What is the reply you want to see here? Almost looks like ban baiting.
It almost looks like people are trying to get minorities to do suicide by cop.
There's no rule @pelespirit@sh.itjust.works has broken by making you feel annoyed and the argument in the OP look stupid.
For clarification, I'm suggesting that pelespirit's comments are an attempt to get others to break the rules by encouraging them to describe some of the things guns can be used for so those users get the boot. Baiting them into a ban.
Oh, I didn't even consider that because if you manage to bait yourself into a ban in this comm based on something so unbelievably innocuous, you have actual interpersonal issues you need to work on.
Like if a response to basic interrogation of your premise is enough to get you banned here, that's 1000% on you; in this hypothetical, you didn't fall for "bait", you just have zero composure.
Banned for using big words!
I've been banned for linking to the wiki of the paradox of tolerance
That's quite intolerant. What was the context?
