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?

I am speaking of human nature. Read history, it is enlightening. Man is basically evil and tribal. We are well behaved when we think we will get caught and know there are consequences. Thus, the need for moderators.

If you are not into reading, look at our "peaceful protests", or maybe videos of how people behaved when Black Friday deals were really deals, or parents fighting over a limited supply of the latest fad gift for Christmas. It started with Cain and Abel and we have not gotten more civilized.

Prince Andrew did not give his accuser over $16 million as a heartfelt "Thank you for your services". Hundreds of other examples.

As to the "ignore button", it will work for members filtering out the jerks. But the issue is visitors to the forum see us acting like three year olds, and decide not to come back or join.

I have been here a few years and of Hay Dude I would say he is opinionated (aren't we all) generally speaks from experience and stands his ground, but not a bully.


On that subject I have found calling names, personal insults, deriding arguments, citing out of context, etc. it to be the device of shallow minds that have run out of logical meaningful argument.
And you've not witnessed Hay Dude do that???

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.
Focus..... I don't have you on ignore....

You have no idea how you would fare with your cousin. You've never took him there.

You my friend are a perfect example of more bark than bite. 😐

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?
Ummm, in regards to the Marine I believe he was talking about his cousin.

I dont think anybody really cares about your little tattle-tale club, or who called who what name.

See what I mean. Who said anything about tattling? Your colors always shine thru. And don't try to tell me how that means you've got balls or your Dad can beat up my Dad or whatever other metaphor you choose to use. :ROFLMAO:

Richard, you use the term 'friend' quite loosely...

He's just another keyboard rambo from what I see. and I only 'see' him at my discretion. Ignore allows me to do that.

Now that you've had a taste of 'Forum B' and it's moderation or lack of, isn't that refreshing? refreshing to carry on a conversation and poke fun at another member without them getting their panties in a twist or you getting chastised, why I like Forum B actually and it's getting new members that hang around and join in the fun all the time as well.

I especially like the head cook and bottle washer over there. He can join in on a conversation and inject some humor with out acting business like constantly.
