  [COLOR=#4D5156]"self-righteous indignation and complacency"
  
  
  "[COLOR=#000000]That and educating the left is an amusement since it is usual futile and draws nothing but their anger at questioning them, makes them double down and makes them run faster... making many essentially either ignorant of the implications and scope, delusional, hate filled, misguided and not understanding the implications or like Goebbels and Al Capone's men, deliberate accomplices... but in the end, still accomplices to some degree. Some can be made to think and look at themselves but you see the same moral and mental base when you read about 1930's Germany, in Solzhenitsyn's books, in Browning's Ordinary Men, etc. people dedicated and drawn to big power, unquestioning loyalty, willingness to ignore moral and empathy based examination and contempt for debate or discussion that disagrees with them or isn't approved by their masters."
  
  Sure reads as morally superior to me

personal attacks or name callin’ is never in order. Describing one by their actions is just a matter of fact. No differant than calling a conservative for exporting conservative ideals.
Thing is you haven't reported this post yet so really what is the intent of your response...just trying to throw mud at mods?
Seems No good deed goes unpunished.

I keep coming back to this thread. I don't know why. I guess I just want to witness the problems getting booted.

I know why you keep coming back. Just like the rest of us it provides us with good entertainment so please carry on everyone!

You're probably right Tigboy. I do find myself laughing out loud when I read this thread.

I know when I took to lurking it was more from other members harassment than any admin/mod actions.

Well there might be a hundred reasons why guests might "lurk" as you put it, I can give you many right off the cuff. They do not have time to post and are busy with daily life, they come on here just for information. They could be new to hunting and fishing and feel they cannot right now contribute to the forum.
Some of them might not like the "debate" and prefer not to partake.

As a moderator have you had these lurking guests CONTACT you and tell you they are afraid to come onto the site because of the so called other members harassment? You see what we consider DEBATE you might consider harassment.

So now that you know some of the many reasons why you have so many guests WHAT ARE THEY GUESTS OFF, answer THE FORUM.

What is in the forum they want and desire, I would imagine a good guess would be CONTENT.

How do you get CONTENT, I imagine a good guess would be from the MEMBERS.

So now that the MEMBERS contributions are down, you know those pesky MEMBERS FOR LIFE designated by your own administration, not by us, guess what pretty soon no guests as there is no NEW CONTENT.

Well FFF….what Rick pointed out above is just about on par with what you scolded Gilroy for…..I think you best review your own actions before acting on anyone else’s

So if stealing money or painting yourself up in face colors to demean others is in my opinion a racist and weasel move am I allowed to label that person a racist weasel and thief without blow-back on this site when I become a mod? Asking for a friend of course, as I gotta get out for a laker trip now.
