Point 1: The DU folks are nuts, and should be arrested and prosecuted for any illegal acts.
Point 2: regarding conservative behavior to dissenting opinions. See "Dixie Chicks Boycott 2003".

Not the best example... Country music is a conservative dominated music genre. That was more them instigating more than anything, not conservative behavior going out of control. That would be like going to an NRA meeting and screaming all gun owners are dumb hick rednecks that murder people, you should have known better.
That wasn't conservative behavior out of control? Talk about rationalizing infantile behavior. I'm of the opinion that folks are responsible for their own actions, and the widespread boycott and destruction of albums can't be excused by "they instigated it". Sheesh.
As for staying on topic, I'm with you Jim. The behavior of a lot of these minority and special interest groups, is extremely unbecoming. I have a very hard time feeling sorry for anyone who behaves so childishly en-masse, even if they might have a point to their complaints.
If they can't get a grip, grow up, and create positive dialog, then I don't want to have anything to do with them.
Your point about respecting the right of anti-2A businesses is absolutely perfect and we really should be referencing this kind of analogy more often.
The next moron that hotlinks to DU gets a time out.
You hotlink to them, they follow it back, Then I have too deal with them.
I'm not a computer guy, so just asking. What does this mean? "You hotlink to them, they follow it back, Then I have too deal with them." Not trying to be a Dick, I really don't know.
