1. oh boy...

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. No popcorn here. He dared me. I took him up on it.

Now, I'm moving on. Hope you're having a great day.

[quinnox]

14. I see that

Never dare you on anything, this is what that tells me!

[Warren Stupidity]

2. I alerted on that shit op. Hopefully the idiot will be gone soon.

On the other hand it is quite likely your op will be locked by the gd hosts.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Probably. No big deal.

[Warren Stupidity]

17. here you go

At Wed Oct 23, 2013, 02:34 PM you sent an alert on the following post:

My letter to the feminist who banned me..
http://www.democraticunderground.com/111410917

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

YOUR COMMENTS:

"and other harpies if I left any out"
"Bunch of fuckin losers.."
"frumpy and I bet less than attractive fat harpies."
Please hide this post and ban this jerk.

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Oct 23, 2013, 02:38 PM, and voted 6-0 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Is there any doubt about this guy? Ban him!
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Bye jerk. I don't always agree with the crew you are calling out, but they don't deserve insults and sophomoric crap from you.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: And you left absolutely no question as to why you were banned from the group. I personally think this post completely crossed the line in the totality of DU. I hope this gets seen by the Admins.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: I'm a man, and this is an easy hide. I also agree he should be banned too.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: I assume this person has been banned already. Disgusting enough as a post, but to PM this garbage?

Thank you.

[NoOneMan]

30. The frumpy thing was definitely an over the top, baseless assumption

[Quantess]

134. well what was he supposed to think?

None of those DUers called themselves "fitwoman", "workoutchick", "toned lady" or "flat abs chica".

Doesn't everyone with an athletic physique choose a name that tells the world about it?

[NoOneMan]

140. Haha. That's one take

I think he just shallowly assumed mean, bitter people are ugly. There are plenty of "pretty" people like that too.

Bringing in attractiveness sort of undermined the main point in my opinion. But hey, everyone has opinions

[Warren Stupidity]

144. In my next life my user name is GiantEnormousHugeThickPenis.

[DonCoquixote]

57. The Jury system actually WORKED for once?

SHIT! No I can expect the law of gravity to be repealed, cats and dogs living together, archangels of the apocolypse to have Barbecues on my front lawn, and all other armageddon style stuff..

oh, and pigs flying!

Sarcasm tag should not be needed, but just in case
sarcasm

[lillypaddle]

116. hmmmm

Actually I thought he had some good points. Unless you've been the brunt of these people's aggression...

[NoOneMan]

129. Oh yeah, being the target isn't fun

Quick hint: its best to ignore the strawmen/mis-characterization/demonizations and bow out immediately. The longer you try to set the record straight, the uglier it gets.

Another hint: don't go near those posts with a 10 foot pole to start with

[NuclearDem]

20. Which op are we talking about?

[Warren Stupidity]

25. see my reply right above your question.

[NuclearDem]

28. Gotcha, thanks.

[polichick]

3. Why post a pm?

[Pretzel_Warrior]

8. does seem bullying type of behavior

[NoOneMan]

26. Just a tad

Now lets see if everyone included chimes in with insults.

Quick! Duck! They're coming

[get the red out]

42. I agree

It is sad.

[Posteritatis]

77. People who send PMs like that don't get to whine that particular defense. (nt)

[Squinch]

92. Re-posting a pm that the sender has already posted is bullying behavior?

That's very delicate.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

96. and his post was hidden, yes?

[ScreamingMeemie]

97. He dared me. I took him up on it.

Simple.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

103. no worries. I am not offended by what you posted

but then, I tend to have a little less delicate sensibilities than others on DU

[Squinch]

102. So? It's bullying behavior?

[Warren Stupidity]

21. because the pm is revolting too

you send private hate mail here expect it to not be so private.

[REP]

33. From the charming epistle:

Let’s see you post this letter in it’s entirely without changes... Come at me if you have the balls or is that ovaries?

[Kurska]

45. Doing things against the rules, because an angry person you don't like told you to

Is probably not the best idea.

[REP]

62. Posting DUMail isn't against the rules.

[Kurska]

70. Pretty sure it is in general discussion at least.

I can't speak for the rules of other boards.

