Is this blog post intolerant of the transgendered?

168. Hold on

What do you think it is you are doing? You feel entitled to gossip about current DUers based on something you found on another site?

In case anyone is wondering, that BB is not me and the only way I heard about that blog is through posts like this and a member of the men's group who sent it to me. Nor do I give a shit what banned or current members write off site. I know of nothing in TOS that restricts what a member can say on other websites. Anyone can do a Google search and dredge up stuff about members here, whether you or others. The question is why? What purpose does it serve? I'm not commenting on the content of that blog because truly I don't give a rat's ass. What does bother me is that people who feel entitled to talk crap about DUers right here and now in this thread.

I'm trying to figure out the issue here. You seem upset someone was talking about DU members offsite, yet you feel completely entitled to spend this week talking shit about DU members in this thread. Earlier you gave some sort of lame excuse that a feminist was "attacking women" and you in particular some time in the past, yet in this thread you have devoted yourself to nothing but attacking other women. Every point people have complained about, they themselves have repeated in this subthread, including spreading the same malicious gossip you claim to abhor. I agree that gossip accusing someone of molesting a child is awful. When you repeat that gossip, and even put it in a subject line, you do exactly what you claimed the people who first raised it did. You think yourself entitled to do so because it serves your cause of showing how awful a certain member is, but in the process you continue to malign that male member's character.

I have seen you engage in gossip about the same DUer on at least four occasions. I would like to know what you think this is supposed to accomplish? If you think she should be banned, the accepted procedure is to PM the administrators. However, above you proudly proclaim you have never tried to have this member banned. Then what is the point of this? To get as many people as possible to share your antipathy toward that member? Good for you. You got some kids to sit with you at the lunch table. Happy now? My guess is not.

I can tell you for a fact that member neither talks nor thinks about you at all. If fact, I PMed that person to let her know what you were up to, and she was so unconcerned she didn't even bother responding. Seems to me she is living in your head rent free, and that is no one's doing but your own. Why anyone would devote so many of their waking hours to cultivating enmity with strangers on the internet, or anyone, is beyond me. It must take lot of energy to carry around that kind of grudge.
