Politics always turns me off. I run away from it and hang in my hammock every night.

When I first joined the forum I was surprised at how strictly moderated it is compared to most forums. I was a little nonplussed at first, BUT, it wasn't long before I realized that -likely due in part to this policy - this is by far the friendliest, most courteous and pleasant forum I've ever been part of.
I spend so much time on here not just because of the informative and entertaining posts, but also because it's just enjoyable to be around such a great group. I appreciate all the mods do to keep this site that way and I think that in context of HammockForums this decision makes a lot of sense. There are many other places to wax political, and I completely agree that keeping focus on our common interest(s) here is the way to go.
Thanks for a great forum - both the mods and the members!
Except for the WBBB, of course, with their penchant to go only either left or rightHammocks are not political.

I love HF because it is neutral. I'm sick of hearing about it all. I just want to talk about fun stuff.
I'm new to these forums but have 22 years active Army under me. Going to AFG in the spring and then retiring. I like these forums to get away from all the political crap and dissolve into the "Hammocking scene” If I wanted to rant politically, there are plenty of other sites that I could go to and type away. My .02 cents since this forum is someone else’s house and I'll be polite while I'm visiting.
Welcome, SandhillsSR!
Thank you for your... presence!

I second that "Thanks for your presence" and thanks for your service".
Good friend of mine just retired 22 yrs Army at Ft Lewis on 11 Dec 2010 and took a contractor job in Iraq and left the 15th. He is training Ugandian Soldiers for security detail in Iraq. Skype is a wonderful way to communicate when your in overseas now. All we had was "Mars Station" and that was pretty good for that time.
