Can't delete I think. You could of course just put all sorts of deflective stuff in your profile to make it totally impossible to guess it was you and then just leave the profile dormant.

Problem of say deleting a facebook profile, as in totally deleting it, is that all your FB posts ever made on any FB forum will disappear forever too -- including your comments on your grandkid's this and that photo etc. But at least they do give you that particular nuclear button to use to tidy up after yourself.

Here is a guy who went to delete his FB account, watch what happens:

Yeah. It has made for some brave cowards. Like anything A mix of good and tugboatery. No forum, or FB group is immune from it.

Yeah, but only a partial truth. Just as likely an argument to say that its a far more level playing field than one dominated by surplus of physicality and low intellect...

The only person who's managed to delete their posts has been Tussock, way back when he was a blue and spat the dummy initially. His posts were still there but they featured his name only - i.e. they were empty posts, unless where he was quoted.. This was eventually tidied up somehow.

There is no native user ability to delete either themselves, or their posts beyond the editing / delete window after the initial post.

But for me it's a day away from the rat race and welcome time in the bush . I have posted a few hunting stories but mainly they involve the kids .
I posted a story about my new years fallow but have not shot a deer since .
I even posted a story about my last hunting trip away a few months back where we shot nothing at all , in an effort to at least try and contribute to the hunting threads ......
Some of us just don't have the hunting opportunities/experiences others have that make good reading , or get out often enough to post hunting yarns very often .

I went out 2 weekends ago just me and Remmy after goats . Drove for 2 hrs to our spot . Walked another hour and half before seeing our first goat , which the bloody dog decided to chase instead of point at . I spat the dummy , he walked out with head hung low , and we drove 2 hrs home again .
Not a very interesting read eh .....

it IS interesting....and some folks may have consoled you and maybe even given hints as to what will prevent same happening again.... I miss seeing goats.

That is the place we are at in the absence of a formalised constitutional documents, but in the reality that our current legislative framework creates. Not only that but the state does not bequeath priviledge, it is only capable of taking it away. My right to live breathe and make choices is not bestowed on by any govt.....

Why do we persist in not understanding that?

The fact that we don't have a constitutionally formalised recognition of our "infringed privileges" has no bearing on whether the current oppressive irrationality should be contested...

You can feel as privileged as you want about the state not being as onerous as it could be, but I know and so does every history student that the onset of an aggressive state against individual freedoms is not thwarted by pretending its not happening.

I have no objection to moderating idiocy, I think we have a responsibility to those not understanding that.... but no-one yet has provided a answer to my question??

If this is not a suitable place for thrashing out issues that affect us as a community - where is?

that last line is good this place should be a place where the community should be able to freely vent get stuff off their chest and unwind. Unfortunately it looks like a few here would rather you shut the fuk up hold it in until one day you cant any more blow up and possibly go and do something stupid with a firearm then it will be the same people whinging like fuk because it reflects on them to. Ive run out of nice ways to say it if you don't like the topic piss off and read one you do like if you don't like the particular poster piss off and go and interact with a member you do like if the thread isn't harming anyone piss off and leave them alone. If you still just cant help your self go hang with cindy and you can have each others backs and keep each other safe you can even help her draft the new hate speech laws as it will be right up your alley go clean face book up with her then bring her here and clean this place up she will probably even give you a little smiley stamp on the back of your hand or even better a red star. Flame away...

ouch

I have watched a couple of forums just die off.

It's generally because they just run out of subject matter and there are not enough new members coming in.Also a few fuckwits entrench themselves believing that just because no body argues with them they are in the right.

This,coupled with a "hidden forum" by invitation only where some of the former frequent posters or long term members hang out just means they don't engage on the forum anymore.

At the end of the day,if I walked into a pub and decided I didn't like it.I would turn around and leave. I wouldn't write all the reasons I thought it was shit all over the walls ,then expect it to change.Likewise if I was a Publican who felt the mood was changing I would take steps to move it the way I wanted it.

Yes but as we know there are plenty of people that have access to firearms that shouldnt the horse has already bolted on that one

He commented on a particular thread - saying they obviously all aren’t like you.

I hope that you told the 'anti gun person' that they are the worst type of scum that there is. Not because they are anti gun, but because they want to watch other people (spy) and report on others to the authorities. What do they hope to gain not uncover but 'gain' ? My Mrs grew up under East German commy rule. To gain advancement or privilege you had to be a member of the 'Party', if you wanted for example a better education for your kids then some part time spying and reporting on your neighbours to the Stasi would do it.

You got the wrong end of stick there.
I said "others". know who individuals are on here. I haven't a clue how they know or how they do it.
I don't give a toss who you are. Or anyone on here.

That last sentance would apply to the general population...
