    Is it just me, or do there seem to be a LOT more left-leaning post(er)s these days?
    No disparagement, I encourage interaction of viewpoints. Plus, some of the threads turn darn funny. . .:D

    Just me?

    Yes, and it may be intentional coordinated action to irritate and distract. It only takes a few posting from multiple accounts and constantly repping each other to make themselves appear legitimate.

    I think INGO has made the list.

    We have been noticed and now marked for the troll parade.

    Constantly repping each other? Heck I don't know how long ago I gave Joe Williams rep, and it still says I have to spread it around. . . after giving some to 3-5 other users. . .

    Yeah, I just ignore them unless it's constructive.

    Believe it takes 8-10 other reps to rep the same person again.
    And I haven't noticed any trolls, but nor have I been able to keep up with all 1800+ posts per day, either.

    Have noticed a couple people trying to sneak into the classifieds, but I've successfully firebased a couple this week, with more to come if I see it.

    As for the trolls, it's best not to feed them - speaking of, anyone ever figure out if Bradis really did have an unregistered MG without knowing it? Think Shooter521 was gonna look into that, just seemed so unlikely... seemed like a troll to me. But I guess we'll find out?

    Funny thing I was just sayin' this the other day.

    What else I have noticed, there are a couple posters that must have NOTHING else to do, besides search for and post CRAP, that just clutters the board and takes up space. :nuts:


    INGO has a FAQ AND an IGNORE feature, I use them both. :D

    Not just you, I find myself looking at the post count of the OP more & more these days.

    Same here. While I haven't necessarily noticed the left leaning topics (which quite frankly are ok...it is an open community), but I have seen a lot of 50 post wonders around lately posting complete crap just to get into the classifieds.

    I don't see many "left leaning" topics or posters on here. Most posters seem to agree that the size of government is too large, we spend too much money, and this newfangled health insurance bill is a crock. And we all like firearms!

    Most conflicts are libertarian(minarchists and anarcho-capitalists included) vs. Republican or non-interventionist vs. interventionist foreign policy.

    Left vs. Right is very flawed anyway. I prefer liberty vs. tyranny. :D

    I'm new here and am observing the culture to see how I fit in. Personally, I do like diversity. I think you end up with better solutions when you see multiple sides of an issue. But, when I look at the posts by Perm I think TROLL ... definitely irritating and distracting.

    I'm still open minded.
