Interesting....since they are all gone, the only way that you would have known about the "image bombing" were if you discussed it with your cohorts elsewhere..........
We reject out of hand membership applications using proxy's, so the fact that you are using a legitimate IP and email address doesn't make your intentions clear.
In your comments above, you failed to answer TWO of my questions:
Why did you post in the Religion thread (the answer is of interest, due to the fact that some of your pals were drawn to that thread as well......(an obscure, dead thread in a low traffic forum)........if nothing else, the fact that you even found it signals intent.
The final (and most important) question is what are your intentions here? I'm going to start from the assumption that you are a bored juvenile, and spell it out for you in detail......
Did you come here to learn about conservative politics?
Did you come here to discuss particular issues (if so what)?
Do you desire to form internet relationships with like-minded others?
The purpose of starting a welcome thread is to inform the membership of who you are, what your interests are, and what you hope to gain from participating in our discussions........thus far, we have little to go on.
It's up to you to provide that, and it is highly unlikely that we'll "put this to rest", until these simple issues are resolved.

Of course I was aware they were going to image bomb you. I wasn't part of it.
I honestly thought I did answer your questions. I enjoy discussing politics and religion. Rather that discuss them with a group who is all single minded and parrots each other, I try to find opposing views for more interesting discussions. The same as I did for a while at Political Forums, and most of my time there was spent in the religious section. That place was just too big so I backed out.
I am 57 years old, all but housebound from disease, and use the internet as my social life. I expect that while I am here I will come under some bashing and name calling, I also expect to occasionally have a decent and reasonable discussion from time to time. The latter is what I look forward to.
As for my position on politics I feel that in the US the people have not been represented by any politicians for a very long time. IMO they are all self serving knee jerk reactionaries. I have been watching the House raise one bill after another that they were full aware was not going to make it through the Senate. It is nothing more than expensive pandering.
It was with deep disgust that I watched TPA get extended. I think that act violates the constitution from the opening word to the closing word. It pains me to watch Americans willingly surrender rights for an illusion of safety. Once we allow a 'right' to be given and taken away it is no longer a right, but a privilege.
When it comes to religion I am not a Christian, or follower of any other dogma. This certainly doesn't mean that I have no morals or ethics as I hold myself to what I consider to be a very high set of standards. I also know the bible very well and am constantly confounded by so many who choose to hate in the name of a man who taught forgiveness and love.
This doesn't mean that I am not a spiritual person. When I see a sunrise come over a mountain range that is frost covered and glistening, this is my church. When I see a person who has nothing, but is willing to share it, this is my scripture.
Now, I am not a tree hugging hippie, in case you were thinking that. I just prefer nature.
I guess I still don't know if I have answered your questions. If I haven't, let me know and I will leave or you can ban me.
If you are still concerned that I am here to troll let me tell a story. I once signed up at mysticwicks as TheGrandInquisitor. Boy, I sure caught it for that username too. I worked through all the suspicion and, posing as a Christian, got a pagan board to start a forum for Abrahamic Paths. Then when I outed myself everybody got a good laugh out of it. I am still there using my real name.
So, now you know how I troll when I bother to troll. I have since retired.
If I wanted anything from this board other than discussion, it would be for some interaction between our boards. Although mine is very lightly moderated.
The decision is yours.
