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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

there are many terms she uses continuously beside "nooz".
You'd be "gobsmacked" at all the terms, but not surprised.
Just do a search, yup "easy peachy".

I have so much respect for the men here who stand up for women when right wingers go after them. Can't say the same about men here who join the right wing bullies who are so obsessed with her. Dangerously obsessed imho considering some of the 'fantasies' I saw back then. Thanks for feeding them, not!

engages in exactly the same kind of mockery, using the exact same words and attacking the exact same female DUer. Sorry if you don't like me mentioning it. 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!

I haven't seen anyone else do it, so it seems it's only obvious to you. It's cheap and disgusting. I think it's below your intelligence level.
I agree with you quite often, and if it wasn't for this cheap tactic of yours, I would respect you.

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.

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.

Hey, if that's who you are, go for it, but don't delude yourself that you're a good guy or gal. You're not. You're a mean hateful mf.

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.

lame attacks. I haven't been to that vile corner of the internet for a year, it doesn't take long to see the patterns. A couple of weeks and it was obvious who was who, here and there. 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.

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.

with DU, is not something I have the patience for. Just because you find it irresistible doesn't mean anyone else does. 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.

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.

I think they finally decided to pay attention, after 48 hours, with that creative writing exercise from Pyongyang, which I found to be like bad sci fi writing

So The question is, why do the owners allow stalking and trolling behavior? That is a more proper question.

I could bring it to ATA, but it won't make a difference, so the misbehaving children get creatively ignored, trying to get a rise from others, cause me, like any two year old, they are getting ignored. .
