Huh? There's another senior forum?Having run several forums over the years, I can say that it's not considered good form to discuss other forums that target the same audiences. Some forum administrators are competing, and even those who aren't competing in the traditional sense don't like seeing people pointed to another forum. For my part, I'd just like us to do our thing here without comparisons with other forums. Other than one long-defunct senior forum that I was once a member of, I didn't look at any of the other senior forums for ideas. Given that we're seniors, there are sure to be enough commonalities as it is. I'd rather not have any other forums badmouthed here, because that simply exacerbates ill will and doesn't do anyone any good. As long as we're not all trying to do the same things in the same way, there's room for other senior forums.
Sometimes, I'll be warned by someone or another that a new member has been banned from another senior forum, and, while I don't mind if people tell me these things, I don't really need to know it since any new members will be judged according to what they do here, not by what they might have done elsewhere. Even if they're banned from here, they can generally come back if they ask.
I am somewhat sensitive to the concept that this is a conservative forum because I don't consider that to be the case. I'm not registered with any political party, and I consider myself a liberal but not a progressive. However, I couldn't care less how other members vote, and I would hate to think that someone would believe they have to agree with me or anyone else here to be a welcome member of the forum. Why would I want to carry on a conversation with a bunch of people who agree with me on everything? Even if I strongly disagree with you on something under discussion in the forum, that wouldn't mean you're not welcome here. I know that some people do that, but I've never understood the idea that two people who disagree cannot have an enjoyable conversation.
In my old age, I have become considerably less political than I once was, anyhow.
So you are OLD?so was Ia member I mean. Not banned though.
I will neither confirm or deny membership at the old Buzz 50. Their forum stunk and they were about chat rooms. @Hoot Crawford Did you know a lady on there that posted a swimsuit photo? Perhaps you were banned for commenting and liking her photo. Her photo was deleted and she was severely warned and threatened with banishment, if that makes you feel any better.I'm so old I was a member of Buzz50, from which I was banned before it crashed..
