1. hallefrickenluya! bout fuggin' time... now. i need to delete some harsh posts so i do not get hides

for going after this garbage.

[niyad]

2. one down. . . .an entire culture to go!

[CrispyQ]

58. Ok, that made me laugh.

[CreekDog]

3. jury system really failed us though

not to pour water on this, but there seems to be a problem since none of the posts by those later PPR'd got hidden.

which is ridiculous since not only were they trolling, but they were posting offensive stuff.

[seabeyond]

5. lotsa 3-3. lots. nt

[boston bean]

8. He's been calling the women here damaged for two years now.

Implying that we all must have had some horrible abuse/assault/rape committed against us, because certainly if we hadn't, we would never say the things we say or believe the things we believe. It was condescending, insulting, misogynistic bullshit. Especially, condescending, insulting, misogynistic if he was speaking to a woman who has been a victim.

And he aint the only one that does it. I had a different poster do it to me yesterday. Start here and it gets worse as the subthread goes along..

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4755121

And that isn't the only one, there have been countless others posted to me as well.

[seabeyond]

12. this BB. so fuggin' insulting. nt

[Squinch]

13. He's on a roll, that one.

[seabeyond]

14. yes. another. calls women sk*nk then confused why women pissed. wha? wha? nt

[BainsBane]

34. oops. Thought you were tallking about the newly departed RC

Yes, I remember the s....k comment well. But it's okay. He gave some money to planned parenthood.

[seabeyond]

38. ya... all there for woman. the s***ks. nt

[hlthe2b]

16. that is beyond disgusting....

So sorry to see that being directed towards you, BB...

At least one "example" has been made today...

[Squinch]

17. I have seen a lot of posts (in addition to yours yesterday) from people who want to

alert, but realize that, not only will the alert probably not result in a hide, the alert summary will create a destructive sub thread of crowing over yet another astonishingly inappropriate post.

That feeling, that "right wing trash and sexism and racism and homophobic posts will not be trashed by a jury, so why bother?" is pretty accurate, but it doesn't bode well for this site.

[boston bean]

23. that is why i didnt alert

Not going to give the jerk the satisfaction of a bad jury result so he could feel emboldened and justified in his unseemly behavior

[Squinch]

24. I've done the same. It feels like you aren't doing something you should do, but you know

it will backfire on you if you do.

And now there seems to be a concerted army of trolls. It's only going to get worse.

[seabeyond]

26. spawning and respawning and respawning. yesterday was like me playing doom, all over again. nt

[Squinch]

28. Well, clearly there was some meeting among those who feel themselves oppressed by women.

There are dirty socks all over the floor.

[seabeyond]

30. yup. nt

[boston bean]

42. well, I did read they do have another "site"

[Tuesday Afternoon]

43. this link is not working for me

[boston bean]

44. it worked for me. try again and go to post 17.

[boston bean]

47. well, hells bells... took me forever to scroll through your reply..

try this.. let me know if it works and I'll edit my prior post.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1114&pid=11128

[Tuesday Afternoon]

48. yes, that worked. thanks.

[ismnotwasm]

49. Truly, and in a kind spirit, I'd delete that

Gave me a headache

[Tuesday Afternoon]

50. gave you a headache? heh. I thought DU broke my computer!

[ismnotwasm]

52. LOL

Plus it went to the men's group, didn't it? I have that trashed in perpetuity.

[BainsBane]

55. It's fetlife

A BDSM site.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

57. two things ...

1. Why am I -NOT- surprised

and

2. Why am I -NOT- surprised that You knew this

ha!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

59. third thing

3. when will Admin realize there are actual sadists on here who consider this place to be their own little dungeon and, there is no safe word. They have taken game playing and role playing to a whole 'nother level.

[BainsBane]

62. Hey!

I'm observant. That's all.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

64. I am going to call you:

Super Sleuth

[BainsBane]

66. I didn't go look them up

It occurred to me, but I didn't care enough to bother.

