I'm pretty hacked at a DUer

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

Right now.

Did everything in a post BUT actually call me a liar.

Have you ever experienced this?
What did you do?

Me? I think I was civil but curt and of course probably too righteous. Lol!
Don't know if I'll get alerted on. I cursed but not "at" them.

I felt like the person was picking on me too but I did not alert.
Big girl here with big girl panties on.
Gonna take care of it my way either way. And OWN it ...

People are scared and feeling under siege so take it for what it is. We need to stop the infighting, fighting the Bernie vs. Hillary stuff. This is us vrs. crazy.

I've been on DU since 2001 and I've alerted twice, and the first time was because the other person made a very overtly racist remark. I understand clearing out the trolling, but come on.

Problem is, it depends who you get on the jury.

And you can block that person.
You'll no longer see their post, but they will see yours.

To see if he/she decides to reread the original and see my point. I replied directly to him/her so notification of response was given same as I got.

But thx for the reminder. I will use if need be!

And then the person did a nani nani nani


That "adult" post remains.

Pretty sure I still won't be alerting. Ever. Got my say to that person and confirmation that they read what I said.

But I have had a few replies that I was not happy about, rude or missed my point. I just moved forward.


Peace

Good one.
That word can't have two meanings anymore, huh?
And I refrained from "pissed", too.
