Look, I'm still laughing that someone thought they were the first person to post a male beefcake picture in a men's group hot celebrity thread. "Ooooh we showed them!!! Robble robble, I bet those homophobic scumbags never saw that coming!"

Hmm.. Sounds to me like that would make a lot of closeted fetishists.

Less than honest would be an understatement..BIG difference between being referred as an "attention whore" as opposed to a "whore"..I guess a little embellishing must have been in order, because the truth didn't fit the theme this particular poster is fond of pushing...that of how sexist and rotten the Men's Group is.

Attention whore: a person who behaves in an exaggerated way simply to attract attention.

http://onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning-definition-of/attention-whore

Whore: a woman or male who engages in sexual acts for money

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/whore

Some people may wish to pretend otherwise, but there's a significant difference between the two.

Just to clarify, if I were to call a man an "attention rapist" or "attention pedophile" that would be better than calling him a "rapist" or "pedophile"? How about inserting a homophobic or racist slur after attention. That would be so much better? And if I did so, and you commented on it in a thread without using the word "attention," that would make you dishonest?

Lessee, a man in the company of women is always wrong, right? Where have I heard that before? It goes back at least to Bob Hope, probably somewhere in Shakespeare.

The thread in question was shut down, so I'll leave it at that.

....about their battles with social anxiety, depression and so forth who was hoping to meet someone and was looking for some tips as to how to go about it. I'm obviously not going to dig up the post.

Of course, the ax grinders and their ignorant minions who've never set foot in here, but play mental Rorschach with everything here twist and pervert and in their mind come up with something different, evil and dark and whiny. Really fucking offensive if you ask me, considering I'm sure they believe they are the most sensitive and caring people known to humankind.

Sep 2013

At Tue Sep 24, 2013, 04:39 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

I think there was someone here who posted....
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1114&pid=10307

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Really OTT insults of other DUers: ignorant, ax grinders, "evil, dark, and whiny." Just mean and bitter. The poster seems very unhappy with DU and should probably take a break.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Sep 24, 2013, 05:17 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Not a fan of Men's but the HOF people who monitor should do what I do and leave them alone. Check yourself alerter.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: ALERTER: Why are you and the rest of you from HOF so concerned about this group. Must you waste jury's time with these frivolous alerts? I don't care for the Men's group, but I don't go in there and look for a reason to get hysterical. Enough already.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I'm not sure this should be hidden. The poster is extremely nasty to other DUers, but doesn't mention anyone specifically. And might I add that if this thread is any indication of the kind of discussion in this group, yuck. I almost expect to see franksolisch posting here.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: I vote for stupid.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: NOT a problem post. It called out no individual. If you think it applies to you, maybe you need to examine yourself.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

It appears certain people, who can't read well, have taken a post I wrote earlier tonight (which was alerted on) and have decided once again to construe it to tailor their own purposes.

I wrote, in this post.... http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1114&pid=10307

Of course, the ax grinders and their ignorant minions who've never set foot in here, but play mental Rorschach with everything here twist and pervert and in their mind come up with something different, evil and dark and whiny.



"evil and dark and whiny", in this instance, refers to how they view the rankin file poster here, NOT me calling them that.

Perhaps I should have put the the word "something" before evil, but let's be honest, that wouldn't change a thing, would it?

I know they are reading. They always are. If they cared about honesty, they'd take this into account. You can almost bet they will not.
