Martin Luther King fought equally hard for civil rights and economic equality.

179. You don't seem to do too well with that whole ignoring thing...

Because here you are again, not ignoring me. It was a suggestion anyway, not the YOU NEED TO STOP! orders you've been barking out.

I'll expand on what I said before, even though I know already you'll hit the Blather Buzzer. Which is fine because yr not my target audience. I don't do blather or boring, or insipid or any of the kneejerk and insulting words you've thrown at me. I don't do internet raging either and leave it to others to do the exploding head thing.

Yes, I sure do read an accusation of bigotry in the attack you aimed at me. That's what these were: 'You insult every single woman and person of color on this board' and 'You have befriended some of the biggest race baiting and sexist trolls on this web site'.

Those accusations were made without any thought whatsoever. I'm a feminist and I co-founded one of the feminist groups here at DU3 and am a strong supporter of women's rights for the very selfish reason that they affect me directly. You won't find a single post where I've insulted every woman at DU because there isn't one. Same goes for racial issues. I tend to read those more than I participate as the racial issues here are a bit different than in the US. The only one I got involved in was a few months back about whether or not Iggy Azalea had appropriated African American culture and done a bit of modern blackface. I'm at a complete loss as to how I insulted every person of colour at DU by agreeing that she had indeed done that and had in the past made racist comments about indigenous Australians. So we can throw that accusation in the complete bullshit bin and be done with it...

As for befriending racist and sexist trolls, that one's also going straight in the bullshit bin. I'm kind of selective with my friends at DU after being badly burnt early on at DU3, and my circle of friends is a very small one. Not one single one of them is racist or an MRA. While it might give you a bit of a buzz to believe you *know* about me, the reality is you don't know me, nor my experiences and strongly held beliefs and I'm pretty sure you have zero interest in finding out from me.

I'm not sure where all that rage came from, and where you got the bizarre idea that me replying to you in GD twice in the past few months is some sort of 'every given opportunity thing'. Here's another suggestion that will likely be ignored. If you want people to listen to you and take you seriously, try talking to others how you'd like to be treated yrself. Screaming abuse at people doesn't get anyone anywhere. Demanding that people not participate in discussions because you've deemed them unworthy isn't a great way to get any sort of discussion happening...
