In reply to the discussion: What defines "reasonable restrictions"? [View all]TPaine7
(4,286 posts)70. Yes, abusive and irrational hysterics.
Would you like to stand up and spit those mealies out of your mouth and state clearly the name(s) of the poster(s) who you allege engaged in abusive and irrational hysterics in that thread?

"Abusive" indicates a violation of the rules of the website. If your characterization is accurate, why were the posts in question not deleted? Obviously you reported such a violation.
"Abusive" indicates no such thing. Consult any dictionary you please. Cite just one definition that refers to DU rules. Sophist.
And no, obviously I wouldn't have reported a violation. I don't report violations, as I've told you many times. I am quite pleased that your drivel is still there; I don't want it deleted.
Irrational? Hm, was(were) the poster(s) in question a woman (women)?
I'd think so, becuase{sic} "hysterics", as we all know, refers to a weakness of women.
I don't know for sure, iverglas. Are you a woman? This is the internet. You tell me.
As for your "hysterics" whining, what's your point? Are you saying that no women are hysterical? Are you saying that it's wrong to accuse a woman of being hysterical because it's automatically sexist, even if it is true? Yes, I understand the background of the word "hysterical" but isn't this a new low for you? Just because the term has been misused doesn't mean it can't be properly used. In my world, at least, truth is an absolute defense. (I understand that to you, truth is an absolute offense, but I can't help that.)
You were hysterical and irrational. You carefully avoided the historical facts and dodged the real points. You threw dirt in the air and distracted from the facts in the case. It's there for all to see. (Which is one reason why I never report your posts.)
What a spectacle.
Yes you are.

It is when the taxes act to limit availability. And there are already taxes on guns and ammo.
