What exactly do you farm with no tractor?
I am not a farmer. I plan to move to West Virginia and live rural. I learned a lot from you guys here just reading your threads. Home invasion had been my first concern. Now I think the worst fear is people dumping trash on my property.

I have a list of the tractors I would need.

Ok, then moderate it for guys who drive tractors to tend to their properties. I don't get the feeling that there are any women here. Not even in the cooking threads! All guys sharing recipes.

I'll bet the average guy here could crush my hand in a friendly handshake. And I am supposed to be tractorless wimp. So why is a tough ex-marine like you calling for moderators?
Im not an ex-marine.
Im a current farmer. I also do off farming income cause I cant make enough just farming.

But I think even a real tough or pseudo tough marine, really ANY marine, would want forum moderation, but in “moderation”.

I am not a farmer either, I don't even own any land per se. I am the care taker and general handy man for my blind older brother who owns the 20 acres and the 3 horses. I own 1 tractor plus several implements and my brother owns the newer one. I built fences, cleaned up and maintained his previous property and I will be doing the same here once the snow clears and the frost is out of the ground. However I would never say "WE" are mostly farmers here.

That's a good one. You impress me. A creative hay farmer.
Ive been told I have a talent for seeing through BS and pseudo tough guys right quick.
Other than that, Im just your average Joe aging out. :(

Hey, its been fun playing along with your charade with a heating pad under my back and a bottle of Aleve to OD on.

Oh I do, but believe me, hes over my house and we talk. We grew up more friends than cousins. But I could beat him up and down the block. Its just the way it is. Theres guys who could do same to me, too.

15 weeks of marine corps boot camp doesn’t guarantee you bad azz status. Someone may be a marine, but theres marine corps chauffeur’s like Pete Butigeig. Theres Marine corps stenographers and Marine corps truck drivers. ALL should be shown respect, just like everyone else, but some are more bark than bite.
Is that fair?
But keep me on “ignore”, K?
Works for both us.
Part of marine training is to help them believe. I know of a bunch of guys who went to boot camp and came home ready to mix it up with people. Unless they were already a BA when they went in, it didn't end well.

My family has mostly worn AF blue, but I respect the Marines...not necessarily each individual marine.

The list of tractors would depend on property size and plans for the property. Dumping trash has not been a problem where I used to live an a state highway, and it certainly won't where I live now. Home invasion in rural areas is rare since it is the general belief that every rural home has at least one firearm. Unless you are selling, raising, or wholesaling controlled substances the chances of a home invasion is quite remote.

Ok, I use the term "farmer" loosely. I was thinking of a breed of men who tend the land. In the old days, they were homesteaders.

Do you think there is a need for moderation in this forum? I don't understand why tough guys with tractors living in rural places where they rely on themselves without help of law enforcement can't deal with loud mouths on an internet forum without moderators.

We had a lady here who was driven off by some of the jerks we have. I reached out to her to come back but she was done with us. (GirlWithaTractor IIRC).

Moderating is necessary for a forum. People are basically evil and need to be reined in when they get stupid. You can find other places where there is a more laissez-faire protocol if that is what you want/need.

The purpose of the Front Porch, hopefully, will not be to provide a drag'em out venue for insults and name calling. Some want to discuss Covid, politics and even religion in a mature way. Maybe it is not possible...maybe we are too immature. Worth a try I think.

Are you imagining this? Name me one evil poster haunting the threads of this forum.

I don't know where the ignore button is or how it works. Doesn't this block the evil?
