I've had it with this site. This guy yesterday made a post about the shooting saying something like "I thought this kind of stuff didn't happen in Texas." He then went on to make fun of what happened. I mark it for moderation, nothing is done.

Then I get modded for calling the guy an asshole.

Let me tell you something, when 9/11 happened they made it a point to give anyone who made fun of that "harsh moderation."

But when people make fun of what happened in Texas, nothing is done. Instead, you get a smart ass reply from a moderator who refuses to admit that they or the topic creator were wrong.

So fuck this place, this place is fucked up and after 16 years of coming here, I've finally had it.

That's not making fun of the incident. It's exploiting a tragedy to make a political point, but it's not a joke at the expense of the victims. You do understand the context, right?

It makes fun of Texas for supporting guns.

Also, I live 30 miles away from where that happened and personally know people who lost friends in that shooting.

Sounds like it's time for you to take a break from CE for a while.

No, it's not making fun of Texas. It's making fun of people who say that having more guns means that shootings can't happen. No where is it mocking Texans themselves. Regardless of if life was lost or not, the victims are not the ones being made fun of here. Again, it's gross politicization, but not what you described in the least.

Imagine getting mad at offensive things

If you get upset with what someone says why do you get to make the speech disappear? Does it erase it from your mind?

It's not making fun. It's pointing out the good guys with guns mentality and how it's ultimately flawed, even in this case when a good guy with a gun actually did help get the shooter away from the church. Whether the tone of the topic was appropriate or not is another issue, and considering how close you claim to be to the situation it's more than understandable why it may be taken that way, but it's a conversation that needs to be had, no matter how painful. There will never be a "right time." The time is now.
