That was the most outrageous thing I've ever witnessed at DU

I am livid, attacking "Medicswife" because her husband is serving in Iraq? Where on earth does someone like that come from? And what could possibly be the motive?

Sorry, I had to vent. That was unbearably cruel.

1. I ran across someone like that months back.

And I also ran into someone that made fun of Biden for talking about the loss of his wife and baby.

Some people are just assholes.

4. holy sheet -

i posted that, before I saw what you were talking about!

I don't even want to know what those deleted posts said.
How can one person judge another person that they don't even know?
Sad. Very sad.

7. It turns out that the deleted posts weren't from

the offender. They were answers defending Medicwife and her husband and evidently denouncing the provocateur. By the time I clicked on the thread, they were already deleted.

3. That was some mean, nasty and brutish shit,

wasn't it? I have meditated for his/her/undeclared redemption and awakening. Perhaps not in this lifetime, but the Wheel will turn. The infinite has a way of imposing remedial sanctions for such conduct. So it is written. So mote it be.

9. wasn't that something?

only twice in all my time on DU have I ever gotten so worked up. I got called a hothead...LOL!
What's even more astonishing is that there were TWO people who posted that nasty bull against medicswife. One was hard enough to take but TWO?

I'm glad the mods FINALLY cleaned it up. I can't believe that crap. I just can't.

15. i don't understand the policies here

i didn't see any of the offensive stuff just folks upset about it

but what i don't get is why in the supposed name of "open dialog" the admins/mods let so much vitriol stand. there are literally thosands of places that skinheads, klansmen, and other haters can go to jerk each other off. some level of censorship for common decency is appropriate.

since they eventually did delete, they must agree. but why wait so long?

oh well, i think we're not supposed to talk about them. THAT is serious.

16. I think because of the sheer volume of posts it's tough for them to get to

the alerts sometimes.
