I don't underestimate fear and anger *at all*- the author of that OP is perhaps unfamiliar with the following, written by the reactionary homophobe Robert Bork:

&quot N)o activity that society thinks is immoral is victimless.
Knowledge that an activity is taking place is a harm to those who find it profoundly immoral"

Apparently not enough people were equally shocked and outraged.

Maybe it will be reposted in GCRA

And is already getting stick about it being somewhat, well, ...factually-challenged:

Whaaahhhh!!!

........in the locked thread, FI.

In bold capital font on front of shirt: LIBERAL RUDE TOTER

Oooops. Except that I can't tote. I live in CA. (Just crazy about that 'Rude Toter' label though! Hits my silly-bone every time.)

It is my understanding that "Dine and Dash", while waving your hands in the air and/or clutching a string of fake pearls, is the official gun control approved method of dealing with spontaneous fear and loathing of Open or perceived Concealed Carry.

I believe you are also encouraged to make up false memes about how in danger you are, as you exit the restaurant.

To recover a forgotten purse. I guess when your stuff is involved you can hold off the terror and flee after recovering your property.

"I'll be insulted and indignant ... as soon as I have all my stuff."

Ah, situational ethics are soooo convenient when you can think of them as "deeply held principles".

But he's not doing much posting anywhere here.

He has 7 active hides here now, a hang over from the Skinner amnesty.

But he seems to be laying low for now.

I'd usually say; "maybe he learned his lesson", but not for that one.

Glad he "JUST WON'T TOLERATE THE INSOLENCE", or something.

Instead, he got a few polite "golf claps" from the usual suspects and some honest questions and criticisms that he couldn't answer.

Heck, we didn't even get to the "blatant ridicule" stage and he closed them all.

...anyone in disagreement with himself.

Though this one had a twist. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028096566

Rather than pacifically anti open carry this OP advocated the government use force against those who had the temerity to use their free speech. The thought seemed to be you can speak freely as long as everyone agrees with what you say.

Same as the other threads went, not everyone agreed. To some folks, apparently free speech means Free Speech.

One of our very rare banned posters.

Once again confirming the foresight of our fearless leader/moderator.

...it's not the one that's flagged with 15 hides nor the one who hasn't posted in a month so...

...oh yeah...him.

They sure seem to get offended easy enough though.
