Regular readers should be wholly aware of Brady Campaign Board Member and general-purpose "gun control" extremist, Joan Peterson, and her particular inability to craft or identify logical arguments, but do you remember that Joan’s flagrant, whimsical, and ineffective attempts to censor conversations at her site were the reason Sean Sorrentino started weblogging? Patrick did, which allowed him to make this priceless comment regarding how Sean is helping improve the media’s perspective on firearm owners:
And just think, Japete is Sean’s blog mother… LOL.
As I have said before in various places, Joan (or "japete", as she is known on her site) may just be one of the best things that has happened to pro-rights activists in recent history; however, while that point is certainly available for contention, I think everyone can agree that she is unquestionably her own worst enemy. Her logical fallacies, inability to live up to her own promises, blood-dancing, heavy-handed "moderation", belief that some lives are more valuable than others, lies, and double-standards have done more to alienate people from her and her cause than any of us could have ever dreamed of doing by actually taking the time to address her specious sophistry, and we should probably thank her for that.
But given the fervor and cultish narrow-mindedness with which she pursues the possibility of arbitrarily and unjustly abridging your Constitutionally-protected, individual rights, I cannot help but to chuckle at how that all-consuming zealousness only causes her to fail faster.
Do you think that she’d object if I sent her a Mother’s Day card?
She’d probably think it was a death threat somehow.
@Heather
I would put money on that. She purposely misconstrues everything when she’s not outright dismissing an argument.
@ Sean D Sorrentino: Others have beaten me to it, but I definitely think that would be a Very Bad Idea(TM). The best case would be that she threw a hissy fit on her site about you stalking her or whatnot… the worst case would be cops showing up on your doorstep regarding the same. Probably not worth the jab, sadly…
@ Heather: Considering that she has already threatened to call the cops on Sean if he ever commented on her site again, I would not be surprised…
@ Pyrotek85: As Joe Huffman observed, there is very likely something terribly wrong in that woman’s brain.
