Feb 2015

both girl gone mad and dbackjon rightfully took me to task....and I am glad that I "got" their point, within the thread. They were right, I was wrong. I'm not gay, so I am glad when a poster reminds me that I need to step back and think.

I've had two other experiences like that on DU....in one, I used a transphobic slur about Ann Coulter that used to be quite common on DU. A PM from a prolific gay poster very gently took me to task, and I was ashamed of myself. I also wondered how I could have been so blind. Deleted the comment and never used it again.

I also used to think it was appropriate to restrict food stamp recipients from buying items like candy and soda.....until I read an OP by a mother here who described the dirty looks she got buying her kids Easter candy after a major family setback. I was wrong, felt the shame, and changed my mind.

Sabrina indicated this was a recent thread....but in fact it's from 3 years ago? Thank you for posting it....

FYI....that hide you got was bullshit.

Is there anyway now that we can be considered not racist? [View all] madfloridian Feb 2015 OP

I remember you calling ME racist and ageist one day. You wrote a thread about me and got mucho sympathy. bravenak Feb 2015 #1

You will have to find that post. I never did that. You misread, misinterpreted. madfloridian Feb 2015 #2

Bullshit. Imma go find it. bravenak Feb 2015 #3

If you can't find it I can help. I was defending older white people you said you would replace. madfloridian Feb 2015 #4

Bullshit. You atracked me all fucking day and alerted and alerted. bravenak Feb 2015 #6

I did not attack you, I alerted once. madfloridian Feb 2015 #9

It was most certainly an attack thread. bravenak Feb 2015 #12

Good for you marym625 Feb 2015 #381

Thanks. bravenak Feb 2015 #382

why don't you link to your claims? ND-Dem Feb 2015 #77

It's a pattern....different incantations got welcomed back to post build in the Education Group. msanthrope Feb 2015 #102

No wonder it doesn't like me. bravenak Feb 2015 #107

Downthread, we are referred to as the "usual suspects, swarming." msanthrope Feb 2015 #115

Better than the 'worst racist on DU' like they said on DI. bravenak Feb 2015 #190

Me or you? Because apparently, downthread, I've offended Glenn Greenwald msanthrope Feb 2015 #201

i think it's me and 23. bravenak Feb 2015 #202

Awesome!! I'll bring the bourbon. nt msanthrope Feb 2015 #206

Who said your post was racist? bravenak Feb 2015 #192

Start here. I never said replace. I repeated what the other person said and continued. bravenak Feb 2015 #10

Not a bad idea for you to post that. It's clear I was standing up for attacks on elderly liberals. madfloridian Feb 2015 #15

I used the word CONSERVATIVE. You wanted to attack and get sympathy. bravenak Feb 2015 #17

Here is the link. madfloridian Feb 2015 #123

Thanks, I'll take a looksee.nt bravenak Feb 2015 #145

Bravenak, you and Madfloridian are among my favorite posters on DU. sabrina 1 Feb 2015 #161

Your comment does not bother me. madfloridian Feb 2015 #170

MF, you don't need to prove anything to me, I believe I know your spirit and that is what makes sabrina 1 Feb 2015 #213

I resolved it last June. madfloridian Feb 2015 #223

I understand, and we appear to share the same 'enemies'. You can be judged as much by sabrina 1 Feb 2015 #232

Ha! sheshe2 Feb 2015 #261

I wish it were a misunderstanding. bravenak Feb 2015 #176

Bravenak, I hope it is. Because you are both DU treasures and as I just said to MF, probably more sabrina 1 Feb 2015 #222

Um...you alerted on me for linking prior posts of yours. We had quite the PM msanthrope Feb 2015 #8

Then I found out it was okay for you to do that, so I backed off. madfloridian Feb 2015 #11

Let's be clear---you claimed to a jury that I had done a TOS violation, and I got a hide msanthrope Feb 2015 #18

The OP I referred was not by her. madfloridian Feb 2015 #20

Excuse me...but are NOT remembering alerting on me? msanthrope Feb 2015 #26

This link you guys have been requesting might answer your question. madfloridian Feb 2015 #173

"Anymore" being the operative word, right? Since "sorry" isn't something you think I deserve msanthrope Feb 2015 #189

It used to be a rule here at DU. I did not realize it was not a rule anymore. madfloridian Feb 2015 #191

Can you back that claim up? Since an older version of DU is still extant, kindly cite that rule. nt msanthrope Feb 2015 #196

But the old version points to the *current* rules page. MannyGoldstein Feb 2015 #283

No cite, then? nt msanthrope Feb 2015 #284

Apologize to whom? You still haven't answered that. Who, precisely, did you you think was offended msanthrope Feb 2015 #158

In a thread where you are suggesting others give you an apology for perceived racial sleights, Marr Feb 2015 #165

Marr...I wrote that the apology should go to bravenak, not me. msanthrope Feb 2015 #169

The OP itself, was homophobic. Which is why I didn't rec it. sabrina 1 Feb 2015 #333

Ah...so if You rec multiple threads by a poster banned for homophobia, that's ok? msanthrope Feb 2015 #338

If you rec and then defend a homophobic thread, which airc, you did, then it appears to me sabrina 1 Feb 2015 #343

Well....I think that's your interpretation. But again....you seem to carve out an exception msanthrope Feb 2015 #344
