(67,219 posts)I gave an explicit definition of "fetish." I further indicated that, although I'm not calling you a gun fetishist (apparently one now requires an advanced degree before expressing an opinion on DU), I have stated that your posts are consistent with what I would identify as the ramblings of one who might be accurately described as a gun fetishist.
I state that it is obvious because it certainly seems so. Therefore, you either feel that I am wrong or that I am unusually perceptive. If the former, then I invite you to demonstrate my error (recalling that my assertion is that your remarks are consistent with those of a person I describe as a gun fetishist) or else explain why you think I can see what others cannot (recalling that personality assessments require documentation of an advanced degree, of course).
What degree, by the way, empowers you to diagnose someone as a "gun grabber?" Recall that you used the term before I used the term "gun fetishist," yet your pal called me out for my lack of an advanced degree in the oh-so-cleverly-named field of "telepsychiatry?" Why are you permitted to issue diagnoses, but not those who disagree with your explicitly declared fondness for lockstep GOP court rulings?
I didn't "run away," because it was about 1:00AM and I'd had enough of the standard guns-uber-alles drivel for the night. And it wasn't because you or your pal were mean but rather because you were (and remain) boring.
Don't mistake an unanswered post for an admission of defeat.
