I thought some here would like to know about this:

[laconicsax]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=113955&sub=trans

[seabeyond]

1. thank you. nt

[Sarah Ibarruri]

2. What is it? Or rather, what was it? nt

[seabeyond]

3. he was a poster

that came into the feminist forum causing problems at the time we were having problems.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

8. Ah. Maybe it's better I didn't see. nt

[BlueIris]

13. He was a disgusting pig.

And definitely someone who had no business being anywhere near a feminist group. Here is a post from mistertrickster proclaiming the existence of some alleged group of "rad fems" who would supposedly wreck anti-rape education with an attempt to "ram their message of women's victimhood down the throats of all the men who already aren't rapists and never will be."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=190010

Here's one from him trying to claim that a non-existent "all men are rapists cabal" exists on DU.com (which involved pathetic personal attacks against redqueen):

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=270091

And here he is continuing to promote the stereotype that feminists are anti-male and supposedly promote the idea that all men are rapists:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=274175

He should never have been allowed to keep his posting privileges after spewing this slime. He should never have been allowed to post in the feminist group(s) after doing so. He is a vile liar and his subsistence here is one of the worst examples of how far from a progressive community this website really is.

[laconicsax]

14. And yet he had his defenders.

Some of whom, as I recall, are self-proclaimed feminists.

[seabeyond]

19. yes, a feminist host. nt

[laconicsax]

37. Interesting, isn't it?

[iverglas]

45. I've just realized something

Check back to the thread; I've edited one of my posts.

http://feministshosts.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=4

The exchange with you makes more sense once one realizes that the other party was not even reading the post the discussion was about ...

And on that ... well, pick your own characterization ... hinged my fate, apparently. As I said there: unfuckingbelievable.

[seabeyond]

46. ah, i get it, now that i read the edit....

doesnt matter. you were out when you unpinned her thread. just a matter of when

[iverglas]

47. I bow to your fuller knowledge

I remember now. I guess it just hadn't occurred to me that such petty vanity would really have been the operational cause and I still find that hard to fathom. And there began the drive to have the power to pin and lock and pin and lock with nobody the boss of 'er ... and so she did, in, if you will forgive me, spades ...

Okay, enough of this, I shall turn my attention to more worthy subjects. Who will join us to talk Joan of Arc now?

[iverglas]

26. just too funny

Trickster is PPRed for homophobia ...

I think we know what the rest of this post would look like if I didn't know the whole world was watching.

[redqueen]

17. Someone who peddled that kind of tripe about any other minority group

would indeed have been shown the door.

Can't say I find it at all surprising that he wasn't, sadly.

[seabeyond]

18. actually, there was a lot of cheer with his disruptive behavior in the feminist forum

when he went back to the mens forum to post. and some seemed not bothered at all by this behavior. rallied with him. but talk about christianity and he MUST go.

[seabeyond]

21. interesting question. if a poster is known to trash feminists with name calling, ridicule, shaming

outside the forum, thru out du, in other forums yet come into the feminist forum and plays nice, with just gentle jabs that many dont see, is that allowable?

i have been pondering this the last couple days.

[iverglas]

38. and you were unwillingly immortalized

for making that point early.

And now vindicated!

Well, in this one small instance, anyhow.

- edit - that last bit may have been unclear. I just meant you haven't yet been vindicated on the broader point.

Except that to some of us, that requires no vindication, of course.

[redqueen]

39. Is it odd that there's no thread about his being PPRd in H&M?

I'm not sure... it does seem odd to me, anyway. Maybe there is one and I haven't seen it.

[Scout]

40. i didn't see a thread in H&M either....

but i did comment in MIR forum that it was too bad he hadn't been PPR'd back in February...

[iverglas]

43. actually there is

It was started before the banning and the subject wasn't obvious; it just got bumped up and I had a look at the post it was about.

This is the H&M thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/124073977

[redqueen]

44. Aha, thanks.

I rec'd that OP without bothering to find out what.prompted it. Seemed too stupid of an issue to waste time reading the comments. I can't say I'm surprised it was his idiocy behind it.

[PassingFair]

4. I was just coming here to post that!

Hopefully we've seen the last of him.

[Warren DeMontague]

5. Great. So I wasted an hour last night eviscerating his "persecuted Christian" OP point by point

for nothing.

Sigh.

[PassingFair]

6. Not for naught!

I appreciated it....

[MadrasT]

7. Nah...

I appreciated it.