It is especially so when the intent is to "call out" someone, as was the case here.

Obviously I'm not heart broken about it, fitman deserves to be banned.

[REP]

74. No one has sent an alert about this thread

I'm a a GD Host.

[Kurska]

143. Aw-shucks, you just had to say that.

Now I feel like the guy in dirty harry. I gotta know.

[DURHAM D]

117. It is absolutely NOT against the rules.

In fact, the best way to deal with a bully is to expose him/her for all to see.

[Kurska]

133. Calling out in against the rules

That was what Meta was for, meta no longer exists.

[Squinch]

75. See post 17. Fitman posted his pm first. It's already been posted.

[ScreamingMeemie]

101. I actually offered him a space on my couch and some food yesterday if the need ever arose...

So there's that.

[last1standing]

58. I once posted a PM from an attacker.

She sent me a PM full of insults and invective completely unsolicited; in fact, I had never PM'd her in the past. She felt PM was a way to write cruel comments that would otherwise get her banned. I copied and pasted it with no remorse and have no regrets, now.

This idea that PMs or emails are sacrosanct, and therefore an acceptable loophole in the need for civil behavior, puzzles me.

[Squinch]

71. The guy who wrote the pm posted it. This is just a comment on it.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

4. yikes!

the mask comes off in a big way.

[justiceischeap]

5. Just want to comment in case it doesn't get alerted and hidden

so I don't have to participate in any juries.

[Laelth]

7. IBTL. Sigh. That's unfortunate. n/t

-Laelth

[Kurska]

10. There isn't enough popcorn in the world for this thread

Mod pls, don't lock this it could be the biggest DU shitestorm of all time.

Aren't we allowed to have a little fun?

[quinnox]

39. lol

[REP]

11. No surprise there

I've already predicted the demise of **itman.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Yep.

[kcr]

12. What a piece of work.

I figured that one was a troll

[NuclearDem]

15. Hahahahahaha

Someone's hurt over getting kicked out of HoF.

[Blue_Tires]

16. yeah, mr. fitman has a pretty entertaining post history

[Nuclear Unicorn]

18. I applaud his wife but damn, he takes tremendous strides to

reinforce the dueling acrimony and come off as hostile and insulting as possible.

Truth be told SM, you probably should have just alerted on the PM and left it at that. It's how I dealt with a foul, harassing PMer recently. I'd hate to see Prince Less-Than-Charming draw any satisfaction from you taking blowback from the mods or a jury.

[ScreamingMeemie]

48. Probably.

But you can ask my parents, I was never one to turn down a dare. It's the frump in me I guess.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

52. I double dog dare you

to hold him down and dribble spit until it almost touches his face and then suck it back up again.

[AmBlue]

83. LMAO!!

My computer keyboard and I are both very grateful that I wasn't drinking coffee when I read that.

[City Lights]

19. Wow.

That's a real jaw-dropper. Literally.

[Marrah_G]

22. ermmmmmmm

I have a very bad cold and finally got some nyqiul.... I think I just voted to hide this thinking I was hiding a post from that guy instead of one copying and pasting a pm from the guy.... sorry....

For what it's worth, I hope the admins look at that pm.

edit: nevermind, the one I voted to hide WAS from him, not from you.... whew

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. It's okay. I just took his dare.

[trumad]

23. fitman---more like little man

What a douche

[DisgustipatedinCA]

37. Alerted.

Kidding...was just remembering your post from yesterday.

[trumad]

40. Yeah---couldn't help myself

I think I'll be OK with this one.

[Warren DeMontague]

27. Perhaps we should petition admin to reopen meta.

Some people really, really, really really seem to miss it!


What would DU be, without a place for DU to discuss DU? It's so damn INTERESTING!

[trumad]

34. God I miss Meta

I had so much fun knocking down the boys who cry about women on a daily basis

Like fitman.

[Warren DeMontague]

36. I can tell!

Good times, huh.

[Kurska]

35. Personally I loved Meta

It was an even more vile and confrontational place than most boards on 4chan.

We should, as a community, feel proud of that collective accomplishment.

[quinnox]

43. + a gazillion!

WE NEED META BACK!!!

