What's being a "lezzie" got to do with it, Big Sky Brad?

The picture above is from Big Sky Brad's online photo collection.

In the former du mod threads at DemocraticWarrior, Big Sky Brad showed that he really has a problem with women who don't find him man enough to convert them from their women-luvin' ways.

I've noticed that the very militant lezzies at DU can post whatever they want to on that forum and get away with it, while simply asking them a question will get one's post deleted.

Sapprocrat has to be the most viral lezzie on that forum. Unless Maddy McCall is a lezzie, and in that case, it's a tie. [Admin Edit.] is another lesbian that has been totally out of control over there lately.

For a long time I thought Bluebear was a lezzie because he was getting away with saying almost anything to anyone as well.

I don't think DU should have adopted a pro-gay stance when they first fired up that forum and then let people like those mentioned above represent gays that way.

Most gay people that I have met in real life would never say the mean or vile things those asshats have said on that forum to other people. They've hurt their own cause by being so vitriolic.

That was when I realized that it seemed like they were doing it on purpose - to make gays look bad.

Some newer gay DU members are ones that have joined the forum in just the last 3 years, and they appear to me to be doing just that, making gays look bad - by design. That's why I think a lot of those people who say they are gay at DU are fake gays. Especially the mean ones, the ones that say really awful things to other people on that forum.

He also tried to engage me - as a gay man - on this issue, via PMs. He sent me a PM, entitled, "I have a few questions for you."

[quote=big sky brad]Are you posting at PI?[/quote]

Yup, that's me.

[quote]Are you tired yet of having your posts edited here?
I see a lot of editing by Big Jerr in your posts.[/quote]

No. In each instance, I understand the reason why there was an Admin Edit. Having come from DU (where no real guidance or set of norms is provided or established), I actually prefer to have clear, bright lines.

Free speech is curtailed the moment I walk into someone's home. It is a privilege to be in someone's home. I consider DW to be BigJerr's virtual home. He's kindly laid out snacks and beverages in his front parlour, and provided a warm, comfortable, sunshine-filled space for us to gnosh and jawbone.

But you gotta respect the other guests and the host.

I know you're a true patriot, a true progressive, and a true proponent of veterans' rights. I hope you saw what I wrote to you the other day in response to the 4000 thread. That VA CARES deal set me off something fierce, let me tell you (oh, the stories I could tell you about what I did when I found out, too). At DU, I commented repeatedly about how too many Dems ignore military families and veterans. Do a Google on corpgovactivist and the term "military families" or corpgovactivist and veterans. You'll see.

My advice? Let's you and I make the point - rationally, politely, pointedly, and progressively - that military families and veterans should be courted this election cycle. But let's do so without personalizing it to the DU Admins, mods, etc.

[quote]Is radfringe really a liberal?[/quote]

Abso-positive-ly.

[quote]Considering her use of the term "nigger" in her post a few days ago, it sounds to me like she is not as big of a liberal as she professes to be.[/quote]

Actually, her use intentionally mirrored yours. She said [B][I]militant nigger[/I][/B] to make the point, I think, that adding the word [B][I]militant[/I][/B] to either [B][I]lezzies[/I][/B] or [B][I]niggers[/I][/B] does nothing to take the hurt and sting out of that word for other African Americans, or lesbians, respectively.

Try saying [B][I]jackass jarheads[/I][/B] to a group of Marines, and see if you get the chance to explain yourself: i.e., that you were only talking about [B][I]some[/I][/B] Marines.

:rofl:

[quote]That term is clearly defined as hate speech.[/quote]

So is lezzies. Adding the adjective [B][I]militant[/I][/B] in front of the term doesn't rob the noun it of its sting.

[quote]I wasn't even talking about her when I made my post about the militant lezzies at DU. I thought we had already gone over that ground before with her.[/quote]

She probably thinks she's already covered this ground with you.

; )

[quote]By the way, I never read anything Madspirit ever said here or at DU. Never even heard of her before. So, her fake outrage of me using the term "lezzie" is, well, fake.[/quote]

While her sudden appearance is interesting and eyebrow-raising, given the thread to which she responded, if she is a lesbian, her outrage is probably heartfelt. I'll agree with you that her sudden appearance is suspect, but if she is a lesbian, she's prolly gonna feel some solidarity there.

[quote]Is Maddy McCall, the one at DU, a lesbian? Do you know?[/quote]

I very strongly suspect so. She is definitely a [B][I]militant member of the LGBT orthodoxy crew[/I][/B] over there.

(That term seems to pass muster.)

; )

I respect Big Sky Brad's service to our country.

But he took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution: even for American "lezzies," and "lesbos," unless he can show me that he got to swear to a different version of the Marine Corps oath.

P.S. I may not have liked the unthinking GLBT orthodoxists at DU, but I still stuck up for them - even Maddy (who I think is about as dumb as dirt).
