Allow me to present an analogy. You are now the manager of a movie theater. You hear a commotion from one of the theaters showing a Dwayne Johnson action film. You listen for a minute, and discover that you have a group of people upset with one particular patron. The one patron is talking throughout the show, saying what a terrible actor the Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is, while the other people are yelling at him to stop so they can enjoy the show. This goes on, with this same talkative patron, show after show, talking through each one. Whom do you, as a movie theater manager, sanction? The talkative patron, or the people seated around him?

While I admit it is a loose analogy, I believe it establishes the point.

Unlike with a talkative movie patron, no one is forced to read my posts in order to read the posts made by others.

Indeed, those sensitive souls who find my posts so dreadfully annoying have the option to avoid even seeing them.

I'll flip it back at you, ala LR55...
What, then, would your solution be?

SH, I do appreciate what you say. We could discuss effective ways of promoting Constitutional rights if we were not focused on the trivia.

One of the premises of this thread was the amount of locked threads. It doesn't take a Master to see there is one common denominator in virtually all of the locked threads. I'm not asking for anyone to be banned. Just commenting on the subject.

Before I go back to my regularly scheduled programming of ignoring this subforum (feel free to change my vote), perhaps another subforum such as the "Pro 2A Rally Room" would be of value while keeping this subforum active for discussing such pressing topics as: The correlation between the length of the skid marks on each of the Founding Father's bloomies the fortnight before the signing of the Bill of Rights and how that might have effected their view of what constitutes a high capacity mag vs a standard capacity mag today.

Edit Add: bj, if you think everyone should listen to anything anyone has to say, can we lock you in a room, tie you to a chair and pin your eyes open Clockwork Orange style and play a 24 your feed of CNN/MSNBC on 100 monitors? I promise that your right to touch yourself when Mika comes on shall not be infringed.

LR1955 Wrote:Sorry NF:

You didn't 'flip it back on me'.

You refused to clearly state the problem and refused to offer a solution.

Not even by a stretch of the imagination is your analogy true.

A movie theater is a for profit enterprise where someone is paying for a service. The service is a movie and a patron has a right to be able to watch the movie without being bothered by people who are conducting themselves against the rules laid out by that theater.

Sorry, it won't work.

This is what I think Stans problem is and what people are so tired of here.

I'd hate to see Stan disappear altogether. He does bring a wealth of experience. When he is acting in the former he's an asset to the discussion. The problem is he to often falls into the latter category.

Enough is enough.
I'd suggest we let this thread serve as a warning to anyone who only wants to force their opinions onto other, not contributing to the betterment of the discussion. If they continue to act in the same manner beyond this point, they should be banned from the 2A sub forum.

StoneHendge Wrote:I certainly believe in free speech. Again, I am just commenting on the subject matter of this thread which is the amount of degenerated and locked threads.

I also believe in other freedoms. One of which is to choose not to go where one doesn't want to go, and for me that's Room 2A. Just like I don't go to parties or bars where I know I'm not going to have any fun based upon who will be there.

I do think I had the best solution - start up the 2A Rally Room below this sub forum - dedicated to positive strategizing and general commiserating about gun grabbers and libtards. And leave this one as is. It would be like turning to your friends and saying "this bar sucks. I don't like the music here. Lets go next door where we can have some fun." The only problem with that is that stanc would find himself alone in this room and figure out where everybody went........

My guess, however, is that the mods don't want to do anything that would hurt stanc's feelings. Which surprisingly don't seem to be hurt by the commentary in this thread. Which means that he really and truly is no different than a troll.
