22. No, it's true, you don't "owe" me anything.

However, I similarly owe you nothing.

Accordingly, you're not immune from ample criticism for any number of reasons, including your regular abuse the SOP of the forum, failure to engage in actual discussions or debates about firearm issues, the fact that the stories you post that actually involve the topics of the forum are usually little more than intellectually lazy and easily debunked editorials, cartoons and talking points (which is ironic as you and other complain about the infamous "NRA Talking Points&quot , and the fact that your behavior demonstrates a startling hypocrisy and obstinacy given that you're expressly aware of the purposes of these forums and need for debate as an actual hosts for GCRA, the other gun issue forum, where you and the other hosts tolerate absolutely no dissent and rule with an iron fist. Well, GC & RKBA is not GCRA.

Absent far more egregious conduct, I have absolutely no intention of alerting on your posts or ignoring you. I want anyone and everyone who comes to this forum to read your posts, my posts, and all others, and judge for themselves. The laziness, nastiness, and lack of persuasiveness by you and those like you is readily apparent, and I will simply add some obvious commentary. I would be insane to try to hide you, for you are the face of gun control in America, and America is clearly not impressed!

I support gun rights, among many other classically liberal and progressive values contained in our Bill of Rights and elsewhere, and people like you are doing my political job for me. I can sit back and watch Pew and Gallup continue to show increased support for gun rights while you tilt at windmills with your Google dumps and barely-active gun control echo chamber in GCRA.
