I'm just curious...
Some people want to use this forum for stimulating political and social discourse and as an outlet or means to (further) express their own dissent, or to attempt to convert those perceived to be on the "opposite" side or those of an opposing point of view. There seem to be some very clearly-demarcated lines these days in terms of ideals, political views and posting styles.
Personally... my goal is to have a place to connect with fellow firearms enthusiasts, while at the same time have an informal type of gathering place where we can vent, support, encourage and sometimes lash out or chastise one another. These things are not universally negative.
I spend too much of my time and life pressured to fit into a certain "mold" which I almost never feel applies or is comfortable to me, but having somewhere to let off some steam, even poke fun, irritate and ridicule each other (good-naturedly, for the most part) feels good.
I'm a professional, and moderately-well educated, but sometimes just want to act like a knuckle-dragger and fling some p00. Without true hard feelings, but feeling free to act in a slightly rancorous and cantankerous manner.
The shorter my remaining time on this rock becomes, the more I feel like just letting go and speaking my mind.
If I am blessed (or cursed) enough to remain alive to a ripe old age, I suspect I will be an opinionated and irascible old fart who gives people laffs while making them shake their heads and roll their eyes on a regular basis.
"Can't we all just get along?"... with some regular p00 flinging to release our pent-up and societally-repressed testosterone, of course!
