I certainly appreciate the other side of the argument, up until it dives into "take up arms against your library oppressors" territory -- nm - rollo Jan 31, 14:35 7
- Armed is too far, I agree. Loud, boisterous and unruly, I could get behind. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 14:39 1
  - that would mean you're dealing with someone that bows to public pressure, has shame, or can be reasoned with. - colin Jan 31, 14:44
- Who said the libraries were the ones doing the oppressing? -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 14:37 4
  - Ack! What!? I take it all back. Violence for all, or for none. Everyone leave me alone. -- nm - rollo Jan 31, 14:41 3
    - Not trying to pile on here, but I want to clarify that my point isn’t in regards to resorting to violence, but how you’re framing the argument - znufrii Jan 31, 14:53 1
      - Swap out librarians for whoever you like then, I think I've established my position -- nm - rollo Jan 31, 15:02
    - Yada yada worse than Hitler -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 14:42
