**Scumpup** must have had to suspend his campaign to fly back to Washington to take care of the Iraq nuclear deal. It’s they only explanation for his absence.

That’s not how this works! That’s not how any of this works!

You make the assertion, you provide the evidence.

It has nothing to do with laziness (except maybe on your part)–that’s how discourse works.

I was under the impression that every high school graduate knew that…OHHHHHHHH. Now it makes sense!

I tried to raise a few points and ask some questions of both sides in the Stupid Gun thread, but it’s pointless. No one reads anything except to look for a way to insult the other side.

I would say it’s the stupidest thread in the history of the SDMB, but I’ve been here long enough to remember [Wildest Bill](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=12320968)

I think ElvisL1ves is a delusional crazy who needs to accept that the King is never returning, in this world or the next.

Get over it man! We have Taylor Swift now, you don’t need Elvis anymore!

Alternate hypothesis: **ElvisL1ves** is actually Elvis Presley.

All those years of shooting [TVs](http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2008-11-16/news/10-things-elvis-presley_1_jesse-garon-presley-elvis-presley-elvis-crespo) and[cars](http://jalopnik.com/5859519/elvis-shot-this-car-because-of-a-girl)have left him feeling so guilty about his reckless behavior that now he campaigns tirelessly (on the internet) against firearms.

To be fair, there are folks like me who are ambivalent about gun control and read such threads to learn the arguments. And I can be persuaded: every time I read something by Scumpup, I’m swayed toward gun-control arguments, but that only lasts until I read something by ElvisLives and want nothing to do with gun control.

Hell, it’s not just gun control. I made the mistake of reading **ElvisL1ves** defense of the Patriots, and now I hate them. _Passionately._ And I’m not even 100% certain what sport they play.

There’s an old riddle about the slow horse race. Two dudes convinced they have the slowest horse in the world decide to have a slow horse race: whoever’s horse reaches the finish line last wins. Obvious problem is obvious: they make their horses walk slower and slower until finally they stop and glare at each other, then get off their horses (who happily start grazing) and yell at each other.

They continue like this for awhile until an old dude comes up and asks what’s the problem. They explain the problem to him. He says one sentence in exchange, and they immediately jump back on the horses and race to the finish line. What’d he say?

Anyway, maybe these guys are in a slow horse race.
