I don't do FakeBook or Twaddler anymore, so I enjoy engaging on Forums like this with people who share a common interest in Texas CHL/LTC and Gun Related Topics. Wehn there is an off topic section in a forum, I like to check it out, because there tends to be a lot of thoughtful discussion with members who are already familiar from their gun topic posts. This kind of forum is what "social media" is supposed to be about...an affinity group for people who share interests in common.anygunanywhere wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 12:41 pm So if news about what is going on in our deteriorating society isn't posted by a few members, then there will be even less reason to visit the forum.
Killing it softly.
**Sigh**
Although I am still on Facebook, only to keep up with the goings on in my family that live scattered across the country (mostly grandkids), this is still my go to place. I don't watch the news anymore except to see the weather if I know storms are coming. That's how I schedule my workers. I'm not on Twitter or IG or any other social media outlet. I have enough to worry about at home. Most of the news I get are from this forum. I have learned a wealth of information here and still learn something new from time to time. I don't post much but I am here at least once a day, usually about this time of the morning while I am by myself at the office. For the most part, everyone here has been great. Sure, there is an occasional "member" come on board to try to stir things up but they get outed pretty quickly.
As for the political posts, Yes, they can be annoying and even cause some dissention amongst us, but the Mods do a pretty good job of keeping it civil and for that, I appreciate what they do. That's what makes this forum one of the best online and the only one I frequent regularly. Just my .02.
