i will ONLY hide racist and rw trolls. gays and women... well, tough, shit.

isnt that what i just heard?

now. i doubt the person has ever hidden a sexist post in his life, nor many of the men who cheered. that is not what the OP is about. what it was, was a rally cry to posters that have hidden sexist and homophobic posts in that past.

we were certainly thrown under the bus.

and since this is the feminist forum, and it is a democratic progressive board dependent on the community to stand with gays and women thru the jury, i see no reason i would not discuss this in a feminist forum. you know. an active effort to give the finger to women and gays.

what say you????

not to try and pass your insult off as something that isn't based on nastiness.

about things they think matter, like the scores of sports games. Insulting human beings because of race, gender, or sexuality, that's free speech, so they claim. So mock our concerns about civil rights. It's always helpful to find out what people do and don't care about.

I might suggest there is never hide. Further, a thread of people stating flatly. Never hide

They're all ugly, they all damage society-- possible to the point of no return--(watching Cosmos, got me thinking about the question, "can civilization survive?" Not with those damaging 'isms' in ascendant it sure as hell won't) they're all real and they're all what I strive against. Every one.

I have never seen any signs of liberalism or progressivism from some who claim themselves holier than though. In fact, we were told last week that only right-wingers object to bigoted insults. Left has become right and right has become left. Here is how they define liberal: ME. How they define RW: Anyone who disagrees with or challenges the exclusive privilege of the all important ME.

Individual privacy and personal economic trump collective security/respect. IOWs, the philosophy of that group that I am told doesn't exist on DU.

Can't imagine that one ever did anything different.

Not exactly "news", so pure shit stirring.

Yawn.
