Oh, Lord, what have I done? I posted a reply in the GD:P forum!!
So people really do not want answers or to learn from others. It seems like they'd much rather build up (loudly..with chest out, looking down their noses) a case of why they are right and others are wrong...no matter how steeped in logic, experience, or fact a case or subject is brought to them, they'd rather just argue and get their friends to 'amen' or 'rec' a thread.
The amount of patience and strength many of you in the AA Forum have demonstrated outside this forum is tremendous. I see your posts in GD, GD: P, LBN, etc. and I am to the point where I look for AA Forum names to see if the topic is worth more than a cursory read.
Your efforts really do remind me of Civil Rights workers in the early 60's who had to put up with a lot of bullshit and stupid-ass, ignorant white people who didn't want to help. You have to talk to these folks like you are talking to a little kid with sensitivity issues, otherwise, you have a bad attitude and are "attacking" them or being "hostile". SMH.
Going to take another shower since my (very quick) GD: P post is making me feel dirty and taking away my Scalia buzz.
= new reply since forum marked as read
rest in peace! If there is a Great Beyond, I want him to receive his just desserts there. 
This is indeed a great forum, with some outstanding posters!
intellectual superiority calls you a RACE BAITER. That's when you know you've arrived on the DU! 
The calling card of racist, ignorant, privileged, and did I mention racist? morons the entire world over has made its way to DU only a couple of thousand times over the last 12 years or so. And it's usually tossed at black people and clear allies of black posters, which makes it all the more deliciously Freeper-esque.

I have always done the same. ALWAYS. And it's kept me out of a lot of trouble.
forum chimed in to basically high five the person who said that to you?? One of them even agreed wholeheartedly with that post and was all proud of himself for his "courage" in agreeing with it... well up until he self-deleted his courageous post. 
That was a SHIMMERING DU moment there!
And then another poster stopped hunting ducks just long enough to come into the thread and post the jury results on the post calling you a "homophobic zombie troll" and to let everyone know that a jury was perfectly happy with someone calling you a "homophobic zombie troll" and the cherry on that shit sundae was when you got a post hidden for telling the person who called you a "homophobic zombie troll" that he had the wrong dude! Rememba???!! 
Gotta love this fucking place.
Not sure how I missed that one.
When I came back recently, it was someone calling bravernak a race baiter because she posted an excerpt from Letter from a Birmingham Jail that kicked me into gear to post again 
I scan post authors and also use ignore and trash thread liberally these days to say out of DU jail.
