Jury fail :( Apparently it's ok to lie about me in the gungeon, but not to call out the lies. [View all]

Calling a DU member an asshole is the kid of rudeness Skinner has asked us all to tone down. Find another way to express your frustration, something above middle school name calling.

Here's the LIE that I was replying to:

That brings Bansalot down to about what, 2 regular posters and a host?

With the host now begging the "taking my stuff and going home" one to "come back, all is forgiven".


Here's the post that DonP was misrepresenting with his lies, that he wouldn't link to, and that now I can't post the link to in that thread since I'm blocked for having a post hidden.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=163638

At this point, I'm sorry I said anything to billh, asking him to be less rude. That was a mistake.

Since I can't win with you anyways, even when being civil and discussing the issue at hand (this sub-thread, for example), I shouldn't have bothered worrying about your delicate sensibilities.




I'm starting to understand why the earlier GCRA hosts ended up quitting DU entirely, because it puts a target on my back and gun humper asshole trolls can simply make up lies about what I have or haven't said, and get away with it.




If you good DUers would like me to continue hosting this Group, could I get a little show of support here? Thanks
