Not all of the behavior is trolling. But much of it is. One of the trolls has admitted as much, twice! He has admitted that his intent is not to further discussion, but to stir up trouble—and has declared such to be “fun”.
The site is unquestionably dying. Participation here is probably about 1/20th what it was when I last participated—and a large portion of that participation is people deliberately trying to agitate, not discuss with, others.
Eye95 you are posting and making accusations without any sort of substantial evidence and are now looking quite foolish pleading your nonsensical and obvious irrational martyr complex to the masses, after yet another “well-respected, long-term member of OCDO” tells you your perception(s) of being trolled are unfounded!
Additionally, this same “well-respected, long-term member of OCDO” also states their belief the OCDO site is still vibrant and has “picked” up!
That stated eye95, I am beginning to see one of your misperceptions about this site’s activity when you state, “when I last participated”!
That was 5 years ago eye95 when you were ban’d and the nuances of OC across this country were still being actively pursued as well as the social media complex phenomenon(s) of FB/twitter/ad nauseam became intertwined to allow crossposting coupled with wiki being able to reliably answer a myriad of questions on any subject.
Since that time grassroots forums, OH & SC [
http://www.scfirearms.org/] & CO [
http://www.cogunowners.com/ ] & UT [
http://www.goutah.org/ ] & NV [
https://www.nevadagunforum.com/ ] and others e.g. YOURS, have become embarrassing wastelands blowing in the cyber winds of the ethernet just taking up bandwidth.
Others like the high road have outdated material posted yet moderate like the material is gospel and immediately excommunicate anyone who challenges the material.
north/southwest firearm forum has become the new backpage and if members challenge each other whatsoever in discussions, postings are immediately deleted as the lynch mob moderators then wonder among themselves why do the threads lack any semblance of conscious continuity [moderator andy of northwest is the only exception]
Dying no eye95, membership here is alive and vibrant we further discuss finessing OC laws/carry/etc., as has been the practice since its inception.
Eye95, it should be even clearer to you as other august members speak out about you and your activities and how your perceptions are askew.
And no eye95, denial in not a river in Egypt!
