DU GD is still gungeon. Gonna take a break here.

Guns, guns, guns.

I care, but I am sick of all the chair throwing about things reasonable people can both disagree and rationally discuss. Apparently, from the evidence of the last few days, I am wrong.

The DU community is, on some topics, unable to have reasoned discussion.

My bandwidth is near max and it just isn't worth the cost to return here to see the Gungeon mayhem raised to GD yet again.

We all know where we stand. We will all take the action for which we stand. Now is the time for action, not DU chair throwing. Do what you see is necessary -- as will I.

But I do not have bandwidth this month only to throw more chairs. That isn't my DU. I hope it isn't yours either.

See you all next year, when my bandwidth resets. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to you all. I will miss you dearly the next couple of weeks. But, it isn't worth the cost to ignore all the gun threads. I think we've seen all too many of them already this past few days. Bless you all.

Nota bene: I will likely not come back to respond too many times before New Years. But I would gladly like to see others support this thread. If you want to throw chairs, I will ignore it.

Thanks.

We have so many other things going on.

I want health care, equity, campaign reform...

I believe my trashed thread count passed 500 today.

This will be the newest, for a little while.

6. I agree. That's why I am going buh-bye for a couple of weeks.

That, and the now ignored, poster #3.
Which is precisely what my OP was about. Apparently some people still do not understand what DU is about. They actually believe that DU is about battling other Democrats.

7. Burying our heads in the sand against the gunocracy is not working. The gun cult

is long used to weakness and capitulation from the majority of society that has always preferred sanity and strict regulation. No more.

All those dead tiny children . . . .

So very sorry to hear about your bandwidth.

Oh yeah, and fuck the right-wing/gun-lobbyist NRA, and their apologists.
