1. Copying (for archival purposes)

I'm pretty certain that this post will be locked ...
removed, and will likely, get me banned.

I have been engaged in "debate" with someone here, whom I once had some respect; but I must say ...

CALI ... it takes a special kind of coward to go into other threads, multiple other threads, and deliberately mis-state my position. Yes, I know you know that you mis-stated my position because I specifically told you so each time you mis-stand my position in the 6 thread where you responded directly to me. So what do you do ... you stop responding to me and mis-state my position in response to another someone else ... (you must have thought I only read your posts).

So Cali ... you are a special kind of coward.

2. Got a stalker eh?

Terrible business.

[NightWatcher]

3. Don't let your feelings get hurt on a discussion board

Before you cry, step away for a day or two.

[Agschmid]

37. The step away is an amazing thing.

[longship]

4. This isn't going to fly.

Not the DU way.

[liberal_at_heart]

5. why don't you put that person on ignore?

[Agschmid]

39. +1

[quinnox]

6. I alerted, but the way jurys are a crap shoot

you might get away with this.

[Ellipsis]

15. Apparently so...

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: While I like this member and value his contributions to the site, it's not okay to insult other members by calling them cowards. There are ways to address such issues without resorting to name calling.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: A regrettable post in poor taste, but does not require blocking.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: not banned... but locked yes.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

[Agschmid]

42. Should be hidden and/or locked.

[NuclearDem]

7. ...

[Harmony Blue]

8. All points of view must be accepted

I do not agree with some of your views, but I do not try to personally attack you as a person. Please re-consider your stance.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

10. That isn't the OP's quibble

[Harmony Blue]

18. Actually that is what it boils down to

so there is nothing more to be said IMO.

[1StrongBlackMan]

29. No ...

my problem is not that he/she disagreed with me ... I have no problem with that. My problem is with his/her posting my name to his/her mis-statement of my position.

[Harmony Blue]

38. You can post to show how your position

was not shown appropriately. That is far more effective than what you are pursuing.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

9. Some posters on DU need to be given a wide berth

Because it gets pretty crazy when a more "devout" member starts going after you.

Peace.

[leftstreet]

16. What's SW?

[Pretzel_Warrior]

20. Oops. Darn iPhone! Supposed to say "some"

Will try to edit.

[kentuck]

11. Why didn't you alert?

I'm not sure this is the best way to handle it?

[jessie04]

12. Sounds like you just have had enough.

I could almost hear the anger in your words.

[flvegan]

13. WORD SALAD!!!! *narf*

[Pretzel_Warrior]

17. I don't think that means what you think it means

That was certainly no word salad.

[flvegan]

21. You son't?

You sure?

[leftstreet]

24. I son't understand

[Pretzel_Warrior]

25. Lol. Yeah. Shouldn't be posting from phone I guess

[quinnox]

14. jury results came back, and yep, they left it 3-3

[NightWatcher]

19. So TOS be damned? We get jury nullification now?

This is obvious and would've been shut down after about a minute before the jury system.

[Harmony Blue]

22. They jury system isn't perfect

but this appears to be a unique situation.

[quinnox]

23. I will post a thread in ask the admin, I think this is a case that jury members should be looked at

the admins can look at jury voters in special circumstances.

[lpbk2713]

32. This could start a trend.

I've seen a few juror's comments lately that I couldn't figure out.

[quinnox]

34. actually, I decided I will just DU mail this thread to Skinner directly

so he can decide what action to take, if anything.

[pinboy3niner]

28. Posts outside the SOP for GD can be locked by GD hosts

Sometimes it takes a while to talk things over.

[Oilwellian]

30. It's a new day on DU

and part of the reason why I no longer donate.

[Marr]

26. Bullshit. I've seen you post flat out lies recently, then refuse to acknowledge they were even

incorrect.

I assume cali called you on one of them.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

27. Isn't calling someone a liar inflammatory?

I've had a post hidden for calling someone that.

[woo me with science]

35. I would say lying is inflammatory. nt

[Marr]

41. This is a call out thread. Why don't you alert me and see if you can score another loaded jury? /nt

[canonfodder]

31. Cali is an individual

I really don't know gender, so, who cares.
Cali can express an opinion just as much as you can.
You can disagree all you want. It doesn't matter.
If you disagree, go for it. Nobody is bullet-proof.

[JesterCS]

33. as my mother used to say, "You can't please everyone" n/t

[Ellipsis]

36. lock this.

[Union Scribe]

40. This thread shows who you are

Not who Cali is. Take your tantrum back to the clubhouse.

[longship]

43. I suggest you self-delete.

You passed the jury test. You shouldn't have.

If you want to make a point here, use logic and rational argument, not ad hominem attacks and name calling.

I respect your opinions here just as I respect Cali's. I do not always agree with either of you. But you are both valued members of the DU community.

The sooner all of us realize this, the sooner this place will start helping and stop hurting.

We've got some work to do here. Let's get it on the hump and work together.

Thanks, friend.
