CL I agree there is a lot more to being a patriot, but it begins with opening your eyes and being willing to question the actions of our leaders. Denying questionable behavior and refusing to look at facts as presented is more cult-like than patriotic. There is no question our system is corrupt from top to bottom. Any patriot would expect more than lies and excuses from our government. B/A 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going to define what this site represents by redefining free speech on this site? Pathetic and delusional..... It really might be better if you took your devisiveness else where......it's getting old! JMO. CL They don't believe in free speech as is seen in every post made by them. For example, B/A posting the definition of Moderator, is an attempt to get to stop debating because Moderators "shouldn't get involved ". I don't know what @Adam Montana thinks of my political views or my method of debating. But the one thing I do know is that Adam wants the site to get traffic and vigorous debate does that. If he has an issue with me there's a section for Mods that he would tell me his issue in. 56 minutes ago, bostonangler said: CL what is the point of discussion if opposing views are not appreciated. What if I said if this was my site you would gone because I disagree with you. I suppose I would be considered The Deep State or George Soros. Most people here on DV don't even wander to this part of the site because they don't find politics entertaining or stimulating. Then there are those of us who enjoy the banter. Gratefully, Adam may not appreciate everyone's views on politics, but he does seem to appreciate the worthiness of everyone's input and their right to express themselves. Basically it is good for business. Imagine how boring it would be if I wasn't here for everyone to neg... It would become a boring lovefest of hand holding and singing Kumbaya.

You refuse to even consider reading something from the other side. That's not true... I happily posted a damming article yesterday about Biden and his voting against the rights of Americans... Even CL thanked me for it. I said in a post just the other day, the Democrats have no one I will vote for at this point. I freely point out problems with politicians from both sides. Have you ever seen something you didn't like with any of them, other than they oppose Trump? There are conservatives who oppose some of his ideas. Being a conservative yourself, do you condemn them for having an opposing view to Mr. Wonderful? B/A 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Montana Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 For the record... "moderators" here are not expected to have a neutral bias or lack of opinion when acting as a normal member and participating in conversations. The only time they have "neutral" stances is when it comes to interpreting the rules of the forum... I ask that they keep their personal feelings out of any actions that they may take as a moderator. Their personal views are not expected to change because they are a "moderator" here, nor do I ask them to act (much) different than they would otherwise. The fact stands that they can ban someone if they get annoyed enough but for the most part, the mods here are just normal people like you and I, and they deserve the same respect and considerations as you and I. No more, no less. Carry on. 2 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point being that whoever prepares the icon part appearing on every post a member writes.... maybe in your case forgot and/ or didn't show clearly enough near your name and symbol ( unlike other Mods, as far as I remember, where it says unmistakenly "Moderator") the word "Moderator"...That in some of us created confusion I hope I was clear in trying to explain ...

nstoolman1 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) This is how I look at it. If a Mod wants to participate in a lively discussion as a regular individual I have no issues with that. If they do have to invoke their Mod powers and they use them fairly I have no issues with that. If they become heavy handed then a person only has to drop Mr. Montana a note and ask him to look into it or another Mod if they prefer. Lets stop the whining and get back to arguing and fighting over stupid stuff. Edited October 25, 2019 by nstoolman1 2 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
