Was that the guns (or concealed weapons?) 'discussion'? I was rather perplexed by the way that was handled. Personally, I felt they 'No Politics' rule (which I wholeheartedly agree with) was not enforced in that instance. I could not understand why a perceived 'anti-gun' stance was viewed as political, whilst being pro-gun was considered non-political. At least that was how I percieved it.
I would have liked that issue to have been answered during the 'moderation' process.
Personally, although I understand why there are firearms threads, I'm not over-keen on having weapons on this forum.
Whilst I agree that the bartender system is necessary, I would prefer it if there were clear explanations of why certain contentious posts are removed. That way, it might avoid suspicions of bias and lead to greater clarity.
My point exactly. How can one side of a discussion be political - and the other side not?
Besides that I think VINTAGE guns are great. (Even had a very small - Napoleon period - collection myself once.) They are Interesting to look at and talk about - and absolutely belongs here along with old cars, motorcycles, watches etc. etc. Just can't get it when it comes to modern firearms and huge arsenals at home. Not that vintage, is it? And I don't think they belong here. There are loads of other forums for that, I am sure.
