136. So that is your "purge" strategy? What do the Mods & Administrators think?

Apr 2013

Have you talked to them? How do they feel about purging DU members with whom you disagree? Are you privy to the discussions? Who is taking the lead? Is there a fallback position, say allowing gun politics to become a fixture in GD? Help us out, if you can. Thanx.

Indeed. n/t madamesilverspurs Apr 2013 #1

So no link? pipoman Apr 2013 #4
I was trying to be subtle, but forget that, sorry G_j Apr 2013 #5
I can see both sides of the issue.. pipoman Apr 2013 #21
My favorite is the line that we need to offer something in exchange for MattBaggins Apr 2013 #8
"Free murder Tuesdays" Robb Apr 2013 #11
+1 graham4anything Apr 2013 #52
Well, not negotiating pipoman Apr 2013 #25
If we want to tighten laws on speeding MattBaggins Apr 2013 #30
OK pipoman Apr 2013 #33

It only resulted in a solid majority voting for the bill. tridim Apr 2013 #151
My understanding is that pipoman Apr 2013 #188
Democrats need 60 votes to pass anything, Republicans only need 51. tridim Apr 2013 #190
Around here "NRA talking point" usually means "disagrees with me on gun control." hack89 Apr 2013 #6
Or perhaps it means "agrees with the NRA." Robb Apr 2013 #12
I hold many positions in opposition to the NRA hack89 Apr 2013 #13
I just think if someone calls you something Robb Apr 2013 #14
I didn't take the OP personally hack89 Apr 2013 #15
And you also hold many of positions in agreement with the NRA. DanTex Apr 2013 #28
Only two that I know of hack89 Apr 2013 #40
And you support Scalia's opinion on the second amendment. DanTex Apr 2013 #41
Lets see here hack89 Apr 2013 #45
NRA talking points are a set of lies that arise from NRA press releases or gun blogs, DanTex Apr 2013 #48
ok. hack89 Apr 2013 #59
add "gun safety" Duckhunter935 Apr 2013 #60
yes, "push polls" they're experts at push polls. Sunlei Apr 2013 #72
thats what to expect from the NRA who rose from hell- hand in hand with their KKK brothers. Sunlei Apr 2013 #67
No, Dan. You are trying to smear people. It's so very obvious Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #130
No it is a way to state a fact Progressive dog Apr 2013 #54
Yes, because it is completely impossible that the NRA is right about anything. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #31
Not impossible, but wholly irrelevant. Robb Apr 2013 #37
Where did I ever say differently? eqfan592 Apr 2013 #44
Nail on the head. nt Skip Intro Apr 2013 #23
It means disagrees with the Democratic Party BainsBane Apr 2013 #113
But there are pro-gun Dems who are not NRA supporters hack89 Apr 2013 #144
It certainly allows one to feel better by believing that... LanternWaste Apr 2013 #154
I know - that's why they use that phrase hack89 Apr 2013 #155
There are protected forums for many reasons. Robb Apr 2013 #163
That particular post I was replying to was spectacularly stupid. hack89 Apr 2013 #164
Why should we suffer for your inability to conduct yourself civilly? Robb Apr 2013 #170
We "suffer" from your incivility in RKBA all the time hack89 Apr 2013 #179
Do you hate all safe haven groups? Robb Apr 2013 #182
No - just bemused at the hypocrisy. That's all. hack89 Apr 2013 #186
A little hypocritical, aren't you? premium Apr 2013 #165
"Pretty supportive." You don't support the SOP of the group. Robb Apr 2013 #167
Really? premium Apr 2013 #168
Oh, good grief. Robb Apr 2013 #169
I'll ask you again, premium Apr 2013 #172
You admit you don't support the SOP. Robb Apr 2013 #173
Wow, you just compared me to a Klansman. premium Apr 2013 #174
Again, if you think you've been treated unfairly Robb Apr 2013 #175
No thanks, premium Apr 2013 #177
Except the point about defeating Obama. aikoaiko Apr 2013 #7
Here's one I've seen many times: Kingofalldems Apr 2013 #9
The funny thing is hack89 Apr 2013 #16
The gun show loophole.... Stretch714 Apr 2013 #17
So why are laws being proposed to close the Kingofalldems Apr 2013 #18
What I am saying is that it is not a loophole... Stretch714 Apr 2013 #19
Looks like semantics to me. Kingofalldems Apr 2013 #20
Yep.. pipoman Apr 2013 #22
"Big gun control"? Robb Apr 2013 #32
Yep.. pipoman Apr 2013 #34