[Squinch]

72. Shocked. Shocked I tell you.

[BainsBane]

54. Even when a jury doesn't hide a post alerted on

administrators see the alerts. Over time they start to form an image of the poster, hence RC's departure. All of the alerts against him failed, but he's gone.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

65. You mean to say that he Never Once had a post hidden? Not One? Not Ever?

[BainsBane]

68. Not in the past 90 days

I don't know about ever. I never saw one though. The thing is people on the juries who thought they were protecting him by allowing that stuff to remain only further emboldened him, until he went so far he earned a tombstone.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

69. yes, emboldened ... people are not understanding how all this feeds off each other.

and then, they sit on juries, too and that skews the verdicts. Every jury that he sat on needs to be reviewed, imo.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

70. One.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=153220

Search: "rc this message was hidden"

[seabeyond]

73. "small group of sexually dysfunctional". really disgusting, huh. and we were the problem. POS. nt

[kcr]

41. A lot of times I don't alert because I don't want to deal with the jury

The snarky comments, the 3-3 leave it results. I have to be in the right mood.

[Squinch]

71. For me it's the imp dance in the thread after it isn't hidden.

[Texasgal]

4. Seriously?

YAY! I kept on waiting for a bullshit response from him! I cannot be more happy!

HELL YEAH!

[seabeyond]

6. HELL YEAH!.... sistah. nt

[Texasgal]

9. Hell yes!

[Starry Messenger]

7. That's a good start.

Some may not be as overtly abusive, but they are bigots, just the same.

[Squinch]

10. PAR- FEKKIN'- TAY!!!!!!

That one was obnoxious AND psycho, and a very, very dim bulb to boot!

Wonder what name he'll use when he comes back!

Anyone have the thread that finally did him in? I bet it's a doozy.

[seabeyond]

15. yes yes and yes. it is when

he went after lefty. and then in another thread, carried it a second day. see it i can find for you

[Squinch]

19. Thank you! This is good news!

[seabeyond]

18. thinking he was all over with it. here is a couple threads

this was the first really condescending disgusting post. then he played it for two days

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024752265#post141


second day, starting here i believe.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4759946

[Squinch]

20. What a slimy, creepy pig. He was clearly trying to create pain in the people

he was "advising." He thought he was achieving some upper hand, using the information that the posters had been raped.

That is one evil, sick SOB.

It took waaaaaaaay to long for him to be kicked out.

[seabeyond]

21. sick. yes. and yes. he is trying to hurt women. nt

[TDale313]

11. Great news, long overdue. n/t

[Warpy]

22. Good. Whenever he tried to troll me

I'd leave the post laying there like a rotting fish.

There are some times no answer is the best answer.

[Jamastiene]

25. Good riddance!

Anyone who claims a rape survivor is playing the victim card SHOULD be PPRed. That is incredibly awful to say to someone, considering the lifelong damage rape does to a person.

[seabeyond]

27. he was getting off on it. he was getting off on telling the hof women that experiences in life with

men was what made us so... emotional, or whatever... he interpreted us as. i didnt even bother to read his posts. the first couple sentences would should the hypocrisy and contradictions. he couldnt argue himself out of a paper bag. but the last month and especially the last couple days, you saw him getting off going after women creating them as emotionally damaged. we have two other duers that like to do this to women. not nearly as gleeful in doing it as rc has been.

[Squinch]

29. Give it time. They always lose control in their glee at the distress of others.

[Jamastiene]

32. What I think irks me THE MOST about the aftereffects of being raped

is that we are considered by so many to "have problems" after our rape. They never mention the rapist is the person who had the problems and attacked another human being (although so few consider women human beings, it seems). The rapists are the ones who "have problem" not those of us who have to deal with the very real aftereffects of being raped.

I'd be happy to see all these rape apologists and pro date rape posters* kicked off DU.

*I'm not sure if anyone else remembers the person who admitted to date raping a woman in an OP here on Du and getting away with it in real life and here on DU. I remember it, but lost all of my links.

