Online Bullying – a New and Ugly Sport for Liberal Commenters--The UK Guardian--Oct. 2012

[Zorra]

107. Please, allow me to spell it out for you. I'm sorry if my online technique of communicating may be

a bit too honest and direct for you. So I'd like to make it a bit clearer:

I really, really, sincerely and genuinely, totally don't like racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, etc.

And I really don't like seeing the racist, sexist, or homophobic slurs that help perpetuate racism, sexism, or homophobia used on a progressive board.

So I, and many others, point it out. If that makes me a bully in your estimation, sir,, then,...well, then I'd say your priorities are totally fucked up, from a reasonable progressive point of view, and that maybe someone is hitting a nerve and you maybe should pay attention. OMG, now I've gone and done it, I'm just another one of those silly progressive bully (insert your favorite slur for slutty, outspoken, uppity woman here:__________ just trying to be right. No, it couldn't be that maybe there is some validity and constructiveness to what I, and those minorities of which I am a member are trying to accomplish by pointing out things that might just possibly be actually destructive, could it?

So sorry if I upset you and hurt your feelings when I point out that it seems regressive to call a woman a "c", a black person a "n", or a man a "d". But regression seems to be the current trend in the Democratic party, so I suppose defending and promoting the use of slurs should be expected nowadays.

Oh, no...I'm voicing my opinions, and being a horrible bit bully again aren't I?

What are you, and the rest of the apologists for demeaning language, really defending? And why are you defending it so vehemently and continuously, at the same that time republicans are trying to take away the rights of women, and the Supreme Court is basically deciding if lgbt are to be considered to be legally human?

So, that's what's interesting, and yes, it is true that it was mostly, or all, men who had responded up to that point, and yes, of course I know a woman wrote that piece...it seemed like quasi conservative third way pseudo-progressive tripe to me...just so yesterday, you know,

like Mississippi, 1957...
