Showing Original Post only (View all)Well, another cowardly attack... [View all]
http://www.democraticunderground.com/125553255This is about something I said in JaneQPublic's thread calling Cheney a pussy. Apparently, calling Cheney a pussy is worse than what Cheney did and the fight was on.
Now it seems I'm a liar, a sexist pig, and such a bad guy that I singlehandedly managed to get at least two people to turn in their Democratic memberships. So far, it looks like alerts have failed (of course I assumed they would be alerted on) so I'm attacked in public on a private "protected" forum where I can't respond. What a wonderful place this can be.
Since I'm one of over 50 people banned from that group I can't defend myself (although the truth is I don't really want to deal with that crowd) but I am fascinated how they have managed to strike enough fear into the hearts of DU that no one else is going to go in and strike a blow for reason.
I'm not asking for support here for my posts, or not much, anyway, but there might be some cause for more discussion about alert stalking. And extremism in defense of polite speech.
Should the expected alert be successful, I will assume m y point proven.

Wait, what's wrong with shrill? And hasn't "hysteria" developed well beyond it's origins by now?

I was responding to your post, but perhaps we both misunderstood each other
