Pull up a five gallon bucket, sit down and visit about anything; includes Dodge & other kinds of trucks, computer stuff, and the mysteries of life. No politics or religion.
Ahhh the back room. As my Adventurer project has been on hold for several years, most of my posts have been in this forum. In the past if a thread was considered to be not in the spirit of this message board I would get an email from Gordon. In a very rational and non biassed email, Gordon would explain to me why a particular post was removed.
Visit about anything.
Unfortunately that is no longer the case here. I submitted a post declaring that I would be boycotting any sponsors of Stewart-Haas racing due to Tony Stewarts negligence and blatant disregard for safety when behind the wheel of a race vehicle, that ultimately cost a young man his life.
Soon after, that thread was removed. I understand that the administrators of this message board are under no obligation to explain why a thread is removed and the subject is not up for debate. In the past, I knew that I could rely on Gordon’s level headedness to make me aware that I have crossed a line and exactly what line I crossed.
No politics or religion.
All it took was bringing up the now defunct Maelstrom and soon after the post was gone. In it’s place I submitted a post that is in clear violation of the back room, citing scripture, and it has remained. Religion is now acceptable and potentially controversial posts are not.
This biased reaction is a clear indication that the winds of change on this message board are blowing in a direction that doesn’t sit well with me.
It is regrettable that I will not be visiting this message board as often as I did in the past, of which I am sure will bring a smile to the faces of some of the regulars here. I have enjoyed the information, insight and personal stories that so many are willing to share. I will miss it.
