Hey guys, haven't been in here in a while. What's up?
I gotta ask, do you guys actually LIKE INGO? Because there sure seems to be an awful lot of hatred for the board in general and the staff in particular. You obviously know that there are two other websites that serve Indiana gun owners, so there are other places to go. Both are used to stage attacks against INGO on a regular basis, although the staff does not allow a bad word against either of those two sites. I've seen what people say about me, in particular, and the rest of the staff, in general, on those sites and those posters should be ashamed of themselves. And yes, some of those posters come right back here and smile right in my face as they tell me what great friends we are.
I constantly hear complaints about what a terrible job we do running this board, but it's always from the people who are doing their best to irritate and annoy both the staff and other members, all while staying JUST this side of the line that will get them an infraction or worse, because then they can claim innocence and complain that the staff is being unfair. I hear complaints of "us versus them", but I never see anything from the complainers to try to address that problem. In fact, just now, I saw one of the staff members attempt to shed a little light on why we do what we do and he was attacked for it. I, myself, rarely post anymore simply because I'm tired of being told that everything I do is wrong and I should "have a thicker skin", because apparently it's OK to be constantly attacked and I should never attempt to defend myself (yes, it pretty much doesn't matter what I do as a moderator, someone will tell me that). In fact, I read a few threads in the last couple of weeks basically burning me in effigy, even though I was not involved in those threads in any way whatsoever. You seem to want us to keep order and enforce the rules, but the minute we do, we get complaints about it. We've even had several of the staff stalked by members for enforcing the rules, to the point where we've had to get the police involved.
So my question, and I ask this with all honesty and humility, is do you actually like INGO? If not, why do you stay? If you do like INGO, what would motivate you to go out of your way to "stir the pot"? You have to know that doing so is counter-productive. It harms INGO. Do you, as fully grown adults, really have nothing better to do than troll INGO? If you like INGO and want it to succeed, what will you be willing to do to help that along? Are you willing to do something other than complain about the staff and take shots? Are you willing to step up and actually be a positive force for change?
