Yes!
Although I don't think you've been following the US election thread, which is a good thing. The Hitler is strong in there.
But it's not all bad news. Basically, we settled into a demography and groove were we all get along quite nicely, even if we don't agree. Which, considering this is a free speech forum, is quite an accomplishment, congratulations to ourselves!
Just look at this topic. You can rant, someone else says, uhm take it easy or elsewhere, you say bah, ok, and it's over. It's egalitarian. Not some guy moderating your opinion and giving you penalty points like a toddler. I never get along with moderated forums. I tend to get banned at some point for opinion.
I like to keep away from politics
so I didn't follow that.
I have the bad habit of saying what I think out loud, even at work I do that ....sometimes....
DT is the only forum where I didn't saw the lynch mob effect after talking shit, I have a very short fuse when it comes to that, I try to self-moderate but it doesn't work all the time.
I should have been wyser, artisan caps are a touchy subject, mainly because of the aftermarket prices, nobody wants to hear that a piece of art they paid $$$ is considered trash by someone, each time I did that I saw a lynch mob taking shape. I believe in freedom of speech, especialy when it comes to voting for something, I think I am allowed maybe even entitled to say that I don't like something that I owned and saw in real life, it's my point of view and I don't like to be judged for that. I say what I have to say and we carry on, whent I see someone even trying to pick up a stone it becomes personal. People in the "free" world have no clue how it feels to live under a dictator so PLEASE DON'T BE ONE!
End of rant
I wish good luck to the makers, may the best one win! No hard feelings, criticism is the best drive for creativity!
