That
was stupid, if well intended. The idea's been kicking around for a long time that most people don't realize how many normal people carry guns every day because we all carry concealed, so open carry is intended to demonstrate that we're just the same as everyone else. Of course people took it too far, toting around long guns they would never carry concealed to drive home the point, and it ended up backfiring.
Activism can be extremely obnoxious and result in the opposite effect of what was aimed for.

Oh, you thought that was aimed at you? I was just making an off hand observation in your general vicinity, just like you snarking about gun people in this thread where I'm the OP. I suppose we should be more careful with that sort of thing.
What did you expect to happen when you start a thread about activism being obnoxious but to have the spotlight pointed onto a group you may be aligned with? My first post here was deriding activism in general. Maybe if you can't take criticism, you shouldn't start threads called "Everyone Hates Feminists". This thread
is about activism, right? Not just about people hating feminists? As for that troll comment: you mad?
