In reply to the discussion: Woman shot, killed at Walmart in Idaho by two-year-old son [View all]Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)43. Why yes I have been blocked
for this post
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1262&pid=1458
because I agreed with this entirely true statement
Despite all of this to many here I am a dirty, scum sucking future murderer with dreams of shooting small children and cats.
I find this disappointing to say the least, and somewhat discouraging.

Notice how it did not say all are name any individual DU members.
No warning or request for clarification but since that are SO afraid of dialog in that "safe Haven' that some require.
I think I was able to post like 3 times before being blocked. All you have to do is look at the number of blocks in the two gun related groups to actually see how is scared

Now since that groups hosts have all disappeared and some people have been able to post opposing opinions and not be blocked, they are scrambling for replacement hosts. That is their right and it looks like the new host will continue blocking any views or opinions they do not like. He is even proud to call it "bansalot"
I am so glad we do not do that over here and even you with your opinions I disagree with are allowed to post and I am proud of that fact. By the way we are not safe haven lovers, we like discussion and are not afraid of opposing viewpoints.

What? The NRA argument of "you die anyway, what does it matter if it is a gun" is a fool's mantra.

Being blocked by a claque of wannabe Dantons and Robespierres is hardly shameful

"I was not even here." True, "Fred Sanders" wasn't. As for the real person behind the name?
