(19,768 posts)Number one, I don't for one second back off my characterization of the DU intimidation game - I've been on the receiving end of that one too many times to pretend it doesn't exist. Espousing a view contrary to the DU consensus often times opens one up to all sorts of personal attacks and insinuations - I know this first hand. It's like you're on trial, and I always come back to - who the hell is anyone to pass judgement on me? That kind of intimidation has never has worked on me, and it never will.
As far as the poster in question in your post, and his/her photobucket account, I have looked through that image gallery and can say my image gallery would look far different. But I will judge the poster by what he/she posts here, and so far, aside from one image of Martin that he/she posted, asking if it was real, I haven't seen anything posted that causes me to think this poster is guilty of some horrible travesty. He/she has been here since 2003 it seems, and I would think that if he/she were here spreading racist ideas, his/her account would have been shut down long ago.
I'm here on DU to discuss ideas, concepts, and current events in an honest and respectful manner. I'm not here to jump on some bandwagon. I'm not here to have others think for me. I'm not here to censor myself or others, or to be censored. I'm not here to point fingers. I'm not here to help conduct witch-hunts, or be the subject of one.
Moving on...
