There is an organized effort coming out of Discussionist [View all]

http://www.discussionist.com/101636776

It's kinda fun and encouraging to watch the need of radical feminism to enlist the "help" of neutral parties fail miserably in their own feel good and disconnected spaces (like DU). To some of these unstable kooks, instead of a man and woman it's man and victim. Or maybe wife and abuser.

Either way the cracks in the anti-male (and often anti-white) narrative are seriously encouraging to this man who refuses to raise his sons in the ludicrous institutional model of every male being the potential abuser.

With RedQueen gone (ugh) there is like 4 more to go. Keep the pressure on friends of logic and unemotional thought.


Now I am guessing I am on that list, and I feel a bit miffed about it. The last exchange I had with our old friend Galileo Reloaded over on DI he said:

Brains bane! It's u!
Oh I've missed you so. Very bright girl!
I always thought that if I could break into your ego defenses you could be my best pupil. Yet sadly we had to part.
Well, now we can learn and explore each other without pretense. Joy!


Now we come to this? Galileo, thou hast broken my heart.

Well, I'm guessing a lot of them shared those views all along! MADem Aug 2014 #15
I'm with you on the inability to understand that fixation with screwing with strangers online BainsBane Aug 2014 #21
I figure most people are a product of their life experience. MADem Aug 2014 #26
That is the problem with that kind of bigoted discussion online BainsBane Aug 2014 #31

There is a prime example of what I meant herein above. chervilant Aug 2014 #81
Whoever alerted (not I) probably because calling out the admins is not permitted HERVEPA Aug 2014 #93
Did you see the rape threats against specific members here? BainsBane Sep 2014 #94
If the Admins know of someone who is on this site making rape threats, they should be removed. HERVEPA Sep 2014 #96
Why have you chosen not to answer my question? BainsBane Sep 2014 #100
furthermore DonCoquixote Sep 2014 #129

What do they get out of it? theHandpuppet Aug 2014 #62
Yes--a moment of POWER and CONTROL. Everyone stops, and pays ATTENTION to them! nt MADem Aug 2014 #63
You can't have a good discussion when it gets down to that level of smarmy retorts cui bono Aug 2014 #46

I'm with you on this past year. Unbelievable. So I won't put up abuse here. freshwest Sep 2014 #105
That assumes the Admins care about that sort of thing. cyberswede Aug 2014 #65
And that's a pretty big assumption, given the level of care they show for the issue on DU Scootaloo Sep 2014 #126

I just asked Skinner in ATA if discussionist profits financially from DU ismnotwasm Sep 2014 #103
