[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2268116, member: 8377"] Why is it; even after repeated explanations as to what the op has posted, do some members continue to bleat on about how offended they are? I speculated earlier about the masochistic desire to feel slighted in some way, and was shown the error of my thinking by another member. I had put too much emphasis on the wrong syllable as it were, and i appreciated the learning. Why is it, pointing out that being "in your face" about issues important to us may be detrimental to our cause? Is it really that hard to understand that if your going to act like an ass, especially when the goal is to form a solidarity, is probably counter productive. Some of our members have taken a particular dislike to calling those people who are as quoted above, retards. They continue to do this, despite a plain explanation of how and why these "retards", are a problem. I have to conclude that the members who are so upset at this are the types to be " in your face"; to the detriment of the cause, and see no problem with doing so. their problem is some body calling them out on it without reservation. It probably doesn't help that the op is decidedly impolitic himself, which must seem like some kind of betrayal by a kindred soul. I appreciate the input so far in this thread, and I hope the discussion continues. It is obvious we want the same thing, but have different opinions as to the methods required to accomplish our goal. For myself, deciding how to carry any weapon is based on my interpretation of the possible threat, not based on a political statement. When carrying a pistol/knife the majority of the time i carry concealed. If I am in a vehicle I go unconcealed so there is less of a hassle deploying a weapon, and the chance of my weapon being seen is slim. [/QUOTE]
