The State of the Forum

[chainsaw]

Well frankly I don't when the matters being affected directly concern the interest group identity that we suscribe to....

Sure keep general politics and religion off it if you want - but in case you haven't noticed our society has changed. These forums are almost the only opportunity for our community to have a public voice. The media sure aren't interested in allowing us to represent our perspectives. Sure moderate the irrational, but robust contribution concerning legal and constitutional matters that directly affect us seems important to me. At the very least as a source of infomration to the wider group.

You can pretend its all just the same, but it isn't. And frankly returning to the constant dribble and bullshit about waikato beer pretending that is something that worth bothering with will only confirm the inevitiable. You only get two choices and whether you like it or not, remaining relevant is about the only way to remain relevant.

Yep, that's ^^^ pretty much how I see it too.
Our world has changed, Tarrant and the politicians have seen to that. VERY IMPORTANT that we all stay informed and in touch as I fear as "they" (anti gun & politicians) aint done yet, not by half. We need to be willing to stand up for what we hold dear & enjoy, and not let some muppets in Wellington driven by their ideology take away those rights and privileges that we share. Silence will be deemed to be agreement.
No, we dont need irrational raving (political or religious) but by god we need a common voice.

I also look forward to more hunting and shooting stories and general banter ..... its good to see this coming back to the fore.
