Threads have definitely been deleted on here. As for taboo subjects, start a thread that turns negative against law enforcement and you will see that sucker shut down with a quickness.

I see a lot get locked for personal reasons, but the ones that get locked for the most part are counter productive. What I mean by that is.

This board is owned by an individual. If I was the individual that owned the board I would not want to receive a phone call one day by a reporting wanting to know why I owned and privately funded a white supremacy message board or a anti-law enforcement board. Now we all know that to be incorrect. However any passerby that comes across this place by happenstance by way of Google does not know that. Google indexes the hell out of this place. Don't know why. I think JB bribes them or something. I can google a phrase and this place will be on the first page. So we are not hid in a remote corner of the world. We are exposed to the public as Oklahomans and gun owners. No body on here wants to be painted into a group of extremists or a hate group. you will though if the threads that get out of hand are left up.

I can see it on news one night. A local gun board that is anti law enforcement, right wing extremist with ties to the KKK are having an rally(read eat and shoot) this weekend at so and so gun range. No body wants that kind of publicity. Be sides if we were all men we would get together and have these discussions over a beer instead of over the interwebs. I most of us would not be near as boastful or quick witted as we appear. I don't like threads being deleted as much as the next guy, but I understand it.

I never said that some of them didn't deserve to be locked or deleted, just that they were. I'll keep my opinion on the matter to myself........

Fewer threads get deleted today than got deleted under the previous regime. Progress, more or less. Some of you guys would complain if you got hung with a new rope.
