Mar 2014

Just the other day someone came and attacked me, even though I had not ever said anything to or about them. They basically claimed that everything that I said, everything that I believe strongly in, was not worth shit - just because I did not stand in an occupy encampment a couple of winters ago. This particular attacker, knows nothing of the place I live, whether or not we even had a occupy movement of any regards here or any personal happenings in my life at the time. All that mattered to this "holier than thou" persona, was I did not occupy, they did. I needed to shut up and kiss their feet.

There you go, putting words in my Isoldeblue Mar 2014 #121

Fair enough you didn't say bully. But she gets bullied. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #101

As many of us do. Even here on DU. She is not exceptional in that. n/t Isoldeblue Mar 2014 #103

There people here who bully her. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #54

And she invites much of it B2G Mar 2014 #56

No she does not. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #57

If she were an actual 'victim' I would agree B2G Mar 2014 #59

We are done. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #60

Good B2G Mar 2014 #61

This seems an appropriate response tammywammy Mar 2014 #64

Is that an excuse by people to say whatever they want to her. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #66

You want to know what got me on her "iggy" list? tammywammy Mar 2014 #67

While we all have our faults and she admits hers people here, I am not saying you, hrmjustin Mar 2014 #71

I have never seen Nadine admit fault tammywammy Mar 2014 #76

We disgree and there are things I can say that I have seen but it would start a war with some hrmjustin Mar 2014 #80

I talk to her almost daily. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #81

That didn't even come close to answering my question. pintobean Mar 2014 #82

If I disagree with her or if I think she is wrong I let her know. I am not a yes person. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #83

She knows what he said. And I never told you or anyone here to shut up. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #118

You haven't used those words pintobean Mar 2014 #120
