You think your comments are making rational data-backed points and are only being down voted by libertarians?

I am anti gun, pro gun control. I down voted your comment because it added no value to the discussion, it was purely inflammatory, and certainly had no data to support it.

You may wish to re-read your posts in this thread.

Let's just be clear: when I call gun ownership "weird", it's "purely inflammatory", but when you do, it totally adds value to the discussion.

I invite you to reread this thread and determine who derailed an enlightening discussion regarding the psychology of US gun ownership and police militarization with ad hominmen and completely off-topic attacks on another's commenting style.

I just did and it appears to be you. You are making 2 kinds of comments in this thread: 1) inflammatory comments that appear to be deliberately written to cause a derailing flamewar, and 2) comments accusing everyone else of making inflammatory comments written to cause a derailing flamewar.
