Colt, for the record I have never been booted or suspended from Raging Bull. Still to this day my original and only alias of nycnpbbkr is active. You weren't around when One started the BARMS thread, however it was originally called the "guns" thread. The story of that thread was something and part of Raging Bull's early history.

The guns thread started off fine with no problems and strangely enough not a single battle. Sportsmen and gun lovers were talking about guns then some "unknown" liberal, left-wing, homosexual, adulterer, multiple body pierced, poster (secretly) complained that the word "guns" was "politically incorrect" and overnight the entire guns thread and all it's posts went poof.

I wish I could provide you with links of the battle the ensued against Raging Bull and it's blatant censorship at the SUGG thread immediately afterwards, however all the 100's of posts which occurred over a short couple of days in support of the guns thread were deleted by Raging Bull after Rusty yielded to supporters of the first amendment who considered censorship much more threatening than the word gun. The guns thread was reinstated under it's current name of BARMS.

Colt, I have no doubt that "the real reason you were booted" was because your pseudonym is too politically incorrect for Raging Bull's new management.
