(12,751 posts)where our "pro gun progressives"* engage in some of the most egregious and despicable posting behaviors, including, but not limited to extreme personal attacks of the most base sort, yet when much milder versions of the same are dished out to them to that alert button flying they do go.
And you should see some of their alert messages (I've been forwarded quite a few from other DU'ers who have served on juries of my posts instigated by same): they range from the most self-pitying pathos of the "poor-picked-upon-us" variety, to absolute rage and cold fury.
Not one of those "pro gun progressives"** has ever once owned up to an alert on one my posts, even to the timid extent of saying "I want you to know I found your reply to me offensive, so I alerted on it," AND YET they are constantly complaining about "alert stalking" and demanding people who alert on their posts come forward and tell them why.
The OP is correct, though, as I said in my subject line I would substitute the word "cowards" for that other word.
