    He takes it to another level, but thats on him. I would say it is always in response to some out of line post though. Once again, it comes back to who you were raised around. And acknowledging that what you guys are saying is actually considered hurtful to him. I would hope you and the others on here that seem to rally around each other on certain topics don’t really enjoy hurting other people the way it seems. If it’s all just about fucking with people and having fun....thats one thing. But there sure seems to be a lot of hate coming from your guys’ posts that seems very authentic. Just hoping it’s not being passed along to a younger generation.

    Like I tried explaining to you before. My generation isn’t racist. Maybe yours is. But mine isn’t.

    Offended you think I drink beer. I don't.

    @dviss1 and I have had conversations with one another from time to time where we don't agree. Not even remotely.
    But just because I don't punch a brick wall doesn't mean I don't have his back.
    He's still one of the few posters I think I could get along with on this forum irl.

    The banned poster played the 'idk any better card' long enough.
    Glad he's gone.

    You haven't been around this forum long enough to say this.
    Nor do you know what goes on in DM.

    because it doesn't have to be good enough for you.....but him saying it counters your view that you've never heard it...you just heard it from him

    Honestly? Because I see where is coming from on a lot of his opinions. I don’t think he will ever get across to you guys on here when he gets so upset, but thats just pent up frustration being released on the topic. I have friends who some might consider militant almost when in comes to rights for him and his fellow African Americans. Things they post on facebook, I don’t always agree with, but damn sure understand where they like dviss are coming from. These guys see it day in and day out where as with the majority on here, it doesn’t even register. dviss, in no way am I trying to speak for you, those were just my opinions.

    Some on here, I truly believe just enjoy fucking with him and setting him off. It’s not cool if you ask me. I stay away from this side because I am disgusted by the views of some, but he is stronger than me and seems more educated than myself. So he is armed with more to come back at you guys. If you step back and take a look at it, I think his harsh way of putting across his message pisses you guys off more than the actual message.

    I grew up in several different states and towns/cities among diverse groups of people. I have only heard the word edmucated and such dialect used that way to describe hillbillies.

    I have family who are hillbillies. But, I am opened minded. I see others have seen it used differently and find it insulting. I can be understanding of that. I try to be careful with the words I use. For the most part I think I do ok. I am sure sometimes a word or words I have used have been taken out of context, or thought to mean something I don't. I do make a lot of jokes. Most are approriate. Some are probably not. I think its important to be deliberate but be conscious of what you say.

    Meh, he is just like a lot of us. Some times we all enjoy being the lighting rod.

    L respect almost everyone on here. I do not agree with everyone, for the most part I try to understand their point of view.

    I swear that Big D is sitting back, 40 in hand and his bong on the table, posting shit just to stir the pot. Not always, mind you. but just enough too laugh at us.

    So like right here. This could be considered racist.
    But personally I don't have much interest in banging my fist against a brick wall as I've learned some people will never change their opinions on skin color.
    Which is why I don't sit here on this forum and call out every single possible racist comment.

    But the difference is that I go out and try to find proof to back it up. I don't just take one person's word for it.

    Example: I bought a shotgun for trap shooting back in October. I got it on sale for almost half off. Today I found out that apparently Remington is a joke. They sold to another company in 2007 and since then they have gone completely in the toilet. Their guns rust, they jam, they are just overall bad quality. One person brought this up, and then another, and then another. I went to google and found multiple articles backing it up. I actually haven't taken the gun out of the original box because the weather has been so crummy.... but now I'm thinking of getting rid of it because I don't want it to rust.

    The point though, is that I would never just take one person's word for it. If one guy had told me that the Remington 870 Express was a piece of shit now, I wouldn't just sell the gun based on that one person's opinion. I would go and try to find other evidence to back it up.

    So when it comes to something like "edumacate," I have seen people use that word in passing many times. If I have somehow missed that word being associated with racism towards black people, I want to know it. I don't want to use it in public if it's something that deeply offends people. But I'm not just going to take the word of one person because that one person could be wrong. They could be overly sensitive. If someone called you an old bowling shoe, and they said it in an insulting way, you'd know that they meant it to be an insult, but is old bowling shoe actually an insult?

    Does it matter what the words are if they're said with hate and venom? :dunno:

    Sorry if my need to learn is annoying.

    This is something I always appreciated about your posts...some folks refuse to listen to anything not connected to their own internal dialogue

    So can we all just agree that there is a double standard on this forum, and move on?

    It's a forum of opinion...not a court of law..and when a member has an opinion...take their word for it or not but you seem hungry to contest his for some reason...there is a mountain of opinonated proof out there that really just supports whatever narrative you argue from...dviss is a great guy...I've met him and his son and he does get triggered here...most of us do..like to see that culture change
