i will ONLY hide racist and rw trolls. gays and women... well, tough, shit.

[seabeyond]

isnt that what i just heard?

now. i doubt the person has ever hidden a sexist post in his life, nor many of the men who cheered. that is not what the OP is about. what it was, was a rally cry to posters that have hidden sexist and homophobic posts in that past.

we were certainly thrown under the bus.

and since this is the feminist forum, and it is a democratic progressive board dependent on the community to stand with gays and women thru the jury, i see no reason i would not discuss this in a feminist forum. you know. an active effort to give the finger to women and gays.

what say you????

1. So soimeone isn't taking the appropriate amount of offense

3. Now now.

5. I have an edit and right as I hit enter, cable out. Not gonna type it on this finger phone.

I think all this and alerting a concerted effort. I have seen a change last week and especially couple days

8. I hope we are not getting tornado. I do not know how to use our tvs. Lmao. Nt

[seabeyond]

4. I thought it obvious. What I am doing is drawing attention to a progressive issue.

You know. Democratic underground. In the feminist group. You know... A finger to gays and women.

Your turn.

So. What are you doing in here?

[mindwalker_i]

9. Just trying to understand the problem

[Squinch]

15. No, your previous post makes it clear that is not the case. At least have the guts

not to try and pass your insult off as something that isn't based on nastiness.

10. Oh, they take plenty of offense

about things they think matter, like the scores of sports games. Insulting human beings because of race, gender, or sexuality, that's free speech, so they claim. So mock our concerns about civil rights. It's always helpful to find out what people do and don't care about.

2. Well ...

that doesn't sound particularly liberal or progressive, when one picks one "ism" over others.

[seabeyond]

6. It isn't even that.

I might suggest there is never hide. Further, a thread of people stating flatly. Never hide

[ismnotwasm]

7. Damn straight

They're all ugly, they all damage society-- possible to the point of no return--(watching Cosmos, got me thinking about the question, "can civilization survive?" Not with those damaging 'isms' in ascendant it sure as hell won't) they're all real and they're all what I strive against. Every one.

11. Clearly that term is contested

I have never seen any signs of liberalism or progressivism from some who claim themselves holier than though. In fact, we were told last week that only right-wingers object to bigoted insults. Left has become right and right has become left. Here is how they define liberal: ME. How they define RW: Anyone who disagrees with or challenges the exclusive privilege of the all important ME.

12. Yep ...

Here is how they define liberal: ME. How they define RW: Anyone who disagrees with or challenges the exclusive privilege of the all important ME.

Individual privacy and personal economic trump collective security/respect. IOWs, the philosophy of that group that I am told doesn't exist on DU.

13. I was just asked to hide a post

that was supposedly racist against white men. I did not comply.

14. Not sure why an announcement had to be made about it.

Can't imagine that one ever did anything different.

Not exactly "news", so pure shit stirring.

Yawn.
