214. Hi there Number23. I noticed in that thread that you referred to my post to you from this thread...

My post from this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026119475#post209

and yr post about it in that thread complaining about a hide:

Someone "explained" why they voted to hide your post in your other thread but I can't be bothered to reply.

I'm not sure that your accusations of racism were appropriate for that particular thread but there is no doubt in my mind that the person(s) you directed that accusation to were spot on. You would be hard pressed to find a minority poster on DU that has not expressed those same sentiments towards that individual. And I have no doubt that's the ONLY reason your post was alerted on and certainly not because it was untrue.

Firstly, I didn't 'explain' - I read a few posts from you in this thread talking about the hide and claiming that DUers saw things as you did. So I said what I thought as a juror with no allegiances to one 'side' or the other when I looked back through the posts leading up to the alerted post. I posted in good faith and I thought you and I got on well, so I'm not sure why you couldn't be bothered to reply. Not that yr obligated to reply, but usually when people have nothing to say they don't say anything rather than going to a Meta thread somewhere else and announcing it there. The response to you in that thread was strange as well. I can only remember one exchange with the DUer who replied to you and it wasn't unpleasant so I'm not sure where they're coming up with that stuff about me disliking them. That appeared to be a rather random accusation of lack of objectivity. Even if I did dislike them, I'd treat them the way I treat other DUers I actually dislike when I'm called up to a jury for one of their posts. I'd do what I do with every alerted post I'm on a jury for. I'd look at the post and if what they've said is imo worthy of being hidden, I'd vote to hide. If it's not, I'd vote to leave. There's only been once when I backed out of a jury because I decided my dislike was going to cloud my judgement, but I hated that DUer with a passion, which is a rarer than rare thing for me...

Now I have a question for you. In yr post from that thread you claim that Manny and Marr are racists. While I don't tend to read many threads on domestic US politics, I have read enough from both of them to be surprised by that accusation. So, could you supply some links to where they're saying racist things?

Something I didn't get after reading this thread and that thread was after all the stuff along the lines of 'LEAVE ME ALONE!!! DON'T BULLY ME!!!' and being told by several DUers to use the ignore function if another DUer upsets them, why I was reading through that other thread and they're still, over 24 hrs later, talking about Manny. I dunno, my advice would be to get over it and move on because that sort of behaviour doesn't really support their claims of being bullied and stalked.

Note to self: don't post in these drama-fest threads anymore. It makes me feel like the Meta forum's come back
