It started as a discussion about bigoted language--a post by The Rude Pundit was hidden--and next thing you know, you have hysterical screams of "censorship" and people trying to channel George Carlin. (Wince) The irony was so thick you could cut it. Then it turned into defense of the 'c' world-- RedQueen and BainsBain's can fill you in better, as I trashed every single thread.

It was on of the most epic temper tantrums I've ever seen over language of DU. People condemning censorship while trying to use censorship. And they remain completely clueless

i was thinking the same. i had other issues on my plate and i KNOW you were not all over it. lol. nt seabeyond Jun 2014 #28

LOL! redqueen Jun 2014 #30

Yes, someone else pointed this out to me downthread. intheflow Jun 2014 #29

Oh honey, no apology necessary. redqueen Jun 2014 #31

The mistake is understandable. The misinformation and slams about HoF are so frequent, I am sure Squinch Jun 2014 #36

At least you acknowledged the mistake BainsBane Jun 2014 #45

Egads! intheflow Jun 2014 #62

Yeah jollyreaper2112 Jun 2014 #8

intheflow was talking about something specific. your post is only about vague accusations and seabeyond Jun 2014 #10

We post plenty in GD to do "outreach". This group is specifically for people who already agree redqueen Jun 2014 #11

You know, you're one of the people I like elsewhere on DU. intheflow Jun 2014 #23

and more... good to hear intheflow. i have always enjoyed your posts. seabeyond Jun 2014 #24

I don't think HoF was created until 2012 on DU3. There was the Feminist group in existence before seaglass Jun 2014 #22

Ah, maybe it was another group! intheflow Jun 2014 #26

This group didn't exist then BainsBane Jun 2014 #40

Yeah... I'm so fucking sick of the 'man-hater' canard. redqueen Jun 2014 #55

LOL... you just reminded me of one of the banned troll's terms. redqueen Jun 2014 #39

Someone called me rabid this weekend BainsBane Jun 2014 #43

Goddess that is the stupidest defense of misogynist slurs. redqueen Jun 2014 #49

That pretty much sums it up BainsBane Jun 2014 #57

I saw that post and wanted to correct you on a bit, but didn't want to detract from the main point.. Violet_Crumble Jun 2014 #64

Either an all-female group or a missile. MadrasT Jun 2014 #46

Some people *really* need to get over their obsession with this group. redqueen Jun 2014 #67

Why read a group they consider so offensive? BainsBane Jun 2014 #75

I used to read the men's group. Back when DU3 first started I think many of us expected redqueen Jun 2014 #78

They blocked me BainsBane Jun 2014 #80

No shit, but that's never been their style. redqueen Jun 2014 #82
