Meanwhile, back at the ranch....

[opiate69]

Equating sex acts (and specifically the male sexual release) with excretory function makes another appearance...
But no, Virginia. There's no patholgy at play there...

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

1. Sex is dirty, mmmkay?

Look, I'm still laughing that someone thought they were the first person to post a male beefcake picture in a men's group hot celebrity thread. "Ooooh we showed them!!! Robble robble, I bet those homophobic scumbags never saw that coming!"

You can't make this shit up.

[opiate69]

2. Oh, I know... Comedy gold, man!

"Oh no! You got your penis in my boobz thread!!!"
http://m.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

11. Well at least it proves that some people don't read the group that closely

Not that those who do, almost obsessively, would attempt to dissuade their pals from making themselves look ignorant. And miss a chance to get on the soapbox and spew the usual bromides about what awful stuff goes on here? Nah.....

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

10. Maybe the poster in question should have avoided the weak ass troll attempt....

....and posted a pic of what really gets them off.



Now there is some porn for ya.

[Hayabusa]

3. And they wonder why

some people think of feminists in general as men-haters. Because their vocal minority has completely soured that pool.

[opiate69]

5. And apparently, somebody is trying to claim that the comment referred to "fetish"..

Who in the HELL would "choose" to be used as a human toilet six or seven days a week "servicing" as many as 6 to 10 different men a day?

Hmm.. Sounds to me like that would make a lot of closeted fetishists.

God, I love when the supposedly educated can't even comprehend simple English. No, Suzie Creamcheese, the meaning of that post is crystal fucking clear.

[Hayabusa]

7. Well, that fetish certainly does exist

but everything in that thread previously makes no mention of that particular fetish.

[opiate69]

8. And I seriously doubt that there are enough men into that fetish

To keep all these prostitutes busy "six or seven days a week, yadda yadda..."
Yeah.. But they'll just keep pretending it's all about the kinksters.

[LadyHawkAZ]

25. Woo hoo! "Fucktoilet" redux!

See, I step away for a bit and miss all the fun stuff!

[LadyHawkAZ]

30. I'm glad to see you've started a new thread

The old one started crashing my browser about 50 posts ago.

[RiffRandell]

4. I don't even want to know.

Like I said, just when I think things can't get any crazier around here (meaning DU) someone proves me wrong.

Yet showing attractive people is considered disgusting.

[opiate69]

6. Yup... Once again, it's to the point of absurdity.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

12. Going down the rabbit hole is fascinating.

Even came across a full fledged whine about this group in the Gungeon of all places.

You can guess who that was.

[opiate69]

13. No shit?? Hell, that might actually make me go have a look lol..

If I can even find it, that is.. That's how often I drop by the pit lol..

[name not needed]

15. Got a link?

[Upton]

17. Right here...

I wonder if this really happened?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1172131721#post98

[Upton]

20. Yep..why am I not surprised?

Less than honest would be an understatement..BIG difference between being referred as an "attention whore" as opposed to a "whore"..I guess a little embellishing must have been in order, because the truth didn't fit the theme this particular poster is fond of pushing...that of how sexist and rotten the Men's Group is.

[opiate69]

21. Too true..

[Upton]

53. Seems some defintions are needed..

Attention whore: a person who behaves in an exaggerated way simply to attract attention.

http://onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning-definition-of/attention-whore

Whore: a woman or male who engages in sexual acts for money

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/whore

Some people may wish to pretend otherwise, but there's a significant difference between the two.

[opiate69]

19. Also... If my uncle had boobz...

Just to clarify, if I were to call a man an "attention rapist" or "attention pedophile" that would be better than calling him a "rapist" or "pedophile"? How about inserting a homophobic or racist slur after attention. That would be so much better? And if I did so, and you commented on it in a thread without using the word "attention," that would make you dishonest? 

[Hayabusa]

22. What?

I can't even...

[opiate69]

23. Right?

[Hayabusa]

24. I know.

That's not how that phrase works. Not even close.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

29. Well, you know their motto....

"I don't fucking care".

They've got it on full display, dismissing what they deem not a real problem.

[Warren DeMontague]

32. The good (good?) news is, okay, now I'm 99.999% sure that some of that is DEFINITELY a put-on.

"thank you very much"

[TreasonousBastard]

33. I played for a while and discovered that...

whatever I said, and in whatever context it was in- I was wrong.

