3. Damn, after THAT many flagrant violations like that in one day?
x(

I just hope they hold their promise not to come tell the rest of us how they don't think we should have equal rights...like they did before.

I am off to update my still ever growing ignore list now.

I'm so glad our administrators care about us.

18. I honestly don't know what to say, LeftCoast.
I don't believe that bastard's "apology" for one second. I'm sorry, I don't.

Either you strictly enforce a policy of no homophobia on DU by PERMANENTLY banning people who flagarantly violate that policy or you just basically say "who cares?" about homophobia on Democratic Underground. Looks like the admins have chosen the latter option.

10. Absolutely pathetic on the part of the admins to give that poster a second chance.
I guess their goal is pretty clear now. Let the anti-gay bigots take over the board and push all the LGBT posters out so they don't have to police any militant straight behavior.

It is insulting, offensive, and unreal that the poster in question didn't get banned after going on such an anti-gay outrage. If the words had been "silly ___________ <--insert racial/sexual/disability slur" it would have meant instant tombstone, but since the poster is anti-gay, he or she gets a slap on the wrist and a chance to offer a non-apology.

DU has quickly become a sorry haven for anti-gay "progressives."

Thank you admins.

12. This is outrageous, and I'm beginning to think that a donations boycott
by GLBTs and their allies will be the only way to get admins to start taking antigay language and bigotry as seriously as they take other forms of discrimination.

What a farce.

14. A donations boycott sounds like a good idea, I only donate once a year though...
Maybe those who donate monthly or more often than once a year will be able to participate though. I won't donate next year if this type of shit continues though.

15. I decided some time back not to donate again.
My problem then was the way the management let a bunch of playground bullies take over the site during the primaries.

This gives me another reason to find a better way to spend that money.

20. I won't encourage people not to donate, but I decided some months ago to stop sending DU my $
I won't be giving here again until I feel that we are more than simply 'tolerated'.

26. Yes, I noticed that attacks on the homophobe are being removed.
It makes a major fuckup even bigger.

I've been here for seven years and this is, without a doubt, the single biggest fuckup by the administrators that I have ever seen.

27. I really have no words for this, further than what I wrote in his non-apology thread.
I hope that he is re-banned, and barring that that he never posts in this forum.

I dedicate my sigline to the homophobic piece of shit asshole stupid queer.
