I am tired of people coming to this forum and calling posters racist

[dsc]

with it apparently being AOK. I can only imagine what would happen if we went to other forums and called people homophobes. I think we would see more of the mass bannings we saw about a month ago. If our forum has been approved then I say we set it up and shut this down as that is the only way we will have this crap stop.

1. Well, things are a lot better since NorthernSpy got that long overdue tombstone

and her tag team partner was banned from this forum.

But yeah, it's been going on for months now, the same four or five people do 90% of it, and it has long since gotten old.

2. i wonder why blind loyalty isnt required for patterson but is required for obama

patterson is the first AA governor of new york, only the 4th in the US. He has a mighty big NY state mess on his hand and has been a strong LGBT ally.

for those who are involved in NY politics a lot of people dislike him, but accusations of racism aren't thrown their way.

i for one, love patterson.

3. I was ready to really like Paterson - one 't' - but he's been a lousy governor and bad leader. nt

4. i disagree but i dont call you a racist. had this been obama, i may have felt

compelled to :P

6. I disagree. I would vote for him in a second. But that's okay. We can disagree.

[Captain Hilts]

9. It depends on who he's running against. nt

[GodlessBiker]

15. Maybe. But he has stuck his neck out for us, certainly when compared to a certain national ...

political executive, so I feel I owe him.

7. That person you are not calling out was recently banned from this forum. n/t

[DarkTirade]

10. But not from all of DU.

Just here.

[QC]

12. True. But it's a start. n/t

[tbyg52]

26. That's not right. If the behavior is not fit for this forum,

it's not fit for anywhere on DU. Sounds like a double standard to me.

Hi everybody, BTW! (I don't get on the computer much anymore, but when I do I come here first.)

[Duncan Grant]

14. The offenders would be banned en masse and the forum shut down. n/t

[Duncan Grant]

16. So, I have to ask: Who's complicit in the homophobia here at DU? n/t

[donco6]

25. Harumpf. Well, let them poop in their own sandbox, then.

They deserve each other.

[Duncan Grant]

27. Is it even worth it to pursue unity and common cause?

It looks like it will take a long, long, long time for them to overcome their contempt for LGBT people.

20. Preaching to the choir is an easy way to get some rest ...

from making progress.

[mitchtv]

21. and answering idiots is an easy way to

DUoverdose. we have enough of that "wait" business, without putting up with it in a so called progressive message board

[mtnester]

22. Oh look

[NMMNG]

23. Right

[Duncan Grant]

24. Speaking of progress, what are you doing in your community for LGBT equality?

Each one, teach one. Yes?
