White privilege is a myth

"Women?" (Did you just bust another misogynist, Lem?)

Possibly.

Freaking really?? You can go kick rocks too!

"Women?" (Did you just bust another misogynist, Lem?)

Possibly. She simply offered that the person who told the story re: Harvard was a woman, not a guy.

Then you yanked her chain a good deal. Stuff about genitals and crap.

Then you flipped out on her here:

This takes the freaking cake, Lem. You are unbelievable! The pages and pages of really hurtful, really unkind and really ridiculous posts that are littered all over this freaking board and you have the freaking nerve to call me out over this? Really? You remain loyal and silent to countless example of hateful and downright disgusting posts every day. How dare you. You're absurd!

Yeah, my post is "hurtful, unkind and ridiculous" - Go kick rocks!!!!!

She's not the only woman who posts on this forum. This woman would like to know why you reacted so strongly and started throwing hands in response to a subtle correction. That was necessary for some reason? Did I miss something in my reading?

Trolls will be trolls, you expect crap from them, but ceeboo, you don’t seem to understand that it is actually worse to read sexist comments coming from a long-standing regular in our community. Jersey explained this in a very calm and straightforward way, and you were a jerk back to her.

Are you and calm twins?? Damn!! Give the guy a break! Get off your thrown for a minute and enjoy how the commoners live queen of the spirit paradise forum!

This is a great example of the nonsense women deal with regularly. I assume ceeboo is making this point because I noted that the original story was told by a woman. Why would some people feel the need to turn that piece of information into a spiteful and unnecessary jab— or multiple jabs, as ceeboo has?

It is hurtful, unkind, and ridiculous. But… it still occurs. Sigh.

There was only one way to respond to your correction, Lem. "Go kick rocks."

All other options were untenable, like, "Oh yeah, you're right; the story teller was female. My mistake." I suppose he also could have said nothing and just made the correction going forward.

But nobody ever admits mistakes on a message board, so if he was going to post about it, it had to be, "Go kick rocks."

Oops. I completely missed the fact that the author of the piece is a woman. My mistake.

Good point. And since 'go kick rocks' is by FAR the mildest insult on this board in recent times, I will ignore his rude genital reference and just Pollyanna the rock comment. As in... he must know my rock garden could use some attention. Yes, that's it!

Well, Ceebs, as I stated she made one post about the gender of the person being quoted. And then you kind of went off mocking and chain yanking. I don't think I missed any previous comments did I?

I didn't kick rocks today. But I did move some. Does that count for anything?

[ceeboo]

you kind of went off mocking and chain yanking.

The deep wisdom, balance and courage that you have shared to address my "mocking and chain yanking" is noted.

Now - Go kick rocks!
