The Bar > Introductions & Subsequent Welcomes
Greetings from Taxachusetts
NRAInstructor:
Hello all.
My name is Brian. I live in Massachusetts, and I am VERY red dot living in a very blue state.
I quit social media last year (zero regrets) after I posted on facebook "Trump won the election, Biden won the installation" and got Zucked for 30 days for that comment. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. It feels great to be out from under the thumb of oppression of social media, but I feel very disconnected from my fellow conservatives now.
Tried a few other message boards and received a "less than warm" welcome. Immediately got accused of being a banned member returned in disguise, an FBI agent, etc.
I am not expecting everyone to come rushing up to me with tears in their eyes and open arms, and I understand that I probably have to earn everyone's trust and that will take time (and I'm willing to put in the work), but I am here for civil discussion, not hazing or other initiation rituals by means of abuse.
Living in Mass sucks enough energy out of me. I'm here looking to escape that, not add to it.
Thank you for having me!
Texacon:
Howdy, and welcome. We’re a pretty tight knit group here, but very easy to get to know.
I left Facebook a year ago January and have zero regrets, other than some good pictures I had stored there and lost. It was worth the loss.

Come on in, kick off the shoes, sit back, and relax!
NRAInstructor:
Thank you both for the welcome! Great to be here :)

Welcome! Still remember the days when I first started inhabiting a few conservative message boards damn near 2 decades ago.

As Texacon said, we are a mostly friendly group of like-minded folks. Occasional disagreements are common, but unlike perpetually butt-hurt liberals, we get over it.
And as we used to say, newbies have to bring the beer. Or pie. :cheersmate:
