coming from B&B

[Randy]

I have been a member of Badger & Blade for 10 years, and I have not been banned yet. Although I only post in three places, the straight razor of the day, the photo thread and the knife thread. I would imagine it would be pretty hard to get banned from posting on those threads. As someone who also moderates a big group of straight razor users with more than 8,000 members, for me, less is more seems to work the best; rarely do I ever have to ban someone.

But there isn't any Toby or Speedy in this forum, right?

Correct, if there were, I don't think they would reach two posts before they were banned for life. Having said that, the Against the Grain forum is by far the best moderated shaving forum you will come across. I think it also tells you that the British are far more tolerant than our American friends. I would bet my house on it that if a British person posted half the that some people post on here, be it on an Australian or an American forum, they would receive a life ban, and not that I'm against them posting it, but also be thankful for the British for their easy-going nature and tolerance, the Brits are drip fed on sarcasm from an early age in the UK so most insults is like water off a ducks back.

Well said.

I had one warning, surprisingly with a long discussion, on B and B. There was a thread about thoughtless first names that parents given their children, I had recently met someone called Olive Black which I thought was a curious first name given the compulsory last name.

I had a grey box warning telling me that racist posts would not be tolerated.

I felt like saying that I had put up with a lifetime of racist comments but I let it go.

Not bad, you lasted 3 years, only once was I nearly banned from there, in the jokes section I posted a very tame religious joke by my standards, well, you know what Americans are like when it comes to God & Guns.

 

[SpeedyPC]

you know what Americans are like when it comes to God & Guns.

OT:- Never mixed guns with god, unless you have a good reason. I'm not getting involved in this conversation.

Only surpassed by religion and sling shots.

Just guns for me, I'm a heathen.

I have also owned firearms and shotguns since I was 16, and I have always been pro-gun. Religion is a definite no from me. If I could ban it, I would.

 

[Twelvefret]

I grew up with guns also, but never made a religion out of owning them.
