Quit being offended. If we take "gun owners" to mean "people completely at random" (i.e. no prejudice) then what he said is true. Random people don't like CLIs.

- jamesbritt 17y ago"Quit being offended." Who was offended? Not me. I'm pointing out a false view of gun owners. If Peter had in fact said "people completely at random" or "but they're not geeks", that would haven fine. But emphasizing gun ownership as if it were particularly relevant (e.g., they are more likely than people completely at random to have trouble with the CLI) is bogus. Oh, and quit being touchy. :)
- petercooper 17y agoYou're right, but to be fair, James read my implication quite well. I was having a tiny dig at gun nuts - not from any realistic experience but mostly because I'm European and I'm culturally supposed to look at gun-toters with disdain ;-)
