In reply to the discussion: The latest "banning" (NYC_SKP) is an interesting lesson on REPUTATION. [View all]Prism
(5,815 posts)It's almost like cooperative storytelling. With yourself.
I'm at pains to understand who you think you're replying to. Not me, because I condemned Skp's language and said he was asking for a ban. I did so right here:

I wasn't talking to Boston Bean. In fact, I was simply backing up a few things Sabrina observed and commented upon, adding my own observations from this week and DU in general.
Prism speaks for Prism. If you asked me what is worse, using an unpleasant spoonerism or trying to attack a woman's very agency, I pick the attacks on agency. Guess what? I get to have that opinion! And nothing you can say can stop me from having it. I don't even have to be a woman to have that opinion. Just a human. Must chap your ass a bit, sure. But, fortunately, we haven't appointed anyone Guardian of Allowable Opinions around here, though I can see you forever angling for the job. Being a woman doesn't mean getting a special scepter that instills in you the power to bully other women, ya know. I'll back up Sabrina all day long.
I'm only slightly surprised that you haven't slowed down one bit after you racially beclowned yourself to the point where even your friends winced in your direction and had to bop you on the nose with a metaphorical newspaper. I mean, I was embarrassed for you at that point. And yet here you are, undimmed by shame or any attempt at self-reflection since then. Worse, you're trying to fashion a new fantasy conversation that happened where I spoke for black people. I didn't. I spoke as a gay man on an issue that had parallel overlap with a black issue (both LGBTers and PoCs were in the same boat with Sander's speech). This isn't even a subtle thought, and yet it continues to elude you.
Anyway, I look forward to the next imaginary conversation I'm certain to have with you in reply. It's always a thrill to learn what my mouth is saying in someone else's head, and god knows, you'll be certain to tell me.
