I saw the name come up in some recent threads, MineralMan Nov 2013 #7

I like to look at DU posters' journals. Laelth Nov 2013 #10

I think the default is that all your OPs go to your journal Fumesucker Nov 2013 #15

I think you can turn that off, though. MineralMan Nov 2013 #22

As I said, I left it that way Fumesucker Nov 2013 #24

I am sorry it came to that as banning a long time DUer is never easy or simple. uppityperson Nov 2013 #40

Members ban themselves. That one was a particularly nasty piece of work, sees women as 'sluts'. Ikonoklast Nov 2013 #43

Thanks for doing the legwork. Puglover Nov 2013 #114

Good. His naked hatred of women was disturbing. Sheldon Cooper Nov 2013 #83

Which seems like a gigantic blind spot, for someone otherwise so sensitive to perceived bigotry... nomorenomore08 Nov 2013 #85

Doubly mysterious considering bigotry against the LGBT community has sometimes contained stevenleser Nov 2013 #87