Lessee, a man in the company of women is always wrong, right? Where have I heard that before? It goes back at least to Bob Hope, probably somewhere in Shakespeare.

The thread in question was shut down, so I'll leave it at that.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

35. I think there was someone here who posted....

....about their battles with social anxiety, depression and so forth who was hoping to meet someone and was looking for some tips as to how to go about it. I'm obviously not going to dig up the post.

Of course, the ax grinders and their ignorant minions who've never set foot in here, but play mental Rorschach with everything here twist and pervert and in their mind come up with something different, evil and dark and whiny. Really fucking offensive if you ask me, considering I'm sure they believe they are the most sensitive and caring people known to humankind.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

37. Again, if someone mocked a woman for feeling like that?

Could you imagine?

Of course, I confronted one of the usual suspects about that very idea. Got the usual "Not the same thing!!! It doesn't happen!!! FFS!!! Time to take a break for this place!!! IGNORE!!!" deflect, run and hide bullshit. Dishonest fucking people, and I've had it up to here with every last one of them.

[Major Nikon]

39. Offensive, no. Amusing, yes

It was somewhat offensive when meta was going full tilt driving the torches and pitchfork crowds. Now that the trolls have been sent back to their caves it's just petty and amusing.

40. AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

At Tue Sep 24, 2013, 04:39 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

I think there was someone here who posted....
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1114&pid=10307

REASON FOR ALERT:

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Really OTT insults of other DUers: ignorant, ax grinders, "evil, dark, and whiny." Just mean and bitter. The poster seems very unhappy with DU and should probably take a break.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Sep 24, 2013, 05:17 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Not a fan of Men's but the HOF people who monitor should do what I do and leave them alone. Check yourself alerter.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: ALERTER: Why are you and the rest of you from HOF so concerned about this group. Must you waste jury's time with these frivolous alerts? I don't care for the Men's group, but I don't go in there and look for a reason to get hysterical. Enough already.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I'm not sure this should be hidden. The poster is extremely nasty to other DUers, but doesn't mention anyone specifically. And might I add that if this thread is any indication of the kind of discussion in this group, yuck. I almost expect to see franksolisch posting here.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: I vote for stupid.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: NOT a problem post. It called out no individual. If you think it applies to you, maybe you need to examine yourself.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[name not needed]

50. That's what the sockpuppet accounts are for.

[Kingofalldems]

43. For the record, I was juror #1

My first post here.

[zappaman]

44. Funny, I was #2 and

our comments are remarkably similar...

[Kingofalldems]

45. Amazingly similar. Both of us are great.

[zappaman]

46. Like peanut butter and jelly!

[Major Nikon]

49. Thanks for dropping in and sharing

It's always good to see what the alert trolls are up to.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

47. LOL, mr/ms/mrs alerter....

The "evil, dark, and whiny" comment I would at least thought you'd agree with!

Guess someone has reading comprehension problems.

And ya, folks, I'm not fans of people who mock others with depression/anxiety issues. Which is what that post was about. Sorry.

[Major Nikon]

48. Another brilliant failure from one of our resident alert trolls

It isn't even all that difficult to figure out which one.

What a sad and lonely life to lead. They really should take their own advice but obviously won't.

[Major Nikon]

38. Those who go looking for scapegoats generally find them

Even if they have to employ their old buddy, strawman to do it.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

51. *SIGH*

It appears certain people, who can't read well, have taken a post I wrote earlier tonight (which was alerted on) and have decided once again to construe it to tailor their own purposes.

I wrote, in this post.... http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1114&pid=10307

Of course, the ax grinders and their ignorant minions who've never set foot in here, but play mental Rorschach with everything here twist and pervert and in their mind come up with something different, evil and dark and whiny.

"evil and dark and whiny", in this instance, refers to how they view the rankin file poster here, NOT me calling them that.

Perhaps I should have put the the word "something" before evil, but let's be honest, that wouldn't change a thing, would it?

I know they are reading. They always are. If they cared about honesty, they'd take this into account. You can almost bet they will not.

[Bonobo]

56. They will choke on their own poisonous bile.

Literally, it is poisoning them.
