I voted yes, because the link you cited has nothing to do with what the magazine was promoting in the 80's.

I ask because you cite this as your reason for voting "yes".

A question on acceptable sources at DU. Is this source acceptable? [View all] stone space Feb 2016 OP

Odd reading habits you have there... ileus Feb 2016 #1

I don't understand. stone space Feb 2016 #2

Of course you don't, GGJohn Feb 2016 #12

Good thing that you arived here to explain it, then. Please proceed. stone space Feb 2016 #15

Why? GGJohn Feb 2016 #17

So you don't understand, either, huh? stone space Feb 2016 #19

Except I do understand what was said, GGJohn Feb 2016 #20

It depends MohRokTah Feb 2016 #3

This is the use being made at the link. stone space Feb 2016 #4

Had I been on the jury, I would have voted to hide. MohRokTah Feb 2016 #6

Feel free to make yourself the very first "yes" vote. stone space Feb 2016 #10

I just did pintobean Feb 2016 #11

Here's a link to the OP in question. stone space Feb 2016 #13

I'm not concerned pintobean Feb 2016 #16

Oh, so it's merely asking the question that has you so concerned. stone space Feb 2016 #21

This thread is nothing more than flamebait, GGJohn Feb 2016 #23

It's a simple question on appropriate sources for DU. stone space Feb 2016 #29

I'm not upset, GGJohn Feb 2016 #34

Again, amused. pintobean Feb 2016 #30

How is "the gun forum" different from other forums here on DU? stone space Feb 2016 #36

Your freakout was your alert and this thread. eom. GGJohn Feb 2016 #18

Everything is acceptable on DU these days. kwassa Feb 2016 #9

I voted yes, GGJohn Feb 2016 #14

What exactly was Soldier of Fortune promoting in the 1980s? stone space Feb 2016 #22

Are you that dense? GGJohn Feb 2016 #24

You specifically cited it as your reason for voting "yes". stone space Feb 2016 #25

Again, as usual, you're wrong. GGJohn Feb 2016 #27

This is the second time that you have referred to "what SOF was promoting in the 80's". stone space Feb 2016 #33

LOL, you really are that dense. GGJohn Feb 2016 #35

Personal insults aside, the phrase "what SOF was promoting in the 80's"... stone space Feb 2016 #38

If you haven't figured it out by now, GGJohn Feb 2016 #41

Aparently, you haven't figured it out, either. stone space Feb 2016 #42

Ok, you go with that. GGJohn Feb 2016 #43

You've given me no other choice. stone space Feb 2016 #46

Soldier of Fortune is a racist rag. EOM Hoyt Feb 2016 #31

Which has nothing to do with the link he cited. GGJohn Feb 2016 #32

Soldier of Fortune definitely is. I suppose The Turner Diaries is also acceptable to most gunners. Hoyt Feb 2016 #39

Thank you Hoyt, GGJohn Feb 2016 #40

How so? What exactly is your point? stone space Feb 2016 #47

I can't figure out if you're really this dense, or are just playing games? GGJohn Feb 2016 #50

OK, to sum your position up: it's OK to link to professional killers about guns muriel_volestrangler Feb 2016 #55

It has everything to do with the question of acceptable sources on DU. stone space Feb 2016 #45

Well, considering that RT, Sputnik News, GGJohn Feb 2016 #51

I wouldn't use it... SidDithers Feb 2016 #26

I'm sure it is among racist gun fanciers. Hoyt Feb 2016 #28

I think all sources should be accepted bigwillq Feb 2016 #37

If true and factual why not? Chuuku Davis Feb 2016 #54

Eeewwwww.... No. hunter Feb 2016 #44

It's been a bit since you posted and I was wondering... discntnt_irny_srcsm Feb 2016 #48
