[QUOTE="okierider, post: 2983144, member: 41708"] (A lot of this all started to change when Obama got elected. In many ways it mirrored the polarization of society. I've seen many people come and go. Some lost interest, others were driving off, some banned (and banned, and banned again). Many good people are still here, and as was said, it will continue to be the place that we make it. But gone are the days of threads about local news anchors floating the river, coffee tables vs vacuum cleaners, Godzilla gun mods and members who CCed a ball and cap revolver.) People started acting like jackasses in the e-net long before Obama was elected to office!! The internet makes it way to easy for people to spout whatever they want with no chance of reprisal. When I was a kid and you talked **** you either backed it up or got your ass handed to you. Today people get on here to release their pent of frustrations, with anonymity. On the other side of that it is hard to read what exactly someone is trying to get across sometimes, a lot of the time folks have a different kind of humor and it can be taken out of context and then escalate in to shitsville!! So if your going to be on the internet get a thicker skin and realize that if it is not directly harming you .... it does not matter. Hell I like watching the trolls, mostly just funny **** that gives me something for me to call in my son and show him what some dipshit is spewing. We get a good chuckle out of it and move on !