[Nuclear Unicorn]

69. I was tinking the same thing with all the "Stop posting X content" threads. n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

73. Apparently that thing when meta went down from Skinner to the GD hosts about "be ruthless"

with meta-type threads, has been forgotten, or disregarded.

Oh, well, looks to me like meta's back, and now it's just called GD. Happy day!



Or something.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

82. "'be ruthless' with meta-type threads, has been forgotten, or disregarded."

Or maybe it's like a 4/20 protest: they're too many to arrest.

[randome]

29. Encoded stream of consciousness ranting.

Watch for dust bunnies.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]You should never stop having childhood dreams.[/center][/font][hr]

[Shrike47]

31. That is a startling pm. I had no idea he was like that.

[Prism]

32. Come at me, bro!

He's occasionally entertaining in his way, but I'm surprised the ban hammer hasn't come down yet. He's been misogynistically trolling for awhile now.

[xfundy]

38. What I find amazing is that all these 'real men' who claim to love women so much

sure do hate them simultaneously.

[Laelth]

49. Bingo!

If you can figure that one out, you can explain most of the insanity of the 20th Century and the present. IMO, that is the central issue of our time.

-Laelth

[Squinch]

84. I think all those "real men" who claim to love women so much but who

simultaneously hate them have no choice but to claim that they love women. Otherwise they would have to face what they really are. And that would be too disturbing.

[KentuckyWoman]

41. Sounds like a Boortz rant gone bad.

Probably get locked but thanks for posting. That pile of mess was pretty funny.

[trumad]

44. Has an ego as well..

He posted this in the errrr Men's Group:

I'm 51 and really got into working out 2 years ago

7 days per week workout schedule..4 days weights..down to 195 lbs on a 6-2 frame..32 inch waist.


I'm happily married but women my age do hit on me..way more than when I was younger and fit..get a lot of compliments.

So many guys my age are overweight so I guess I stick out.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

53. bahahhaah! as a male, I gotta say. wow.

[Avalux]

59. Oh boy - narcissist in action.

Of course there's nothing wrong with working out and looking good at 51, but geez...the guy sounds like a self-absorbed teenager.

[trumad]

63. Guess he kind of stands out.

snarf.

[Blue_In_AK]

65. Oh, I saw that stupid post.

I didn't realize it was the same smug d-bag.

[pipi_k]

107. I'll bet

he doesn't...."stick out"...as far as he thinks he does.

[DonCoquixote]

46. Oh geez

Men like this give all men a bad name.

[joeybee12]

47. Wow! He has an awesome wife AND pretty much supplies ALL the food banks in his area!

With the food he grows himself.

That's what he told me when he got all upset about me not seeing his point about hating the woman who stole food because she had no money...no excuse for her thievery I guess since great people like him make sure no one goes without!

Why would you want to get someone like that banned!!!

AND

[Make7]

50. Who the hell is 'fitman'?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=301655&sub=trans

[Kurska]

67. Adios muchacho

Looking forward to figuring out who his sockpuppet is.

[Warren DeMontague]

79. There seems to be a theory making the rounds that he was a retread of sorts.

Hope you don't have to jump through too many hoops to figure out who.

[ismnotwasm]

89. Clever

[Make7]

94. Ah, I see. Thanks. ( n/t )

[progressoid]

122. heh...

[DURHAM D]

127. LOL Thanks Warren.

I was hoping you would figure it out and post your thoughts.

[Warren DeMontague]

130. I don't know, I'm going on a juror's comment, actually.

Some folks have already poked holes in that theory, and I was never familiar enough with certain folks' lounge activities to really have a handle on their patterns anyway.

But it strikes me as a possibility.

[JI7]

51. what a fucking loser, i have been noticing that one's posts for a while, pretty sure it's a banned

poster or one that has mulitple names .

there have been a few who come on bragging about some fake girlfriend or wife and how successful and great she is while spouting hate against women who post here.

it could be the same one.

[Phentex]

54. BANNED before I finished jury duty on another of his posts!

No surprise.

[Phentex]

61. Update: 6-0 to hide...

no longer fit for the community.

