"Ammosexual" is nothing short of Apt and Accurate.

Thank you for introducing me to my new favorite description of the NRA idiots. I will be using it ad nauseam (at least to wingnuts).

Bashing the occupation of a poster who is not in this thread.

Your obsession with the private lives of others is stalkerish.

Such abusive behavior should not be tolerated, especially in gun related forums.

Glad and kind of surprised the jury made the correct call. Wonder if the alerted will have the fortitude to come forward. I doubt it though but I have a feeling who it is.

I am now back to zero hides, I know that is driving him nuts. lol

Just because the person in question was permabanned from Kos and is currently "on vacation" from DU and Discussionist does not automatically make him a bad person and we should not state or even imply anything negative about him because of these characteristics. The problem might just as easily be that every other human being on the planet has a grudge against everything he says and that we are the offensive ones. And I'm sure you would have pointed out that possibility had you been the alerter.

Cyberstalker from Daily Kos.

Ammosexuals here at DU need to stop stalking folks all over the internet.

This is not Daily Kos.

Explanation: If cyberstalking is the issue here how do you know he's from DKos and why are you name-calling? Alerter, you should alert on yourself if that is how you feel.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling out the host (EM) of a safe haven group (GCRA) that this person (duckhunter) has long been blocked from (gun nuts not allowed), for something not even written by that host. Hosts aren't responsible for everything posted by other members. This arrogant gun nut needs to be reminded what website they are on, and they are not on ar15.com.

Intentionally rude, hurtful, inappropriate = hide.


I particularly like the last line that insults me in the body of the alert, pure work of art!

I wonder if this will make some tiny minds implode over whether to support them or insult them. We should invite them to start a group here at DU...

The only reason I know is they get a discount on the classes.

Most of the chapters are loosely organized and members tend to come and go as they get their permits/CCW license.

We had a previous, now banned, poster here on DU that insisted that the PP didn't really exist and were just a creation of the NRA, trying to cover their tracks. I'm pretty sure that's how all the control fans will treat them, "they don't really exist".

Of course, she also felt she could speak "authoritatively" on behalf all gays, black women, progressives and in general for all of North America from her Canadian perch on a Toronto bar stool. That's one of the reasons they finally got rid of her.

The "Ding, Dong the Witch is Dead" thread on DU2, that followed her banning, had over 450 posts the last time I saw it and not one post was sorry to see her go.

Tom Palmer, a gay libertarian, was walking to dinner with a co-worker in 1982 when he was told by a group of passing homophobes that he would be killed and nobody would ever find his body. Walking slowly away, and then running, Palmer was pursued by the gang for about a hundred feet until he turned to face them with the handgun his mother had given him. His aggressors retreated when they saw the gun, and Palmer was safe—the gun may very well have saved his life. Today, Palmer, now a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute, is fighting to tear down Washington DC’s prohibition against carrying handguns.
