From the Ceasefire PA homepage comes this quote:

CEASEFIRE PA CONTINUES TO GROW, HIRING NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO HELP DIRECT STATEWIDE CAMPAIGN FOR STRONGER HANDGUN LAWS

Well, it turns out that a certain Alexander Tristan Riley (otherwise known as “ATR” and “Culturologist”) is now on the Board of Directors for the Ceasefire organization. For those new to the Second Amendment/firearm rights/self defense debates, this probably means next to nothing to you, but the good news is that Thirdpower has assembled a primer of his past comments and thoughts. Interestingly enough, though, Alexander has gone to tremendous efforts to delete his comments and thoughts from the internet, taking down his own weblog, and even purging Google archives and the WayBack Machine. Why would he want to do this? Well, I would wager to guess that he does not want the organization he is now working for to realize that he seems like such a cowardly, spineless, factless, bigoted, racist, homophobic, hoplophobic, anti-rights, anti-Constitution rabble-rouser, intent only upon spreading his own form of hate and discontent, regardless of whether the facts or reality of the situation support his argument. Of course, that kind of person could fit in perfectly with the Ceasefire organization, but that is just speculation on my part.
Unfortunately, though, it does not appear as though Alexander can control himself. Instead of letting go of the past and moving on into the future, it appears as though Alexander Riley might be continuing his old habits, now under the moniker of NRAFOUREVER. As Robb himself admits, the evidence is tenuous at best, and you have to take him at his word for a fair bit of it, but the numbers are there for anyone to see, and coincidences are sometimes too coincidental.
It is, after a fashion, somewhat amusing that Alexander would go through annoyance of deleting all of his old weblogs and comments (insofar as he could – those comments he left on pro-rights weblogs are still there for the world to see), only to turn around and start doing it all over again… But I guess irrational people will simply continue to be irrational. Either way, news Alexander’s past history and present activities should be spread far and wide, so Ceasefire PA and its members can understand fully the monster they just placed on their board of directors… Talk about a public affairs disaster in the waiting, and given his continuing comments and absurdities, it is just starting.
