In reply to the discussion: Caution fellow Pro2A DUers. The Hide forces are organized. Anything goes... [View all]Shamash
(597 posts)77. How could we possibly get something like that hidden?
I mean, you've defined a "fucking gun troll" in a way that makes them people who are in clear violation of DU's terms of service and should be banned:
Someone who keeps on getting banned and re-registering just to talk about guns? Yep, that's a troll.
Calling these people out would be a public service and the site admins would surely be on your side.
And the context of your other statements makes it clear that you identified more than one person of that type.
Just think of what it would do to your sterling reputation to make an accusation like that and not follow through with evidence to support it. Besides, you owe it to the DU community to immediately provide proof of this gross misconduct to the admins so that they can take strong action against malicious, unprincipled types who are clueless as to what being a liberal is all about.
I for one most sincerely hope that they do.

I, too, noticed that. Not a poster in this group, but saw this in Latest Threads.

Incorrect. The request was to clean house of the gun trolls, instead of banning them piecemeal.

Works for me. Now list the DU members in that topic who meet that qualification.

So you can hide my post with a jury? I'm not going to fall for that. You know I'm right, though. nt

In other words, you have no problem at all making allegations knowing you can not back them up.

No I am not saying you can buy "machine guns" at Texas gun shows, I said "go to Texas 'gun shows'"..
