(19,926 posts)As to me I don't let my thoughts about another DUer get in the way of trying to be fair about my assessment of their posts and about my behavior on a jury.
I agree with you on a lot of social issues. You are one who is able to put aside the differences when it comes to other subjects and I appreciate that.
However, your OP is simply a condescending lecture when you don't admit that you yourself need to keep it in mind. It is simply finger wagging at others, and as I mentioned in my other post, when the people from your clique applaud it and don't even realize that it applies to them more than a lot of other DUers, and when those are the people that you "hang out" with and agree with and "high five" all the time, it's fair game for someone to mention that, so I did.
And you have to admit, it's pretty ironic that in this very thread you posted some rude replies to people. If I'm going to be lectured by someone I certainly expect it to be by someone who practices what they preach when they make no mention of ever slipping up themselves, or even mention that hey, we all do it. But there was no hint of that at all in the OP.
As to the BOG. This has nothing to do with that other than the people who I find to be the rudest on DU post in there often and are members of that group. It has nothing to do with the fact that I was banned for some meaningless comment with no warning. I describe that here because you brought it up. Well, perhaps that does have something to do with it in that it was yet another example of the rudeness of which I speak.
If you feel my post was a call out then so be it. Your OP was pretty much one and I responded to it. As I said, you could have worded your OP differently so that it wasn't a lecture, so that it included everybody on DU, but you didn't. Because of that I spoke to that point. If all you want is praise and recs then you shouldn't post on a message board, or you should just post in the BOG. But as this is a message board I am posting my opinion of the OP that you posted which was your opinion. That is a discussion and that's why we're here.