Whatever. truebluegreen Apr 2013 #94
that one is a lost cause Skittles Apr 2013 #124
I gathered that... truebluegreen Apr 2013 #171
LOL. And they wonder why we call them "NRA talking points". DanTex Apr 2013 #42
I notice there is no link to a "talking point" amid the snark..hmm pipoman Apr 2013 #89
See above. Mike Bloomberg and his billions are the latest talking point. Ikonoklast Apr 2013 #153
aw, so perplexing is it? Skittles Apr 2013 #105
Such an adult, rational response. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #108
it's a waste of time Skittles Apr 2013 #116
Because EVERY word of post #22 is true.. pipoman Apr 2013 #122
why do you sound EXACTLY like eqfan592? Skittles Apr 2013 #127
LOL...That's what I thought..~snick~ pipoman Apr 2013 #128
HONEST? Skittles Apr 2013 #131
See ya.. pipoman Apr 2013 #133
Your anger & your hatred is probably turning off those "scores of rational" folks. Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #135
what part of, anger is entirely warranted G_j Apr 2013 #139

You have affixed the Scarket Letter "N." Therefore, have me purged. Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #156
And right on cue, Team NRA is here to argue that there actually is no loophole. DanTex Apr 2013 #29
I open this thread for the next most commonly heard morningfog Apr 2013 #87
Right On! G_j Apr 2013 #99
So that is your "purge" strategy? What do the Mods & Administrators think? Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #136
There is no secret strategy. morningfog Apr 2013 #146
How would this "change" look? Who would decide censorship? What are the criteria? Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #161
Lol, the censorship. It would look like enforcement morningfog Apr 2013 #166
So let's see some specific criteria (your other examples were adequate). Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #185
I still see no specifics. Proposed your doctrines to the Administrators. nt Eleanors38 May 2013 #191
Easy. NRA pimps and whores get hidden and/or banned. morningfog May 2013 #192
When it is by design it is not a loophole. aikoaiko Apr 2013 #43
Exactly Captain Stern Apr 2013 #180
It's as much of a loophole as .... oldhippie Apr 2013 #181

Huh?? eqfan592 Apr 2013 #35
Certainly everything they've said or done since the gun manufacturers took over. truebluegreen Apr 2013 #47
That is an equally irrational position to hold. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #49
Have you got a reading comprehension problem? truebluegreen Apr 2013 #50
No reading comprehension problem here. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #53

"Typical" indeed. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #106
I apologize G_j Apr 2013 #114

they pay people to post this crap, NRA, Tea Party they have minions paid by the post to disrupt. Sunlei Apr 2013 #55
Are you accusing DUers who disagree with you of being paid disrupters? NutmegYankee Apr 2013 #58
People are free to disagree and have different opinions. There are plenty of people in paid media Sunlei Apr 2013 #61
So that's a Yes? NutmegYankee Apr 2013 #69
what now? yes about what exactly? Sunlei Apr 2013 #81
That you are accusing DUers with an opposing position as paid disrupters. NutmegYankee Apr 2013 #91
You're stating this as a fact, premium Apr 2013 #63

What you say may very well be true, premium Apr 2013 #68

I'll haven't been here that long, so I don't know about the person last year, premium Apr 2013 #73

I don't 'dismiss' people I disagree with. Sunlei Apr 2013 #77
To the contrary, it would appear you just did (nt) eqfan592 Apr 2013 #78

Yes, everything he says is nonsense. baldguy Apr 2013 #96
Ahhh, the idiocy of absolutism. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #101
