      You and the person in post 31 have something in common [emoji106]

        You guys keep quoting the vermin. If this was my site, my call he’d have been ahead of East Texas in being banned. Just call him by his name. It fits.

            Micheal, I do not know why you dislike talking about politics and or JESUS/religion. Both things are of the necessary nature. That being said, I personally do not post on the PACE forum, this being my initial post/response.
            You asked a question so I am compelled to answer. I come to the PACE forum to read and gather info on current events. I am interested in peoples responses about political current events and can handle whatever is said from either side of the coin. Many people that post here are able to retrieve and exhibit a wealth of info and I think it is worth whatever bickering that transpires to be able to read it.


            Just one more tidbit, I have witnessed many more and much more heated arguments on the CFB threads, so IMHO, the PACE forum is very mild in comparison.


            I hope you decide to keep it, I personally need it. Best place on the internet to get whatever info you need.


            Thanx

              This view of the OP and others that politics are a "burden" that "detract" from this community is a dangerous one, and largely responsible for why we are in the losing position that we are currently in. If anyone thinks that any of the things we care about as hunters aren't intrinsically tied to and dependant upon our ability to organize, plan, discuss, and inform each other of political issues, then they are very, very wrong. Especially under the current circumstances where liberals are successfully employing an aggressive strategy to attack conservatives' ability to organize online. If you care about the ability to hunt, science based wildlife management, anything related to the second amendment, the availability of public hunting land, property rights, taxes that impact your ability to own land, and other topics that directly related to what this outdoor community represents, then understand that what we have is going to be taken away unless people stop sitting back and enjoying the benefits, and start participating in the fighting. Because right now you're losing. So instead of contributing to that failure and discouraging participation, you should realize the potential of what exists here and exploit it. People here could be organizing petitions, organizing fundraisers and events, educating each other about legislation and laws, organizing turnout to city hall meetings, even creating a PAC if people wanted to. But instead, half the people on TBH don't even know PACE exists because it's hidden from the recent threads column and doesn't appear on the Home page unless you have tapatalk.

              It all comes down to if you want to preserve what we as an outdoor hunting community value. If the answer is yes, then a large number of people here need to reevaluate their perspective on things, because this new generation of democratic socialists is outsmarting and outworking you hard

                To answer your question, Michael,

                I come for the entertainment of it, it's like a bad superbowl commercial you can't look away from and it provides different perspectives and thought provoking commentary. In the climate over the past year especially, PACE has hit all the hot topics, although its mostly an echo chamber of opinions it leads to sources of information I wouldn't have seen otherwise.

                I will keep it civil on my end or hit the back button, I support whatever the TBH decision is moving forward, I didn't join the site for politics and current events, I joined it because I'm a bow hunter and have been hunting and fishing for almost 40 years. It's a fine fellowship even when people don't see eye to eye.

                  I am a Texan one month out of the year. The other 11 months I live in Michigan. the only thing that prevents me from moving down there are my kids and grandkids. I really enjoy visiting your state. My Marine buddy who took a head shot in Viet Nam and was paralyzed on his right side lives just north of San Antonio. His name is Bob and he is the former Texas State Champion disabled silhouette shooter and Safari Club International Disable hunter of the year. He has taken me out to a couple of ranches to do some hunting. He introduced me to this group.

                  I lost my wife to cancer almost two years ago and I roam on about 4 sites on the computer and this is one of them. Visiting here really helps me between the ears as my wife and I had almost 48 years in. It is really tough sledding for me right now. I really enjoy most of the forums on here, Especially the DIY and traditional sections.

                  So thank you and if I post the wrong thing you can toss me.

                    I see many people talking about coming here because they get something here. Since my first post, I made decision to CONTRIBUTE more than I took. I still do that. I would encourage all if you that "get" something here to read back through your own post and ask your self what you contribute to the community.

                    Most of the pot stirring rodents contribute nothing. Look back through years of their posts and not one thread actually contributing to the forum.

                      I believe if you want to get opinions and audience on true hunter political issues such as public lands policy, wolf and bear re-introduction, grazing policy and interior department leadership post in "Around the Campfire".

                        I’ve been banned multiple times & deserved it 100% of the time...
                        It’s a campfire & I’m just being me...
                        Some fires I’m invited too, some I’m not...that’s life...
                        Your site, your rules...and you should never have to justify that either...

                        For those thinking this place is just like any other social forum, then you really & honestly don’t get this place...

                        If the PACE forum is creating a culture on TBH you don’t want Micheal, then shut it down.
                        I logged in before there was a PACE forum, while there was a PACE forum & still will if there is no longer a PACE forum.

                          In the conspiracy thread a post was just recently made in deference to Lin Wood...a fanatical right wing extremist who is on record saying politicians who didn't support Trump's insurrection should be executed by firing squad.

                          This is Lin Wood:

                          "Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST," Wood posted Thursday morning to Parler, a "free speech" conservative social media network.

                          Extremist? Nah....

                          Such things are not uncommon in the P/CE.

                          The 2nd paragraph in Michael's OP really nailed it.

                          In a way, TBH could be in a similar position as the GOP...stop the madness and face the wrath of MAGA or let it continue largely unabated and just hope it doesn't combust.

                          Get ready for 4 years of vengeful, conspiratorial, extreme rhetoric directed toward the government, American institutions, moderate politicians and over half the US voting population, because that is what's coming in the P/CE.

                            20 or so years ago I MIGHT have agreed Biden was a moderate. His base won’t allow it now.

                            I’m bracing for some pretty radical changes to come forth. We will see how it actually plays out.

                                Let's be honest about the P/CE forum...it's become a virtual bedding area for right wing extremism. There is a relatively consistent stream of fanatical right wing commentary posted here. What was once a virtual regurgitation of conservative-biased opinions from Fox News, Breitbart and Rush Limbaugh has become even worse, and now regularly includes right wing ideology and conspiracy from the most extreme fringe of America. More specifically, and this is no exaggeration, there are regular posters in the P/CE forum who no longer find Fox News and conservative Republicans like Mike Pence to be right wing enough for them, and they have now disowned those conservative entities and have instead opted to bring the most ideologically and politically extreme voices in our country into this forum and to proclaim that they are patriotic in doing so.

                                Frankly, I'm not sure why any mainstream forum would want to be associated with that.

                                Personally, I would hang a closed sign on the P/CE forum and I would leave the sign up permanently. I don't think the P/CE forum is a good look for TBH or the hunting community, and I think it divides much more than it unites. That said, I also recognize I'm very much a vocal minority in here. It's obviously not my business and I don't expect anyone to give a rip what I think.

                                Assuming the P/CE forum stays open, I hope to be able to control myself to spend little to no time in it after Trump's departure. He will no longer be in a position to day after day divide, divide, divide and divide.

                                I would also like to find some more members of the community, even if it's just a few, who have also had enough of the Trump insanity and the political extremism from the right and left. Some moderate thinking normal people who don't brand themselves conservative or liberal, who don't obsess about politics, who don't regularly consume ideological bias and who don't consider large groups of Americans their enemy simply because they have a different perspective. I have made a couple of connections like that here, and it has been great.
                                Well said.
