(53,031 posts)via PM. For obvious reasons I can't do so in open forums. You ignored that in the PM and ask you ignored it in other posts in this subthread. My initial post was to Nikon. When you responded instead, I resumed a discussion with you that you had pointedly evaded.
We have all banned all kinds of people on MIRT. That is a change of subject. The point is the argument you are making in this thread about participants in the Duckie thread that you refuse to apply to other members, particular those with whom you are closely allied.
Given your participation in the Men's group, I would think you would be considered that extremist MRA arguments are given currency there. If transphobic stuff were posted in HOF, I would be very much concerned. However, it is not, at least not since I've been participating.
I think we could all do our part to contribute to the demise of Meta threads by not participating them. That includes myself. I resisted joining this discussion all week until it appeared people were starting to implicate me personally, when I wasn't even a member of DU at the time. If we all try to avoid Meta threads in the future, DU would be much the better for it. When this Meta "shit show," to use Skinners phrase, extends to discussions outside of DU, it becomes particularly uber-Meta and thus all the more absurd.
