Stop me - nah, don't: Preemtive dm to burgeoning flamer/stalker

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Lasher (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

We had our little flare-up, that you wanted to turn into a - whatever it's called, trolling, flame, never-ending thing - and I turned it off from long experience. And, predictably, you've sort of laid low not directly confrontationally but with the Rec here and there to anybody who contradicted me and such.

Long-oooonnng experience tells me you'll keep on and on. This is just to tell you I'm a good person, a good Democrat, good human, and your whatever-beef you've decided to have has nothing to do with me. 20+ years ago a DUer said, "Don't let them run you away."

I don't attack other DU members.

from another DUer. I agree with your last line - we have enough wrong headed, dangerous and harmful people out there to whom we should be directing our arrows. And yes, "don't let them run you away."
