I'm not banned from it. But since I finished tracking the delivery of my license, I've found really very little use for it. That is the one run by Mr. Cotton, right? I've heard tell a few folks have butted heads with him or his monitoring, based on differing views or perspectives. But I never had any issues with him, either directly or indirectly. I recognized early on, that's HIS site and he's at liberty to run it anyway he wants to. As far as I know he set it up, he funds it and he runs it; he can do with it as it pleases him. No one held a gun to my head and forced me to join. And in fact, once it had served the purpose of tracking the length of time for the DPS to process my CHL, I pretty much tuned out of it.

Interesting. I recently applied for my LTC and stumbled across that site. I signed up today (registered) and was almost immediately banned. After a couple cordial emails I am now "welcome" on the site (having to use a different username). Turns out they thought I was somebody else who was banned, and trying to get in using a proxy and alias email address. I assured them it wasn't me and they let me in, but still it was quite annoying.

Sounds like they're a little ban happy. I've been on a few forums like that and I'm happy to be rid of them. This place suits me fine.

Lol, that was probably my bad... they banned my username "kevo" with no explanation. After that, I made "another_kevo", "still_kevo_shhhh", and "uh_ohhh_its_kevo"... just to piss him off

They banned me awhile ago. Idk why.

Heh

 

[matefrio]

really picky group there. For all his faults and biases Cotton does know how to push legislation and has his ear to the ground.

Yep. We're not supposed to talk about politics unless those politics favor one viewpoint. I prefer here where we are free to disagree (which means I'm right and eventually you will understand) or Firing Line's policy of no politics in general. I don't view a one political view is acceptable when its near firearm rights because-as it is fast becoming-its becoming a balkanized political issue like everything else.

But its his board he can do what he likes, which is fine too.

Yea but are you sure you are you?

I once was threatened with a ban over there for using ^$#*! in lieu of actual cursewords.

 

[Wyldman]

**** that!

(See what I did there?)

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

 

[kevo62]

Lol, I got a 3 day ban and a warning for this one

I have had several disagreements with how things are run there, but am not banned.

Had one thread I started where people started bickering with each other, and then my thread was closed instead of the perpetrators getting action against them. Didn't agree with that.

Had another thread where I posted a link that the NRA was supporting the no fly list, and still not having true due process. Cotton jumped on my case, stating that the libertarian website was a "liberal rag" and that the NRA would never do such a thing. However, I never saw one true stance from the NRA that showed they would only support legislation that kept due process in place.

I go there for any technical knowledge/gun news, but stay out of political discussions, because if you don't support certain ideas, you will get thrown to the wolves. And don't you dare say anything negative about the NRA.

Yeah they ban anyone who disagrees with them, even when they are 100% wrong.

Anyone wondering why our CHL laws are screwed, look no further than the Owner, Charles Cotton, he has authored many of these horribly written laws.

I never understood the whole .3006 / .3007 sign thing in the first place. Like anything else, put a sign up and if a person does it ask them to leave or you would call the cops for a trespasser. Sorry that was OT.

Kind of hard to keep an organization on the straight and narrow path when you can't criticize them when they do wrong. Of course, that's only what I consider logical.