[seabeyond]

35. this is the point i often make. women have plenty of reason to hate and be fearful of men. mostly,

we process our experiences and get on with life.

yet... there are soooooo many men that hate women. i am told they are fearful of women. i think. what reason do they have to hate women so. and so many men hating women. and why the hell would htey be fearful.

i get if women were in this position. yet we are not. sure, some women hate men, but not much. and not so collective.

looking at the porn and the hate toward women. and so much of society hating toward women. history creating them as liars. every raunchy nasty thing to pin on women.

i figure it is cause men just are conditioned from birth to see themselves as priorities. and women less than human. and their egos to be stroked. their wants to be met. entitled. and when that does not come to pass, .... the hate of not being given, is there.

so many women have experienced this in life. and simply move forward.

[nomorenomore08]

53. I simply do not understand it. Sure I've experienced feelings of hostility toward *individual* women

- usually for stupid, petty reasons, I have to admit - but women as a whole? What did they ever do to me?

I think you're right, in that there is an element of not having their supposed superiority catered to. We see this also with white (usually) men's hostility toward racial minorities, or with straight men claiming the LGBT movement has "gone too far" because gays are considered relatively more equal now.

[ismnotwasm]

36. I remember something like that

It was ugly, if I recall, the person seemed to be confused, and attempted justifying his behavior

[seabeyond]

37. i think the post you are talking about if i remember, started off the "rape week" was a man saying

as teens at parties, he and buddies would rape unconscious girls. they did not see it as rape then. though god only know why raping an unconscious girl did not seem like rape. and he stated that all the guys did it. or some shit.

and no, he has not been kicked off. i do not remember the name. had a southern state in it i believe.

[laundry_queen]

74. It reminds of of the times where

Women who were raped were seen as 'damaged goods' and were to be avoided/scorned. I got that same vibe in that thread - if you were raped, then something is/must be wrong with you. (something I ran into often after I was date raped).

I am so glad that poster is gone. There are far more that need to go also.

[UtahLib]

31. Waaay too long in coming.

He should have been booted when he intimated that JT was lying when she bared her soul concerning her history. He is one slimy little creature.

I can only hope that this banning is an indication that Admin is paying closer attention to garbage more than one poster has felt free to spew here.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

45. ^ yes ^ me too ^

I am still >grr< about the crap in that thread today. This place stinks too high heaven with the garbage.

[UtahLib]

51. I understand the frustration.

I've had to exit some of those threads when the discussions became horribly disturbing and the juries were giving it a pass. Hope we're seeing a new day on DU.

I think the thread BB linked to above is also pretty upsetting. I remember that poster driving a good DUer off the board when I was new here.
She is back but I haven't seen her post as often as she used to.

[BainsBane]

33. OMG, Thank you, Earl G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My alerts did some good. They all came back 3-3, but one juror said that they really thought RC should be PPR'd over his comments to the member. I couldn't agree more.

Good riddance!

[Gormy Cuss]

39. Well deserved.

That post was beyond the pale but certainly not the only one that indicated RC needed to be shown the door.

[kcr]

40. Loooong time coming

[Sheldon Cooper]

56. Great! There's one more name I can remove from my ignore list.

I bet he was greatly surprised, too. He's been allowed to spew his filth for so long, I'm sure he thought he was untouchable.

[MadrasT]

60. Number of times served on Juries: 302 (n/t)

[hlthe2b]

61. And THAT is the heart of the problem with the jury system when the threshold for

blatant misogyny-related PPR is apparently so high. The participation of those individuals on juries is an important reason why a level of sexism on DU continues.

The other revealing statistic from his profile:

Posts hidden by Jury: 0
Total posts: 1047
Percentage of posts hidden: 0%

Yet clearly those unhidden posts were the reason for his ultimate PPR....hmmm

[seabeyond]

63. Point. Thank you. Nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

67. and That is a Problem that needs to addressed. n/t

[LanternWaste]

75. A passage from The Great Gatsby comes to mind in regards to that poster...

A passage from The Great Gatsby comes to mind in regards to that poster...

“I couldn't forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”




But that's being rather generous, too.