[redqueen]

9. oh yeah

I forgot that was his op

Aw the poor baby, life must be hard when you can't tell the difference between someone attacking your beliefs and someone attacking you personally. Lotta tears and anguish in store for him. LOL

[Warren DeMontague]

10. The thing is; and this is why I felt compelled to go all manifesto, there-

one, most of his examples were not actually attacks, on his beliefs or anything else, and two (related to one) there are a few logical fallacies or misrepresentations that seem to crop of EVERY time one of those types of "objections" is lodged.

[laconicsax]

11. I don't want to hijack this thread, but...

I've noticed over the decade I've been here, that the overwhelming majority of "attacks" on Christians and Christianity aren't attacks at all.

I've also noticed that those who scream the loudest about rampant "Christian bashing" are more than willing to attack Muslims, Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses(who are Christian), and even Jews. It's little wonder that two of them (mistertricker and Kurmudgeon) were recently PPR'd for misogyny.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. I think it may have been the blatant homophobia in that thread that finally did him in.

[laconicsax]

16. I have to admit, I trashed that thread as soon as I saw it.

I just didn't have the stomach for it.

[seabeyond]

20. of course. yet... there was lots of cheering him on with his blatant misogyny. nt

[PassingFair]

22. He wasn't PPR'd for misogyny.

Unless making uncool references to LGBT people is misogyny.

I don't know about Kurmudgeon, but MisterTrickster was brought
down by the preponderance of his shit-stirring and for his "gay sex"
comment. He finally managed to piss off EVERYONE.

I'm just glad he's gone.

I can't believe that he was allowed to disrupt as long as he did.

[boston bean]

24. he also wrote misogynistic posts.

as a matter of fact, i think that is noted in his ppr message.

And he was also defended by other members for his misogynistic posts.

[PassingFair]

28. I mean ultimately.

I don't deny that he made misogynistic posts.

[boston bean]

35. very often, homophobic and misogynistic slurs are one in the same.

[2ndAmForComputers]

48. Don't forget Zebedeo. He and Kurmudgeon were Army of God-level anti-choicers.

[BlueIris]

12. Two months too late at least. nt

[iverglas]

23. it was a fun bandwagon, wasn't it?

And to think that this

http://feministshosts.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=4 (pages 1 and 2)

was what led to me being removed as co-host of, and blocked from posting in, that other forum.

I'll bet apologies will be forthcoming and my rehabilitation will soon be underway!

Perhaps I will be recognized as a martyr in the cause, and beatification will not be far off ...

[seabeyond]

25. sumthin, huh? nt

[Scout]

27. "apologies will be forthcoming"

i know you aren't going to be holding your breath.

[iverglas]

29. it's the beatification I'm holding out for

You know, after all, it's iverglas, goddess of truth and beauty, here.

[redqueen]

30. LOL, yeah,

that's a good one!

[iverglas]

32. just adding a link to the original conversation

http://www.democraticunderground.com/11392456#post22

in which he graciously deleted his posts ...

edit

it actually starts here with the post that wasn't deleted by him:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/11392456#post11

[MadrasT]

36. All I can say is

[MuseRider]

42. Unbelievable.

This is the first I have seen of these discussions. Not only about the recently passed mister but the rest of it. No wonder there was so much trouble. Seriously.

[redqueen]

31. Just noticed that I have more people ignoring me

than that guy did.

I must really annoy the crap out of some people.

[seabeyond]

33. betcha i have more than you, ..... lol

ah well.

i am gonna see if iverglas is transparent, bah hahahah

edit.. damn, you are a good girl. and i did beat iverglas....

[iverglas]

34. eek, I hadn't checked mine lately

It's gone up again!

20 and 26, now.

I think I know who one of the new ones in that 26 is. I hadn't noticed a post in a thread a little bit back and saw it the other day.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1240&pid=65870

Of course, I couldn't reply there, so I replied by PM, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to answer the question in the subject line.

Here are the results of a simple little google search at this site for my name and the term "same-sex marriage", for posts from 2003 to 2011:

http://www.google.ca/search?q=site%3Awww.democraticunderground.com+iverglas+%22same-sex+marriage%22&num=30&hl=en&safe=off&complete=0&prmd=imvns&sa=X&ei=RjCDT_GLN8abgweJwYnnBQ&ved=0CBEQpwUoBg&source=lnt&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A2003%2Ccd_max%3A2011&tbm=

In case that doesn't work, use this to search:

site:www.democraticunderground.com iverglas "same-sex marriage"

and set the date parameters to 2003-2011, to see DU2 results.

... For some reason, setting the date parameters excludes large numbers of threads; here is the general search with no dates set:

(I also posted a collection of Coretta Scott King quotations on homophobia in that thread.)

... and offering a little advice ... which I see was of course not taken, since the post in question still stands in all its ugliness.
