reasoned discourse

Term for when gun control advocates regularly censor comments on their message boards or blogs. Usually when their arguments and claims are easily refuted.

Term comes from the last days of the old Brady Campaign blog where they ran a series called, of course 'Reasoned Discourse' where they highlighted alleged violent or disgusting comments they had received. This was shortly before they blocked all comments and later deleted them.

I pointed out that murder was already illegal and that making it moreso with a special gun murder statute was a bit silly. Reasoned discourse broke out, and my comment vanished from the blog.
