Let's talk about Glenn Greenwald

144. It was a list of people,

of which I was just one. If it was just me, I would have hot-tailed it out of there. But it concerned other people who were being maligned. I thought it was awful to call other people out for their views just because they recommended something. It was voted 6-0 to hide. It was that bad.

I never posted any comment on that thread (edit - about the OP content). I rec'd it because I thought that Obama has done more for GBLT than any other president. I have always supported the rights for GBLT. I have gay friends, both male and female. One of them is a very well known gay activist in South Africa. That is why I was shocked to see my name on the list.

What I find very disconcerting on this board is that people are attacked for things they do not say or attitudes they do not have. It happened over and over again during the war in Libya. I supported the NATO assistance not because I am pro-war (Tutu supported the UN action in Libya, but not Iraq/Afghanistan). I was strongly opposed to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars - I sent round tens of hundreds emails (600+) to acquaintances about that war and why it was wrong. I had many arguments with three people in particular about the Iraq war. I likened Bush's aggression to Botha's kragdagdigheid in South Africa - yet some people on this board belittled our support for the Libyans who were being slaughtered by a tyrant as being war-mongers.

People can post any thing they want. What people cannot and should not do is smear or characterize people. Which you have just done.
