23. Thank you for understanding. It was obvious to me that your thread wasn't pretending to be serious.

I guess it wasn't so obvious to a few others here, which led to the misunderstanding.

It seems that reading comprehension issues here on DU aren't limited to those folks unable to understand the words "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state..."

Blocking posters from this group should not be based solely on what they've posted in this group [View all] Electric Monk Mar 2013 OP

Wait a minute. All his posts here have argued with visiting Gungeoneers and a search shows this: freshwest Mar 2013 #1

I don't think so BainsBane Mar 2013 #2

No, and satire is his tool on other forums. It may not be a hard thread, but he's also argued with freshwest Mar 2013 #5

I'll make a simple analogy: If some guy kept posting scantily clad bikini pics in the Sports forum Electric Monk Mar 2013 #3

well . . . BainsBane Mar 2013 #8

That's already in the SOP but that hasn't stopped them from posting here so far, has it. Electric Monk Mar 2013 #11

DanTex's post is clearly satire. I think you misread my OP a bit. nt Electric Monk Mar 2013 #4

I edited, but why bring up that post? He's not pretending as OP states. Please cite another post. freshwest Mar 2013 #6

oh that one's easy BainsBane Mar 2013 #7

Electric Monk's OP should cite what he calls the problem: freshwest Mar 2013 #9

How would you suggest I edit it? I thought I was pretty clear. Electric Monk Mar 2013 #12

Just criticize satire. Don't infer there is any pretending, or that he's playing the group. freshwest Mar 2013 #15

Did you not see that big grey block in between where I quoted the group SOP? Electric Monk Mar 2013 #13

okay now I see the confusion BainsBane Mar 2013 #14

I'm using Firefox and saw the SOP. It didn't say no satire. I say his OP was not strictly helpful, freshwest Mar 2013 #16

Ok, I edited my OP with another link. Does that clear things up for you? Electric Monk Mar 2013 #17

I appreciate the edit and wish I could clear my posts that produced confusion. Sorry. freshwest Mar 2013 #18

Your oops is ok. I'd just leave it. I won't hold it against you. It's late. Good night :) Electric Monk Mar 2013 #19

Until we have a host BainsBane Mar 2013 #10

I don't see a problem with a little gun control humor Progressive dog Mar 2013 #21

I agree. DanTex Mar 2013 #22

Thank you for understanding. It was obvious to me that your thread wasn't pretending to be serious. Electric Monk Mar 2013 #23

Yes, I think we should operate based on someone's prior BainsBane Mar 2013 #24
