Title: Yet Another Embattled Conservative Bangs on the Screen Door...
Post by: Eupher on September 28, 2013, 10:11:55 PM
OldCoastie[insert some numbers here] let it be known that there's a place where it's possible to have some dialog about how our country was formed, and what happened along the way -- where one can discuss the issues of the day.

I'm a retired U.S. Army euphonium player. Yeah, I know -- most are probably saying, "Huh? WTF is that?!?" and to that I'll just post this:

I also play bass trombone and tuba, and since I do have a bit of a fan club, I'll show this:

Hidden behind me and on my right shoulder is an African grey parrot too. Her name is Phoebe. The redhead is an eclectus parrot and her name is Papagena.

Oh, here's another one with my fan club:

(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/Eupher6/Berlin/DSC_0005_edited-1.jpg)

I stay musically active and therefore out of most kinds of trouble, but I've just recently purchased an upright string bass and am learning how to torture Mrs E with those dreadful sounds. When I've got somewhat of a handle on that, it'll be the bass guitar. Hey, you can't have too many instruments!

I do have a day job as a QA Manager for a major corporation and it's a great way to make a living.

When I'm not practicing all those instruments, I'm caring for the other half of our menagerie - three dogs that simply make an otherwise crappy day completely joyful.

Delighted to be here, and off we go!

I had some personal issue there about veterans. I'd rather not specify any forum; no need to badmouth anyone.

I'll add that almost everyone there is really nice, but trolls are allowed to participate for way too long, which is a violation of the TOS.

That is probably because, some people, like cats,   like to play with them a while..  I personally feel the Admins here are pretty good at letting a troll have their say ( as long as they are polite. ) and then expelling them once they devolve into the usual leftist "argument" of name calling and threats. Its a process that usually only takes a couple of hours and I am always disappointed when I miss it.

Well, I know CG from Conservative Cave, where I've been for several years now; prior to that I was an Admin on USMILNET.COM, a site that's pretty much been overrun by Coasties.  ::speechless::   ::laughonfloor:: 

Spend a little time on Conservative Underground as well, and there are several musician forums that I frequently haunt.  ::unknowncomic::

Yep, I'm one of those that likes to play with 'em awhile. In a recent case, however, it took the Admins a bit too long to get with the program and this particular troll, while he was outed as a poser pretty quickly, was allowed to infect the site far too long.

Scheisse passiert, though, and the troll was tossed out on what was left of his ear, but for CG the damage was done, evidently.  ::stirpot::

Yes, it's always a badge of honor to get the first licks into a leftist troll before the Admins are forced to do their duty, we tease each other about missing the fun.  We have a wide range of topics we kick around here, obviously the current events drive a lot of that but there are interests aplenty to appeal to everyone.  Welcome aboard Eupher and all new folks!

We don't demand any kind of conservative litmus test for good standing here. But Leftists is another story. Once one is identified, their time here is pretty much limited. They are always 100% disingenuous, and never have an honest thing of value to contribute, and we've all suffered their web-presence at other places a million times over. Why suffer them here, in our house?

I know some like to kick them around a bit. The way I see it, there are plenty of places one can go on the Net to find Leftist trolls to kick. I'd rather have this be our sanctuary.

So while the occasional Leftist will show up and piss all over our living room floor, they are rare, and short-lived.

In fairness, even someone who is relatively conservative, but would not behave with the proper decorum has been banished since I have been here. Decency, discussion, debate, and information have all been a part of this forum.  Speech is free, but when we turn against each other, we are not reallly part of each other any more, and the admins take their duty seriously.

Yup. Another way of saying that assholes come in all ideological stripes, and yeah, assholes not welcome. lol

Well said. Speaking as probably the N00biest of the N00bs, I don't mind my thinking challenged -- by a Leftist or any other Goofball. Gives me an opportunity to discuss the issues based on logic, facts, and the truth as I've encountered it.


That said, most Leftists don't come to a Conservative forum to be "part of the family." They usually come to disrupt, spread their goober dust, and take a dump on the carpet. Fortunately, these kinds of Leftists out themselves fairly quickly and just as quickly -- one hopes -- they are gone.


I just don't wanna have to be the one to clean up their mess after their nose has been rubbed in it.  ::unknowncomic::

The "do unto others" test...

If someone kicks in your door and craps on your floor, they have no right to expect hospitable treatment.   ;)

Yep - but if one wants to be civil, one usually has to wait until that someone starts unzipping their pants and starts looking for the TP roll -- that is, assuming they wipe at all.  ::speechless::

I think you'll like it here. We can have very pointed and direct discussions, and sharp differences of opinion. But because we've all been down the road and back with the Leftists, we seem to have settled on a civil, friendly "culture" here. We're all pretty much appreciative of the fact that we're on the same "team".

I think I can speak for most here when I say that even when we differ, we truly enjoy each other. That's not necessarily true on other forums.

Oh, I've had a disagreement here and there with others but hey, I'm still here because overall we get each other!  hahaha

And sometimes it's fun to mix it up.    ::exitstageleft::
