Well, that was super embarrassing and we'll past unfortunate

Multitasking conversations is the devil or at least requires quality control.

I was starting a post in response to Sonderwoman and got a sexy banter text and somehow posted the response in praise of the lady friend's vagina.

So...soooo...embarrassing on many levels but I feel I owe the entire community an apology and want you to know that remark was not in context and completely unintentional.

The unfortunate receiver of the misplaced response was addressed directly by PM. That just isn't me and wasn't meant for public consumption.

Thank you for your attention my DU Community.

Knowing TheKentuckian's other posts I figured there was some inside story to go with the remark.

When I was called to jury there were no outcries from others so I thought I had missed something in the past few days I wasn't on DU.

Mea Culpa.

I should have not said that either....let she who is without sin, pick up the first stone or snide comment on a discussion board. I am sorry.


BTW.....per Momma of irisblue....a dope slap is when Da Momma, reaches over and taps the child,( yes even at 58 I'm still getting them) on the back of the head (this is important)LIGHTLY. It is supposed to be a "hey whatta are ya doin?" at least that is how Momma of irisblue taught it

I had barely hit the login button when the call to jury message popped up.

That remark from TheKentuckian seemed so out of place and made no sense at all. I was feeling a little confused to say the least.

I'm glad my faith in TheKentuckian wasn't misplaced.

Still laughing.

On Sat Aug 8, 2015, 01:57 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Full transparency
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7055181

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

He made a crude post to Sonderwoman, got it hidden, and then double downs by making an OP to draw more attention to it and linking to it here. It is disrespectful to another member. It was bad enough the first time, but he is making it worse but drawing further attention to it.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Aug 8, 2015, 02:15 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Seems like a silly alert are we now afraid of a mistaken post that says Vagina?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: We are all adults on here, and I do not feel that the other person was disrespectful.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No, an apology was provided. After reading the circumstances and context it does not make the situation worse and does not merit a second hidden post.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm sorry, but he had apologized for posting something meant as a PM. He was explaining it to an inquiry. Leave It

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

it was in the early days of lolcats and i had the site cached. but, when i went to post the pictures, they had actually been taken over a porn site.

that was pretty embarrassing. this was on the old du and you could only delete or edit a post within a certain time frame. thank gods someone pointed it out to me while i could still zap it.

It was so unexpected and frankly kind of vile...if from a stranger..
I am sure your lady friend wouldn't think so because you have a history with each other.

I will post a retraction under my comment--so glad it was a mix up!!
