270. Sorry, I don't 'play' victim, sadly, for you - apparently,

I also don't keep quiet about abuse. Here, or anywhere else. Are you the type of person who believes only some women deserve to be free of it? Or that certain women who don't tow the bully line 'deserve it'? I've heard and been on the receiving end of that ugly implication many times. Sorry, but that olive branch has thorns an inch long. A bit of honesty, admittance and genuine acceptance for how hurtful and triggering that all was for many women .........not just me, would go a long way,but so far .......... it's still all our fault,and the instigators of this shit are the victims. The biggest, most convincing thing for me would be an apology to the person who was bullied, harassed and hounded for weeks, had her private info stolen to pass around and dismiss her as incapable because she stood up for people who couldn't, and yet just months ago blamed for it and even demanded an apology for 'making' it happen. Typical abuser behaviour. THAT would be showing at least a tiny bit of good faith. But it won't happen here, ever. Nothing changes. And .......... who really gives a * what you think about what I and others have been through and were dissed about on this board or any other? Not me!!!

I wish I could say your position on this matter suprises me BainsBane Sep 2014 #357

We don't ban for rape threats. sufrommich Aug 2014 #145

I didn't have to ban him for making rape threats EarlG Aug 2014 #147

How did his ban message get put into his profile.... boston bean Aug 2014 #149

You said there are only 2 reasons for banning: sufrommich Aug 2014 #150

So if that hadn't happened, thucythucy Sep 2014 #313

So rampant misogyny is A-OK on discussionist, but creating a sock is a capital offense. Gormy Cuss Aug 2014 #148

I don't know, Gormy Cuss... chervilant Sep 2014 #304

So the site rules seriously consider sock accounts to be a worse offense than rape threats? Bjorn Against Sep 2014 #251

The reason this crap is here is because you have promoted that site on this one . . . kickitup Sep 2014 #259

That vile misogynist harassed women on DU for years before finally getting banned, LeftyMom Aug 2014 #131

So what you're saying is he was banned, banned, and banned again EarlG Aug 2014 #139

Rape threats aren't dropped toast. There's no five second rule. LeftyMom Aug 2014 #142

So if no progressive or DU member went there, it would just be another repuke site. I won't go still_one Sep 2014 #180

No, because repuke sites don't advertise Democrat ideals. JaydenD Sep 2014 #250

Actually, I have seen right wing ads appear on DU. Not lately though still_one Sep 2014 #258

Yes, they most certainly do appear. I may not have been clear, sorry. JaydenD Sep 2014 #262
