boogaloo
Civil war. Does not only pertain to war with the government but also to political sides.
Me: I just got doxxed and fired. I'm sick of these pinko commies with their authoritarian social justice GARBAGE.

Friend: I just doxxed the guy who doxxed you. Let's get this boogaloo started.
Me: Cowabunga it is.

I like jimjamusers definition better.
NO POLITICAL REFERENCES ARE ALLOWED ON THE WEBSITE. USERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DIRECT COMMENTS TOWARD ANOTHER USER. DIRECT THEM TO THE TOPIC. VIOLATION OF THESE RULES CAN LEAD TO ACCOUNT TERMINATION AND BAN.

Passing judgement on what another poster knows or believes breaks the rules.

An interim great post about the ease of reading someone's post because of color and size are slammed dunked with and in your face with a no way. Instead of being cooperative and easy-going and nice. Its never gonna happen as this request has been asked for several years.

Referencing Boogaloo in a post is clearly Political and not allowed under the properly fonted and re-reminded most broken rule on the Forum. I never heard of the word either. I am shocked that the rules of the Forum are again not followed by certain posters.

That will do it for ANTIFA references, and a few others used often. Wondering why ANTIFA did not catch your attention ?

Boogaloo has been in the news (ptint version) for months (actually about a year). The coalition they represent has appeared at many gun rallies. They also support the spreading of conspiracy theories

If you read the beliefs, and they are scattered, you will find the same kind of "tear it down and rebuild it" in a few influential comments a few years ago.

Oh, and to your shock...I join you....the direct references to parties, movements, etc is stunning, and you referenced passing judgement on posters....another thing that goes on relative not only to posters but groups (skin colors,etc)

Sounds like this could turn Political. I'll leave breaking the rules to others.

Why would you be surprised. Having served for 26 years in the military, our soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen are just a cross section of the American public. They are no more noble or saintly than most.

Exactly, and law enforcement is also. Although, many Dept's now require college education or at least college courses pertinent the career. But, folks seem to think they can pay security guard wages for men and women that spend long hours on the road and must practically be experts in statute law. They want our officers to be social services, EMTs and lawyers all in one and pay them a pitiful wage for it. Now, they want to defund any tools that might make it a safer job for them, and even limit new hiring.
But, when you say they are no more noble or saintly than most, I have to disagree. These men and women, usually starting out as very young adults ARE "noble and saintly" for taking on a public service where many folks are saved and freedom is protected. They do so, knowing that they might forfeit their lives doing so. But, they do not hesitate. I have the greatest of respect for these people and am honored to have worked along with them for many years, both military and law enforcement. Public service is a thankless job. You can be a hero for 20 years, but make a mistake or have just one bad day and your mistake will dishonor all the good. Thank goodness that only happens to a very few.

Can you please stop reducing the font sizes in your posts? Sometimes they are ridiculously difficult to read! Pretty please?? The weird color combos don't exactly help either...

I've been wondering why posters reduce the text size too. Makes it difficult to read most of the time so I just skip it and go on to the next post.

Is it color? Or is it something else? Now people are getting all mean and judgmental toward people who are white and accuse them of "systemic racism." I bet you a dollar a lot of hands would go up behind computers reading this, if I asked if you went to see just WHAT "systemic racism" is. Most of us want to be good people. Most people are not haters of other races. Most of us who are older are trying to keep our hearts and minds open. Most of us consider all arguments. One of the worst things that can happen to humans is to think they know better than others what is right.

I haven't ever in my life heard of a Boogaloo. Has anyone else reading this? I know not one soul in my eighty years who would ever consider KKK people anything but criminals.

I worked with a guy nickname boogaloo, and a dance.

The colored font and small font is really annoying.

I don't bother using a different color anymore to highlight certain text that I'm quoting. I have found that because there are two versions of this TOTV site, one color is good for one of the versions but not good for the other version of the site. The quote boxes are a different color on each version so it is not a good idea to change text color in the quote box. By not changing the color of the text, the text in the quote box is readable in both versions of this forum.

Sorry for being a part of hijacking this thread. Now back to the original topic...............

Like right now, I'm posting in TOTV's default setting (I haven't done anything to it)...it's lowest. It shows up as '1' to me.

Here is when I make an effort to resize to '3.'

It is impossible to reduce below 1, so I believe it is a problem on TOTV's end when they screwed up my account and I had to make another one (ColdNoMore2).

And yes, I told them ahead of time what I was doing. :D

Once they got the original account (this one) squared away and blended both accounts...is when the text issue size seemed to come up. :shrug:
