**ElvisL1ves** has always been in the militant gun-control camp, but lately heā€™s become obsessed with my rebuttals in gun threads. I think he started out as a troll but is gradually descending into psychosis. **ANYWAY** any _other_ threads anyone wants to disparage? ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > Iā€™m smelling/sensing a lot of bitterness here, with this situationā€¦ It was a rough breakup. **Lumpy** wants the newish sofa, the dog, and the guns, but **Elvis** is keeping them, just for spite. ---

> [@Lumpy](#): > > ā€œHelp gun nuts describe their viewsā€ I agree that you donā€™t have to participate in that thread. However, itā€™s entirely legitimate to start a pit thread to mock a position or alleged nutbag. You donā€™t have to respond to our pointing and laughing, but I wouldnā€™t characterize your stance as either particularly dignified or the opposite. ---
