I have a suggestion for EVERYONE not just one side or the other. Either take this to the topic or just let the subject go, because as far as I can see the thread is now becoming discussion of various members, not the gun laws.

NOBODY should be baiting or namecalling on either side. And claiming or implying mods are 'selective' or playing favorites doesn't help either.

Just so we're clear, I'm not taking sides on this issue. When mods post about an infraction, they are not taking sides, their responding to what they've seen or been asked to look at.

Please remember, we aren't here 24/7 and none of us is able to read every post of every thread every day. If we miss something that someone feels needs attention, they need to report it. Otherwise it isn't guranteed it will be seen. That doesn't mean your view of what's wrong will mesh with the mod's view but if he/she hasn't seen the item in question, they can't decide.


Again, please refrain from discussing other members as if they aren't even here. One thing that most of you seem to remember fondly about serious threads here was that people RESPECTED one another and had serious dialogs without namecalling and flaming or baiting. Why not try and do that again? It could work. But only if everyone wants to make it work. Don't take bait if it's laid out and keep in mind that if everyone waits for the other guy to change first, it's gonna be a long wait.

I KNOW we've had good, long, serious debates on IW. That's not the issue. Whether all the current participants can let baggage go and continue to have those good, RESPECTFUL, if discussions with different viewpoints, waits to be seen.
