(88,117 posts)Actually it wasn't so much that I took it personally.....it's that the posters were saying that "old white men" were holding the party back from being progressive.
That is just not true. I jumped into the fray. They were lying about the rights and the place of seniors here at DU.
I was not referring to the change in demographics, that is happening and a good thing. I am speaking of the rude and insulting posts there toward seniors. It was way out of line.
Sometimes it's time to speak up.
I have some stalking me lately. Alerting does no good. I have to either stop posting a while or take a stand sometimes.
It was the poster here who said that, there was too much ugly stuff from the other threads to copy here. The "lazy stupid foolish" was an opinion here.
