CathyInBlue Shootered??? (Also, what's for breakfast??)

The 'experiment' was, allegedly, to 'allow' free expression, the free exchange of ideas.

That didn't happen, as anticipated. There were all sorts of 'cautionary rules' stipulated prior to opening up the topic(s) for discussion. That was an obvious clue that it was never intended to 'allow' members to "have the freedom to express their beliefs", just the appearance of doing so. The results were predictable, and predicted. At least by some.

The 'experiment' failed, not because of the members that did, in fact, express their beliefs but because those that set forth the 'cautionary rules' weren't really wanting members to have that 'freedom'. Otherwise, 'cautionary rules' wouldn't have been set forth.

When anyone "opens up the playgound", they should anticipate that the "usual players" will cause the "first dust up". It's known as "pre-planning". Common sense. Therefore, it's not the fault of the 'usual players', as alleged. It is the fault of those who neglected to plan for that obvious circumstance. There was no 'surprise', not when there's prior knowledge that the "usual players" are already present.

'Management 101'.

This is how you see this. really.
All kinds of cautionary rules. You are either blind or just so self centered.
Civility was called for. How is that cautionary.
Forum rules to be followed.....caution......where.

We never ever said free rain say what you like. Never.
Civil discussion concerning religion. That was the premise. It has yet to fail. Still ongoing just you are not allowed on the play ground anymore.

I know you are reading this. That is why I am commenting. Looks like another Mod had enough and set you free to do as you please.

I miss the who got banned thread.

BTW - The bacon was delicious.

 

[chezuki]

It wasn't pretty.

...the shooterizing was pretty ugly too.

Don't forget to tell us what you had for breakfast.

Coffee, perfectly roasted/ground Sumatran beans.

Looks like Paul had the best breakfast.

This thread has begun to remind me of Song of the South. Or Dumbo (in a good way). A bunch of crows looking down on the road where a bunny rabbit has been run over by a truck and commenting about the world. Except CIB is no bunny rabbit. But you get the metaphor, don'tcha?

Except that I am fervently hoping that the bunny rabbit returns.

You want roadkill for breakfast?

Guns? We're talking breakfast! Oh, and about shooters sometimes.

I have to have something to do while I'm at work, sheesh.

Breakfast? I loves me some breakfast although I rarely eat it. That should change this week though, leaving for vacation tomorrow.

MG got the hammer for that post? Really?

I think everyone that misspelled focaccia should be banned.

I highly recommend thick cut bacon

1. I'd like to see CathyInBlue return.

2. Golden Corral is now advertising that breakfast items are on the menu ALL DAY.

I think it was one of those "body of work" things.

If this thread is resulting in more bans, I think it might be time to close it.

Yes, Expat. ModernGunner got banned permanently for just that one post.

Are you kidding me? If you have something to say, lets take it off-forum, please.

So, based on that logic, we should just shut down completely, IYHO?

Sometimes its better to watch from the sidelines then be in the match.
