In reply to the discussion: *** Help a DUer *** Sunday, 8/4/13 [View all]boston bean
(36,970 posts)27. I can certainly sympathize with your issue here, but
in this case the poster was banned, and longtime Duer dad was used,I believe, to justify the request being made on DU.
I can see your point, but possibly updating this thread, and removing the request from DU, not wishadoo, would be the best path forward.
He posted some pretty nasty stuff against women on DU. He holds some pretty twisted views about women as well. You can still promote him through wishadoo, if you choose, but perhaps DU isn't the place to ask for additional money, when he personally posted some very sick thing here. It was him moreso that made this happen, not the duer alerting.

I'm sorry this is the avenue you feel you need to take. May I offer a suggestion.

if people later found out they'd donated to this, some would be upset if it were kept in PMs

it wasn't classless. the poster's status was part of the story urging donations
