The hijacking of the word "extremists" as it relates to supporters of gun rights.

[beevul]

34. You're right, sometimes, I DO use inflamatory rhetoric.

Generally, not out of the blue or unprovoked, however, I wont sit here and claim I'm innocent. Then again, my rhetoric pales in comparison to another regular poster on your side of the issue, and so does everyone elses...

That poster is in a catagory by him/her self. Much like iverglas and mrbenchley before her, were.

But nobody in this forum is innocent. Not a single one of them. On either side.

The "t" word?

Not sure I follow you. Oh, toter? If thats what you mean, fair enough, however that word never bothered me much by itself.


Anyway...

Farther down this thread, this implication is made:

"And therein lies the extremism of the pro-gunners -- not just this OP, but I'd say about half of the pro-gun regulars. Gun extremists are people with absolutely no tolerance for any kind of gun control..."

Sure, those words are't specifically used, but the implication is clear as day - half of the regulars are "gun extremists".

In spite of the fact that not a single one of the regulars espouses anything resembling "no tolerance for any kind of gun control".

Not a single one.

Your thoughts on that?

On edit: Sometimes i'm a nice guy, and sometimes I'm an outright asshole: I'm human.

Likewise, no hard feelings.
