14. There's not much point really.

In every gungeon debate there are two winners and two losers. The anti gunners win the emotional debate by feeding on their own sanctimony, and the pro gunners win the logical debate by confirming reality. That means the anti's lose the reality debate and the gunnies lose the sanctimony debate.

I am under no obligation to post in any thread at all. You posted the OP. You made an assertion, and it's your responsibility to support it. But you know you can't, so you don't. It's just a lot easier to post and run. Or maybe the objective is to "claim ground" on DU. You got a protected group you never use, you still post Google dumps here and now you're working on GD.

The entire process is fascinating to watch.
