    For those of you who want to discusss politics, do you really think someone is gonna read your posts and suddenly change their lifelong view and change just because of something you wrote? Total waste if time!

    my 2 cents.. first a big thank you to Scotty Overkill and all mods.. we all really need to remember they do this for FREE! in their spare time which takes time away from family, friends.. let's be realistic we can all make more money but there is only 24 hours in a day..
    I understand at times they feel they have to limit some things that are objectionable.. some my take offense because they did not intend the post to be taken in that manner... I have re-read my own posts and saw that without a smiley that sarcasm could be taken wrong or not way intended.. As my 12 year checks out this site I am very glad this site is family friendly!

    :yes:or the lack of punctuation.

    I even try to go back and reread posts to make sure they sound respectful.

    I asked uncle Jack earlier if he mentioned anything about beer.
    He advised to pour #7 brain balm on it and call him in the morning!

    Well said my friend!!! And as he said, it was not any one single person.

    This is "Your" (the members/family) place and we just want to make sure that it sticks to the course of the original vision Scotty had!

    Just to add to the other posts-I like this site! I have my beliefs, but I don't have to "sell" them here. I enjoy stopping by after a stressful day, where I have my share of responsibility, deep thinking, and big decisions, to read about the important things...

    Chainsaws, tractors, and all sorts of boy toys! Now and then a discussion about Saturday night cocktails, and sometimes some inspirational news or comments. Thanks to all who make this forum so enjoyable.

    I don't mind if someone wants to waste their own time posting whatever they like. It's a big Internet out there, room for everybody and their thoughts, good, bad, or indifferent.

    It's when MY time gets wasted I get a little testy. There's so much great content here that it gets a little frustrating when you are forced to spend a significant chunk of your free time here moderating the joke/funny pictures thread. And then some even get upset when something gets deleted without explanation. No harm no foul, it just wasn't appropriate and it gets deleted. No warnings, no staff PMs, no big deal. But some treat it like a public stoning.
