I hope this thread means we have permission to speak freely.

If not, I guess I'll find out soon enough.

From what I've gathered, Sniffa posted about the Princess now being a part of the conservative message board which has nothing better to do than discuss DU?

I was angry yesterday and the night before because I felt the personal attacks based on body size were completely out of line. I stand by my original emotions about that particular incident. It didn't matter to me what justification was given for the attack. I simply believe that no one should be attacked on the basis of their skin color, gender, sexual preference, weight, hair color, etc.

This same anger at what happened yesterday is also what leads me to believe that the person now professing to be the Princess is a phoney. Why in the hell would the Princess join in the conversation at a board which also launched a personal attack on both her and her husband? It simply defies logic. (On the other hand, most of what conservatives do defies logic.)

1. Because

they spent all their time ridiculing THEMSELVES! they put words in others mouths, and if someoen didn't agree with them they'd blame that person for making fun of their weight!

2. Ruh roh.

You are gonna get loooocked! (Singing)

:hug:

3. Agreed. the weight thing bothered me too. I just don't know what

to think, this place is just a rumblefest lately.

[Jara sang]

4. Thinking the same thing.

But you said it better, so I don't have to post it.:hi:

5. Yea. They've been pretty brutal to her in the past.

Hard to believe she would embrace them.

[crispini]

8. Does she read over there?

You gotta wonder.

[Bok_Tukalo]

12. Hard to imagine she wouldn't see it since CO's leaving

brought some of it out and that was recent.

[Zuni]

10. she might have not known that

[cassandra uprising]

6. what happened to the skinner thread?

thank you for the update

[Fleshdancer]

7. thank-you

I have no idea how long this thread will last, but thanks for the clarification. I'm sorry you were personally attacked...that's not cool at all.

[CornField]

9. Fuck -- this was supposed to be part of Skinner's thread.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Because she admitted it...

via PM when I called her on it. I felt sorry for her too. I don't go to the other place, but someone told me about it. No respect. Fat jokes? Bad. Slamming a website in its entirety because of hurt feelings? Stupid, childish. :hi:

[chickenscratching]

13. WELL said Mrs G!!!

i second everything

[CornField]

16. It does defy logic

They were laughing their collective dumb asses off yesterday about her and Wayne's weight issues.

Well, here's hoping she finally discovers happiness over there.

[NorthernSpy]

14. I couldn't care less whether that might be the same person or not...

Another person's bad behavior simply doesn't excuse ones own.

No matter how excellent ones politics are.

If it were otherwise, it would be impossible to keep any standards at all.

[Debi]

15. It didn't matter what was said

one or the other would play the victim in any discussion. Heck, if a thread was started about not liking the color green one of them would get on the thread and say that green was their favorite color and the poster was attacking them.

We can try to be politically correct, but there are people who will take offense at anything.

I wonder if bait wasn't laid and a trap set.

What people do for fun these days.
