(57,786 posts)Since they have repeatedly speculated falsely, as is demonstrated by the alert indicating I was Iverglas and another suggesting I was the BB referenced in the Duckies site, when I hadn't even joined DU at that time. That people do not care that they have falsely maligned people reveals the nature of their characters.
I most certainly will not name people. It would be rude, malicious, and hypocritical of me. I will not engage in the same behavior I criticize others for. My point was that this entire discussion is transparently about antipathy toward certain individuals, in part ideologically based, and devoid of principal. It is not a righteous defense of truth but rather, as Skinner so aptly called it, a "meta shit show."
I will also point out I spoke out against a similar swarm on backwoodsbob a week or so ago, despite the fact he and I have had major disagreements and the guy has expressed animosity toward me.