[Ohio Joe]

55. Skinner took out the trash...

Another from the 'mens' Group gets their pizza.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

135. Funny, because that wasn't his favorite group

Oh well, don't let facts spoil a cool story, Joe.

[Ohio Joe]

146. Nor did I say it was...

He did post there, he did not get blocked from the Group so he was welcome and he was another one from there who was banned for being misogynist.... I see it is your favorite group though... Fascinating.

[JI7]

56. glad you posted it, confirms everything i thought of that one

[trumad]

60. Death by Misogyny

Hope he doesn't beat his wife over it

[REP]

66. It's okay if he does; RealDolls don't feel pain.

[11 Bravo]

93. Yeah, but his inflatable Babette is certainly at risk!

[NuclearDem]

64. SKINNER used BANHAMMER!

It's super effective!

Wild TROLL fainted!

[Squinch]

68. Poor dear. The other kids weren't nice to him, so he called them names and

ran away.

Wonder how that wife describes him. Or those women he seems to be keeping in binders at work.

[Electric Monk]

72. Maybe you should self-delete so as not to give that asshole even more attention like they crave?

Especially since they've already been banned, now.

[REP]

78. Sunshine is a good disinfectant.

[Electric Monk]

85. Ok, but they're already PPRd. What more do you hope to accomplish by keeping this going? nt

[REP]

95. It's not my thread. Just making an observation.

On edit: and post #87

[tammywammy]

76. Since I first noticed him, I've always thought he was jerky.

Oh well, glad he's gone.

[JI7]

80. i think it was that Galileoreloaded douche

[Quantess]

81. Here's a real gem of a hidden post:

The people I posted about

do more harm than good for the women's movement..but too into themselves to realize it.

Yes,, you man haters on the very far left..that means you..real women laugh at you..

Oh good grief. Actually, fitman... I'm laughing at your asinine post. Here's to hoping you don't have too terrible of a hangover tomorrow.

[Nye Bevan]

86. And on top of everyone elses' comments,

he misspelled "asinine".

[kestrel91316]

108. He misspelled half the words he typed. I told him I didn't think a veterinarian wife

would go for an ignoramus like him. I didn't actually put it that way, but in retrospect I should have.

[lostincalifornia]

87. I guess you have never gotten a lower salary or denied a job because of your gender.

You deserve to be banned.

Actually, the republicans would be a better fit for your view

[REP]

98. The OP or the now-banned fitman?

[HappyMe]

88. Oy.

At least the zombie/sock is gone.

[lostincalifornia]

90. one day when she may tell you to f*ck off also

[Hekate]

91. As Spock would say: "Fascinating"

I seem to have missed all the excitement that led up to this meltdown. and IBTL
Hekate

Pretty sure that this will be locked, but I'm always up for a dare.

Actual PM from my own favorite DU storyteller...fitman

snip-

Copy of pm mail to to seaybeyond, gromycuss, sheldon cooper, redqueen, ismnotwasm, screeming meemie, baines bane and other harpies if I left any out.
All you man hating girls really crack me up..the only defense you have is ganging up and bullying and banning anyone who disagrees with you in your little world..Your silly and assinine arguments would not last otherwise in a real debate. And yes that proves you are WEAK and full of shit if you have to ban any dissent.
Bunch of fuckin losers..that is all you are..grumpy, frumpy and I bet less than attractive fat harpies..80-100k post on a forum..Seabeyond.. 85,000 post in one year? Are you mental? On disability? WTF is that? Life on the internet is all you have. Get a life srs. Big cheeses in your own mind on a stupid board with 20 other loser women blaming men for all your ills.

Yes I have an awesome wife..she is out making things happen..yes she has encountered sexism in her business..You know what she does? She tells them to fuck off and moves on and goes somewhere else and buys from someone who appreciates her business. Does not complain about it on the internet or cry “I am a victim woe me” My wife is a the real deal leading by action not words.
I have many women in my business world I deal with every day..they would laugh at all of you man hating losers.
Let’s see you post this letter in it’s entirely without changes... Come at me if you have the balls or is that ovaries?

