Any questions or comments on the forum then feel free to ask me here. Please try to keep the threads on topic. Thank You.
Why do you allow one poster and his cadre of neighborhood activists to hijack this message board and proceed to shut down discussion of topics of interest to conservatives?
They're here all day everyday.
Their primary tactic is to put everyone on the defensive and never, under any circumstances, answer a question with a straight answer.
They treat you and everyone else here who calls them on one of their lies with disrespect and you reward them with the key to the candy store.
Your board, your rules. I just fail to see the wisdom in taking out the trash for one day and then bringing it back inside the house, flies, stench and all.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over. (Murron)
Yes, but it doesn't answer the question of a why a pack of feral pigs are allowed to turn the place into a wasteland.
That and I don't hide like the four cowards who have put me on filter. Funny how they all in rapid succession followed war's lead.
Don't tell me he isn't the paid Acorn ringleader here.

Just my $0.02, but here's what I've concluded after several years of posting on boards as diverse on the spectrum as the old, defunct TIME politics board and Free Republic:
1. People post on these boards for many different reasons - to pass the time, to have an honest political discussion, to advance their partisan beliefs, to make friends, to feel superior by ridiculing others, or to form cliques like they did in their glory days of HS, etc. Many times they will post something to someone that they would not dream of saying to their face.
2. It's best to periodically step away, lest you begin to take it too seriously.
I try to follow this advice myself from time to time.

Geezus...I've been "outed". BTW, who's bringing the brownies to the next meeting? I forgot to write it down...
[snicker]
And this moron wonders why he's on bozo...
You, I/A, conduct your self honorably here. Ditto jpwegler and calcon. The problem here is that the board has a limited membership so flames can really dominate and overtake a decent discussion. I'm as guilty as anyone for getting sucked into them and I used not to use the bozo all that much. That's changed.
I just hope that Stoney fights the urge to turn this into an echo chamber ala the gopqueefingroom wherein a typical thread is bitching about Hillary or Mud bumping up his vanity thread. They post some good articles there but because of the echo chamber essence of the board they attract little in the way of interesting dialogue.

I don't think that will happen. This is a small board, but it seems both viewpoints are tolerated (mostly).

I can't stand echo chambers, myself - they become boring quickly. That's why I quit posting on FR.
Myself, I've bitched about partisanship, but I think I've come to realize that what I perceive as partisanship in others is not usually how they perceive themselves.
And (**gulp**) I've had to come to the not so happy resolution that others perceive ME as partisan. Can you believe it?
Oh well, in all seriousness, I guess I am - although I don't think of myself as a Republican (and I'm definitely not a Democrat.)
I don't even consider myself a conservative anymore - since that term has become as bastardized as the term liberal. I part ways, for instance, when my conservative "brethren" go RAH RAH for needless and mindless wars (Iraq).
I guess I'm a Pat Buchanan conservative - what is it - a "paleo-con?"
I do love this country - or more accurately, I did. I don't like what it's becoming.
We're very polarized and divided - split evenly down the middle. We've got serious problems - problems that elections are not going to solve.
And all we do is talk past one another.
Sorry to get all serious all of a sudden. BTW, thanks for the kind words.

"To use this thread for you folks to compliment me on."
Not a bad thing. I've seen 'ask the moderator threads help with communication, but I could of predicted this first one to be slug fest.
Want a suggestion? have an 'ask Stone, anything' thread, retire the old one at 1k posts, and let people start the new ones when the 1k thrush hold is reached.
You are going to have to have the open door policy thread for a while before it works like you want it too.
But it is a good thing to do. What you see here is pent up frustration because people don't feel like you are listening. Listen and communicate, and you will get something out of it too.
You are fishing for compliments? This is a good idea. There you go,but don't press your luck and expect two kudos in the same post.
Oh now Fred, I usually don't miss that these daze. When I started posting in 1995, I was a notoriously horrible speller. Being a long time chatter in mIRC before that didn't help as there is an art to mis-spelling in real time chat.
Hey, at least I know the difference between the definitions of then and than. But if I screw up, feel free to ping me to the post. I want to see evidence that I still screw up when using either word.
Or say allot instead of a lot. When I was in the Army, my nicknames were, "Mr. Specific" for offering unwelcome advice constantly to superiors starting with, "Specifically speaking..." and 'Spock,' because verbally I also feed anyone listening to me a diet high in multisyllabic words.
Which meant until my mentors whipped me about the head and shoulders, people I was in charge of needed an interpreter to understand me. Depending on smarter peers to recognize the orthographic chunks of the compound words I used to divine their meaning didn't help in getting things done when I was the NCOIC of something.
I was also deeply hated whenever I had the misfortune to go to public school as I always had my hand up, and was unapologetic about my high grades.

I delete insults sometimes if I think they are over the top. For example when (dwarf) you told whoever it was to go get fucked in the ass by another guy and they would be happy.
C'mon AKA throw the clown a bone.....(ummmm.....not your bone though...)....the spandex pantied dwarf was just passing on his personal recommendation for finding pleasure.

Focus on responding to the poster you addled cracker fuck....get away from the mirror and direct your comments accordingly.
Better yet....drink another 5th and have that date with the defibrillator sooner rather than later.

Are you posting while Sabra again? It's not like you ever reply to posters comments on your articles and how many times did you post the exact same article this week? Three times?
I honestly have no control over that. The software is pinguinites. You said you have him a pm. I will go over to his hangout at 4um and let him know. Sorry I don't know how to do more then that.

Did you ban war or did he depart due to your asshole censorship behavior?
So....cracker pig, can't you just look up from your knee perch in front of dwarf and just ask him yourself?

Being a chronic malcontent is not a political position.
It's an illness.
