post here on DU under false or deceptive pretenses because they feel that there should not be one place on the face of the internet that is not soaked with the right-wing, pro-NRA view regarding their precious popguns, but there can't even be a sub-forum on a progressive discussion board relatively free of that same right-wing, pro-NRA view: it is literally in your face, bub.
I agree with a lot of other posters that group hosts, when we have them, should tread lightly on locking OP's, and that for offensive OP's we should rely more on the jury system. But mark my words: I know this crowd, and have been dealing with them for years on Democratic Underground. They will do everything in their power to turn this place into "Gungeon 2," because they simply don't care about SOP's, TOS's, rules, none of that stuff, or they wouldn't be posting on Democratic Underground in the first place.
What they believe in is their dubious cause, everything else - from discussion board rules on a Democratic website to dead kids at Sandy Hook and everything in between - be damned.
So, I guess that was just a long-winded way of saying I agree with you 100%: we need hosts!
do the right thing and adhere to the SOP and keep their pro-NRA horseshit limited to the rest of DU. They simply think that there is not a single nook or cranny of DU that should be free of the right-wing bilge when it comes to guns; for crying out loud, the "professor" is holding court in this new forum offering to "negotiate" ( 
) their limiting violating the SOP of the place if only the vast majority of the rest of DU will do X, Y, & Z for the Gungeoneers, including allowing the pro-NRA Gungeon Host, aka the "Ibid King," the right to transform the Gungeon into a "safe haven" for right-wing, pro-NRA gun obsessives, which is neither in the SOP of the GCRKBA group nor what the Gungeon was meant for when it was set up.
It's really some brazen stuff.
I never thought they would do the right thing - after all, very few of them would be posting at DU if they were being honest about their actual political beliefs - but just never imagined how arrogantly they would brazenly flip their metaphorical middle fingers at the SOP of this safe haven forum from the git-go. You are exactly right: the new Hosts are going to have to ban a bunch of them from the outset.
that has turned the Gungeon into a gun lobby playpen, and they are making no bones about it.
I hope we get Hosts soon.
