DU had a long-time poster who, to my knowledge, never once showed his face in here, banned for using the "C" word about a month ago. Stated admin reason- Misogyny.
DU then had a poster who was well-known for posting off kilter, TMI, creepy stuff in the lounge, and who then made totally uncalled for sexual comments to a DU member, banned after repeated warnings... another long-time poster who, as far as I know, never once posted in this group. Stated admin reason? - Misogyny.
DU had another poster banned concurrently with the one above, a poster who DID post in this group. And, a poster who had received numerous alerts and hides on his transparency page pertaining to his activities in several different forums on this site aside from this one, including in particular the RKBA group, which quite probably had more than a little bit to do with his banning. Stated admin reason? - Troll.
DU had the topic of rape brought to GD, maybe 6 days ago? I leave it to crafty forensic internet investigators to determine who, exactly, on this board was responsible for putting up the ORIGINAL threads on the topic. As in, given the shit storm... has anyone stopped to wonder how it even came to be so-called "rape week" on DU in the first place?
Again, I leave it to the investigative wiles of anyone so inclined to figure that out. One thing I can tell you with a fair amount of certainty, it was not a member of the Men's Group who originally brought up the topic of rape, for better or worse, in GD.
Once the rape threads started sprouting in GD, there were several deeply offensive threads which came in fairly rapid succession. One by a poster admitting previous rapes- a criminal confession, really, with all that entails. Another by a poster who used extra-creepy language to explicate on his feelings about.. I don't know what, but it had something to do with rape. And it was an offensive OP. The last thread seemed to be portrayed as a 'question' about something claimed to be relevant to the topic, that, again, much of DU found inappropriate and very offensive particularly given the soul-baring and wrenching expressions of upset rape victims had been expressing in GD. All these threads were inappropriate, and all these threads had something else in common: Again, the people responsible, as far as I understand it, have never had anything to do with this group.
So.
...What is the obvious take-away from all this?
"Those Misogynists in the Men's Group are responsible for what's happening on DU".
