Hoyt banned from the gungeon. So much for the impartiality of the group host.

71. See, there is where you and I differ.

Support of the second amendment does not equate to right-wing talking points. Likewise, if someone does something wrong, I do not ignore another fault by a seperate poster. I see them on their own merits. Do I acknowledge that there are potential trolls driven solely to antagonize those who wish to regulate certain aspects of gun ownership? Of course. But this is an internet message board, and that is to be expected.

Hoyt, though, routinely accused people, other DUers no less, of supporting murder, racism, and in some cases directly accosted DUers with the insinuation that they, themselves, were murderers waiting to happen. Did Hoyt actively contribute to the gun-control debate? Possibly, but his positive contributions were FAR outstripped by his solely negatively-derived statements and accusations.

I'm not saying that gun supporters are faultless. Far from it, but who is? Hoyt's contributions to this site, to my knowledge (as I didn't obviously see everything he wrote), were negligible at best and offensive at worst. Had Hoyt attempted such behavior in almost any other group, he would have been banned within a month.

The simple fact that our host here gave Hoyt such appreciable time within his stay here is a marked display of an attempt at civility and discourse, one which ultimately backfired and was required, by all rules of discussion, debate, and civil conversation, to be aborted.
