Someone Called Me "A Delicate Flower" Once. [View all] MineralMan Jun 2014 OP

Well done. In_The_Wind Jun 2014 #1

Nice story. Too bad it has nothing to do with ChisolmTrailDem Jun 2014 #2

And yet, perhaps it does. MineralMan Jun 2014 #4

It doesn't tkmorris Jun 2014 #18

It absolutely does... FBaggins Jun 2014 #63

There's a difference between a forum thread and someone shouting in person NYC Liberal Jun 2014 #26

But when something is banned or hidden...that eliminates one of the choices. world wide wally Jun 2014 #52

Not on DU. Anyone can view a hidden post, with a single click. MineralMan Jun 2014 #53

Why say this? hrmjustin Jun 2014 #6

I've often found that if I'm unable to see a point, it's usually my own failing rather than someone LanternWaste Jun 2014 #9

I like your cleverly worded insults, at least 10 of them now towards me. ChisolmTrailDem Jun 2014 #11

Awww... there, there... chervilant Jun 2014 #45

I don't need a hug. I'm not bothered, just amused. And I really do think ChisolmTrailDem Jun 2014 #47

Well, I see the connection deutsey Jun 2014 #16

I wouldn't click the button, actually. MineralMan Jun 2014 #21

Oh, I don't know... deutsey Jun 2014 #28

Indeed. The Alert and Jury option would have been nice, too, MineralMan Jun 2014 #30

I don't agree that it's an "insignificant thing". cheapdate Jun 2014 #40

Then, I suggest you vote to leave if you are on a jury MineralMan Jun 2014 #43

Yes, the fate of an alerted post is decided by a randomly selected jury. cheapdate Jun 2014 #55

I, too, see the connection Glitterati Jun 2014 #24

This whole episode has not went we'll for you, but keep doubling down! LOL! nt Logical Jun 2014 #41

How dare you try and step all over that man's 1st amendment rights to be as ugly as he wants to be. Tuesday Afternoon Jun 2014 #3

I know. Rude of me, wasn't it? MineralMan Jun 2014 #5

Am I the only to notice that because the man had a certain amount of wealth he was allowed Tuesday Afternoon Jun 2014 #13

Yes, that bothered me, too, after I talked to the owner, MineralMan Jun 2014 #17

I think this OP is a microcosm on the state of affairs in the USA and the world in general. - Tuesday Afternoon Jun 2014 #20

Thanks. I'm glad you noticed my intent. MineralMan Jun 2014 #22

Did you have to click on him to hear his bilge, or were you exposed ... 11 Bravo Jun 2014 #25

Not even remotely in the same ballpark, but you knew that already. bluesbassman Jun 2014 #14

I really don't give a shit what RP writes. I don't read his crap. As someone before me has already Tuesday Afternoon Jun 2014 #15

Of course you can comment on any thread you wish to. Who said you couldn't? bluesbassman Jun 2014 #27

of course, you're entitled heaven05 Jun 2014 #42

Well done sir! hrmjustin Jun 2014 #7

"Sometimes, being a "Delicate Flower" is not such a bad thing, I think." NCTraveler Jun 2014 #8

Well, I see what you're saying. MineralMan Jun 2014 #10

Understood and get it. NCTraveler Jun 2014 #12

Thank you. greatlaurel Jun 2014 #19

I'm also capable of blue-tinged language. MineralMan Jun 2014 #23

Yeah, going into the Army made me a real potty mouth too. Rozlee Jun 2014 #48

You know, when you're dictator, you can ban that kind of language. MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #31

But, you see, I have no desire to be a dictator of any kind. MineralMan Jun 2014 #32

now they just open carry Skittles Jun 2014 #33

There is that issue, for sure. MineralMan Jun 2014 #34

Not surprising at all. NuclearDem Jun 2014 #58

Part of the problem is the actual language used. jeff47 Jun 2014 #35

My opinion of the phrase is irrelevant. MineralMan Jun 2014 #36

first amendment rights only apply to government. there are no private 1st amendment rights nt msongs Jun 2014 #38

That's absolutely correct. MineralMan Jun 2014 #46

I'll assume you meant to reply to my original post with this. MineralMan Jun 2014 #60

K/r from another Delicate Flower. 840high Jun 2014 #50

Well, if I am eating and reading DU and something about it bothers me I stop reading DU and finish CBGLuthier Jun 2014 #56

Well, see, I didn't tell him to do anything. MineralMan Jun 2014 #59

Your actions were fine, I would also be inclined to approach the host/hostess and say something like yellowcanine Jun 2014 #61

Unfortunately, in this situation, the manager was also the bartender. MineralMan Jun 2014 #64

You realize that when you go into the public sphere..... DeSwiss Jun 2014 #62

The Rude Pundit can do whatever he chooses on MineralMan Jun 2014 #66

Rec'd for a good story. But I still don't agree with that jury. n/t nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #65

OK. Many people don't agree with that jury. MineralMan Jun 2014 #67

Understood. There is a need for limits and boundaries, however fuzzily defined. nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #69

As far as I'm concerned, there is no "taterguy exception." MineralMan Jun 2014 #71

Gotcha. I would hate to see TRP lose his place on DU, but I understand the need for civility nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #72

Thanks for the post. noamnety Jun 2014 #68

Thanks. I know some who have left for that reason, too. MineralMan Jun 2014 #70

Well done. A story applicable to any number of public venues. Hekate Jun 2014 #73

Let's reimagine that story tkmorris Jun 2014 #74
