4. I'm almost 80 and I am surprised you "didn't really object " but needed to pre-emptively offer a "fuck you" ...

... to anyone who might disagree with you about something you really didn't really object about. I didn't lecture you, I was trying to point out that nobody in DU would ever call you a snowflake or give you a pre-emptive fuck you on DU. My effort was to disabuse you of the mindset that anyone here would belittle you in the way you assume we would.

For your edification, I refer you to the "alert" button.

"No personal attacks or flaming
Why we have this rule: Civility begets quality discussions. Democratic Underground members are highly passionate about politics which means discussions can get heated -- but they don't need to get nasty. There's no reason why a community of intelligent adults who agree on a majority of political issues can't have a conversation without insulting each other or resorting to other anti-social behaviors.

The Rule:
Do not personally attack, insult, flame, threaten, bully, harass, stalk, negatively call-out, ascribe ugly ulterior motives to, or make baseless claims about any member of this community. Do not post in a manner that is hostile, abusive, or aggressive toward any member of this community."

Not accusing you of anything. But you might reconsider a "FU" reaction from something you honestly believe. We disagree a lot here. I agree with the artist's statement on "American" attitudes to weapons. We largely as a nation have made firearms an everyday fashion accessory, taken from defense to first response. You disagree. Welcome to DU!
