Everything you saw go down with this thread is why I don't pay for a star here anymore and rarely even visit the forum anymore. The overreaching censorship by the mods became tiresome years ago, and it looks like nothing has changed.
TexAgs is a private owned company. Any legal precedent be damned…if they wanna delete content on their website, let 'em. It's their website. That's how I feel about it. No transparency or 1st Amendment rights expected by me.
I've made some dumbass public comments on TA and gotten combative responses. Usually ends up with me taking a sabbatical (hats off to you,
NW80). Heck, I even changed my username to my real name to make me feel more accountable for what I posted.
I used to take the internet too seriously. Now I'm older and wiser and I don't anymore. Very liberating…some of y'all should try it!
That said, this place is magical. I've mourned the passing of two parents, a grandfather, and my best hunting dog here. Celebrated the birth of three children and countless successful trips afield. Met many friends. *****ed. Moaned. Learned. Ridiculed. Argued. And watched people come and go.
Don't ever change, OB!
Happy almost 19th birthday (tomorrow)!
