I'm bumping the original text of this post down to the bottom to add this, and ask the question in the subject line.
At Wed Feb 8, 2012, 08:33 PM you sent an alert on the following post:
I'm amazed only one person got nuked in that thread
The reason for the alert was:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
You added the following comments:
"What a bunch of fucking bigots we have here."
The reference is to members of the Feminists group at DU, posting in a thread in the Feminists group's forum. That is plain from the post; the subject of the OP is a post in that exact thread.
The fact that it is not a remotely accurate characterization of the discussion in that group is not relevant.
What matters is that it has never been acceptable for DU members to call other DUers, individually or by broad-brush smears, "bigots". That principle has been upheld by juries at DU3 and most DUers hope to see it maintained. Thank you.
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this post at Wed Feb 8, 2012, 04:12 AM, and voted 1-5 to keep it.
Thank you.

203. I'm amazed only one person got nuked in that thread
Not only is it full of open, almost celebratory transphobia, but it is drenched in a heavy anti-lesbian vibe. Some regular posters do just about everything except outright refer to many DU lesbians as a marauding group of male-identified bull dykes - they just heavily intimate it in their language.
Am I the only one who read that thread and wondered how tombstones weren't aflyin'?
Ridiculous.
What a bunch of fucking bigots we have here.

That work for you, folks?
The members of this group are a bunch of fucking bigots?
For any ignorant souls in the vicinity, "male-identified" HAS FUCK ALL TO DO WITH TRANSGENDERED.
It is a term used to refer to women who identify with THE PATRIARCHY, who see their interests as lying in agreeing with and supporting men who oppose feminists and feminism. Phyllis Schlafly. Anita Bryant. Surely the third-wavers have someone in their living memory they can think of. We have lots of them right here at DU.
God all fucking mighty.

Sadly, I'm the pefect lightning rod / scapegoat.
So many lies have been posted about me over so many years at this site by a very particular element, there are probably people who actually believe them.
See my post on marriage that I've just bumped up.
The quantity and quality of people by whom one is hated has always seemed to me like a decent measure of one's worth.
And hell, if it wasn't me, it'd be you.
