Cute.
But we both know no one, including me, said anything about "free exchange of ideas" not being allowed. And you have yet to answer my question.
You see, usually when a person joins a new forum, whether it be about politics, guns, video games, motorcycles, gardening, etc, they first start out by introducing themselves, reading posts, making some constructive comments, and just generally being a nice person. After a while when you rack up a post count and people know you, then you generally get more leeway when you say things that could be considered insulting. I could say right now Nick1911 is a moron when it comes to picking a CCW weapon and that Glocks are the only way to go. Granted he may debate this point with me, but I doubt that he would truly think I am being an ass for saying something that is obviously a joke.
But what if I said that in my first post ever here? Don't you see how being new and unknown to a forum can cause one's words to be taken differently than if one has been around a while?
There is a difference between a discussion and an argument. There is a difference between challenging and idea, and insulting someone. And to be blunt, so far your posts seem to be closer to insulting arguments than polite challenges and discussions. So back to what you said about "being allowed". No one is saying you're not "allowed" to post. But I have to ask, if you're doing everything you can to make the members of APS ignore and disregard your posts...why do you continue to post at all?
EDIT: you're voting history has nothing to do with your apparent pattern of disparaging comments. Example; I would say that MicroBalrog is one member I disagree with frequently. And some of his beliefs I would consider to be more in line with your own views or even Obama's than the rest of APS. But The difference is that MicroBalrog has been here a while, longer than me I think. AND, he doesn't voice his disagreement in a snide and insulting manner. You do. And you know that's what we are taking issue with. So please, don't play the "they're attacking me for my beliefs" card. Those types of emotional appeals don't work so well with the APS types.
