Glutton for punishment, eh?
Sorry, but I just can't handle that place. Every time I've visited, I've felt my IQ being sucked into the keyboard by the vacuum at the other end. |

I find that we (gunnies/conservatives/libertarians) have a LOT in common with them. We have the same fears and mostly the same hopes. We just see it differently on HOW we accomplish our goals.
We want to do it correctly and they're all jacked up :). Seriously, I think someone has it out for me. I get deleted everytime I stick them with the truth. |

(Sigh) Look, I know you have fun, but all you really do is continue the stereotype of gun-rights supporters as knuckle-dragging baby-killers. I enjoy fvcking with their minds. Over 1600 posts and haven't been kicked off yet. |

The only reason they haven't booted you is because you started out real mellow, now have such a reputation and a high post count, and now they'd be accused of censorship if they booted you. IMO, you owe thanks to me and the tens of others that have been plinking away at that site for years. You don't really think the Justice forum was even the remotest pro-gun back then, did you? I, along with others helped them to come out of the closet. Not that I don't appreciate your comments as I find them informative. Still, don't piss on me as some knuckle dragging baby-killer. That's just plain uncalled for! |

Whoa there, cowboy! I'm sorry! I did not mean to say you [i]are[/i] a "knuckle-dragging baby-killer!" Honestly! My point was, because your posts were generally hostile, that's how [i]they[/i] dismiss you. That's why you get booted. You're hostile. Same reason DU'ers who post here get booted - they're hostile.
Please accept my apology for a poorly worded post. |

:) And generally I'm not hostile, well, only to CO who has the mods on speed dial. I've found that the last 3 bannings have been after I've told CO to stuff it. Bannings follow in about 5 minutes. What can I say? CO is just touchy. |

You just haven't figured out The Formula. I'm on my 4th incarnation, but have made it well past the "700 Club" - I won't say how far for fear of DU spies finding me out.
[peep] Here are the secrets to staying out of hot water at DU: 1. Never, EVER say Al Gore lost or that GWB won the election of 2000. That is the ultimate heresy, and a single "Get over it" comment will get you banned instantly. 2. Never insult anyone personally. Ad hominem attacks are allowed only against conservatives, Republicans, etc. If you disagree with a DUer on some issue, politely explain why you think you have a better idea. 3. Spread your time around among the forums. Discuss a variety of subjects. Do not post exclusively about guns or gun control. Post in the Lounge and be friendly. You can express conservative ideas on DU. You can even survive as a pro-gun person. kbaker has been doing it for a long time. Gun-related threads always get consigned to the "Gungeon" a.k.a. the Justice/Public Safety forum. |

I'm not too worried about getting banned (hey, I'm at 16 bans, it doesn't hurt anymore [kill] ). And I'm not out for a reputation or a high post count. That, IMNSHO, is but a shallow show of acceptance. I just wonder sometimes at the level of hypocrisy there. I thought the evil Repukes were the squelchers of free speech (?)
Besides, I have a friggin' TON of hotmail accounts! :D |

Yeah,
Ive gone 200+ posts, banned (still havent figured out why on this one, think It is because I posted that I thought Gore ran a crappy campaign) Ive gone 600ish Posts- Banned for calling a mod's wording as being hypocritical, doesnt matter that I was right and he was/is being a hypocrit. And I dont think Kbaker was 'mellow'and built up posts, he has been posting in about the same style for quite a while, way back since before he had 500 posts. And yeah CO will drop a dime on you in a heartbeat, and then go to the DU lounge and laugh about it. Kbaker, and a couple of others 'won' the J/PS folder a few months back. Was quite a fight. |

I believe that it does a lot of good.
Putting the zealots in their place keeps their efforts muddled on the net. Just imagine the activism they could be accomplishing if they were responding to every gun post in the entire forum. Besides, your approach is very centrist. You attempt to entangle the zealots in doubletalk but don't really convince a lot of them. I don't always agree with your methods or even your political stance at times. Still, it is effective for some. For others..... Sometimes you just need to fight fire with fire. [flame] |

Over on DU I'm "khbaker." I'm not in to "handles."
My voter registration card says "Democrat." When I moved to Arizona, my N.C. voter registration card said "Republican." I figured it was better to fvck with the Democratic primaries than the Republican ones (voted for Bill Bradley in the 2000 primary. I [i]knew[/i] he wasn't going to get it, and anything to make Gore's base look weak was a [i]good thing[/i], as Martha Stewart says.) Politically, I'm pretty much a libertarian (small "L".) (And "Martha Stewart can - lick - my - scrotum!" Sharon Osbourne) |

I thought politically I was until I woke up one day a few years ago. Didn't bother to change since up until a year ago open primaries were [i]constitutional[/i]. Why the stupid cal supreme court made it unconstitutional is beyond me. So switched to Repub. Politically I'm more of a libertarian (small L) and/or a Constitutionalist... |

It's really creepy how they love Al Gore. How could anybody like or admire that lying, phoney, charmless, humorless stiff? All the Democrat bigs have given up on Gore as a loser, but the DU lunatics act like he's Jesus Christ or something.

DU is definitely NOT a truly Democratic site such as ours. They want to get rid of ANY dissenting view. And how about those 'ALERT" buttons? Kinda reminds me of all the Vegans in that movie "PCU"...all ran around screaming "MeatEaters!" or some silly slogan that whips them into mass hysteria. Please Email me your DU screennames, I would like to go back and post to some of your topics...And yes, I will do so with tact. =) You will know mine when you see it. |

Perhaps both of you gentleman are missing the bigger picture. I submit that the tactics that you both use compliment each other nicely. Goet, as the "shock jock", enflames their sensibilities and gets them all worked up. KBaker then smoothly enters the discussion, presenting a (in their minds) a balanced, well-reasoned viewpoint, thus creating confusion in their ranks. Much like playing "Good Cop, Bad Cop."
I say Bravo! to you both. I couldn't put up with their inane drivel for more than two minutes. |

Oh btw KH, you should respond to one of the guys that (I can't recall correctly) but we shouldn't ban guns in the US because the US has a gun culture. Well according to an article on a book I read the other day about, it said Britain also used to have a gun culture up to around post-WW1...

You're thinking of the Causeheads. And yes, they are exactly like them. Edited to say: If you want the tye-dye version of the internet causeheads go to [url]hipforums.com[/url]. They are some entertaining shit, but they are far more accepting of outside opinions (actually, some of them are pretty cool, especially the old commune hippies). The DUers are kind of like Gollum, sitting in their cave stroking their "precious" (they're right, everybody else is wrong and evil, Gore won, Bush is a thief) and preaching to each other about how right they are and how they could save the world (reminds me of when Cartman said in a dream, "Ahhhh..... Hippies, they want to save the world, but all they do smoke pot and smell bad) if it weren't for the evil greedy conservatives. |

This is part of the US folk culture. Not so sure about pistols, but rifles and shotguns as a personal possesion go waaaay back in our culture.

Has anyone ever posted a SHTF scenario on democratic underground?
I just went through there and read about a dozen posts--not enough to get a good feel for their culture. Why doesn't one of you put up a SHTF scenario and see if they'll play along. You know; something like about urban rioters, or the collapse of civilazation. I'd like to see what those government supremecists think they'd do when big brother was suddenly MIA and not able to protect them. Of course, if someone does this, please post on here so we can all go watch the thread. -Nick Viejo. |

Their belief that George "stole" the election actually got a few of them to reconsider precisely what the Second Amendment was put in the Constitution for. But any other SHTF scenario is considered "paranoid." And defensive gun useage is considered "daft." And I quote. |
