I went back to have a look at what I’d got the “no insulting only-Doper groups” idea from (I remembered that it was a conversation between CK and Shodan), but I didn’t remember which was the specific cite Shodan had used to make his point.
Shodan, the example you cite is not the same ballpark. We’re talking about a large group that INCLUDES posters (such as the Democratic party.) You’ve cited an example of a group of ONLY posters, that includes no one else. That’s pretty much apples and oranges. The instance that you cite, the insult is directed at a group of posters, not at a group that happens to include some posters. I’m talking about insulting a large group (in this particular instance, those who favor gun control.) You’re citing back at me an example of insulting posters whose name starts with R.

PrettyVacant:
Some of you folks need a mental readjustment cos you’re just not right in the head.
Limit your comments to specific remarks by other posters. Do not hurl insults at other posters–not even vague and undifferentiated insults.
