When we had guys like Cheaper To Buy It and that gang? The insults were creative and good natured. Intelligent comments were frequent. There was real discourse, and at the end of the day, most of us were friends, even if we disagreed. I had some tragedies, and even my opponents offered encouragement. Others had the same experience. Today, if someone received some bad news, they wouldn't dare mention it. Their opponents would rejoice and use it against them. There was a member here who got some very bad news and had to leave the board. Even though we argued vigorously, I was one of the few to offer encouragement and support. There was no genuine animosity. It always felt felt like a group of guys sitting in a bar, calling each other names and arguing, then leave laughing and come back the next night and do it again. It's not that way anymore.
I'm here for entertainment. Nothing more. This board is less entertaining than ever. Sad. It used to be a fun a place.

The crazies have taking over the asylum and it's all downhill from now. This forum gives me plenty of reason(s) why I should never accept the GOP principles. Most of the guys here including the OP just want to start agendas and personal attacks that really has nothing to d with politics. I wonder what my religious beliefs have to do with any of these political topics yet there's members here who refuse to let fo of their agenda. There's a member here who couldn't even honor his bet that he clearly lost and attacked me in pm's with racial hate.
I came into these forums with a rifle in one hand and an olive branch in the other hand. I think I have no choice but to put down the olive branch and defend myself with my rifle-(I am talking figuratively).
