discussionist is a misogynist pit hole - vulgar language

[Ms. Toad]

305. Misogyny is rampant here - and has been for a very long time.

I have been speaking out about it for a very long time. It is not the discussionist trolls who have brought the issue to DU. It is, unfortunately, a homegrown, and one the admins here have consistently refused to acknowledge or address. If you plow back through ATA from well more than a year ago, you will find more than one rather heated conversation between me and Skinner on the matter, in which he denied the existence of a problem and then ultimately stopped responding.

But as to the source, go find the most vocal misogynists and take a look at the DU enrollment date of the worst offenders. Virtually all, if not all, of them predate the creation of discussionist.

Beyond that, if you believe individual trolls from discussionist are bringing the issue to DU, identify them to the admins and ask them to ban them from DU. They said early on that that would be the one potential exception to the separation between the two sites.

"DU members will not get banned from DU because of something they post on Discussionist. I can only imagine one exception: If someone on Discussionist admits that they are trolling Democratic Underground -- and if we have rock-solid proof that they are in fact same person -- then we will ban that person from Democratic Underground as an admitted troll.
