(24,544 posts)And bravenak's thread in the AA forum was posted AFTER you ignored her apology and AFTER you posted this thread where you mischaracterize her as attacking all old people or all white people. She did NEITHER.
If you get a chance, I'd like you to rethink your role in this entire thing. It is my personal opinion that you have either mischaracterized or misinterpreted bravenak's post. This entire thing is absolutely ridiculous and it doesn't surprise me in the least that you have a slew of folks that many of us in the AA forum have identified as some of the most hostile here to black posters rec'ing, participating and egging all of this on. They are here and on Discussionist posting the most laughably stupid things about the handful of black posters here as if WE are the problem, as if WE are the ones creating the hostility that is on full display here almost daily.
When things calm down, it would be nice if you visited the AA forum. I have disagreed with many, many things you've written over the years but have not found YOU to be all that disagreeable. As for a few recognizable names here egging this on and pretending to support you, this invitation won't be extended to them. Not from me.
