Ever since order was restored, no one wants to visit Tombstone.
Should we nail the coffin shut?

The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

I was kind of waiting until after the elections, and maybe the testosterone levels would recede, but I have no objection . There's quite enough negativity and meanness in the world, and I just don't feel like adding to it. Not intentionally, anyway. If that makes sense. eta Maybe have an election board for the strong of heart? Just a suggestion.

Funny how restricting the board to only those that have the same opinion, in order to create a "safe space", becomes monumentally boring. Nobody sees a point in posting something acceptable since everyone agrees with it, so there's no reason to post and say, "Yeah", or "Right on." Only good discussions with diverse points of view are interesting enough to get involved in, but the powers that be don't want that here. Sooo... checking in here is a lot like watching a train wreck or one of those controlled building implosions done with explosives. Curious, but there's just nothing to say... at least nothing to say that is acceptable to the delicate flowers here... Congratulations on destroying a local public resource.

Ever since order was restored, no one wants to visit Tombstone. Should we nail the coffin shut? Probably should attempt to reincarnate the board with new name and new rules. Rule #1 - no posts that impair the enjoyment of other members will be tolerated. That's the 1 single rule I have on my biggest yahoogroup (my smaller groups are just not as popular as to attract spirited discussion) and the big one has only suffered traffic at the hands of Facebook. Otherwise, its still the operation that is most reliable for my road rally members to communicate. And... they must be a higher quality bunch, as I've only had to ban two people over the last 17 years of its existence, and only for a short time. If I were running such a board, the first incident of someone namecalling would be their last incident for about 3 weeks. I'm fully convinced that the demise of this board, in addition to the precipitous action to stifle real discussion, has been the vile one's continuous attacks of those he disagrees with. Rule #1 may be the only one you need, other than bans to keep things legal (no inciting to riot, no threats, etc.)

I don't know you, and you have no idea what I've seen. I have had more than my share of conflict, and it leads nowhere. Your words only influence the weak minded and those without life experience. Your actions are how you will be judged. Don't wait for it to control your life.

Assmunch hypocrite does not recognize "libtard" or "envirowacko" as name calling. Imagine that.

If I call you one of those then it is name calling. If I describe a group with one of those without specifying particular members of the group, it is not.

Assmunch, it's name calling either way. I wouldn't expect a bigot to know that*, though.
*Assmunch is name calling. Calling you a bigot is not - it's merely a factual identification.

Rally. Calling names and transfer by association is what paid troll-provocateurs do. You're not like that, are you? What are you trying to accomplish here? It's almost like you are spreading av gas on the battlefield, but I may be wrong here, although I think you are too smart to do it by mistake. This little spreadsheet isn't worthy of your effort. Let the people talk.

Let the people talk. That's certainly not me because I'm not getting paid. One has to express disdain for a particular side to identify what side one is on, AND if you don't express some sort of such disdain, chances are nobody responds and your thread dies. This sort of conflict is _necessary_ to such discussion.

Let the people talk. It's a nuanced approach that's very common these days. Passive aggressive arguments that in no way even begin to so much as attempt actual conversation. People like that throw out insults and call names that on the surface seem tame but in context are used with the same vitriol as any fully charged attack, so they can always play victim. Sometimes there's a very fine line between Troll and Munchausen Syndrome. The latter is what's undone discourse on this site and the one it was derived from.

If this site doesn't cost anything but time, I'd like it to remain open. While I don't post that much, I do enjoy the small connection to those in this community as they are somewhat local to the area. I've always enjoyed the actual meet-ups that I've been to, and hope that at some point we'll get to do it again. I try to check it out at least a couple times a week, usually getting in about 5 out of 7. Might actually post more once the weather keeps me completely inside and I'm not trying to cram things in the short span of nice weather we get. I'll be trying to get some more stuff accomplished in the coming 2 months.
I like hearing differing opinions on things, even opinions I don't agree with.

I agree with DA. As long as the weather supports my plants, I have to be outside quite a lot. Also, with the NFL starting this weekend, I look forward to the football discussions.
DA, Deb and I get together about once/month. Send me your phone number via PM and I'll let you know when we meet again. I, too, enjoy our get together soon. I owe John and Bob each a birthday drink. I'm sure they plan on collecting soon.
I've cried uncle and am seeing the surgeon tomorrow to schedule the left shoulder replacement. That will slow me down a bit.

I'm sure I'll have a few weeks to worry about it, but thanks.
I lucked out with the right shoulder as he had a cancellation so I only had a week to wait!

It's almost like you are spreading av gas on the battlefield, but I may be wrong here, although I think you are too smart to do it by mistake. This little spreadsheet isn't worthy of your effort. Let the people talk. You're thinking of it wrong. When I say a group is "envirowacko" I'm saying their IDEAS on the subject of the environment are, shall we say, extreme. That is not namecalling directed at an individual. It is a statement about a class of ideas. What I'm trying to accomplish is 1) Attempting to convince those who are in error that they are mistaken about a subject - the Fair Tax, Fracking, Lochte, whatever, 2) learning anything new about a subject that I didn't know before - and 3) creating an entertainment for myself and possibly others. And I am letting people talk all over the place, it was not I who deleted any threads. On that particular note, I _still_ believe the reasoning behind the deletion of the Lochte thread, that so enraged those who were having a good time discussing the subject that 2 of them renamed themselves "gone" and "gone2", with me still here just to observe the implosion of this place that has resulted from this heavy-handed and precipitous event, has yet to be satisfactorily explained. What the heck was so "wrong" with providing links to videos that supported the swimmers' claims of being robbed at gunpoint? People come here to discuss, and the admins / mods / and the namecaller-in-chief all get in the way of doing it as a pleasant experience.

It's a little surprising to me that some folks think Tombstone is worth saving. I think it's a drab, dirty, dusty, cess pool of vagrants, whores, and malcontents. But if that's what feels like home to y'all then so be it.

Look who wants a safe space now. It's another way of saying no personal attacks, including no name calling. Contesting of facts such as in the Lochte thread, pointing out the rampant political corruption, promoting and opposing ideas like gun control, things like that would be just fine. if someone'a enjoyment is impaired by such discussion, then they simply need an attitude adjustment. It's a discussion board, so we need to be able to discuss.

I don't even mind the name calling, really. It doesn't further the argument at all, but damn, can it be entertaining. We've got some creative name-callers here, too.

If someone can't get past the name calling, they are functioning on their lizard mind and not their rational one. Assuming they have one, of course.