I know I will be banned..don’t care..gotta get back to work anyway.. though it would be fun to debate you w/o fear of being banned for my comments but that would never happen..you could not handle the truth

[kestrel91316]

99. I had him pegged as a troll from the day he showed up here. I also think

he's lying about his wife being a veterinarian. He's borderline illiterate, and a terribly sexist pig. No self-respecting female veterinarian would stand for his sort for five minutes.

[Squinch]

104. That ran through my mind too.

[Bradical79]

100. Wow, what an awful little boy

Not sure what debate about women's discrimination he thinks he's going to win if he is going to open up talking about how unattractive he thinks you might be.

[jimlup]

105. As a man I find that I agree with some of the sentiments expressed here

though not the tone. Don't we all need to just chill? I mean isn't that how we can actually discuss this stuff?

I have found that if I say what I really think on this issue I am liable to get a post hidden. That has only happened once but it was quite curious to me. I realized that I was forbidden from saying certain things in the discussion and I found that curious.

Yes, I am sensitive in to this issue and emotional about it. But I also know that I have some legitimate points to make that I can't make here. It is wonderful to live in la-la land where everyone agrees but it doesn't actually help anyone learn anything nor does it change hearts and minds.

[ScreamingMeemie]

109. Here? In the thread? or the PM?

Because I totally agree that I often dress super crazy frumpy.

[leftstreet]

112. What don't you feel you can express here?

[kcr]

113. Well

It's good to know you thought the tone might have been a bit much, even though you agreed with the sentiments of the likes of: "Bunch of fuckin losers..that is all you are..grumpy, frumpy and I bet less than attractive fat harpies" That's nice.

[Skittles]

106. outing a misogynist

THANKS!

[kcr]

115. And outing a few more. They're starting to show up in this thread.

Of course.

[ismnotwasm]

142. Yup

Whining already too.

[sufrommich]

110. Who the hell is fitman?

Sounds like a teahadist troll.What an ass.

[lillypaddle]

111. Right on, and righteous rant

Most of these people make me want to scream. They're like the right wing fundies who think they own God, only these people think they own feminism. And nasty? They are so downright nasty to anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Now look ... you got me going, SM!

[ScreamingMeemie]

118. Seeing as he addressed the PM to me, as well...erm thanks...I guess?

I did not send this rant, I received this rant.

[lillypaddle]

126. Yeah, I finally figured that out

better late than never?

[kcr]

123. Sure looks that way.

That's certainly how I read it.

[kcr]

141. And yet feminists are so nasty.

Solid logic, that.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

138. Yep

Boy, they really backed the wrong horse.

[Sheldon Cooper]

124. Whooooosh!!!

ETA: still wanna rec this thread?

[sufrommich]

125. Wow, I'm sure you'll get a pat on the head from

the boy's club for that. Good for you.

[lillypaddle]

128. Hey, don't lecture me

If you've never been on the receiving end of some of these people, you have NO fucking idea how vicious they can be. Doesn't have a thing to do with feminism.

[ScreamingMeemie]

131. I don't believe you and I have ever had a discussion here on DU...ever.

Have we? I've been vicious in some way to you?

[sufrommich]

132. Two sentences does not a lecture make.

You sound teahadish.

[kcr]

137. The fact that you would agree with something like this:

"Bunch of fuckin losers..that is all you are..grumpy, frumpy and I bet less than attractive fat harpies." without even batting an eye and you wonder why your dealings with feminists have been so negative. You have no problem with fitman's ranting and calling such nasty names, but you take umbrage when feminists are so nasty? Riiiight.

[Sheldon Cooper]

147. Yep, we're the nasty ones.

Imagine that.

[Sheldon Cooper]

145. +1

[Kingofalldems]

114. Had him pegged last week

In a thread about McDonald's workers and pay he chimed in with 'it takes 10 minutes to fill out a job application somewhere else.' Total freeper.

[dorkzilla]

119. What a flaming asshat

I guess along with working out he's discovered roids with that kind of rage coursing through his body.

[cui bono]

121. Wow.

What an asshat.

No way he has such a great wife, at least not the way he describes her. No self-respecting woman would be with a man like that.

[BluegrassStateBlues]

139. Typical RW misogynist. Good work on pushing his buttons enough to make him out himself. nt
