What do you think you're accomplishing here? You are overly defensive. You're putting words in my mouth, attacking straw men, and just generally doing everything you can to try and protest the very simple claim that the word "gun" is unnecessary violent imagery in this context. I hope you aren't expecting to convince me that you're in the right with your behavior, especially when you aren't even addressing the core point I've repeated (that violent imagery is not appropriate in this context).

If you want to engage in bad rhetoric and repeatedly attack me over my comment, that's your choice. But to then claim I'm being overly defensive because I respond to your attacks, that's just nonsense. But you do make a good point, which is that I'm not required to respond to you. If you wish to have a reasoned discussion about names and violent imagery and what contexts it is and is not appropriate, I will be happy to talk. But if you continue to respond in the same vein as you have so far, then do not expect a response from me.

The fact that you believe I'm attacking you tells me all I need to know. I'm not protesting a single thing. You are. I'm telling you why people - myself included - do not agree with you. There is no violent imagery besides the one you want there to be.

It's ok though. Don't respond, this is obviously not going anywhere and we'll just agree to disagree. Cheers.
