I was merely clarifying that the porn was not here from the beginning but the gun rule was. You are a late comer to DVD Talk in that regard so I was merely pointing it out. Further, this is not the first attempt to alter the gun rule, hence my comments about patience.

The wishes of very few people given the limited responses in favor of the change. As far as discussing the topic, you haven't been allowed to for almost ten years, why is it so important now (important enough to make repeated postings about it, unless padding your count was the true intention)?

Cow, compared to a few of you, I have very few posts and I've been here almost since Day One. As far as defending "someone else", it isn't about defending a single person or entity so much as defending various principles. If you find that offensive, by all means use the "ignore" button but just because I don't have tens of thousands of posts musing about my favorite videogame, complaining about whatever cause of the moment I pick up, or something else that is trivial, doesn't mean my logic is any less reasonable. Some people want very specific changes to the website, changes that I doubt are being demanded by more than a few people. Is asking why the sudden need to make said changes all that bothersome?

God Save The Queen! ;)

The original question was answered by X on behalf of mods and admins AND IB. A follow-up was posted with regard to IB input and an IB rep has since expressed his agreement. With regard to tangential issues, clarification has been provided along the lines "Shooting range questions are fine...."

It now seems appropriate to close this thread, particularly given the fact that it has moved on to become more about bashing people with alternative/unpopular opinions than discussing the original questions i.e. pretty much along the lines of so many of those selfsame "difficult"/"hot button" threads beloved of this board's moderators.
