Does not even take an SOP violation to get blocked. They are afraid of any discussion at all.

The place is a cesspool.

I don't think I've been blocked but thats probably because I dropped in, took one look and ran like hell without ever posting.

But wouldn't surprise me. There's actually very little going on there.

I was blocked for a deleted post over there, one which I deleted myself and put over here where I originally intended it.

This is the part of their SOP that ElMo was referring to:

While there is no single solution to the tragic epidemic of gun violence, members agree that more guns are not the solution to gun violence, and are expected to be supportive of the policies of progressive gun control reform organizations.


Its kind of a big stretch on their part, since none of us were ever "members" to begin with, and never intended to be.

You can appeal to the GCRA Hosts to reverse your banning, but their process is entirely up to them, and doesn't fit the SoP of this Group.

Bear in mind that Electric Monk is one of the few people banned from this Group, so you might have a chore ahead of you.

Regards and good luck,
Krispos42, Group Host
