Off topic (slightly) How to avoid...

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by krispos42 (a host of the Gun Control & RKBA group).

...being blocked from the group:

Of all the many DU members, our happy, if contentious, group blocks only 2 members.

This month will be the 3 year anniversary of the oldest blocking and it's been nearly 7 weeks since the second. Most everyone on both sides of the issue is respectful enough but just for information sake, here's an example of what not to do:

I think the worst troll was that girl from another country that was a total idiot when it come to facts about firearms and the 2A.

... is when someone makes a rare post down yonder and some wag opines; "Well, we sure aren't hearing anything from the gun nutz on that, they must know when they're wrong".

Either utterly unaware that any and all opposing point of view are not tolerated or being unintentionally humorous.

Forgot to mention that before you do Any auto servicing procedure, you should unload your gun, even if it is 50 miles away. I also have an idea as to how a pump shotgun might be used to safely siphon gasoline from your gas tank, but the firearm should be unloaded as well.

actually respect rights (unless abuses occur).

Meanwhile, those who demand their every dictate be followed without debate or dissent...

This is bit outside of the SoP of the Group, but for the record there are either two or three more people that were banned from this Group over the last 3 years, but I removed their name once they were nuked by MIRT or the Admins.
