and meanwhile, while you're busy not taking the problem of door-opening seriously enough, we'll just be over here cheering on the blogger who advocates starving male babies.

Even Fred Phelps didn't advocate actually killing the targets of his hate.

Sheesh. Someone mentions Warren Fartbutt or whatever his name is, and certain DU members get followed around for months with "YOU DO KNOW WHAT HE WROTE IN PENTHOUSE IN 1977, DONTCHOO?"

But apparently it's totally fine to gush over a blogger who advocated child abuse last week, as long as the children (babies, really) in question are male.

I`m assuming we`re not supposed to use the dreaded "R-F" word?

not using certain terms in reference to people on DU is fairly clearly spelled out in the truce thread, which AFAIAC we're still trying to follow, meta being gone notwithstanding.

I don't have the jury results for the hide, though.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
