Really?! So now even the Rude Pundit is thrown under the bus by DUers? [View all] riderinthestorm Jun 2014 OP

Well, if you're going to have a rule against 'rude' posts.... Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #1

"Rude" doesn't mean "rude to the evil Bush Cabal," fergawdsake. WinkyDink Jun 2014 #199

A thread which expresses the hope that a woman should suck a "syphilitic dick" Nye Bevan Jun 2014 #3

Where did you get 'syphilitic', other than your own mind? Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #8

Here: Nye Bevan Jun 2014 #11

Ah, then you should alert on that comment. nt Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #12

Uh... the thread is still there, hence you can reference it. It is only the OP that is gone. salib Jun 2014 #128

Correct, but a GD thread that nobody can reply to sinks very quickly (nt) Nye Bevan Jun 2014 #130

Nope, I was referring to this reply in the thread: Nye Bevan Jun 2014 #21

Then you should have alerted on that reply instead. Iggo Jun 2014 #68

I was not the alerter on the OP (nt) Nye Bevan Jun 2014 #103

That's a comment in the thread Gore1FL Jun 2014 #69

By "the thread" I mean the thread as a whole, not just the OP. (nt) Nye Bevan Jun 2014 #106

Fair point Gore1FL Jun 2014 #237

I'll add my voice here. You're wrong. You should acknowledge it. Demit Jun 2014 #84

By "thread" I meant the whole thread, not the OP in isolation. Nye Bevan Jun 2014 #109

And yet you failed to say so and laid the blame on the OP. The word is 'dishonest'. Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #120

I used the word "thread" rather than "OP" for a reason. Nye Bevan Jun 2014 #126

So sorry your delicate sensitivities were offended hueymahl Jun 2014 #92
