In light of Skinner's GD post on the proper interpretation of forum rules (
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... ) I was wondering if there was any desire in our small community (yes, this includes both the pro-RKBA advocates and gun control advocates) to sort of "clean up our act" when it comes to the language we use with one another.
As a pro-RKBA DUer it is my observation that we (the royal we) tend to bear the brunt of the name calling and motive attribution ("gun nut", "Republican/NRA shill", the penis thing). Folks on the other side may disagree strongly with my observation and feel the opposite is true in terms of the direction of the mud flinging.
Do we want to start alerting on each other when we cross the line? where is the line?
Guns in America is an issue that people are passionate about. People who post in the Gungeon are likely ten times more passionate than the average DUer (both sides).
I was going to start alerting on people when I saw what I perceived to be "over the line" posts, but then I figured, if the other folks who call this topic forum home don't care, or prefer things the way they are, why bother?
So, what do we want the Guns forum to look like?
