I am not sure how much further you and I can reasonably go discussing the substance of the rest of your post.
The rest of your post is about people and things over whom I have no control and for whose deeds I respectfully decline to take responsibility. I would not dream of posting to you my grievances about some of the very ugly things posted at HillarySupporterscom and even right in DU's African American Group. I would never put you in the position of either agreeing with me, or remaining silent about your board friends and acquaintances in the face of my serious charges, or having to defend things done by other people. I also think nothing is fair about posting such heavy charges about people who are no longer here to defend themselves.
I have no idea why you brought all these grievances up to me. I certainly hope you are not attempting to imply that my posting on a board that has over 500 posters with an African American woman who once tweeted the term house n****r is somehow comparable to being the posters(s) who actually posted ugly, anti-Semitic things themselves. Because attempting a smear that far off base, an equivalency that false, would be really, really messed up. Surely that is not what you were trying to do?
My declining to discuss certain things should not interpreted as my agreeing with anything in your post. IMO, the things you described are either definitely not as I remember them, or are missing some information that I consider highly material to the conclusions one forms about the events.
While your post may be gently worded, it contains accusations that, if true, would say extremely negative things about the fundamental character of these people. With all due respect, I don't consider that a gentle step and don't know why anyone would describe it that way.
