Skinner to Vinny in ATA:
And when you realize that this "pretty uncool stuff" is built right into the whole website including the jury system:

If the post is an OP (Original Post -- the post which begins a thread), the thread will be locked.
Then think about the fact that Vinny's question was in ATA where his accusation could not be responded to. Is that cool??????
Contradiction much?
And regarding the lack of response given to Vinny about
Well, I think that being left unanswered by Skinner said that us women here in HOF are a hornets nest and it's perfectly ok to whack us.
Sometimes things that are not said speak the loudest and that one just screamed for me. The only question I have is, was it intentionally left unchallenged or a mere oversight?

(32,611 posts)mostly lesbians and their straight female allies; strong women and strong voices. Does that tell you anything?
Little Star
(17,055 posts)It was pretty disgraceful, especially so on a democratic website. However, I never realized it was mostly lesbians and their straight female allies. Yep, it tells me plenty more than what I had known and it's even more disgusting now that I have that additional info.
WTF?????????? What the fuck is going on with this kinda shit? That's what I'm thinking.
Thanks DURHAM.

(42,014 posts)There are a number of OP's I've dubbed 'lets fuck with the feminists'. Usually, I keep my participation minimal in those, unless I'm bored, or its the first or second thread and an interesting topic.
Certain posters apparently thrive on posting this kind of thing---typical creeper behavior.
(All that being said, I'm not sure this is the best place to discuss ATA)
Little Star
(17,055 posts)from my point of view that post and it's answers was about feminists and as I pointed out there is no way I can respond to that post in ATA.
Maybe I should just shut up and sing?
ismnotwasm
(42,014 posts)Of some of the rules, of course *I* think you're spot on.

(3,724 posts)The larger question is why are they even permitted here? If this were the yahoo boards, or reddit, I could understand. But this place claims to be a democratic haven, and for women it's not even close - so what the actual fuck is the problem with the management? They have the only authority concerning this, and they REFUSE to deal with it. Tells me all I need to know.
DURHAM D
(32,611 posts)state a zero tolerance policy as he has done for other groups.
Instead he has charged women with educating and reforming their abusers.
ismnotwasm
(42,014 posts)I don't want to educate them. I expect a modicum of sensibility on the topic of gender, on a liberal board, not 'girls gone wild' and pedophile defenders-- which is too weird for me.
DURHAM D
(32,611 posts)Obviously it serves their purpose.
redqueen
(115,103 posts)Yeah, we are so not even anywhere close to that.
Where issues of sexism and misogyny are concerned we get the equivalent of trying to discuss an anti-war stance on a right wing board. Brazen dishonesty, word-twisting, childish taunts, etc.
ismnotwasm
(42,014 posts)Seems like it sometimes. Some of them have been around for a while though.
I remember one exceptionally weird pedo defender--- he lasted a looog time. I'm not sure if he was ever TS's, or dropped away, or is posting under a new name.
redqueen
(115,103 posts)But this kind of mentality is so widespread... many people just agree with the men's rights posters without even knowing anything about that cesspit. That's the sad truth of it.
It is also sad how few people speak up when stuff like that is pointed out. Don't know if you remember, but I actually had people campaigning to have me banned for daring to say that MRA talking points were posted on DU.
ismnotwasm
(42,014 posts)Are so easily derailed, as you have so often pointed out, it seems pointless.
And MRA talking points ARE posted at DU, WTF?
Speak it--Own it.
Sheldon Cooper
(3,724 posts)and it is most assuredly NOT an oversight. Somebody mentioned gays and their women allies getting purged from here, I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I have no trouble believing that there was bigotry and misogyny involved.
And I don't blame seabeyond for not wanting to post any ouchie pictures, so I'll do it for her, because I don't care if I get deleted.
ismnotwasm
(42,014 posts)Heh.

(24,096 posts)Skinner's no reply/comment to the hornet's nest is louder than anything he could type in.
but I already knew that.
Little Star
(17,055 posts)it's uncool to pick on someone when they cannot respond yet ok when Vinny picked on BB in ATA where she couldn't respond.

(53,072 posts)Until he decided to advertise how unfair it was to post it after he had been blocked from the group. Am I cynical to think that he proudly wanted everyone to know he was the author of such PMs?
Little Star
(17,055 posts)negative attention getting for himself in a place where no one could respond to him. What was it that Ann Richards always said "poor George"? Well, poor Vinny.

(12,665 posts)All I want to say is that it is a pretty sad day when the top three threads in HISTORY of FEMINISM is all about DU and seems to show who really misses META.
