19. I think everyone is coming to see very quickly that you are exactly right - they simply will not

do the right thing and adhere to the SOP and keep their pro-NRA horseshit limited to the rest of DU. They simply think that there is not a single nook or cranny of DU that should be free of the right-wing bilge when it comes to guns; for crying out loud, the "professor" is holding court in this new forum offering to "negotiate" ( ) their limiting violating the SOP of the place if only the vast majority of the rest of DU will do X, Y, & Z for the Gungeoneers, including allowing the pro-NRA Gungeon Host, aka the "Ibid King," the right to transform the Gungeon into a "safe haven" for right-wing, pro-NRA gun obsessives, which is neither in the SOP of the GCRKBA group nor what the Gungeon was meant for when it was set up.

It's really some brazen stuff.

I never thought they would do the right thing - after all, very few of them would be posting at DU if they were being honest about their actual political beliefs - but just never imagined how arrogantly they would brazenly flip their metaphorical middle fingers at the SOP of this safe haven forum from the git-go. You are exactly right: the new Hosts are going to have to ban a bunch of them from the outset.
