I think it’s time for the open question to Greybeard; is this blog what you envisioned when you created it, do you think it represents the world views of even a small fraction of your forums members, what effect do you think it has on potential members as they stop by GBO to look around and does it bother you that you’ve in essence created a blackboard for a single persons benefit to cut and paste an anti-Semitic fueled alternative reality?
If the heart of a gun forum are the gun blogs then the soul of the forum must be its non-gun blogs. For all the thousands of GBO members the “Truth, Lies and Conspiracy Theories” blog is the domain of a single person, to further his hate filled beliefs, nobody else need attempt to post something or to counter his ridiculous postings. The few of us that challenge his nonsense become “Zionist agents”, “working for the cabal”, or whatever else his fevered mind can imagine. There’s no point in soft-serving it or trying to disguise what’s being posted here as “truth”, no point in hiding behind false arguments like “I don’t mind the Jews, it’s the Zionists I’m against”, that’s the same as someone saying “some of my best friends are blacks” as they light the cross in a black man’s yard. At the end of the day the “Truth, Lies and Conspiracy Theories” blog is a soft-served version of what you find on the unvarnished hate sites.
Sure this stuff is all over the internet already, visit any neo-Nazi, white supremacist or anti-Semitic page and it’s all there. The difference is this forum is a GUN forum. I’m retired military, currently working for the government, Southern, Republican, conservative, and according to my wife I own way more guns than I really need; I should fall right in the demographic that GBO represents. Why do I and a small hand full of other GBO members bother countering the nonsense TM7 posts? Because someone has to show that he doesn’t represent GBO membership and that his anti-Semitic fueled rants are not acceptable to Americans at large and gun owners in particular.
