142. Other than the SOP which you otherwise, zealously enforce.

I'm still searching for the part that authorizes meta.

Or is that just you?

One might just come to the conclusion that this is yet another example of "rules for thee but not for me", which is so commonplace amongst more vocal "strict gun control" advocates.

As I said in another thread:

Scratch an anti-gunner, and routinely, you uncover a hypocrite willing ready and able to chastise the other side for doing X, while turning a blind eye to people from their own side of the issue doing that very same X.

Me, I'd say that goes double for the ones in positions of power or authority, even minor ones.

Yes, Then you. Apply "fox"style math. tradewinds Jan 2015 #1

It's about gun trolls on DU, so it's about discussing gun control reform in a supportive environment Electric Monk Jan 2015 #139
I somehow doubt you read the SOP that loosely for everyone. beevul Jan 2015 #140
If anything, its a bit meta, but GCRA doesn't have a hard and fast rule about meta threads Electric Monk Jan 2015 #141
