(1,957 posts)But the last one shows we can overcome hate in this world if we try. So many little ones start out teasing and tormenting even littler things out of anger or simply because they can. The pup,the kitten can not only offer love but help teach a heart to love and continue to love through ones lifetime.

Can we just stick to animals???
SalmonChantedEvening
(31,953 posts)No.
And, no.
Happy Sunday.
femrap
(13,418 posts)is so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute about the Superman comic? I thought we were to have a nice cozy, cuuuuuuuuuuute Sunday.
Just asking.
SalmonChantedEvening
(31,953 posts)1,200 people have seen this, and realize it isn't saying that women falling to their deaths is funny.
Superman and Lois lane are not real. He can't really fly, and he didn't really let her fall off his back. There are DC comic fans who see the thread and get it. In comic book land (see Not Real) Supe would have spotted and saved the falling Lois. Then again as I have stated (twice now) it isn't real.
Why aren't you equally upset about the idea of hunters being eaten by bears? How is that cuuuuuuuuuuuute?

Lady Freedom Returns
(14,120 posts)At Wed Dec 5, 2012, 05:09 PM an alert was sent on the following post:
I haven't had a post hidden before,
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1018&pid=249374
REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Referring to a fellow DUer as "one entitled bitch" is over the top and should be hidden.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Dec 5, 2012, 05:45 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: the truth is the truth. Deal with it.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: Don't care if the post this post is replying to was hidden. This is a personal attack and also makes DU suck.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
kiva
(4,373 posts)I've trashed a lot of my pissed-off posts in the past, but I am so tired of seeing wonderful people leaving DU or just not posting anymore because of posts like femrap's.
I know some people may think that SCE is overreacting but he is unfailingly polite on DU and I can see why he would not want to be part of a community where niceness is met by rudeness.
regnaD kciN
(26,045 posts)Namely, you can use any hate-speech you want if your opponent's opinions are offensive to a majority of DUers.
Would people have been O.K. with calling the poster in question a "n*gg*r" or "f*gg*t" if they had been AA or LGBT?
kiva
(4,373 posts)know that DU has changed.
Juries are not consistent - tonight femrap has posted the real name of a DUer twice; once her post was hidden, once it was not.
I think that this nasty attack on SCE got so many people angry because he has never been anything but friendly to people here, and maybe we are willing to stretch the line. When we switched to DU3 Skinner made a comment to the effect that some on here would reap what they had sowed, that people who had made enemies might have some problems...I believe he was correct.

You know, I've fought the good fight...I've written legislation that was adopted by my state on equal pay....I've worked for womens equality but not everything is about that.
This is a fun thread in the lounge that people wait for on Sunday mornings...compiled by someone who takes time to bring a smile to our faces. I just saw a post from SalmonChantedEvening that states he is leaving DU due to events from Sunday's thread. I wonder if this is the response you wanted.
Please go read something else....
We like you, SCE. Don't leave.

What you said wasn't that bad. The response you got is terrible, shameful really.
Where is everyone else? A whole bunch of people should have said this, and alerted on those posts. And the juries should have hidden the posts, which they didn't.
enlightenment
(8,830 posts)Really?
Good grief, Engrique - femrap dragged the gigantic chip off her shoulder and smacked him upside the head with it. Her response was completely over-the-top.
What she said is the equivalent of drowning a little kid's hamster in front of him. It was cruel. She decided, based on ONE silly comic that he is a bad person who deserves scorn and derision. Ridiculous, almost pathologically nasty commentary that blind-sided one of the nicest people on DU.
I'm not much for profanity in print; the time it takes to type it is time enough to think of some other word; but she deserves exactly what she's getting.
Stinky The Clown
(67,836 posts)I have never been as pissed off about one thread that had nothing to do with me as I am at this one.
SHAME ON YOU.

You would do well to back away from your keyboard and stop posting for a DAMN LONG TIME. You have no support for what you did.

This whole imbroglio just came to my attention--I can't believe the DELIBERATE OBTUSENESS. And what a terrible target to go after! I had to have someone explain to me why the cats speak so oddly and spell so poorly with all those Z's (Introduction to Memes 101) a few years back, but the pictures are cute as hell and this weekend thread is one of my few forays to the lounge, if I happen to remember to go look for it!
The attempt to get people exorcised over that cartoon, to my eye, looks like a shit-stirring exercise that went terribly wrong, actually! No minions rallied; no crowds with torches and pitchforks arrived to shout "Yeah--BAD Superman!!" Why? Because, as you said "He's Superman--he can just GO GET HER!!!"
Some truths are just ... self evident!!!

SCE, people who spew such unreasonable and venomous hatred are
usually unaware of how ill they are -- how sick their spirits have
become.

You are one of THE nicest, most gracious people on DU. Unfortunately,
that awesome magnitude of spirit can bring the envious and the
incapable out of the woodwork.

Hate-filled gonna be hateful.

I think this person is enjoying "winning" and will actually feel good
that he/she ruined the enjoyment and simple pleasure that hundreds,
if not thousands, enjoy in your posts every week.

I hope you'll reconsider and not let someone spiritually sickened with
so much hatred "win".

It's all about pov, and no can credibly argue that yours is pointing in some untoward direction. What can I say . . . I've taken long walks away from DU over the years. DO come back and hang out whenever you feel comfortable again . . . ron
Oh yeah, omg, did that poster really say there was something wrong with a dude trying hard to be cute? If we don't try and stretch ourselves in our lifetimes we will shrivel up under the weight of our own practiced nature. There is no better direction to bend than toward warmness and love. It's definitely worth the effort to step outside of the conventional notions of what comprises the nature of our genders. Nobody knows you better than you, SCE. Keep rockin the smiles. We need that.

I was so disappointed to not find it. I admit, I am addicted to DU, but it is not healthy to get a political overload of news.
That is exactly why SCE is so important. I think feminazi lady should just use the ignore button, if offended. It was a cartoon. Really? That is something to raise a fuss about?
I will be heartbroken if SCE decides to leave.
Please don't go, my friend. We need you. Well, I do anyhow.
