Major difference between expressing one's own opinions freely and Surya Gayatri Jun 2014 #154

if the jury did not agree, there would be no hide. if you take your chances here with homophobic bettyellen Jun 2014 #156

Unfortunately, juries everywhere are notorious for making big mistakes and missing the point... Surya Gayatri Jun 2014 #158

no, I think they go it right. it wasn't satire of bigotry- it was using bigoted words in a rant. bettyellen Jun 2014 #161

So did you alert on meegbear's op? Warren Stupidity Jun 2014 #187

nope. I actually didn't see it, and probably would not have if it was clearly a quote from RP.... bettyellen Jun 2014 #188

That hide yesterday was one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen on DU corkhead Jun 2014 #11

If it was censored, you wouldn't have been able to read it. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #28

But if you can't respond to an OP or kick it, it sinks quickly out of sight. Gidney N Cloyd Jun 2014 #45

As amusing as RP posts can be Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #49

well, someone could always post it again fishwax Jun 2014 #97

I read it before the hide and once it was, the whole thread was disappeared from the Greatest Page corkhead Jun 2014 #48

Actually meegbear's OP was hidden thus the thread was locked. riderinthestorm Jun 2014 #50

Tell it, corkhead. "No business censoring" just about covers it. Surya Gayatri Jun 2014 #155

But he mocked those who agreed with the hide as "delicates flowers" aikoaiko Jun 2014 #12

oops, a bit hypocritical, that. bettyellen Jun 2014 #21

Have there been alerts on the threads that criticize his language? riderinthestorm Jun 2014 #32

there was a lot of venom directed toward those merely voicing their opinions.... bettyellen Jun 2014 #46

I don't agree with telling anyone to STFU but that's different than what happened to meegbear's OP riderinthestorm Jun 2014 #57

meh. I don't get that a hide is the end of the world like some people do. I've met Meeg, and bettyellen Jun 2014 #60

You do know that you get banned from DU for hidden posts right? riderinthestorm Jun 2014 #92

And Meeg is a grownup who knows this is a moderated site. Not sure what the problem is. bettyellen Jun 2014 #118

Good Capt. Obvious Jun 2014 #29

You would think he and people here would be more upset boston bean Jun 2014 #35

You don't get to decide this HERVEPA Jun 2014 #38

I will, thank you. Even in this email Rude is defensive about it. boston bean Jun 2014 #39

I'd think they'd be more upset by that if I thought they were stupid. JVS Jun 2014 #53

They get to criticize him, he gets to criticize them too LadyHawkAZ Jun 2014 #131

He was critiqued, he called DU members names. aikoaiko Jun 2014 #133

The Rude Pundit should probably thank the alerter and 4 jurors. aikoaiko Jun 2014 #134

He called them delicate flowers LadyHawkAZ Jun 2014 #139

The main critics are not calling him a homophobe or bigot aikoaiko Jun 2014 #170

No, he was CENSORED. Warpy Jun 2014 #178

As much as any other jury hide which really isn't much of a censor. aikoaiko Jun 2014 #181

That's a dumb response that had zero relation to what I said. You must have hit the reply button seaglass Jun 2014 #78

Some of us did notice the play on words, but the 'outrage' was so intense, it was difficult to sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #34

what was the interesting new information about the Cheneys in that rant? That he is a lying POS bettyellen Jun 2014 #54

No 'we' do not 'have that information'. Some of us do but if we all had it the War Criminals would sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #62

Well, then YOU are learning things from the rants. Most Duers have been aware for years though. bettyellen Jun 2014 #67

"No one is trying to shut down RPs blog"... druidity33 Jun 2014 #140

you'd be wrong to alert on most of his work. but seeing women called c*nt here is one reason a lot bettyellen Jun 2014 #148

would you rather druidity33 Jun 2014 #159

most of it is fine. it should not be about the person, I don't think. and that is too often the bettyellen Jun 2014 #164

so he crossed a line here? druidity33 Jun 2014 #165
