Am I particularly caustic today, or does DU have particularly thin skin?

[sibelian]

1. I don't know. Where was the scalding done?

Certainly some are annoyed... but then twas ever thus, no?

16. Well, since the offending post got deleted

enough people agreed with you about the douchebaggery expressed within it to alert on it.

Sometimes you have to realize that no matter how hard we try, some people out there will go out of their way to be assholes. They might be having a bad day, a bad year, or a bad life.

The mods are good here. They usually don't last long. If you remember the screen name, check it out. They probably got a pizza delivered if it was really bad.

8. reminds me of an email I got here recently

user let me know they alerted on a post of mine and wonders how I keep getting away with posting 'cute' threads in GD - and how they are baffled as to why the DU bosses think I am harmless.

Sometimes you just have to realize that DU, especially GD, is like a bar where lots of people discuss lots of things and sometimes don't always agree.

9. You've never offended me, but my offend-o-meter is calibrated fairly high.

[Scuba]

15. LOL

10. You broadbrush attack charter schools and tell a bunch of people to fuck off

Actually, that's pretty mild around here, so it's probably just DU today :)

[blondeatlast]

12. Asking for facts is a broadbrush attack now? this place is getting very

delicate, apparently...

[City of Mills]

13. What facts are you looking for? Can you clarify?

Yes, I know of a charter school that takes students with disabilities. Do you want names, class rosters? Links to applications, FAQs about who can attend? What constitutes an acceptable answer for your fact search? I'm not sure how to answer the question posed in your other thread.

[blondeatlast]

18. Statistics of disabled students in, retention rates, suspension rates--

how many are accepted and retained long enough to complete; but if you'd rather be deliberately obtuse, you just go right on ahead.

Bless your heart.

Just have to accept that the things that don't bother me, seem to bother people here.
