Hi Bob, perhaps so, but I really do think that a modicum of respect on both sides would help to elevate the discourse here beyond petty insults and allow the topics to be discussed without the unneeded noise
Hi BigElCat, I'll make a deal with ya right here right now;
If you or anyone else, right on up to the site management (Bob), can prove by IP numbers that I'm an "alter-ego of some other member" I will sign out of this board and never return. Is that your standard response to any new member who posts something you find uncomfortable, "He's new and I don't like what he says, so he MUST be a sock puppet"???? Tell ya what, why don't you do a search of the init4fun name and see exactly who I am? I've been a VK member since 2009 and an AK member for a couple of years and am a Moderator at AK as well. So, with that said, the challenge is on, I defy you to pin any other poster's "alter-ego" on me. I know it's MUCH easier to play "Kill the Messenger" VS taking an honest look at yourself and how the conversations here ALWAYS devolve into the same name calling nonsense, this board is after all a microcosm of what goes in in the real political world. To Hell with trying to reach common ground, tis way better to demonize the other side so that "our" side looks superior, is that really how you think politics should operate Mr. Cat?
There will be NO agreements on anything, gun violence included, until BOTH sides knock off the BS "us VS them" schoolyard mentality, recognize that a problem truly DOES exist with the current lack of respect between the two major political parties, and begin to actually focus on (in this case) why people keep getting shot dead en masse, rather than focusing on who can come up with the best insult for the other side
