25. As a RKBA enthusiast I would never alert or hide

on any post except the ones that are simply insults.

You have just as much right to express your opinion as I do.

When all someone has is insults, no substantive argument or information then to hell with them; {several folks here seem to be of the opinion that anyone who has, wants a gun or would use it in defense of property is morally contemptible, hell yes I'll hide that stupid shit}but someone who can make an argument based on facts and information instead of ad hominem should ALWAYS be allowed to say their piece, in ANY group or Forum.

I might (or might not) have a feeling that people who dislike, are scared of, or want to take firearms away are (insert insulting description here) but stating it I should expect that post to be hidden (Actually I don't; while I like and own guns and have zero problem with robbers, rapists and carjackers being dispatched like vermin, there damned well ARE places guns just shouldn't be and people who shouldn't have them, IMHO)
