That plus the toxic Internet detective/stalking/doxxing culture that arose out of Helldump/Laissez Faire.<br /><br />TFR (the firearms subforum) used to be OK but the whole forums was totally gripped with Obamania in 2008 and having slight qualms about how Senator Present who'd endorsed a handgun ban might also do something else was dismissed as lunatic paranoia. I imagine some sparks flew when Fast and Furious broke.<br /><br />I really don't see SA becoming more friendly to limited-government capitalistic viewpoints again anytime soon. One thing I've noticed about a number of online communities--apart from students, obviously, people on the dole or who have the luxury of jobs that they can ceaselessly goldbrick online at without penalty are heavily, heavily overrepresented.<br /><br />Also there are some SA/TFR posters that have a personal dislike of Oleg because they think he's creepy due to some of the photographic work he's done with slightly-clothed models.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-67287447877387504262012-06-07T22:58:20.693-04:002012-06-07T22:58:20.693-04:00Noah D,
