the number of posts saying "this in no way is a defense of Zimmerman" is astounding

You can let it all out there.

And wear your transparency page with pride, if you get up to five.


Some of us hoped that the little-publicized administration policy of reserving the Guns forum (and another that one might mention) for our right-wing lodgers might change with the new DU -- that ordinary DUers might take a look at the dark corner of this place that they had avoided for all these years (ew, it's the gungeon, let me out!) and say: this is our DU now and this is not what we want it to look like.

Sadly, too many are still saying "it's the gungeon, they're all as bad as each other, let them have at it and I don't care".

And you're right; the number of sarcastic posts by non-right-wing Guns forum regulars that have been alerted on as "calling for people to be killed!", for example, show that the gaming is getting more refined. And the number of jurors willing to be deceived by such nonsense -- sometimes obviously at least in part because they actually do expect to see such things in that forum! -- is disappointing.
