I'm out. I'll fight the 2A issues without MDS.
I usually skip the drama...Jeff jumps in with both feet.
Norton, yer just doin’ yer job. Take another 20 outta petty cash.

Sad to see this.
In speaking for myself, it’s become significantly more difficult here on MDS to see content through contention. I don’t think I’m alone in that thought, but I’m fine with it if I am. I also don’t think Norton wanted this turn of events. One man’s opinion.

That’s too bad but a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. Norton, I’m glad I don’t have your job of keeping this civil. Best of luck to Jeff and his brother. Hopefully someone will keep us informed on his legal case outcome.

Sad and detrimental, but mod's discretion. The rules are pretty clear and easy to find.
I've done my fair share of forum modding. If you allow any members, no matter how popular or special or important, to run roughshod, you're fvcked.
Trust in the mods, it's a thankless but very necessary job. To those who can't, bye Felicia.

As I've watched the drama unfold, my thoughts echo your thoughts.
Some hearing the countdown clock clicking are prone to riskier behavior. Like getting yourself arrested, tossed out of the MGA or banned from a forum.
Good luck to Jeff and hats off to Norton on making what was most likely a tough decision.
Racks last 5 posts are still up so I wonder what happened?
I'm still fairly new--can people be banned for PM content if the PM is forwarded to mods?
Not pontificating or making any assumptions, just curious.
This is a privately owned forum. You have no 1A “rights” here. So it’s based on Mods discretion based on nature of PM. Threats are not tolerated

That's the mark that a lot of you guys constantly miss - it's not mine. It's ours. I literally take nothing away from here in terms of material compensation, nor am I the owner.
The rules here are designed to ensure that everyone's voices are heard and to ensure that what we do serves the larger function of the forum. And, this community was always meant to bring gun owners together, not drive them apart.
Yeah, not surprised. He has smacked me down once quite harshly but in a PM and over something goofy enough to now laugh about, dude's got a lot going on! I would like to see PP market themselves more given this, I believe they could grow nationally. Reminds me of my first MDS lunch probably dozen of us including Fabs and Rack , all good conversation but I was worried they would kick us out for having such a good time. Korean BBQ? So, ... I think he'll be back.
Norton, your just doing your job and a good job at that, Thanks for helping to make this one of the best Firearms forums on the interweb!

I'm kinda with you Outlaw.
It's a real shame and ironic that Rack got a big 1A win yesterday in Court, and gets a permaban on MDS!
"But I'm offended, I'm offended...".
Sounds like what I hear on college campuses, and their Free Speech zones.
If you don't like what the PP is doing or saying, there's plenty of other threads to enjoy. Sheesh, it's like the old days with TV, just change the channel.

Agreed, just skip the thread.... no panties in a bunch... dont like it, dont keep reading that post. You are all adults.... sack up and stick together dammit
I hit Norton's auto-sig "The Forum Rules" to re-read. It's abundantly clear what you can and can't do and the consequences. I admire Rack and the work he's done (and the rest of PP members). I've contributed a wee bit of my time to PP and made a contribution. That said, don't violate the rules, don't get banned.
I pray Rack beats back cancer for good.

Tough call sir--- no easy day to practice leadership in a house full of Alpha males.

Where's the beef?
I was happy to see him come back from camp yesterday, and I was sad to see that he went to a camp again this morning.
Regardless of what you may feel about R&R and his approach, it would be an impossible case to make that he doesn't love the United States of America as it was founded. I add "as it was founded", because if the forces who would destroy it succeed, they'll make any case they want on anyone. Rack knows that. Rack lives that.

No. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech and everything to do with stop being a passive aggressive, snide commenting ass.
PP, for all of the good work that it it has done, has done nothing more than Alinsky anyone here who dares not to worship with full fealty at the altar of St. Jeff.
Anyone who might just have something that canonically that they aren't onboard with is instantly swarmed by the faithful, abused by the leadership and marginalized as being a Fudd or worse. It's the classic identify, attack and paralyze tactic and you guys need to be afraid that it's being used against other gun owners.
It is absolutely destroying the very independence of thought that this community was always intended to represent.
Even after a one week vacation, within less than a couple of hours, the passive aggressive ******** starts back up. His nasty sniping infects nearly corner of every conversation here, and we know for a fact that he incites the faithful to follow suit.
On the other hand, we have the panty waisted people who simply don't like Jeff and they spend their entire lives scouring every punctuation mark of the PP, reporting posts and trying to use us as their enforcers for their personal problems. You're a bunch of asses too and just as big a part of the problem.
For those of you that are "OMG Jeff is gone, I'm gone too....." See ya. You're proving my point.
That maybe didnt come across right, by "yours" I meant you are the "gate keeper" or whatever. Someone has to be the "head honco", the "enforcer", the "voice of reason" I didnt mean this as "Norton is taking his ball and going home" or anything like that.
