WTF? That thread is over a day old at this point? It was dead and over already. How is that brigading?
This is just /r/firearms acting childish and actually organizing vote brigading in an active thread.
This thread has been linked to from elsewhere on reddit.
^If ^you ^follow ^any ^of ^the ^above ^links, ^respect ^the ^rules ^of ^reddit ^and ^don't ^vote ^or ^comment. ^Questions? ^Abuse? ^Message ^me ^here.
Aaaaand there it is
THE SHIT MUST FLOW.
IN CIRCLES.
Well, you are a GrC mod and SRD has a habit of voting on linked threads.
Last time I checked the Admins will shadow ban you quite quickly for voting on linked threads in SRD. So, by "habit of voting on linked threads". You mean like 2 years ago.
And even if what you say is true (you're just super worried about votes, and not just acting like butthurt man-children over a few of users leaving snarky comments), that thread is over a day old. Any votes on it would be pretty moot at this point.
I dunno man, this seems an awful lot like you think SRD is some sort of personal army.
Ding, ding , ding! Give the man a prize!
Um, ok? Personal army for what?
Edit: I got this post from /r/circlejerkcopypasta here: http://np.reddit.com/r/circlejerkcopypasta/comments/2l7cun/everyoneheretakealookdownandtakeyour_god/
Shouldn't you guys be outraged at them also?
For making people you disagree with seem less popular and more crazy than they actually are.
Lol, "to make people you disagree with seem less popular" . Wow. I didn't know Reddit was a high-school popularity contest.
And for the record snowflake, I found this post in /r/circlejerkcopypasta here: http://np.reddit.com/r/circlejerkcopypasta/comments/2l7cun/everyoneheretakealookdownandtakeyour_god/ It was posted a 18 hours before I posted it. I thought the thread was funny, and so I shared it here. That's as far as this high-school popularity contest conspiracy goes.
So you're going to need to implicate those users in this "popularity" conspiracy also, because that's where I got it from.
>I didn't know Reddit was a high-school popularity contest
Of course it's a popularity contest, that's how the voting system works.

Not sure what I said to deserve this.
Let put it in a way you can (hopefully) understand. If me posting your own words effects your "popularity" on Reddit then you have bigger problems to contend with.
It could possibly affect someone's popularity in a technical sense. Posting something somewhere that the people in that place are likely to disagree with could cause some of those people to downvote that.
I never said I cared about popularity and I never told you to do anything different or that this post doesn't belong here. By the sociological definition, reddit is a contest of popularity.
Also confused as to why you think I wouldn't understand what you're saying.
He's talking about the original thread on /r/firearms
I like that they mention GRC. There are maybe a dozen of us left following that thing, what a blow to their credibility!
I think that the majority of your viewers may be gun owners like myself who browse every now and then just to see the other side. I occasionally comment, but it never goes anywhere.
Yeah, I sort of agree with them in spirit, but the place is a real ghost town.
It doesn't help that the name of the subreddit, before you even walk in the door, is just oozing with snark. I'm sure that there are great people in there who believe what they believe for all the best reasons but I'm glad it's a ghost town.
Where do you see a mention of grc?
The top highlighted comment in the link. "Providing GRC with fuel" I think it says.
Oh you meant the OP. Well he does have a point, grc did have at least one post on it, and even that post was horribly misinformed
OP is a mod of grc. Just pointing that out.
Yeah, I know
Seriously, like twelve people there. It seems an odd thing to worry about.
7,000 subscribers, including praisebetoscience, loveguns, and combateffective who all lurk the pro-gun subs. We try to keep our drama inside and deal with it internally, and we can't do that when grc-ers get their hands on it. Or when r/firearms gets their hands on it either apparently
I feel like you're maybe taking this too seriously.
Taking what too seriously?
Subreddits.
Uh, just reddit in general. None of this shit really matters.
I think it looks more like a cry for help. "We need to get our act together, people are laughing at us."
man you guys make srdd too easy.
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
