It was in many ways an experiment, a reaction by its original owner to having been pitched unfairly from another forum, that one very heavy-handed and arguably self-serving in its moderation. (I won't waste my time there, either).
Anyway, this one was set up and pretty much ignored by its owner, and included what was an experiment in "free speech" called the Club Car Lounge. It began as a group of friends but descended pretty quickly into an exercise in anarchy after the original owner passed.
Bill never moderated for content; rather he quietly tossed people for abusive behaviour. After his death, it became an exercise in old men hurling truly unbridled insults, ultra-right and ultra-left anger and hate, all the while knowing their opposite number was out of range of the baseball bat (sometimes decorum comes from Louisville).
Some apparently think its funny or entertaining to be abusively uncivil, some really believe the swill they serve up with a ladle, none realise that they are on the internet and in full view of their peers in the hobby and indeed of those for whom the tacit monitoring of hate-groups is a profession.
Truly a microcosm of Americans not knowing the difference between exercising "their rights" and choosing to do what is right.
