4. I had my clock cleaned when I started a thread on male suicide months back.

Apparently it is misogynistic to talk about.

9. I think you're just non-flavour of the month as far as that crowd goes...

I mean, every month...

They seem reluctant to engage with me, or, if they do, they are loathe to accuse me of the faults they claim for you.

I've never really understood why. It's not as if anything you've posted is particularly far from what I feel on the subjects of interest to you and I.

I've a nasty feeling it's because I'm gay.

Sarah whatsherface's treatment of you on your suicide thread was possibly the most revolting thing I've ever seen happen to someone on this site. I include the BjornAgainst debacle in that.

Why is it that when I make posts about men I am not inundated with suppositions that I'm making corollary statements about women and/or feminism and Bonobo is?

11. You should have seen the long-since-tombstoned Iverglas

rip into me when I started discussing Asperger's (of which I am one) in some discussion I no longer remember the specifics of.

It was right up there with that disgusting display on bonobo's thread. It was in Meta and has long since disappeared down the rabbit hole but it did contribute to Iverglas finally getting a long-overdue PPR.

14. None of that touches the accusations of pedophilia and incest made against a poster

who dared to write about how he lets his daughter walk around with no shirt on.

I think he was trying to make the point about how he wants his daughter to feel the liberty to take off her shit like men do and he expected support from Feminists who make the very same point.

He never could have imagined he would be accused of incest and pedophilia.

Classy, classy.

15. The disappointing thing is that something like that

doesn't surprise me in the slightest given the people I am certain were involved. There are some very toxic personalities on DU.

and Rolling Stone when I was a teenager. I learned how to sling vitriol from the masters - Michael O'Donoghue, P.J. O'Rourke,and Tony Hendra of the Lampoon and the immortal Hunter Thompson in RS. I have an ample supply of ammuntion ready to deploy.
