You live in San Francisco.

How that doesn't resonate with you is astonishing.

It's just a strawman designed to discredit the left. Doesn't resonate any more than similar but slightly tweaked stuff from right-wing nutters.

You are confusing shit talking and bullying. The posters you mentioned do not bully. They instigate and insult then proceed to get smacked around.

I don't think I said they bully, did I? (Looks at the post you quoted....) Ummm... nope.

I said there are frequent accusations of bullying directed at them so it's pretty fucking clear some people think bullying goes on around here. My position is that is a bad thing and anything that might increase the perception of bullying around here is also a bad thing. The point was based on them being accused; whether they are or not is irrelevant. Use your head for more than a hat rack FFS.

If there's one fucking thing I will ever get over about this place is the ease with which people mis-state what other people said in the very fucking posts they quoted.


@Liquid Smoke
See, that's gotten to. Please learn the difference. Mind you, you might be gotten to if you had a half dozen or more examples in just the last couple days of people quoting you and then unashamedly claiming you are saying something you didn't say.

Got any examples of them "frequently" being accused of "bullying"?

I wonder how JVS can bully when he brags about having over 100 posters on ignore. :D

Earlier ITT, and the last lounge thread, among others. You could start by looking in your own post history.

That would be more than correct.

Not to blow this up into a GC debate but the one place where I think gun owners on the whole should allow is... frankly people need to take a safety class say once every 5 years to purchase a firearm and the first one you take PRIOR to your first purchase should be more indepth.

Don't know how many times I've gone to a range or like a gravel pit to shoot and some 19 year old pulls up with his first ever firearm and proceeds to flag fucking EVERYONE and have zero trigger discipline.

It creates moments like this:


Timestamped for relevance.

One goal of mine is to save up to go to a Cris Costa class down the line but they don't need to be that in-depth or akin to Tim Kennedy's SheepDog response. Just like a 1 day class where they hammer in the fucking basics of not pointing the thing at a person and be mindful of your surroundings.

As to who teaches it? IDK, get like NRA instructors, guys like Costa Ludas, Sheepdog, and Sentinel Concepts as examples to buy into it with a flat rate or if they wanna charge more include grab bag shit like some electronic ear protection from like Impact and you'd be good to go there.

Have at it. Let's see, key word "Bullying", Member "HereticBD"....nope, no examples. Okay let's try "bully"...still nothing.

Hmm, it's almost like you're talking out of your ass, because you pathetically got triggered over people talking shit to your fellow tribesman...

It's an accurate description of the very-real policy disposition of many liberals, including the NIMBY folks in your city.

Reminds me of a tone-deaf, self-righteous post I saw (non-ironically) trending online last week by this rich kid who was bragging about how he's a black gay man and made it to an "elite NYC firm," how exceptional he is to join such an exclusive group, how much representation matters, and how now people can "rest easy knowing you've got a friend in the room who still remembers where he came from." Ended the post with a bunch of shitty woke hashtags.

What's he doing at that firm? Oh, he's just making $200,000 foreclosing on people's homes and raiding pensions. But I'm sure all those poor black families and LGBTQ persons losing their homes will be able to rest easy knowing the guy who made it happen is black, gay, and is apt to remember it.

No. They are regularly accused of shittalking and throwing around insults. Not really bullying.

The projection from you and your lot is so transparent it's surprising you continue to engage in it so faithfully after so long. Of course, you're well aware it's possible to phrase an accusation of bullying without using that specific word, right? I mean, you're not a total moron, right? And of course, you know I have no such affiliation with anyone here, because you're not a total moron, right? Yet at the same time, you have been whining for literally months now every time there's a mention of the report function. And at the same time people have been involved in backroom group chats where the decision was made to go after a particular poster, and you know that because you're not a moron, right? But you think I'm the triggered tribalist?

I commented solely on the suggestion there would be no harm in releasing the names of people who use the report button, and I provided a reason for my disagreement. Your response is to call me triggered and falsely accuse me of something that has nothing to do with my reply. It's a deliberate dodge to cover for how hard you are projecting your sad life onto me.

@Liquid Smoke Yet another example of gotten to, but with the shoe on the other foot. HTH.

The best idea I ever heard (imo) is the license idea. License and recertify like a driver's license, but also open up NFA items for the law abiding. Suppressors, SBRs, AOWs, the whole lot. That way we get better control, and also more toys to take to the range.

No, they are regularly accused of piling on, and of recruiting others to do likewise. Like every fucking day nearly. And I'm not even arguing whether that accusation is accurate or not because it's up to the mods to police that mean girls shit. My concern is the pleading for new and better ways to harass other users. Please try to stick to the point or stop replying.
