Merriam Webster defines "limp wristed" as: 1. Effeminate 2. Weak
You chose to paint with a wide brush members of this forum who for various reasons choose not to be confrontational toward those businesses who disagree with their views concerning the lawful carrying of handguns. Denigrating others in generalities in such a manner is the tactics of the anti-2A opposition and likely to evoke strong reactions on this forum.
Your refusal to recognize and apologize for this leads to Merriam Webster's definition of "boorish":
"mean uncouth in manners or appearance. boorish implies rudeness of manner due to insensitiveness to others' feelings and unwillingness to be agreeable ".

Finally, the term limp wristed has been used as a derogatory term toward homosexuals. We have no idea on this forum, nor do we care, about the members' sexual orientation. Any Texan who believes in their right to carry a self defense handgun is welcome and should not be expected to tolerate off-handed remarks they may find offensive.

You could have avoided the ensuing confrontation over the words you used had you merely recognized, apologized and removed your unnecessary denigration of forum members.
