"your bias and bigotry"... whose exactly?? I agree with keepsmiling, I looked and didn't see any biased/bigoted responses to you. This is generally a very friendly community of people with a common interest. Now, it may be that you have interests that are outside of the sphere of vaping, in which case you should be prepared if/when putting yourself out there. We love good hearty discussions on interests outside of vaping - but you must be up to the task! :)

    To be blunt, I doubt that I would have let the fact that I owned a shooting range influence what I used for a sign in name on an e-cig forum. It would be appropriate on a shooting forum, but could lead to controversy anywhere else. As you must know gun laws can spark some intense emotions.
    Just remember that if you grant for yourself the right to have your own gun law opinion, that automatically means that you grant others the right to their opinion.

    Quick explanation: see post above by TJ, that pretty much nails it.

    Perhaps they did not realise that a username of 'familyshooting' might generate the wrong impression. In that case, problems will follow them everywhere. Some will be OK with such a name and realise what it might refer to, others will be shocked. Here, we have to play safe, and gently ask people to try not to cause offense. If someone can't see what the basic problem is, then they are not suited for here, and that's all there is to it.

    Plus it may have been a business name in any case, so it's a double-no here.
