I really don't get it. At this point it almost pathological.
What did she do to you, personally? Did she kill your favorite dog? Steal your significant other? Rat you our to the cops? What? Who holds a petty ass grudge over some self perceived bull-shit like this? I mean, for real?

(62,325 posts)talking about how certain anti-women, not to worry as I'm sure it doesn't apply to you, men on the Right always use that word in a vain attempt to insult intelligent, Liberal Women.
Do you know how often Right Wingers use that word against women who can actually spell and put sentences together? We decided it was a talking point they were given, since we know most of them can't think for themselves.
Screed! Lol! I love it when things align so perfectly.

Again, thanks for making me aware of the thread. It's always amusing to see the patterns, here and to bet that they are being repeated over there, on the cave. What do you think the odds are that this thread is as fascinating to them as it is to her fans here?
Someone else will have to check though, I don't go to moronic rightwing sites who are obsessed with Liberal Women, except on rare occasions for research.
SidDithers
(44,228 posts)some of her biggest detractors are women.
Your attempts to make this a gender issue are fucking hilarious.
Sid
sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)Any grown man who is this obsessed with a woman over this many years, is badly in need of help. She has done nothing to any one here, not a thing. So it certainly isn't about that.
I saw the threats, the ugly gender based threats made against her. And people here on this forum who are contributing to that are complicit. No decent person would behave this way. Sure it makes you popular with the lunatic right wing fringe. But I said 'decent people'.
She has been far too tolerant, unlike other women I know who took care of situations like this the instant they began.

(20,606 posts)"It has everything to do with her gender and mostly her party affiliation."
Ummmm....as I said, condescending know-it-alls can be any sex, any religion, any party, any color.
And aren't we all Democrats?
Or, in your eyes, are some more Democratic than others???
sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)democrats. It IS gender based, and when people on this site play along or to that low class trash, they are complicit. I see no difference between them and the few people left here, probably no more than three or four as most others realized how strange it was and stopped when they saw how most outsiders viewed the behavior. Same MO, same words even. So maybe the way not to be confused for a right winger is to not act like one.
zappaman
(20,606 posts)Just say it.
sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)a right winger, then they should not emulate them. Your obsession with Nadin is very similar to theirs. They too refer to her as condescending etc.
I do not think YOU are a right winger because you have other creds here. But we know for a fact that a few people here who join and joined in the the anti-Nadin mob scene were in fact right wingers. At least one of them is now gone.
My point is that if I found myself in any way doing anything that looked even remotely similar to what those morons do, I would stop, I would be frightened for myself. Mocking people is what they do, it is not a liberal value.
Nadin is DUer. Other DUers who know what has been going on there should not be entertaining them by doing it here. Even if I despised someone here that I knew was a Democrat, there is no way I would betray them or the site, by publicly attacking that person. If I had something to say to them I would say it in private, or I would simply stay away from them.
zappaman
(20,606 posts)LOL!
Condescending know-it-alls come in both sexes, as well as both political parties, different races, and various religions.
So do those that think they are more "democratic" than other Democrats and repeat it ad nauseum.

pintobean
(18,101 posts)and the lame attempts at trying to tie good DUers to that hatefest. Nadin uses the term "nooz" all the time. I doesn't look like she has a problem with others using it too. If she did, she'd stop using it herself.
zappaman
(20,606 posts)there are many terms she uses continuously beside "nooz".
You'd be "gobsmacked" at all the terms, but not surprised.

Don't imitate morons on the right if you don't want people to make the obvious comparisons. It's difficult to tell the difference sometimes.
Bullying women is not a Liberal Value either. Speaking of obsessions!

sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)connection privately. There is nothing liberal about men ganging up on a woman who has done nothing to them. I often agree with you too and have respected many of your opinions which is why it is so disappointing to see you join in this bullying, especially considering the makeup of those who are a part of it, here and there. I don't put you in that same category, but there is no need for you to join the few who have revealed themselves for who they are to most DUers which is why most people have them on ignore.
I don't understand it to be honest. If it was being done to you, I would do the same thing.
pintobean
(18,101 posts)The last time we spoke on this subject, you gave me shit for not defending nadin - as if that's every DUer's responsibility. It was in a Meta thread of mine where nadin was a small, insignificant detail.
That, in my view, is a seriously twisted obsession.
You go ahead and be her knight in shining armor. I'm sure she'll appreciate it until you have the audacity to disagree with her on something. There's a long history here that you seem to willfully ignore.
easttexaslefty

sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)to do with harassing someone?
I have never said it is everyone's responsibility to defend her or anyone else. It is the responsibility of decent people not to join a gang of bullies to harass someone they do not like. It's not hard to ignore people you don't like. Try doing it in RL, try joining a mob of abusive, insulting morons who gang up on a woman and see what happens. And increasingly the same rules are beginning to apply to the internet, as they should since people have taken advantage of the anonymity they believe protects them to do online what they would never do or get away with in RL.

It must take a lot of time spent there to end up sounding and looking just like them, with the same obsessions, the same language even.
I'd suggest you not go there anymore, or at least don't imitate them.

Perhaps you can be a tad more condescending and make up stories about your adventures to get them to take notice?

(62,325 posts)I wouldn't know what the neanderthals at the cave do or don't do. I saw all I needed in a few weeks when I was alerted to the fact that they were working in tandem with people here re Nadin. It was hard to believe, but turned out to be true. I don't waste time wallowing in that kind of mire, I saw all I need to see and I doubt anything has changed, as they are not very imaginative from what I saw.

Stop projecting, I went there about a year ago to see what people were talking about, I searched the site and found it thoroughly sick, like a dusty old basement with a bunch of disturbed people mumbling to themselves. I stayed long enough to convince me that there really are some very sick people in this world.

(62,325 posts)use that to mock her with. Is there a good reason for anyone to mock someone else? Can these old men who have followed her around for years, not control their obsession with her and just leave her alone? She doesn't bother them. They follow her around, they've done it for years. That is sick, imho. Any old man who follows a woman around for years, mocking her, has a serious problem.
This problem was raised many times here, yet the same people are still unable to just pass her OPs by. Why?
If you saw a bunch of middle-aged men mocking and taunting a woman who was not bothering them on the street, what would you do? I know what I would do, I would call the cops.
