Anti-gun lobby displaying it's ignorance again.

That's because he did not start the thread, he was clearly not aiming at aus.electronics and was simply keeping the cross-posted thread going as originally posted.

Correct, but you've missed the entire point, massively. Most of us here on aus.electronics do not care about guns or chat about guns and have never had to put up with talk about guns on this group. It is only until "John-Melb" posted *two* *new* threads about guns to aus.electronics that I and others started to complain. I had no real problems with the OT "Stun gun" thread turning into gun talk, I simply ignored it, threads drift off-topic, that happens.

I was willing to let John-Melb's first deliberate aus.electronics OT gun post fly, but when he posted yet another new thread and started showing a trend of including aus.electronics as a cross post in *new* threads, that's when I complained - and rightly so. Remove aus.electronics from your cross-post list, please, we don't want this on our group.

Regards. Dave.

David, you can't reason with these kinds of people. Set up a proxy server and drop anything crossposted to any gun group, or politivcal group. Then you'll never see anything, no atter who posts it, or how often they change their nym.

You don't get it, I do, I don't care if he started the thread or used a thread already started, he used aus.electronics to launch an attack at gun ownership, as he done previously through rec.audio.opinion and aus.hi-fi.

You've made it clear, in your opinion and on "your" group, Wilson's rants are OK but John's replies are not.

I can't think of anything else you've got to say that I want to hear.

There is a big difference between starting a thread and simply responding to a cross-posted one that's already started and goes a bit OT. Shame you can't see that.

If Trevor *starts* threads like this on on aus.electronics then I'll give him the same serve, you can bet on that. He hasn't, so I have nothing against Trevor at all. In fact he's a very long standing member of this group, one of the highest (on-topic) posters.

That's ok, stay away from aus.electronics and you won't hear from me. That's the beauty of these seperate specific usenet groups which John-Melb sort to disrupt. This is what I'm defending, shame you don't think the same way.

Regards Dave.

I can see well what you're defending.

While Trevor's posting his rants about guns and gun owners, you can bet I won't be too far away.

How old are you? You sound like my kids did when they were 9 "She started it" "He was looking at me".

Trevor has posted useful stuff here, he is welcome (as long as he keeps his gun opinions where they belong. You and your mate john haven't so you're not (unless you have something relevant to electronic)

45 last birthday, Yep, he started it, and I'll be around until it's finished.

Bingo! I don't care what Trevor has to say about electronics, "as long as he keeps his gun opinions where they belong", unfortunately he hasn't, he's used aus.electronics to launch another tirade about guns and gun owners. Other posters seem to think that's OK, I don't. Other posters seem to think I and others shouldn't have right of reply on the same forum, I do.

Trevor launched his rant, my replies have demonstrated a) Trevor has a history of telling porkies on firearms related matters, when he gets spanked for doing so on gun related groups, he scurries away to other groups, hoping that no-one there will know enough about the subject to challenge him; and; b) anti-gun zealots like Trevor often have no idea what they're talking about on the subject of firearms, and simply rely on community fear and ignorance.

Like Tommy, while Trevor continues to use off topic groups to diseminate misleading information about guns and gun owners among the wider community, I wont be far away.

Like it or lump it, either way, I'm past caring

We're not in someone's house, the comments have been "broadcasted" if you like, on a public forum.

I understand that some of you believe Trevor has the right to post whatever lies he likes aboiut guns and gun owners on aus.electronics, like his claims about gun dealers using gunshows to avoid complying with GCA 68 and selling guns to criminals, and any contrary opinion has no right to be heard here, I don't agree with you.

This forum has been used to diseminate misleading assertions about guns and gun owners.

Because Trevors spreading his lies HERE!-

But it's OK for Trevor to spread his assertions on the subject here?

The same right's Trevor's got to spread his misinformation about US gun dealers, DGU's and the "psychopaths in the talk.politics.guns group"
