I don't get it

[Tegg]

This is the "Fill Station" part of the forum where we (the members that make this site what it is today) can post off topic stuff, right?

I broke no rules, and neither did anyone else...

Locking that thread was seriously uncalled for... really...

I have been a supporter of the site for a long time, but the thread locking behavior as of late has made me wander other sites more often... This is the internet... and the rules have been followed, its the enforcement of said rules that is not working good...

Really... there was no reason to lock the recently locked thread...

There are rules about objectible material placed on the forum. I haven't read the thread in question yet... may not now.. don't want to corrupt my innocent brain.. but one or more of the moderators have obviously objected to something about it, or where it was going.

Let's just see if others have a comment on it with a vote.... just for kicks...

Oh well, guess there are alot of whimpy cavedivers with some really thin skin... I guess I know why Ginne clear cave is the most popular type of cave...

Actually, I'd be intrested in seeing who voted what way... shouldn't be an issue since people here want to be seen as "straight and narrow"...

everybody already thinks we're frikin' insane
what the hell do we care anymore?

I for one found it quite amusing.

It appears there may be either too many moderators with varying opinions of what is appropriate or the moderators need to get together and come to a consensus on the standards. I for one feel the second amendment is very important and don't believe images of LEGALLY owned firearms should be censored. Tegg is right The Fill Station was created just for the purpose of far flung friends with a common interest in cave diving to have NON-cave diving discussions. CORRECT me if I am Wrong.
So IMHO the lock was a gross abuse of power by a government bent on world domination…… oops wrong thread…… But the lock was off the mark.

I found it offensive. I'm country, and I like my White Dog clear my weapon with a 3-9 scope(I don't like people who waist good ammo) and my pistol with enough barrel to teach someone a lesson without waking the town down the road.

I would sell the pee shooter , get a scatter gun for home protection , and scope a model 70 for long distance disputes and for the love of @&$ strain that hooch

I have a good pump shotgun for home defense right by the bed loaded with good 00.

I have a mosin with a nice scope that is plenty accurate for those that question me from a distance.

The handgun is for people within my "personal space" which is about 25ft around me...

As for straining the hooch, I plan to... it is in "cooking stage" right now...

sounds like you're a well rounded and stable human being

well that makes all the difference. I bet the pump has the plug out, the handgun has a tennis ball for a flash suppressor and your home alarm is a big dog

I thought it was very funny.

As a homebrewer I can appreciate it, I did not sample the hooch at the CE soireé but that is because I prefer filtered stuff (you know, strain the muskrats and other critters that may have fallen into it)

Anyway, as far as the pea shooter, well I have not met many cave divers who don't carry one.... long live our 2nd ammendment!!!

I suppose that is what happens when you let the PC police (a pox on PC!) loose.

Dive safe Joe, and good luck with the poll.

It wasn't about the leaders, it was about the followers. It's not about the subject matter, it was about the level of maturity in dealing with it. The lock down was intended to be a temporary measure until there was a moderator concensus. ALL of the moderators are interested in seeing the voting results. Making it a personal issue is a mistake. There was nothing personal in it. Curt is right. The Fill Station is a gray area intended to Fill a need not otherwise a provided by the other forums. The question is, how far can the Fill Station go and not violate rule #7?
