My gun toting ass hasn't been banned yet, Cubo got carded but isn't banned, Chesten is still around....

Maybe if some weren't so fucking off their rocker in expressing their opinions they wouldn't get banned and develop a persecution complex.

I don't get it. That guy has his views. You have yours. The platform should censor him, but not you? Spamming is one thing (and I can understand why you would want to remove spammers, although the "ignore" feature does work ), but I think all views should be welcome even if some posters want to label them (whatever)-ist.

This is obvious bad faith.

I have no idea why you think those two posts are unrelated. On the one hand you have endorsed the idea that major DNC officials do not favor particular candidates ("they are like the person at the office who puts gift cards together and organizes parties"), and on the other hand you seem to agree with an analysis that says "party elites" would take action to oppose Sanders if he got close to the nomination. Please explain.

What does the DNC have to do with any of this? Nothing. Or you're assuming your conclusion.

It is a common tactic for people with radical ideologies (particularly modern day white nationalists) to martyr themselves on the alter of free speech in order to gain sympathy from well meaning but short sighted moderates. The WN's hope to move public support into granting them access to platforms they would otherwise be denied, reaching larger audiences of potentially soft minds.
Now despite your idiosyncrasies, I'm sure you're smart enough to recognize this dynamic in action. The question is what do you get out of it by running interference? Do you support the message? Do you not mind being an enabler for it? Do you just feel like stirring the drink?

I stated my view frankly and honestly. I think that means your statement is wrong, right?

Ok. Who are the "party elites" you write of? Could you list five for clarity?

Thanks for spelling this out.

(1) So the horrible outcome that your preferred censorship seeks to prevent is..."soft minds" being exposed to ideas they can't process properly? That's exactly the justification that the Chinese government uses for its censorship. NB that doesn't mean it's incorrect.

(2) I wasn't "running interference". What is "the message"? If you're asking me if I agree with the vision of e.g., Jared Taylor or Richard Spencer, the answer is a hard "no". I think the free flow of bad ideas is good for us.

You mean moderation to remove views you don't like and leave views that you do like.

You're pretending to be confused about the nature of moderation being called for. It's not like anyone is calling for bans for people who advocate cuts to capital-gains taxes, or reductions in worker protections, or reduced immigration, or even people calling for monarchy. It's posts designed to disrupt discussions that should be banned, at least if you want good discussions to go on.

I want to TRY to get into competition stuff and I love 1911s and Glocks... problem... all the competition 1911s or 2011s out there cost like $6Gs.

Biggest reason I started looking at the 34.

As little as I've practiced in the past year I'm now a big fan of running 185grn bullets in my 45 (compguns) 1280fps. With Softish 9mm recoil.

Whatever you do don't ever shoot a real comp gun. You'll be forced to own one!

I got my last one for $1300.00 total, but that was starting from an already fit range officer, and even then I had to call in a lot of favors. It's only single-stack.

Honestly that 34 will prolly shoot as fast maybe, maybe faster if you're on that day. It won't feel as mechanically cool, prolly won't have a 2 & 3/4lb trigger, and will have less horsepower per shot, but it'll also hold more, and it'll be easier to get, won't require all that fitting n what not.

I got drunk and posted punctuation marks that could be taken as ethnic slurs.

I was making fun of someone’s conspiracy thinking, but I get the hard stance against ethnic slurs.

I figure if I do get it I still might send it to Taran because they also re do a bunch of the internal stuff and you can have them install a 2lb comp trigger and they lighten the slide even more and put in one of their barrels as well.

Everyone deserves at least one Gucci Glock/1911 right?

No pretending going on here. I think your "disruption" looks like a euphemism for "disagreement". You have already put over 80 posters on "ignore", last I checked. If that guy's posts disrupt or distract you so much, you can ignore him too.
