  [quote][quote]I know a lot of people will disagree with me on here, but I have been on multiple forums of all subjects.  The most successful of them have moderators, and while this one is active, often threads go into personal attacks thanks to a very small number of trolls.  They personally attack anyone who disagrees with them and NIM is right, they will often go on the offensive with "Vendetta Flags".  Yep the hard part is to find the right mods for the forum, but these rules are easy to enforce, posts that include personal attacks are removed, poster is warned, and if it becomes habitual, a note is made by the mod to the owner to make a decision to remove.  People need to know that this site is NOT a democracy and it's a privilege to be a member here!  [/quote]I have a real issue with your post. On the one hand, it seems to have been written from a position of wide eyed innocence. But, using the label of those who disagree with your posts as "trolls" is only fueling the fire. And, when it comes to diatribes, curses, and insults if truth be told nobody here has been more offensive then NiMA. Suggesting he is the voice of reason and moderation is truly the height of intellectual dishonesty.[/quote]Topher, I made no mentions about people who disagree with me or others being automatic trolls.  There are trolls on this site, and most know who they are.  Trolls attack people personally and force people to defend with no contribution to the thread or OP.  Regarding NIM, every post I've seen him contribute to, has been well articulated and full of well researched information.  Is he always right? I don't know, but he often backs up his statements.  I will say that just because his posts might be controversial to some because they are not happy unless they are offended by something, does not make him wrong.  And his first posts almost always result in the Trolls getting to work in their typical fashion personally attacking NIM the man, instead of debating the topic.  This also results in him turning around and having to defend himself.  It is very easy to say don't respond to it, which is not difficult if it's a general stupid snarky post, but when it's a personal attack, I know of no one that doesn't defend themselves!  He talks of Vendetta flags and even some of the trolls have admitted they do it and then in another post deny it.  Either way, I've seen no one get booted from this site after being flagged in the forums.  Why? because I'll bet TT1 received at least 100 flags or more per day, and it's impossible to go through them.  Forum Moderators would work to keep the forums civil.  I don't really care if you disagree with me, or if you believe it fuels the fire.  This post is not a debate and I'm merely suggesting to the owner what I believe would help him enforce the rules of the forum to fix an obvious problem.

  Perhaps the Forum Rules should be posted and a member has to agree to abide by the rules or they will be denied access to the Forum. TT1 should permanently bar individuals who repeatedly break the rules from further access to the Forum.

  [quote]Yep, you two managed to destroy a thread again.  Enemies of reason.[/quote]I have been expecting the site owners to ban the posting of inappropriate wastes of bandwidth, specifically that of felines. Their constant reappearance must indicate a never ending preoccupation the poster has with pussy.
  The rightwingers (notice I didn't call them wingnuts) claim to have a love affair with the Bill of Rights. As I've pointed out before; when it comes to the Second Amendment they wrap their nude bodies in the flag. But, when it comes to the First Amendment they want to silence, export, deport, and defame those with alternative viewpoints.

  It is odd.  If you disagree with their point of view, you are labelled a troll, a liar, and other nasty names.  And the irony of that is not recognized by them.  Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

  Once again Gassy, you are making extreme and emotional assumptions with no basis in intellect or reality.  Reminds me of Michele Bachmann.  Are you her?

  I agree with you brother NIM.  These three trolls are hell bent on total destruction of TN, and due to their constant forum infestation, will not be happy until they only have themselves to yap to. Too many good people have left the site because of the terrible trolling trio.

  I have not flagged your post NiMA.  Why do you think that some of them have been removed?  Because they were full of bile, viciousness and profanity.  Try to get a grip on reality.

  It's not vendetta flagging.  You're the one who wants people "purged" and free speech suppressed if you don't agree with it.  You are constantly breaking the TOS when you use profanity and insults.  You can't even see the hypocrisy of your own point.

NiMa accuses others of doing exactly what he does. He wants those of us that disagree with himpurgedfrom the site while saying liberals wish to ban free speech. Please wait until midnight, he will no doubt state it's broad daylight.

  You go girls!  It's such a small percentage of members that actually use the forums that it is ridiculous claim to make that people are leaving the site in droves because of it.  NiMA just lost one of his hens.  And whilst you would like to keep it the domain of your own little hen party, Your beloved constitution ensures the right of free speech.  You seem to like the right to bear arms, but you have a real problem with free speech.

  It is interesting that people make erronious comments about our Constitution.  The First Ammendment protects speech from being censored BY THE GOVERNMENT, this is a privately owned website and the site owner has the right to control what is posted.  If people don't like the rules, they can leave.  If rules are unreasonable and a lot of people leave, the site owner is the one affected by it primarily so judgement says make reasonable rules.If someone from another country doesn't like us haveing Second Ammendment rights, they don't have to come here.  We are not forcing them to come here and buy guns, so don't try to take ours away.

  Txag, your rights extend to your border.  The U.S. is the biggest exporter of weapons in the world.  So can you do something about their illegal flow across borders to Canada and Mexico?  Like maybe stop that.
