Why did I come to the forum. I enjoyed reading the experiences of others on crlv and in particular the legacy YARC individuals that ran against the grain and stood firm in their beliefs. Gunny, HDR, American Patriot. Not that I shared their view or agreed with everything they stood for. But I wrote a cheque pledging my life to protect their right to say it. So for me it was refreshing.
Then it got a little old as the stay on topic bogged down the creativity and this site version 1.7 was born. I enjoyed reading the exchanges and the debates. We formed a community and I shared what I could. In my style of tall tail or too tall to be fiction.
Considering what is going on in the world with twitter, Facebook, Instagram and the like being blocked by “elected” types it’s important to have a space to call home to find out someone you know, by reading or sharing a campfire, opinion. It doesn’t have to be truth it doesn’t have to be 100% facts and just the facts. It’s just a regular person you knows view from his drivers seat. I think this is super important. Perspective. Or in the case of my contributions a story to ease the night into tomorrow or some different perspective to think about.
It’s also nice to have a second set of eyes and ears to run a build idea past to have some input and not just: “use four gauge wire here’s my affiliate link”. Some crazy social fun, experiments, or whatever whim happens to cross the weird overlords mind over coffee is also good as it breaks up the seriousness of life and makes us remember that even a 56, some younger, others older, we are still the people that would jump the first bus to never-never land. At least in spirit. That child like engagement with life makes us special and as he is fond of saying YARC’d lol.
