Re: No Self Defense
Nuggin, tone it the hell down, or I will be forced to suspend you for 24 hours.
​
I really don't want to do that, and I can't guarantee that another admin won't do it anyway, but come on. I don't care how frustrated you get, the rule is:
​
Always treat other members with respect. Argue the position, not the person. Avoid abusive, harassing and invasive behavior. Avoid needling, hectoring and goading tactics.
​
Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach.
​
If you freak out, all it does is give your opponent to an excuse to avoid answeing your valid points.

I understand. But part of "treat other members with respect" has got to mean stop posting the same false statement over and over again.
​
No, that's a different rule :
​
Avoid any form of misrepresentation.

In this thread alone, I've had to say "We are not saying ban all guns" about 50 times.
​
Nator has, too. It's what we need to do, another 5000 times if need be.
​
Cooly.

Clearly saying it with a even tone does NOTHING to get the point across.
​
that's not true. I finally got through to Charred Wing on that point, did you notice?
​
Anyway, no more discussion about this here. Please behave.
