they were constantly "gaming" the system posting insults then editing and self deleting bettyellen Jul 2014 #21

Someone sent me the threads. IdaBriggs Jul 2014 #43

I think Earl G and the majority of feminists here got it right- he was a deliberate shit stirrer who bettyellen Jul 2014 #61

Bettyellen has it exactly right. He was very clever in putting a toe over the line and then MADem Jul 2014 #185

Well said Strelnikov_ Jul 2014 #409

How is whether you personally know who WCGreen is relevant? BainsBane Jul 2014 #62

The post I was replying to stated he had insulted WCGreen. IdaBriggs Jul 2014 #99

It appears the administrators disagree with your assessment BainsBane Jul 2014 #107

nonsense, many people asked him diplomatically to delete or apologize. you may never have seen it, bettyellen Jul 2014 #128

this wasn't the fault of "offended feminists". it was his own. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #63

Ah, passive aggressive insults, aimed my way. IdaBriggs Jul 2014 #118

really?? PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #126

He also had a long history of disruptive .sig lines that Admin removed REP Jul 2014 #406

sexists also, if I recall correctly. bettyellen Jul 2014 #246

"libertarian"? BainsBane Jul 2014 #454

it really took that host's blatant admission of discrimination + the silly "one strong leave" crap bettyellen Jul 2014 #510

Hi, itsrobert. Sissyk Jul 2014 #527

Please don't read into things that are not there. Sissyk Jul 2014 #526

What exactly is your point regarding this op? Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #497

that hosts have become convinced that the SOP means nothing at all by a few hosts that bettyellen Jul 2014 #509

I'm like Warren (don't pass out Warren). Sissyk Jul 2014 #514

And your proof of this is this post Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #517

Wait! Do you mean to say host didn't vote to leave that thread and anyone saying they did ... Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2014 #522

Looks that way to me. Funny how she ignored that thread. Autumn Jul 2014 #534

There isn't any discussion of locking the thread that I see BainsBane Jul 2014 #523

There was no discussion because a jury hid it before anyone could post on it. maddezmom Jul 2014 #525

Okay. Understood. Thanks. BainsBane Jul 2014 #533

As opposed to the Grave Dancing Thread with over 500 posts. IdaBriggs Jul 2014 #563

A current member with 5 recent hides whose posting privileges have been revoked. IdaBriggs Jul 2014 #606

There is no decent rationalization for grave dancing. It's right off the junior high schoolyard. n rhett o rick Jul 2014 #654

I beg to differ, sometimes grave dancing threads are quite rational when... Spazito Jul 2014 #655

It's mob behavior and it's beneath liberal Democrats. nm rhett o rick Jul 2014 #656

on THAT one topic perhaps. Generally, a few hosts enjoyed beating up on alerters with him. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #282
