(20,043 posts)my first point...
As to the you looking at the thread--First, my point wasn't to go in and find any ole dumb responses I was very specific to what I talking about. If you wanna just go pull stupid responses I can do that too. But that wasn't my point and wasn't what I was addressing.
Now you point out 71 which I did say was absurd--yes I did. However once it was brought up and OTHER people myself included said well that's a valid point (not they way it necessarily brought up) men are victims--NOT THE GRAPHIC having no men---we were treated hostilely. Which was the point of my response to you.
There was no reason for those of us---many victims--spoke up and said do not dismiss us and treat us rudely when we ask that you include men as victims in this thread. Did you also read in that thread where we were told that if we wanted to talk about me or gay people being victims that we should start our own thread?
I find that completely unacceptable on a progressive board and am shocked you didn't see any of that.
Oh, and for the record
Let's go over that post #3 "Who the fuck said it was?" He was clearly talking about DU--which he stated in post #27 The op stated in post #17 he meant (as he searched the interned not DU) the internet. That was a miscommunication the poster of post 3 thought DU'ers were being accused of that and was clearly shocked.
I imagine if someone posted a graphic that said it's not ok to call a black person the 'n' word --you might get at least one of those if someone thought it was directed at the people of DU
post #30 asked who posted this DU (it's the victims fault) Post #37 (answered by the OP) No one posted this on DU
Again, your first point is less than honest. That person didn't post that being a jerk, they thought it was directed at DU.
I just re-read up to post 71, it wasn't a complete flame fest. It was the who the fuck said that comments, a bunch of agreements, a few more who said that on DU, there was ONE that called the message stupid, a few people talking back and forth. But no where near a flame fest.
Then post 71...and that's when all hell breaks lose. You might wanna re-read that again.
I stand by my original comments.
