Another thank you to the wonderful people here. [View all]

I have just been banned from a thread elsewhere on DU, and had a post hidden, both of which I consider unjustified. So the reason I'm posting here is to once again thank the genuinely wonderful people who hang out in this group. Those of you who recognize my name know that I frequently express the opinion that guns should be confiscated.

I am NOT here to promote that notion right now, but to express my sincere appreciation that even when I says stuff like that, I always get plenty of push back from the posters here, and I've only had the odd post hidden -- and not very many o9f them -- and never been banned from here.

You guys and gals are fabulous. We certainly have a fundamental difference of opinion, but you serve as a shining example of tolerating differences of opinions. Unlike some people here on DU.

Wish I could buy each and every one of you a beer, or a martini, or a coke, whatever you'd want.

RKBA is the epitome of tolerance, and the shining example of what DU could be. ileus Mar 2016 #4

If we can't tolerate and accept differing views, we're no different than the right-wingers. Decoy of Fenris Mar 2016 #5
