This guy has been a bully for over a decade, in fact since I joined the site nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #185
I had no idea- but responding with such cruelty yourself is not helping you any. bettyellen Aug 2015 #186
It is not cruel for me to wish them to understand the pain they have caused nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #187
you hope they "not just beak you, but beak you hard" . and "a full nasty dose" is pretty cruel. bettyellen Aug 2015 #188
Well if you do not understand that this is a way of telling him nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #189
no-one is bullying you nadin, and i've been insulted many a time on DU without playing the dionysus Aug 2015 #202
Yes you do, regularly nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #203
i'd advise you to take nadin's tales of never-ending persecution with a grain of salt. let's say dionysus Aug 2015 #208
how you exagerate what local media reported nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #211
3M approximately equals 9 feet nadin. tengo carnales en cuidad de mexico, nadin. take your racism dionysus Aug 2015 #215

Hmm nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #231
nadin loves to hide behind her "victim" status, while simultaneously posting crap like that. dionysus Aug 2015 #200
There is a very specific behavior at play here nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #204
"And since I am sure you will need a translation" no nadin... anyhow, it's "bite", not "byte". dionysus Aug 2015 #210

i recall one of the posters i am arguing with on this thread, who was trying to be "edgy", defended dionysus Aug 2015 #212
Again, not surprisingly you are misrepreseinting what I said nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #214
no, you wanted to be edgy and lecture DU on how whore is no longer gender specific, therefore was dionysus Aug 2015 #217
You keep misrepresenting nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #218
you give yourself far too much importance. if someone regularly makes up fantastical shit on a small dionysus Aug 2015 #220
