I just got alerted in GD!

[Brigid]

I had the temerity to deviate from the DU feminist catechism. I don't know yet if anything will come of it, but I'm so proud of myself! :evilgrin:

1. Alerting.

:evilgrin:

[AwakeAtLast]

2. Welcome to the Darkside

:D

:hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

3. I stray from DU feminist orthodoxy regularly and have never had an alert.

Since the post is deleted we'll have to take your word for it.

Oh and IBTL.

Thanks.

[emilyg]

9. Thanks.

[Quantess]

10. What's there to alert about?

It's poetically rambling, in a sassy way.

Edit to say: I disagree with your posts on this topic, but I still don't see any reason to alert.

[Brigid]

13. Sorry, I can't claim credit for that one.

That is a poster who has a username similar to mine. It was kind of funny, though, wasn't it?

5. I lost my bookmark. Send a catechism link?

6. Tell them that you once danced with a sumo while scantily clad in silhouette.

That'll learn 'em.

[ismnotwasm]

8. And just what the fuck

is the DU feminist catechism?

[musette_sf]

18. oh you know,

that tenet of the Democratic Party platform that supports women's right to freely access reproductive health care options.

"some" just seem to like to ignore that part of the party platform.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. Oh, my evil, naughty, wicked sister!!!

Get over here and sit with me and tell me EVERYTHING!!!!!

[Brigid]

15. Apparently . . .

It is not permitted -- so another poster believes -- to say that abortion might have negative physical and emotional consequences.

[musette_sf]

17. that was NOT what you said. at all.

you said absolutely NOTHING about your alleged concern for "negative physical and emotional consequences".

it went more like this:

actually, you offered three, and only three, acceptable options re unwanted/unplanned pregnancy:

Adoption, contraception, or maybe even abstinence.

so you advocated:
1. woman taking on huge risk of pregnancy to be a stranger's incubator,
2. woman being 100% responsible for their birth control method being 100% effective (a statistical impossibility),
OR
3. woman deprived of right to enjoy protected non-procreative sex for the sake of the joy of it and the physical benefits of it (see #2 above).

you also posted these little shaming and blaming gems:

That doesn't change the fact that it's a child, not a crotch-dropping.

Abortion is being shamelessly promoted here.
As if it is a good thing, easy and quick and with no repercussions. Just because I am not interested in standing out in front of a clinic with tape over my mouth doesn't mean I like the idea of it actually being promoted like this.

niiiiiiice. where have i seen such rhetoric before? maybe, um, from anti-choice progaganda?

since the Democratic Party platform supports a woman's right to reproductive health care choices, i think your posts were inappropriate and inconsistent with DU philosophy and rules. your blaming and shaming comments in a progressive forum were unkind, offensive, anti-choice, and just plain ugly.

i just thought i'd let your Lounge clique know what really happened.

20. +++++++++++

[orleans]

12. and how do you know you've been alerted on? i wasn't aware we

got little notes from mods that tell us someone has alerted on us

[Brigid]

14. Because the poster I was arguing with said she had.

I guess the mods decided there was nothing to it.

16. Do you think I'd get in trouble over there if I said I thought Rachel Maddow was really hot?

Because I DO think she's really hot.
