A Thank you to Qui (3.00 / 3)

for taking the time to link to the LSF piece I wrote on the banning. A month after it happened and only done due to harrassment. Being harrassed I mean.

Re: A Thank you to Qui (none / 0)

You try to "out" people and slander them as something they are not, you get banned from DailyKos, then proceed to slander the person you outed because you are angry,

And now YOU claim to be the victim of harassment?

I find it most ironic that you have the nerve to post in a diary about "privacy" when all you do is obsessively seek to "out" people based on paranoid delusions.

Oy!

Greg (none / 0)

you have every right to defend yourself.

I am not even up on all this Marisacat stuff and I'm not taking sides at all.

But please try to keep as much of this crap off this site as possible. I don't need third-hand flamewars here.

And that goes for anyone else that wants to bring it here too. Including Marisacat.

Re: Greg (none / 0)

I didn't bring anything here.

If you allow other posters to link to flame war diaries (see above), and their ilk (Marisacat) to praise them for doing so, then you need to accept that those who are in the middle will address it.

And you tell me I have the right to defend myself, but I should keep this crap off your site?

Huh?

Personally, I find the fact that you are telling me to keep this stuff off your site laughable, when I didn't even bring it here.

( By teh way, wheres's the note to Briannaabanana and Marisacat and the guy that linked to the LSF diary and started all this here? Yeah, I thought so.)

I also find it ironic how you bring and start your own flame wars at Daily kos by transferring diaries from here to there and cursing people out and bitching and moaning about the way Dailykos is run, and then you get in the middle of this when I'm simply defending myself?

I guess you take the trash talk to Daily kos but like to keep your own hose clean and pristine?

Whatever!

I never even come here since I realized a long time ago it was just marketed as home base for disgruntled Kossacks.

So, if you wanna ban me, be my guest :)

Something I have wanted to ask (none / 1)

you -- why are you so damned defensive about someone asking you if you are a staffer for Shumer?

Wouldn't somebody without a serious fucking problem just be able to say "no" and move on? I mean where is the slander? What is your fucking problem?

Re: Something I have wanted to ask (none / 0)

Your whole characterization shows you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

My fucking problem is Marisacat's obsession with the banning and bringing me into it as if I had someting to do with it. I could give a shit if she got banned. I had nothing to fucking do with it. I was actually shocked when she was banned. But she continually posted about it on LSF with statements and innuendos about me and my role and fabrications about past statements I've made - over and over and over (and still lying that I was a staffer - as if she has a fucking clue).

I simply sent her an e-mail to set the record straight, but when it got posted on LSF my friend actually became incensed and since he is a snarky writer who tears down people for a living, I gave him my blessing to enter the fray on my behalf (personally it wasn't worth my time, but I knew it would amuse him and others). And, I might say, he did a very good (and hysterical) job of it.

So whenever this topic comes up you'll hear from my side. No matter where the fuck it is.

Re: Something I have wanted to ask (none / 0)

Actually, I read the threads ondKos and on LSF, so I know exactly what I am talking about -- if you are NOT a staffer for Shumer, then how has she "outed" you in any way? You say you are a phramacist, so fine. Who cares one way or another?

Re: Something I have wanted to ask (none / 0)

Well your last comment once again shows you aren't paying attention.

First of all, I never said she "outed" me. So, obviously you didn't read well enough. From what I hear, and have been told, ONE of the reasons she was banned because "asking" someone if they work as a paid staffer or information like that is a tactic used to intimidate and discredit posters and, therefore, not allowed. I guess for people who haven't been around awhile, a question like that from Marisacat could be intimidating and I do see their point.

Personally, I've seen Marisacat flying around on her broomstick and bouncing around Daily Kos like a fart in a jar for the last year and a half, so I knew what I was dealing with. I just laughed off her question about being a staffer and posted my reply with my real profession (not that I cared to really share it, or it was any of her fucking business, but I did nonetheless) in order to go on record with the facts.

So, Brianna banana, pay closer attention next time and you won't have so many misguided questions.
