I was in several debates with teh anti-gun crowd over at The Tennessean.com and i guess they didn't like getting the light of truth shined in their faces over there. They started deleting my comments now.

The anti-gunners can call HCP holders every name in the book and sling some of the most agregious insults and not get repremanded. But let a pro-gun advocate present facts, logic, and truth, in a civil manner, or challenge teh anti's to cite sources of their BS rhetoric and they get their comments deleted.

I burned one anti-gun poster twice by challenging him to explain why empirical evidence totally contradicted his theory of "more guns = more crime". He enver offered an explaination.

It probably pissed the tennessean off that I was exposing their public to the fact that OC was legal in Tn and 43 other states.

Damn a man who would muddy the ideological waters with truth and logic. Don't you realize that if the Tennessean wanted you to have an opinion it would give you one?

I thought you knew that the Tennessean was just like the Communist Appeal...both are equally useless.

I had heard that. Just wanted to see how long it would take before they shut me down. I got about 3 weeks out of it before they started deleting my comments. My blogs are still there but no one will ever find them, the way they screwed with my profile page. When it opens, it appears that I haven't written anything. You have to hit the re-fresh button in the browser to get anything to show up.
