No, it was set up to show that the primary content will be that of people harassing me and trolling me and accusing me of their own actions... I'll just keep giving them rope to prove it with, while trying to keep a little continuity to the Original Post.
How dare I not be like them! How dare I not comply with their disagreement!
The rules are applied to those who are not imitating the staff. Those who commit the crime of "Failure to Flatter."
Those who are similar in lifestyle, beliefs, dress, money, etc., may do as they please with no consequence. Censorship by proxy of quagmire. Same tactic as the revolving prison system. If you let them go, they head back out there and give you excuses to seize more power. You don't have to do it, you use the willing criminals as pawns. If you've got buddies who are willing to go screw up every thread or comment written by 'the unclean,' you don't have to censor it yourself. That's too obvious... Simply apply 'the rules' unequally to suit your interests.
No progress will be made in OC by anyone that The Staff doesn't like. Period. Don't ever do something that has the potential to steal the spotlight, even if you don't want it, unless you meet their so-called 'standards' of wealth, elitism, etc.
Only 1 response has been posted in this thread that had anything to do with the OP. Almost all of the rest are personal attacks the severity of which I have been routinely censored for, yet these are not.
It's a private forum. The owners can do as they like. But presenting themselves as balanced or even civil is a farce. Only their compatriots in elitism will be allowed to be useful in the cause. It makes me wonder if the architects' true motive is merely to create a new special interest niche to be the kings of. Another NRA that doesn't promote a Right for ALL, but for their selected 'only ones.' No intent to win, but to keep the fight going so the donations roll in for eternity. It is an educated speculation with a lot of evidence to suggest it.
I organized a letter with citations of law, did not lick boots or try to sleep with the enemy, and sent it off for a response. I did not inform any news crews, or organize an 'event.' (not that there is anything wrong with that, just proving that I'm not trying to steal anyone's spotlight) Just me seeing what happens.
That is not the approved MO, so look what happened... Mobbed by the usual suspects, no consequences. Told that it's my own fault! Again, isn't the foundation of this forum personal responsibility? How is it that I am responsible for what others are doing? It's only apples and oranges because I'm not an apple! The analogy is dead-on. If I misbehave, censored. If the pawns do, nothing happens. The only difference is that I'm not a wealthy elitist and make no bones about it.

I'm sure this won't win friends or influence people, especially among the wealthy, elite, 'only ones' of the southeast; but have I ever been know to concern myself with such trifling sorts?
A bunch of baseless presumptons...
Nobody likes reading a letter that is preemptively hostile in tone and whining about oppression without at least citing an example of when you've been oppressed by this particular department.
"6) NO PERSONAL ATTACKS: While you may disagree strongly with another poster based upon their opinion, we will NOT tolerate any personal attacks or general bashing of groups of people based upon race, religion, sex, or choice of occupation (e.g., being a law enforcement officer). NOTE THAT THIS RULE APPLIES TO PMs AS WELL AS FORUM POSTS!!!"And the LEOs are not pre-emptively hostile? They carry around guns and actively threaten anyone who doesn't humble themselves in their presence. The point is I'm not going to be all buddy-buddy with them. It shouldn't make a difference in how the law is applied, right? See a common thread in the thread? These LEOs responded in a far more civil manner to a provocative message, than did the so-called supporters of the cause...
The LEOS are the ones who harbor the Us vs Them concept. Like it or not, they decided to be the enemy. Trying to turn it around isn't gonna fly any better than saying the Taliban really aren't our enemies just because we didn't choose them.
Recognize it or not, LEOs have declared war on any who don't lick their boots. I've been shot at by them too many times to pretend it isn't so.

Looks like you are working yourself into a ban. Why?
Why?
I stand by my previous post
Then you should not be surprised to see this one deleted too.
If you feel the post is against the rules, report it. Responding to it with a personal attack brings reaction from the admins, in addition to reaction from the one you attack. And rightfully so in the case of reaction from the admins. Disagree with him if you must, but when you attack him, you ARE posting against the rules of this forum property.
Because this guy is a certifiable lunatic i.e official nut job.
As is anyone who spouts crap about all LE being the "enemy".
I stand by my previous post
Your anger at LEOs may have a place, but IMHO (an opinion in keeping with that of the owners of this forum), this isn't the place.Officer.com
FAIL.
he's just compared LE to the Taliban......I don't think I need to say anymore about this....individual.
Because all it takes is for one of the high-and-mighty members to come along and declare it an attack upon them, hang the martyr sign around their own necks, etc... But if it isn't to be so this time, so much the better. Just because the shoe fits does not mean I'm forcing anyone to wear it. If they choose to put it on and show it off... That's not my doing. Lets not digress too far.
No, it is not applicable. It would be more accurate to compare your view of some LE compared to all LE, and your view of the Taliban to a view of all Muslims.Yes, I did. And it's damn applicable!
Officer.com. READ IT. Not even Osama bin Laden himself has that much documented hate-speech directed towards American Citizens. It's a damn fact, and they documented it themselves... READ IT.
Your blind allegiance has been made clear by what you've said about this individual. Zealot, Jihadist, same thing....
Much like yourself, I point only to their own words and actions as more than enough evidence. This is to the exclusion of my own personal experiences!
WHAT EVER!
Correct. That disproved his initial rant-troll in short order.It seems that the administrator has your back. He's deleted a couple personal attacks already.
I do not go to that forum.
I am going out on a limb here and state that not all LE are contributors to content at that forum.
You paint them all with the brush that few deserve, thus engage in conduct not allowed on this forum.

The microcosm you hate is not indicative of the whole. You lump them together falsely. And doing that on this forum will get you canned.
Your words give lie to your supposed "not all cops are in agreement" comment. Which is it, they are all bad as you previously mentioned, or they are not all in agreement? Both statements cannot be correct. One of them is rational, the other breaks a site rule here.I suggest that giving people who have declared war upon you and me, the benefit of the doubt, is foolish. I'm sure not all cops are in agreement. But enough that I won't presume any cop to be one of the good guys. They all wear the same uniform, how can you tell which is which? Just close your eyes and hope for the best? Sorry, read the forum and you'll see hundreds of damn good reasons not to trust them, until, like other human beings, they EARN it as an individual.
