I'll put my 2 cents in.
I disagree with LEO on a lot of things, well probably most things, and he needs to get over his proclivity to become defensive out of the chocks. But, he has a right to his opinion, just like I have. He was asked to take the well paid job of Moderator, and did. In this, he has to exercise his opinion of if/when a thread should be locked. It seems to me, he's been a bit too quick on thetrigger, pun intended. However, I won't castigate him for that but rather suggest he begin to err on the side of let it go a while further, if a close call. In the discussion (general) section we need a lot more latitude on topics/posts than any othersection. As long as the discussion is lively, not personality centered--as thisone was veering to, and of general interest--and the number of posters certainly would be the prime indicator of that, let it alone. It will play out eventually, and what's the harm? I think it makes for a more entertaining forum and that's what draws the members and pays the bills.
In re attacking the fuzz: showing the bad apples isn't attacking the good ones. And exposing the ignorance a large percentage seem to exhibit with respect to OC serves the purpose of this forum. That's not cop bashing. That LEO has said he doesn't think I have a law degree or Sheriff was a Deputy, or whatever,is something I find amusing--and shows his quick jump to defensive counterpunch when he's losing the argument. He needs to get over that. He brings good knowledge to the forum--like what doughnuts are best when sitting and running a speedtrap...:lol:, so I'm willing to cut him some slack. If it gets nasty, has nothing to do with guns, 2A, OC/CC or the law with respect to these areas, shut it down. Otherwise, let it alone.
Thanx to Bob for reopening and giving others a chance to put in their opinions.
