last post on TBN. I post this so my friends here will know where I have gone, and that I am not dead. Not yet anyway.

I just cannot in good conscience live with the level of heavy handed and one sided moderation and the last straw was the rules change by Muhammad that Covid 19 threads would no longer be tolerated. I can't live with that level of censorship and "wokeness"

And yes I will NOT let the screen door hit me where the good Lord split me.

I am over on AR15.com a much more tolerant and diverse forum. See you over there.

Were you only here for the Covid-19 discussions?

As @MikePA said, I made the decision to ban covid-19 discussions because this is a tractor site, not a general news site, or a politics site. That and we tried allowing the covid-19 discussions but it didn't work out. The topics consistently drifted into politics and those needed to be deleted and members were getting banned and everybody was unhappy.

MC, do you have a published list of topics we cannot discuss? Maybe that would clear this up?

Of the eleven things banned, I regularly see seven. Other members can do their own math.

The problem is how punishment is dealt.

If I violate, punish me, if that includes deleting my post send me a PM outlining my violation and the consequences. If that includes banning me for a time, again explain to me why.

And I'm even in favor of public declaration of the violation I committed and the punishment executed. As others have said, we are all big boys.

Just distribute control and punishment fairly. And do it openly. That's all any of us is asking.

Lastly, I thank God for the ability to sit here and type this post!!! Is that a violation?

I hope it all works out for you K0ua. "Fair winds and following seas"...

I, for one, have always been on TBN to talk, and especially learn, about tractors and all of the related topics we discuss. Most of the contributions I've made have usually been a repetition of what I've learnt here.

Take care Mate.
