This forum feels like it is becoming Spanglerbart.

I know I’m weird, but I love cycling. So much strategy involved, and so much sightseeing of far off places that I’ll probably never have the ability to travel to.

It’s killing the board.
Your post and two likes make my point. Glad I dont work under your authority. Being old and retired has its benefits when it come to speaking truth. You can't kick me off my bicycle :lol: 🚲

I think our point is you literally post things that anyone can just log on to www.foxnews.com and read for themselves.

I’m with Spangler even though I think we disagree on most things 8)

Activity on the board doesn’t kill the board. If you’re not interested or don’t have anything to say, don’t respond. Or if you want to post things from a different point of view, by all means do so.

The problem with that is the amount of people who have said they have stopped posting because of how far right any discussion has gone in recent years. They don’t want to be associated with those conversations. Those people leaving have allowed even more further right comments to be accepted and even encouraged.

Honestly, that’s part of why I started posting instead of lurking. There were too many far right views being left unchecked. I don’t want people to come here and think that’s a full representation of the Liberty community. I don’t think the answer is to chastise someone for posting, though. I think it’s engaging with thoughtful ideas from your point of view as well.

While this is one of the weakest post I've read on here in past 10 years, it speaks loudly. I noticed you didn't chime in on the Dr Voddie Baucham videos I posted. That was odd, because it's the first time you didn't offer us your option on something. :?:

That’s why I post as well. It’s as much for the people reading as it is the people I’m responding to. But I fully understand why those who have left have left.

To long, explains a lot. If you don't like what Dr Voddie Baucham has to say then please stop acting like Doc was your hero. He's a man after Doc's own heart. And he would be a great choice as our next chancellor. :idea:
