General Discussion

in regards to the rhetoric of Spencer and general discourse.

Others in this thread do agree with me and not with DSB. The difference is that I mentioned that suggesting violence, rhetorically or not, was a past behavior of DSB

DSB makes other posts in this thread supporting or making light of violence.

My lens regards DSB is colored by the fact that in the past DSB rhetorically probably recommended violence against a set of DUers of different opinion.

I posted a criticism that I thought had high probability to be juried and it was.

Several days later DSB must have had 2nd thoughts as the post I responded to and DSB's response to my juried out post because days later when the thread was inactive DSB deleted his posts so my juried post could no longer be seen (by star members) in context.

It would take sometime to find the exchange but it happened; memorable to me in that it was at most one of 5 posts I have ever had juried or moderated in over a decade at DU and probably the only post I have ever made here where I thought had a high likelihood of being juried when I hit send.

I don't get why DSB disserves an apology from me; DSB falsely accused me of libel and if one looks hard enough they can find the exchange themselves.

I don't see DU as a competition and I don't see criticizing suggested violence here as something over-reacted.
