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

160. I for one have mixed feelings.

The only element of substance I can recall from his input is that whether or not you own a gun is fine but leave it at home. I and others asked countless times from some idea of what laws ought to be passed with no memorable answers. On several occasions I remember insults fitting the description of those recounted in this thread. His comments were frequently unacceptable.

Having said that I don't know if I would have banned him had it been my decision. In one post he left a copy of the Stevens dissent from the Heller case, which maybe because of the topic or something Hoyt said or some peripheral issue, I happened to read with a bit more enlightenment than I had before. I thanked him for his comment.

For the most part I think of both those here on both sides of the discussion as necessary and useful.

I'm grateful we have a host to make these decisions. I'm not partial to the MD arguments.

If his time here is to have meaning, I suggest that anyone who cares to should evaluate what's happened, so they can apply what there is to be learned. I learn here all the time, from those on both sides.
