I think it goes farther than that.

To the supporting members, it a live service game where people feign indignation to attacking other posters, in hopes of getting them banned.

They do use the report button to try to censor (or ban) those they disagree with. And they do goad people they don't like into crossing the line so they can report them. I was caught in that trap a couple of times and received a timeout from it, but I'm on to the game now and can hold someone at bay for days on end without doing a single thing that could be used to bust me. I've even called people out directly for trying that shit with me, and was so successful in one counterattack that the d******d doesn't even respond to me any more-after coming after me here and there for easily four years.

It's like trying to have a rational discussion with a four year old.

TOP = The Offended Page.
I pulled my support and the only reason I go there anymore is to browse the classifieds. Not that I would even buy anything there anymore since the scammers have taken over. Oh and the “no FF” police. Seriously, fek that place.

If I am buying something on a forum with PayPal, I am not going to use that Friends and Family nonsense. I'll pay the 3%, thank you very much.

Man I don’t have time for that stuff. They can keep that bs over there, we don’t play that here. Thankfully ❤️
 
I got 3 warnings. One of them, I was arguing with a guy who loves his jetski. I told him they are annoying and jetski people get bored so they have to do their little twirlies in front of people like everybody cares. Anyway the guy posts a picture of him on his jetski. My comment was, " I'm surprised it stayed afloat with the amount of weight that was on it." I got a warning for that. Geesh its not like I called him fat!:LOL:
 
After the last two pages i was considering a new nickname and join TGP again. But then i thought .. fuck them. Most of them are old farts and often super condescending. I thought I might need the forum for the Helix stuff but it’s even better here (not condescending). Also, those mods … man o man.

Just to go slightly Off Topic, mercifuzziness
You are correct, seems like older people forget that they were once young and that they have become that old moldy foggie that harped at us when we were young.
I went thru my " Trendy Gear Train " ride when I was younger and have priorities more important than gear.
Several sites, I had conflict with "The Trendy Gear " crowd and I expressed my different view and some of the political sections on the sites .... BOOM , THE BAN HAMMER !!!!

Some older people are hypocritical/ stubborn and intolerant, while younger people seem to be stubborn, naive and still finding their feet in the walk of life .... doesn't matter if it's Gear, life choices or different views.
Older people can be wise, due to mistakes or the triumphs of life.
I say let youth live .... let them get their triumphs in life and make their own mistakes like we did when we were younger.

Also, and maybe just a bit young still, I can't imagine my dad (in his 70s) being super active on an on-line forum. But he is pretty active with woodwork, cars etc.

I think a lot of those are probably a bit lonely, so it's good there are places where these men can go and built that community for themselves. I can understand why somebody would want to protect that if its most that they have when it comes to interaction with other people.
