P.S. if any Hofers make their way over their, send me a message! My username hasn't changed too drastically between the two sites.

[Doctor_J]

1. why, do you think discussionist will have 20 threads per day on white privilege?

[NuclearDem]

2. If it's open up to actual RW'ers...

[CTyankee]

3. they're probably trying to cook something up already...they are inordinately interested

in our lives...we drive them crazy here...we can do it there, too!

[BainsBane]

24. Right wingers insist on ignoring race.

[riverwalker]

4. what's a "Hofer"?

[NuclearDem]

5. HoF = history of feminism. HOFer, regular poster here.

[Kaleva]

6. It's short hand for Hoofer, a dancer.

j/k!

A nickname for a History of Feminism regular.

[boston bean]

7. We need a tag where we can identify each others posts, under culture... any suggestions?

[sufrommich]

8. I'm willing to out myself.Anyone think thats a bad

idea?

[boston bean]

12. make a new name for yourself. That would be my advice anyhow.

[gollygee]

14. It seems kind of coy

I mean first male and/or white privilege thread that comes up, people will recognize our posting styles and figure out who we are within 10 posts.

[boston bean]

15. who cares, is what I say. Let em spend some time trying to figure something out.

Skinner has suggest we change our names. So, I did.

I'm not hiding anything, I could really care less what they think.

[gollygee]

16. yeah fair enough

At least it'll keep people having fun, trying to figure out which of us is which.

[boston bean]

17. I don't think you can actually just sign up with your DU handle. It won't let you.

But if I read correctly you can email admin and they will set it up for you if you really really want to use you DU handle.

[hlthe2b]

33. Given RWers are going to be "openly" invited, I'd say choose a new name.

We all know how they love to retaliate against those with whom they disagree.

[CTyankee]

9. Exactly what is a "tag" in this context?

I'm a little confused...

[boston bean]

10. If you go to the culture tab, you will see a tag for feminism

if you click on the tag (feminism) it will show all post with that tag.

So, if we want to have a tag that denotes things that would be of interest to us, we could create one.

[CTyankee]

11. Thanks! Will do!

[hlthe2b]

30. It has already become an "attack" site against feminists and this group in particular--usual players

http://discussionist.com/10152243

[BainsBane]

31. Yep, some of our fan club

current and banned. I'm hoping as more non-DUers join that will fade away.

[BainsBane]

25. I think it becomes clear based on argument

Unless people are trying to deliberately conceal themselves.

[boston bean]

27. I'm not sure I understand.

I was suggesting a way for people to be able to locate discussions that may be of interest to them.

[BainsBane]

28. Oh, I see

Well as of now there aren't very many. Feminism fits under culture. That is only one page of posts.

[wryter2000]

13. You can't send a message until you have 50 posts

It may be a while until I get that high.

[boston bean]

18. go do some + 1's or -1's whichever is necessary! LOL

[BainsBane]

26. Not over there.

[Sheldon Cooper]

19. Now that the "progressive" side of the spectrum had been fully monetized,

it's time to give the wingnuts their very own forum. Get money from everyone!

[Gravitycollapse]

20. I already have such a difficult time dealing with the idiocy at DU.

I can't even imagine doubling down like that.

[MadrasT]

21. Yeah, no kidding.

It doesn't even sound slightly fun to me.

[ismnotwasm]

22. I made a new name

But I'm waffling on posting there. Do I really want to discuss anything with out racist, misogyinist homophobes?

[BainsBane]

29. That site has some folks who were banned here

Last edited Wed May 14, 2014, 12:43 PM - Edit history (1)

and others one might use those terms to describe. Or did you mean with racists . . .

[ismnotwasm]

32. No I mean out

As unashamed unapologetic, no weaseling--- example-- " I believe "The Bell Curve is a true and factual book"-- not that that one has happened, but from what I understand it could.

Or "rape is an adaptive evolutionary response"-- fully expect that debunked garbage to appear.

I'll stop don't want to give our fan club ideas.

[eridani]

23. Haven't yet posted, and already served on two juries

Looks like the board is going to be a regular troll haven.

[hlthe2b]

34. Yes. It is already irritating at times to encounter those with far right views on a progressive site

but at least there is some attempt to mask the extremism. Over there, I suspect not.

[JI7]

35. i have no interest at this point and i expect people like Vastha and others

who were banned will be on there . and other sexists who are still here will feel more free to go even further than they do already.

i might check it out from time to time but at this point i have no interest. it's the same reason i avoid some other forums where i don't care to hear right wing crap.

[BainsBane]

37. Forgot about that one

I spotted RC though. Yeah, I'm sure Vashta and co. are there.

[seaglass]

39. galilieoreloaded is over there. I see no reason to engage the creeps, I was glad when their

asses were booted from here. I really wish they wouldn't be engaged because that is what they live for.

[BainsBane]

40. PM me would you?

With the crib notes?

[BainsBane]

36. I just made myself RFLMAO with a thought

an idea of posting an ATA question asking Skinner if he would accept nominations of people to send over to Discussionist.

[MadrasT]

38. I'm sort of hoping the jerks who are just here to stir shit mostly migrate over there.

The New Shiny Object is certainly attracting some of them.

[sufrommich]

42. There's a lot of DUers showing their true colors

over there,none of them are a great surprise to me.

[JI7]

43. one thing i notice is how fucking old many of these are

when we see some in their teens and 20s we hope and think they would grow out of it. as stupid as they sounded then , they are even worse now .and they wonder why so many women are disgusted by them. of course blame the feminists for saying nobody should put up with this crap. wasn't it better for them when girls were taught to smile and take it.

i remember that one asshole who was attacking a sexual abuse victim on here was in his fucking 70s. no wonder these people are so bitter and angry . they do wish it could be like the "good old days" don't they.

[LanternWaste]

44. And we shall know them by their fruits..

The anonymity between here and there is eye-opening. I honestly can't tell the difference between RW MRA's and LW MRA's. Enough references to HoF have been made for me to infer that a handful of Men's Group posters are over there-- but they sound just like the RW posters in both form and content.

And we shall know them by their fruits...
