At times, discussions in this forum get very heated. There is no denying that we are all passionate about our beliefs. The very fact that we are able, as Americans, to voice these passions is part of what sets us apart as a Nation and People. However; sitting behind a keyboard doesn't afford an opportunity to really 'get to know' the individuals behind these passions. I would like an opportunity to restore some civility to our dialogue.

Therefore, I propose a 'Meet and Greet' of forum members. I realize some of use don't reside in The Shoals, so there IS that obstacle to overcome.

I'm open to suggestions.

Here's how we used to do it, in the days this place was FUN!
We held 'Meet and Greets' at a TVA park, where guns are not permissible. We set a time frame over several hours and had like a 'pot luck' dinner. Everyone brought a dish and we use to have the best times! We actually had about 50-70 people at the last one... you guy missed some great times, back then. Most of us are still Facebook friends and still see each other regularly. I met my best friend on these forums over 10 years ago. 

I'd love to meet some of you nutbags.

protip.. there are several "pitmasters".... BBQ Gurus, if you will, on these forums. If you can talk one into doing wings or ribs, you will be amazed!!!!

I can't imagine any sane person wanting to meet the liberals on here or have them know their names and where they live.  That would be an open invitation for all sorts of harassment from them.  I'm assuming you're a grown man and capable of making your own decisions...and if you're serious about it good luck to you.

I was mainly curious to see how much civility remained in our 'world'. I imagine it is an effort in futility. The gesture was made, however. Time to move on with other plans. 

Again...you're a grown man and free to do as you please.  I saw them attack Jack and call him a dope user....idiot...troll...among other things they call Conservatives posting here. I don't think there is much civility in anyone that does that. I...like most have to block them because they aren't capable of discussing civilly. But I'm really not here to argue with you. I'd just hate for some here to become targets in 'real life' for the liberals.

I've watched you call 'liberals' everything but human and here you are again. You can live your whole life in fear or you can find a compromise in life. Living in fear will never benefit you in any way, shape, form, or fashion.

For those of us that reside in/near The Shoals, I suggest Champy's in Muscle Shoals. The actual date is yet to be determined.

I actually tried to send you a private message with some details... .it's hard to communicate with someone who's not even willing to entertain a message. The rest is on you.... just so you know, I've never blocked anyone on these forums. I'm truly interested in how the other party thinks and not just spreading my preferred party's agenda. I wish more people were that way, but alas most are only concerned with furthering their chosen party's talking points.
